PC rooms and Military Service, the great EQUALIZERS!

As already mentioned, there's a HUGE male surplus in Korea.

Even with the thousands of pc rooms, the thousands of drinking places, the thousands of red light districts, there's a sea of Korean men who spit and hark and push and shove and just don't give a damn about anyone. (mainly single geese in their 30s and up)

And even with the mandatory military service and the thousands of taxi-drivers and office buildings, there's a sea of ajosshis roaming the streets at ALL hours, smoking, puking, pissing and pestering women.

Anyway, without the PC rooms, military service and drinking places;
Total anarchy.

Conclusion; PC rooms, the obligatory military service and the sex industry are the great equalizers, without these factors Korean society would collapse and fall back into the Stone Age.

Hence Yongsan: where you can play starcraft, f'ck a *beep*, and get back to your garrison...all in a 2 hour timespan.

Cigs are too cheap here, sux,

Good thing though that pc rooms are rather cheap. Keep the animals where they belong, in a dark room in a dungeon.

They are so gross. All the ajossis smoking, staring, and making animal sounds. I was in a grocery store yesterday afternoon and an ajossi was just sitting in the produce section smoking and drinking soju. I was surprised those women in the store tolerated this gross man smoking and drinking in the grocery store, but it's probably because he was older than them and they respect older people by not saying anything or telling them what to do. Every time I go anywhere, there's all these old men sitting around staring and smoking. I'm surprised they live to such ripe old ages with all that smoking and drinking every day, but maybe it's because they kept their body weight at a minimum. Old people are respected, but at the same time, are kicked to the curb and ignored since their useless. Ignore their annoyances, because what can they do? nothing.

They need community centers for them to go sit and socialize with other senior citizens; not the streets and stores.

Why not be friendly with them and say hi? They're lonely.
