 |
|
So now that I'm married, the Korean females I meet at the office end up asking me to introduce them to a nice foreign guy. This is really difficult, as I wouldn't wish some of my single foreign friends on these nice people (haha). That, or the non-player guys are in a relationship.
A nice Korean lady dropped by work today to distribute some material for an event she's involved with. We chatted for a while, and as often happens after we discuss me getting married to a Korean, I was asked by this woman how a Korean girl can meet a "nice/normal" foreign guy her age.
She's 27 and looks like a stewardess. Any single guys out there? 
Trust me -- you want to be my friend! |

I wouldn't
Most foreign men I've met are absolute creeps. And the ones who are not creeps, aren't interested in Asian girls. Interesting how it works out that way. wonder if theres a correlation...
Anyways, I'm always careful about introducing people. I know if something bad happens you're the inbetween. And that ALWAYS sucks.
A lot more can go wrong, and if things do go right. you probably won't even be rewarded... at most like a basket of fruit. |

I get this problem too, mostly from my wife's friends. It's always very uncomfortable for me, as it makes me confront the fact that my friends are either fat or sleazeballs.
The girls wouldn't be interested in my friends who don't bother to take care of their appearance, and the guys who take care of their appearance would eventually do something terrible which would eventually be a mess for me.
It's odd that I didn't know what a motley group of screw ups I had for friends until I got married. |

Just tell them they are fat or sleazeballs in korean and then let them decide.

| I'm not married, but I've had the same problem. I have lots of friends, but the good ones are already married and the others, well... meh. |

Why not "escort" her down to Itaewon, Bass?
Let her pick, make a few bucks. |

Hey, I suggested that she go to Geckos and hang out, but we both figured she's probably not meet the cream of the crop there! ha! |

| Hmm I am *that* guy. My coteacher (among others) wants to introduce me to a friend of hers... I never mentioned wanting to find a girlfriend or feeling lonely but I figure it's the Korean matchmaking culture at work. The only thing is, I find matchmaking/blind dating to be frightening (yeah I'm a wuss). |

Naw.
If you go in with the mindset that you'll have a coffee and a few laughs and live for the moment, it's all good. |

She might not have really meant for you to introduce people to her, just make conversation. |
