Haha I enjoyed it ^_^
The sogating sounds kind of fun to be honest, meeting all these women basically saying if im good enough, you will date me. But I agree with your opinion that the guy should also be able to size up a woman, no reason for us to just accept them because we're "good enough". And imo the marriage age in the U.S. is closer to like 24-28.

Great read as always... Does your wife read/visit teamliquid often?

Hey MightyAtom, I know you said you deleted your old blog posts because you didn't want your boss/business associates to somehow dig up your old blogs but do you still have the 5 part "Being Competitive" blogs post saved somewhere? If you can PM or email them to me that would be great. I'd like to re-read them and send it to a friend.

You probably want to edit out your email address to prevent loads of spam. Unless it's a throwaway account, of course.

In any case, great post. It's always interesting to read your blog seeing as I'm someone who would probably never do the things you do! 5/5.

@HwangjaeTerran: Hope part 2 makes more sense ^^

@chaokel: Westerns party better, but Koreans have no shame to go full out!

@mptj: Sogatings in University are super super fun, but not for marriage, sucks...but yeah, super competitive society in Korea

@crazeman: My wife is the anti-nerd, classical music, yoga and entertainment gossip, she will never find me here even if teamliquid is open, she thinks I am on some type of gaming information
portal for research and you guys are my discussion groups keke

@BLinD-RawR: thanks but what is 'HIMYM reference'

@DarkOptik: be blindly ambitious with no regards to your family and you'll be like me if you wanted to be ^^ but thanks.

@TheMunkey: glad you found the link and my wife loves all complements to her beauty keke

@7mk: ^^ part 2 up, and it amazingly enough concludes in only 2 parts!

@Stealthypoo: ㄳ ^^

@KissBlade: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=108630&currentpage=15 last post at the bottom ^^

@shadesofkarma ^^

@Elegy: 28, she still hasn't aged at all

@Straught: What hell is HIMYM? Ah, i had to google that, us sitcom: How I met your mother. hehe, sorry not big on the US dramas except for SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND!!!

I do aswell hate it when you get set up with girls that spend the entire night trying to find out what's wrong with you and then give you a letter that will lead you series of clues that takes you on a adventure where you need to fight at least one mutant with powers beyond yours, take up cliff diving, learn clairvoiance and attend the last supper to get her number. All the while I've spent the entire night in a miserable state trying to engage someone giving no response back at all.

The worst part of this and just shows you how shallow our society is. At first I used to say that I worked in billing. Because that's what I do, infact I do all the billing and all the packing (since we are a very small firm with only around 500 different products and a yearly revenue if around 4-5 million dollars.) Which ofcourse was met with alot of sighs and negativity, so instead I started to use my title which is Head of distribution. Suddenly even when I said the exact same words as I did when saying "Billing" they would think the work was facinating.

Sometimes I wish that I could be allowed to inspect their hips and say stuff like "I don't know, I don't think these small hips can bring me the many sons I expect of you"

i love the last line, lol.
you know, all people are simple, you want to live as authentically as possible,
but the fact is that most people aren't the head of distribution (in that kind of position)and they would rather want to marry the head of distribution than the guy who does the billing ^^

I'm sure if you met a woman, like the one that owns BMW (but uber younger), she'd probably say, her father sells cars ^^

But being Korean, I accept you need to show some bling to get the conversation going.

Yeah I graduated last year and taking a year off before jumping into law school this fall, probably.

Man, next time I'm in Seoul we gotta have a little TL meet up again. haha. Did not know last time that you were so recently married. And seriously, the way you met your wife on the FIRST introduction with the "will you marry me" is like straight out of a movie/kdrama haha.
