They want a Korean...ting!

I am in Korea, and I can't get a date.
All my other ethnic friends in the place seem to be getting some. I had a discussion with a sexy Chinese teacher, a beautiful Italian teacher and an attractive African-American teacher, who all told me they were trying to see what Korean women were "saying."

Now, at no other time in my life would I have found this normal, but in this setting, I just can't be mad. The cultural melieu that is my social reality right now, does not extend beyond certain forms of carnal, simplistic, chauvanist and honest foolishness. I just can't be angry at the abundance of Korean "opportunity" around me. When I think about it, we are all here for the same reason. My physical and mental attributes are not necessarily meant to be compared, but lets just question that if one had the option to explore the planet, its resources and its humanity to the fullest, could one really deny the chance to know...What is it like? I am here to teach English, earn some money, have a good time and learn about another culture. And this is not limited to embracing romance if it comes, but it might not come. Others are here to teach English, "protect democracy", earn some money, have a good time, learn about another culture and chase Korean girls. Let that not be limited to embracing some enlightening self-revelations about personal space and aptitude for change.

For this reason and this reason only do I shake off the rejection that pervades me. I reckon that this be the only time in my life that I can feel and look A-sexual and embrace the lack of opportunity to confuse sex, love, lies and circumstance.

I am not opposed to any love. I am just opposed to faking it.
