A random "spring is in the air question" type of question for you all:

Females (in general) seem to be infatuated rather quickly. We also seem to be more tolerant of looks. But I've never in my life heard a girl claim her not-so-Brad-Pitt looking bf looks better than Brad. But guys on the other hand, more commonly claim things like that (especially if the guy's Italian ... and you just met -- haha). But anyway my question is: have you ever seriously claimed your bf or gf is better looking than Brad or Angelina (or any other hot actor/actress of your choosing)?

At the peak of infatuation we often think the object of our interest is the most perfect person (subjectively). But then there's a point when you've known the person for awhile and see reality. Now my question is based on the point in the relationship when you already know each other. So spouting this stuff to a stranger doesn't count. I wanna know who in right mind actually does think this of their significant other.

I don't have to. One of my coworkers is running around telling everyone my boyfriend is another Jang Dong-gun. Laughing

Are you aware that 싶다 means "want to"? Thus, your claim elsewhere that a native speaking Korean person said "외국인 남자 친구 하고 싶어" in response to observing you and your K-fella highly likely to be totally false? ~고 싶다 is used with verbs, not nouns. Totally literally, 하고 싶다 is "do and want".

Yes. I do know what 하고 싶다 means. You'll see that *I* did not translate it. Other people did.

I also know I was there, and you weren't.

I also know that you're a sock and a troll and you're hellbent on turning every thread into your fucked up ideals of buying young women with all of your money. It's old, it's tired. Just like you.

In short, STFU.
