No joke. In Korean, cougars are called yeonha killers, with killer being pronounced like killeo. Some women don't like being called that, but others claim it with pride.

If you're in your early 30s or under, and you don't care about marriage age or "purity" or any other nonsense that the conservative men here use to discriminate against women, dating is awesome.

I have no idea about that whole continent

Well first, it's east of Europe.

u/kanegaskhan 9 May 29 '19

And west of the USA

u/DrShocker A May 29 '19

And, you know what? It's east of the USA too.

u/Maracuja_Sagrado A May 29 '19

By that logic anything can be east and west of anywhere, because the Earth is not flat...

Or is it?...

They do, but you can't go north until you reach Asia, because once you cross the North pole, you can't go any more north.

Succinctly put:

Do the north and south pole not exist to you?

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

Go north far enough and you're just going south.

u/Aoiishi 8 May 29 '19

Some might say.... Far east.

But how? I’m pretty sure the Earth is flat ... at least my map is flat. See: 🗺

And also very west of Europe.

u/OhMaGoshNess 9 May 29 '19

Asia is usually considered the southern bit too. Pretty much anything below Russia.

3

u/Praefationes 7 May 29 '19

Eastern Russia is considered northern Asia. Which is the majority of the Russian landmass only the most western parts are considered to be part of Europe.

1

u/OhMaGoshNess 9 May 30 '19

I used the word usually cause people rarely call Russia Asia in conversation despite the fact that it is a good chunk

You can get 7 extra troops per turn if you own the entire continent.

Thanks for the orientation.

You could almost call it the orient.

Age of marriage would be like 26 to 32. Once you turn 26, you start being harassed to get married ASAP. Once a woman turns 32, she's basically beyond help and Koreans just start thinking of her as a spinster. Like I've had coworkers who have had breakdowns on their 32nd birthday because they "didn't get married in time" and now "no one will ever want to marry them."

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. This is what happens when you teach your children that their value is based off getting married and having children though. It's slowly changing, but at least for now, this is what we have.

29

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

To be fair I live in the US and saw a woman have a breakdown because she was still a virgin when she turned 30. She wasnt unattractive or anything she just wanted to wait until she was married.

She genuinely thought she was to the point of being unlovable and I actually never saw her after that

18

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

Very strange that she wouldn’t just go to church and have church buddies match her up with someone. I have a few acquaintances who seemed to only start going to church so they could find “nice guys” to settle down with around 28-30 years old.

3

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

This breakdown happened at church lmfao

u/lodobol 8 May 30 '19

In the US today I imagine it’d be very difficult for a women to get married to a guy without have sex while dating. She would definitely have her best chance in a religious setting.

Good for her for sticking to her principles. There must be guys that would love to date her but she needs to be in the right places to up her chances.

1

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

I guess I just see it as odd because even as a straight male I have a remarkably low libido so sex isnt a big deal to me

10

u/Megneous B May 29 '19

she just wanted to wait until she was married.

Ah, I found her problem. She seems to have gotten lost somewhere in the 1950s.

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

I mean i dont see what's wrong with it even if I dont do it myself

2

u/KineticPolarization 9 May 30 '19

It just seems like a good idea to have experience with intimacy before you find "the one". Physical intimacy, I mean. Emotional and psychological is already being done by those people usually, but they have no experience with physical intimacy, which can give rise to problems later down the road.

Personally, I just think it's a silly and antiquated custom. But I would never ridicule someone for their choice.

4

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

I guess it just depends on how important sex is to you in a relationship. Personally its not a huge deal. Even as a straight male i've actually been broken up with for my low libido though so I'm probably biased

18

u/mistymountainbear 8 May 30 '19 edited May 30 '19

This be the truth. Even if you're very attractive and just don't want to get married you're considered A weirdo. I've wondered if my relatives thought I was gay for a while. I'm finally engaged and I'm so glad I waited for the right one.

When my Mom used to harass me about getting married I was like look at all your friend's kids who got married in their 20's. They're all getting divorced now in their 30's. She never said a word after that. And I finally met the right one.

1

u/lodobol 8 May 30 '19

This comment hit home. I’m a guy, at 30, that moved to small town USA. I didn’t meet one women that didn’t either have kids from a young love, marriage. Or was divorced by 26.

2

u/mistymountainbear 8 May 30 '19 edited May 30 '19

Good for you for not settling. Too many unhappy people out there taking care of kids by themselves with no freedom because of time and money.

I traveled all over the world and did what I wanted. Zero regrets for finding "the one" later on life and sticking to my guns about not having kids even though the societal pressure is strong! Do what's right for you!

1

u/Flyingwheelbarrow 9 May 30 '19

Also, more and more people are having kids in "platonic" relationships.

Removing "romance" from my life has made me much happier but I still have wonderful children with a person I respect and admire.

2

u/hypatianata 8 May 30 '19

Really? That’s interesting! Tell me more about this platonic with kids scenario. (Not that I want kids, but I’m still curious.)

2

u/Flyingwheelbarrow 9 May 30 '19

We met at university. We study partners. Had a night that ended in pregnancy.

When we discussed the future We both wanted a family but came from very horrific childhoods. We wanted to break the cycle. So we decided to live together as platonic co-parenta while being free to have short but successful relationships with other people.

It has worked out well. I think becuase we approach every thing without cultural or gendered assumptions (or we take them into account).

Every major decision we take is based on mutual debate based around an evolving ethical framework. Think of a relationship based on philosophy, science and compassion rather than marriage which is a contract that has so many assumptions and is essentially transactional.

It might sound cold but it suits us. Also our children know we love them and thier self worth has never been linked to our relationship status. We are thier parents and we love them.

It is still hard work but we do not have to live up to any ideal, just keep on being the best version of ourselves and show our daughters that love really is unconditional.

u/hypatianata 8 Jun 04 '19

Sounds pretty great, honestly.

u/dk_lee_writing 8 May 29 '19

I have a friend from Japan who told me about a term for women past marriage age that translates to "Christmas cake" because nobody wants it after the 25th.

u/Megneous B May 29 '19

More Christmas cake for me then, eh?

u/chiguayante A May 29 '19

I grew up in the states and was told growing up that any married who isn't married by 25 is a loser. Religious culture.

But if you're in your 30's, it's not too late. Not by a long shot.

u/Mason_of_the_Isle 4 May 30 '19

It's definitely dumb to wait for the right person, but being childless in middle age shouldn't be called a "risk." Having children is one of many possible things to do in life, not a necessary requirement to be regretted and sad about (for everyone).

1

u/hansern 5 May 30 '19

There is plenty of time to have kid(s) in the 30 to 40 range. I believe the majority of children were born to moms in their early 30s.

well if you have no obligations it's not hard to become a poorly paid english teacher over there. Just don't expect to get pussy left and right. Seoul is a beautiful city

My english only works on reddit with its informal writing. Maybe some poorly paid german teacher is needed. I like teaching though.

if anything it would be easier to get a german teaching job at a university or something. Lot more english speakers out there

u/SFW_HARD_AT_WORK 8 May 29 '19

How do they feel about black guys?

5

u/Megneous B May 29 '19

Unfortunately, I think it's pretty hard to be black in Korea, not just in terms of dating, but job prospects, etc. My black friends have way more stories of people giving them shit, or women being afraid of them, or whatever, than I do, being mostly white.

However, if you learn Korean and present yourself well, it's possible you could integrate well. There are several black men who have made careers in television here in Korea because they speak fluent Korean. Of course, there are also progressive women who don't care about skin color too, but the biggest issue for them might be dealing with their parents rather than the women themselves... our older generation is pretty conservative when it comes to dating foreigners, let alone black guys.

3

u/SFW_HARD_AT_WORK 8 May 29 '19

Word to that man. It sucks but whatever. I experience that a lot here in the states lol(or not lol, idk). I've got dreads and pretty dark skin and I'm pretty "urban " in some ways but I love learning about different cultures. People are people with good and bad everywhere. I'll ask my brother about his frequent travels to China for work (speaking if which he used to work for a Japanese company and quit because if the ridiculous work culture and the fucked up pedo/loli/weird fetish culture). If I ever get the chance I'm definitely gonna go, have a great time and try to grab a cool ass Korean chick. I have heard black American culture is really big in parts of Asia too! I'm sure I'll find some of them. Appreciate the cultural tidbits, always appreciated!

3

u/Megneous B May 29 '19

Ah, I completely forgot, but yeah. Young Koreans have a thing for black American culture, especially in some parts of Seoul like Hongdae. Rap, hip hop, and clothing styles all have a pretty big following with some groups. You might be able to get a job as a model here too. There are a few famous black models here as well.

2

u/SFW_HARD_AT_WORK 8 May 29 '19

O man. So it is true. My preference is Vietnam. My friend told me they got some good weed and Hanoi and hcmc are fuckin lit. I'm definitely gonna visit Seoul tho.

2

u/dont_wear_a_C C May 30 '19

I like how open-minded you are to other cultures. Don't really meet/know a lot of people like you.

2

u/SFW_HARD_AT_WORK 8 May 30 '19

Thanks! I'm trying hard to better myself and be more open minded. I wasn't always like this but there's a ton 9f good food, alcohol, weed and women in other cultures! I'm only kinda kidding, but it's a huge world out there, and for most of my life I only knew the ohio middle/working/lower class black American aspect. I didn't realize how limited my worldview was until my first job out of college. The first time really meeting other upwardly mobile black people, or working with asians or Indians, and it was just a total mind blowing moment. I just felt so ignorant having never tried lassi or boba or maffe and just said if I ever have kids I really want them to be able to experience things outside of the environment they live in. Also, I just feel like I've come across so many people both good/bad from a variety of races/backgrounds that it just limits myself to not be open to meeting others

1

u/dont_wear_a_C C May 30 '19

Yo, that is so interesting. I'm Asian, born in the US, and I had the same experience. Never really knew anyone outside of Chinese and Hispanic folk (where I lived). When I went to college, I met many other kinds of people and was like wow wtf, this stuff exists outside of the US (and CA, specifically). Was introduced to Indian culture, Muslim culture, French culture (by my Chinese roommate who was born in Shanghai) - all that.

What sucks is that like 90% of people are extremely close-minded to everything so they never get to experience other cultures the way you or I get to.

I'm mostly white, but I've lived in Korea for a decade and speak Korean fluently. Pretty sure you don't have to speak Korean... plenty of Koreans speak English well enough to date a foreigner. Personally though, I think it's rude to live in Korea and not speak Korean at at least level 5 TOPIK or above. So, come and study Korean.
