OP's BMI is just under 21. That is not overweight. In fact, that is even less than P-Playmate average. However, it is higher than average of Miss America, and she isn't going to ride a Kentucky Derby winner anytime soon. Laughing

I would post a picture to prove I'm not fat....but then realized I didn't care based on one of the poster's icons. I don't know how I didn't realize it before. It's of the twisted Asian girl legs? That kind of tells me all I need to know. Beta man goes over and gets hot Asian girl yadda yadda.

HERE is my real question though...

how in the hell can you tell the difference between a 28 year old and a 30 year old? You can't. The "hottest" woman in the world this year (according to Maxim, which I'm sure you all listen to, because the more I read the less I'm apt to take this board seriously....) listed Scarlett Johannson as hottest girl this year, and she's 28 (29 in three weeks!) 3 of the 7 Victorias secret models are over 30. On and on and on. Yes, they're hot celebrities, but the point I'm making is that they set the standard and the standard is that 30 =/= death.

Maybe it's not typical or desirable to be single at 30 but it's certainly not the nightmare you're making it out to be.

PS: 30-40 are not "prime childbearing " but neither is 25. More like 15-19. Maybe we should just go back to being hunter gatheres too? I bet we'd be skinnier?

Hey, Op don't take any fool that posts on here that admits to owning and wearing multiple varieties of Hanbok out in public. These types of clowns can't be taken seriously; I'm serious.

Hey Fox,

For a guy who is above caring what other people think, you seem to get wound up rather easily. What's the story?

OP - you've been posting a lot and I haven't replied, but I think you know in your heart the answers to all the questions you're asking.

If your family is worried about you moving to Korea, (which is understandable), tell them you love them but you need to live your own life. You can use Skype and phone them regularly to reassure them everything is okay while you are in Korea.

Don't spend your life waiting for the man of your dreams to come along and make you his wife. Maybe you will meet someone in Korea. Maybe you won't. But to put your life on hold because you fear growing old alone is something you may live to regret.

How can a person you have never met liking a particular article of clothing upset you so much that it not only lodges itself in your memory, but that you spontaneously bring it up in an unrelated conversation? I've said plenty of other things which I can understand people holding onto and simmering over, but liking hanboks? That is what you've chosen to do the whole Internet stalker thing over?

Stay home, save your sanity. Those Koreans will make you feel fat all the time. Most average western girls gain weight when they go to Korea. You're going to easily put on another 20 lbs. inside of six months. You'll be horribly depressed, you'll miss home. You could even get raped. Then you'll go back to your home country and tell everyone you know how horrible Korean people are because no one cared and people gave you a hard time for wearing low cut shirts showing off your sagging boobs.

Fox,

See, you bite too easily. Why are you so angry? Why do you have to respond with some sort of put down?

Cat12345. Korea is safe, proabably safer than anywhere you've ever lived. And with rare exceptions, the foreign population - including any honest posters here - ranges from out-of-shape to obese and from plain to ugly and beyond. "They" say that schools prefer to hire beautiful and handsome teachers, but I've yet to meet one. I'd say that the schools just try to avoid hiring the large segment that ranges beyond ugly, into hideous and frightening. So, come on over. Hopefully, as to looks, you won't fit right in.

See Fox, every post you make has a put down.

Your anger is a block on your golden pathway to Nirvana. Try some random acts of kindness least you be reincarnated as a cockroach so you can experience and suffer random anger from strangers.
