Women's 'prime childbearing years' are not in their thirties. |
They are in Korea, but that is mostly because a lot of 30 year old Korean women have the bodies of 20 year olds.. |

It's not just about what they look like on the outside you know.  |

| To be fair, the OP could meet her husband in Korea. I know of a few women who met their husbands (always foreign) while in Korea. It's not unheard of. |

I have several female friends married to Korean men and they all came to Korea single.
Between the ages 33-35 the risk of birth defects goes up slowly but after 35 the risk level rises very quickly. The lowest risk is below the age of 32.

Isn't it like 16-27? By the time you're 30 you have lost like 90% of your eggs. |

| I'd take what men living in korea teaching English longer than a year or 2 with a grain of salt. Most (certainly not all) are definition loserville. I work with plenty of women 30 plus who take care of themselves and actively date in Canada. I know plenty of late 30s early 40s men with banker gut that couldn't get a date if they tried because they lost their youth and they aren't in decent careers. Their solution is to go to 3rd world countries in Asia and exploit their passport. These are usually the types that think all western women are fat. Losers. |

"Actively date." My twice-divorced mother who is in her fifties is still "actively dating." She's miserable, says she regrets instigating her first divorce. She's right to regret it, but at least she managed some kids before ending up in the dating trap, meaning that she at least won't die alone after being strung along by a series of men who have zero actual loyalty to her.
Probably wasting my time here. Children and family take time away from bars, mass-media entertainment, "careers," and casual sex, the summum bonum of modern life. Valuing something other than the above will be met with nothing but scorn. "Caring about children and family instead of casual sex with a bar fly? Loser." |

My families net worth is six times the US median. My wife has two degrees and we have two children. Not all of us are losers. Thank you. |

Glad you took the time to calculate that.
There is obviously something amiss in your life when you feel the need to respond to some tame internet baiting here on Dave’s.
Your response opens you up to even more 'baiting' by pros such as IPIC.
I bet you don't earn as much as he does btw! |

| Women in the home countries will probably find a bigger dating pool than Korea. |

Yeah I wasn't talking about being single and dating in your 50s. That wouldn't be the greatest. I'm talking about guys here saying that when a woman is 32 she's 'past it.' Times have changed and although men still do hold an upper hand it isn't all gravy unless you show that the maturity comes with the capacity to provide economic benefits to a younger female. You know...money? Or the illusion of it. Try being a man 55 and bald with a gut and a dead end job. You won't be anymore marketable.
Sorry Fox, I work with plenty of career women that between them and their husbands spend a ton of time with their kids. Granted they both have great public service jobs with generous benefits but it isn't always black and white ( a woman has to stay at home or else she's a feminist ladder climbing pathetic excuse of a parent which is destroying the nuclear family). Balance can exist and plenty Canadian men I know take more responsibilities at home instead of living at the office expecting their wives to take care of everything at home. It can work in certain circumstances. I also know plenty of great parents that also go out and have fun like single people do.
Nohiteplease,
I said most not all. Yes, you are clearly one of the many I met in Korea that is doing so well you have to make it known every chance you get that you "aren't one of them" judging by your reaction from my post. Met plenty like you. In few cases they backed up what they said. They were however terribly insecure individuals. |

Perhaps even less marketable, but the dead-end job at that age is more of a killer than the gut. The guy currently stringing my mother along has a gut, but he's got a good job; if he didn't, they'd be on much more level ground, or maybe she'd have the upper hand. The thing is, a poor guy can at least hypothetically increase his earning potential and make up for past mistakes through hard work, while a woman who lets her prime years slip by because "a partner would cramp [her] style" becomes the woman from the article I linked above, and there's not much she can do about it. The original poster seemed like she wanted an honest discussion, so that's a reality she should consider carefully.

I was mostly speaking of women who choose screwing around with a "Sex and the City" lifestyle at the expense of family, not women trying to balance family and career. The former are misguided, while the latter are generally just doing the best they can in the world as it is. |

Ah yes, the US median. My brother's butler has a master's degree and he pulls in a six figure salary, but no matter how you slice it, he is just the household staff.
What's next? Are you going to tell us you keep your "wealth" in various banks throughout the world? |

The OP is overweight by 30 pounds, more likely 40 or 50, but hey this is the internet, what's 20 or 30 pounds when you're typing all those calories away?
Thin skin, won't make it six months before the kiddies have her on a plane back to Amish country. |
