Now, I am really sick and tired of Korean guys. Period. I have gotten terribly involved with my language exchange partner in the past month(who incidently is from Korea and looks somewhat similiar to the actor above). Somehow, the lack of logic of the male Korean has stimied me again.
The kicker for me is the "lure" of the Korean guy. What girl wouldn't be thrilled when someone always automatically carries their book bag/gym bag/parcels? They don't offer, they just grab the bags without hesitation. The 4--6 text messages a day, with sweet words that all girls love to hear, is also wonderful. Having a guy who's tall, beautiful thick and wavy jet-black hair and has a natural talent for dressing well sure seals the deal. It's always fun to explore the city with someone who's new to it and is polite enough to do whatever "I" want...how many guys would sit in my favorite cafes and sip cappicinos for days on end? Can I mention the variations on "romantic expression" are very different from the typical Canadian norm. He would always go out of the way...even ride an extra hour on the transit system to drop me off in my neighbourhood.
Anyway, things are starting to SUCK. From out of nowhere comes all this shit. It was light, airy, fun and romantic times. Then, he turns "MR SERIOUS". All of a sudden, he mentions that he has mentioned me to his brother, sisiter-in-law, sister #2 in Korea. They are not happy with his choice...what would his mother say..apparently, it's a sin to be in a relationship with someone who has children and is a few years older than him. All I can say is HOLY SHIT, get a life. The guy is 35, and he can't make his own decisions. It's just getting stupid(more stupid). Yes, it's their culture, I have heard it on all the expat blogs. But to actually experience this in person is a joke! All my life, I have made a stand for guys of other cultures than my own...stood up to my own parents even and have almost been excommunicated. But I am an individual and I take pride in expressing myself. My mind is blown that I am being stood up on trial, before a judge and jury, just for being myself...white, middle aged and with kids. It's like being on the Gong-Show, having that "cane of shame" come out from the sidelines and pull me off stage. And then, he has become very serious about his future, his success that he is banking on as a writer when he returns back to Korea, how he should really spend more time writing and speaking English to as many people as possible. Yes, brush-off perhaps but maybe it's just his true personality. Maybe all asian guys learn how to charm in the beginning, but when their realy personality comes out, it's not very wonderful at all.
All I can say is FUCK IT. I would rather walk along with my integrity and individuality.
Sometimes though, I wish I was blind, so I wouldn't have to look at these handsome Asian guys and think of possibilities...I seem to get burned everytime.
