I think he's confused you with princess. At least that's what I think that poster's name was.

Not to worry, I used to get chiaa mixed up with cheem, and it took me a full month of steady effort to remember krats1976 as something other than Legolas.

Whats wrong with dating only koreans? Are we supposed to fill a quota of foreigners we date? whats the split? 50/50? Is this a new movement to shame foreign men into dating western women? I dont get it. Explain it to me please.

I think it is silly confine yourself to one race in the nation stakes, but I rather think this is a language / culture issue rather than an ethnic one.

I've decided, pretty much, that I'd rather be with someone who is a native English speaker, but that still gives me the luxury of being able to date people of pretty much any race, and from several nationalities. Koreans don't have that luxury. There is only one Korea and only one (accessible) version of the Korean language. I understand the people who want to date people of the same, or similar culture. S**t, I do.

Sometimes, I wish people would just take a second to view the world through the eyes of others.

I don't see the problem. If a type generally doesn't do it for you, why pretend? I don't date fat girls. I may find an exception, but I haven't yet. Does that make me an A-hole? Paperbag Princess, would you date a quadrapelegic? Is anyone who doesn't date quadrapelegics insensative to their plight? Biased against weak people? I don't want to saddle myself with the burden of exclusively spending the rest of my life attached to someone who can offer me no real support. And I certainly would think twice before marrying someone who would make my parents ashamed of me, my friends disassociate themselves with me, and my children pariahs in my home country. Which is realisticly what some koreans fell will be the outcome. Not too unrealistically for some. And yes, I have been burned like that, but hurt though it does, I DO understand her position.
She was weak. I'm glad I found that out before I married her.

And I typically don't date western girls. I'm white, and proud of my family. Am I a racist?
