| Yeah Corporal. All you're saying is, "what?!!". Why don't you articulate what is wrong with the OP's remarks instead of just, "what?!!". |
 Okay.
The OP was whining (mostly incoherently) about being dumped for reasons she felt were unfair and illogical. Then she threw in a few silly and borderline racist generalizations about all the countrymen of the man who dumped her (just for good measure, one supposes).
After that, the thread quite predictably derailed with the arrival of such helpful, sociologically valuable contributions as: "yah, Kmen are all pussies" and "Koreans don't have their own minds". |

| Well, I for one would never marry a Korean man. For one thing the wife probably wouldn't stand for it. Besides our apartment is just too small for 3-somes day in and day out. |
hahahahahahaha.  |

My dear Corporal, it seems that everyone understood my thread except you. Perhaps not that incoherent after all.

Clearly you failed to read my second post of this discussion topic before posting the comment directly above. If you had read it, you may have understood that the advice I posted was the advice I was given from KOREANS THEMSELVES.
Oh dear, oh dear. |

Anyway, my message to foreign women who want to get serious with a Korean man is this:
1)Find out if he has any older brothers and if the older brother has any children (even then, you will be met with disapproval) |
Are you kidding. You've had one K-boyfriend and suddenly you know everything about how all Koreans are going to react to a foreign girlfriend entering their family?
|
Corporal, relationships in Korea follow VERY predictable themes, on a large scale. It's difficult to know how everyone will react, but date enough and it doesn't take long to figure out the patterns.
It feels weird to us, but it is totally normal to bring up questions like, "Would you marry a westerner and would your family approve." very early on in the relationship. That way, you're not wasting your time.
One thing I've learned here is that where western people might have 10 possible responses to a situation, Koreans have, on average, maybe 3, if that makes any sense. |

Oh my god get over yourself  . Referring to anyone as an animal is not acceptable no matter what the reasons are. |
Sure it is.
Donkey is an acceptable euphemism for jackass
and sponge-well that is in a league of its own |

| You're fortunate that you found-out quickly that his racist parents wouldn't accept you as a daughter-in-law. I had the same situation happen with a Chinese-American guy 9 months into our relationship. By that time I had fallen hard for him, and he absolutely broke my heart. One of the reasons I ran off to Korea. Needed a drastic change to help me get over him. Really, you're better off- I couldn't tolerate people like that as in-laws. They would never give you a break. If you're ever in the Seoul area, I know some very eligible single guys. |
