Cool, man. So what's the korean social life like for a 19 year old American? Did you meet your ex through sc? Not trying to be too nosy, just trying to gain some perspective on Korean nightlife/the social scene.

the night life / social scene is INCREDIBLY good and too god damn easy for tall white boys

So Rekrul, instead of making it big in the progaming scene, you've started "succeeding in life" by going into night clubs and getting an asian girlfriend? You've discovered your sexuality in Korea or something? What success is that? Were you perhaps a virgin going into Korea? You had never been in a city before?

You make it sound like you've somehow grown up now, but the thing which still reveals you as a dreamer is your poker talk. How much money do you make from playing internet poker? If you'd never played Starcraft and just got an education quickly, become a lawyer or a succesful businessman you'd make 50 times that and you'd have a lot of experience and a career by now. You would meet a lot of interesting people and you could build a life for yourself. You went to Korea with the idea that your skills in a computer game would get you through life, and now that you know that you were naive to assume that you go into assuming that poker will get you somewhere? You sound like a street hustler who sells dope on a day by day basis and thinks he's going to have a pension or something when he's old.

I'm sorry but you just seem to be afraid that people will make fun of your non-existent Starcraft skills. You never had any chance in progaming, like noone here does, but still you made it sound like you did. Now you're really disappointed that you in fact don't, and you want to explain everyone how cruel the real world is like. Well wake up kid and smell the coffee. After a while you'll realise that clubbing and partying takes you nowhere and you'll go back to USA with your tail between your legs and get back to school and everything starts from scratch once again. You can write another sorry post here then.

What will you have gained? Experience from life for sure. You'll know what not to do in the future. What you should have done is go into a university and be an exchange student for 2-3 years in a country of your choosing, or even many countries. You can see the world and enjoy it while actually doing something useful, like making yourself a better man. I did that, and now I have a career in law while you try to explain a bunch of 13 year old kids that in real life you have to work to be able to live. Yeah you're the man.

Very insightful.

I might give up SC because of this.

=.=

Maybe you can consider going into a Korean University?

Whats the money like in Poker? Can u really live a good lifestyle just from playing poker? It seems a bit too good to be true to me. If ur good at poker then ur good at maths in which case become a maths boffin at harvard or something that would be awesome.

OMG what a stupid sack of shit you are ... did you actually reread what you have written or did you kept your head stuck in your ass since you are 10 years old ?????? ... sry but this just amazes me............... who are you to tell what it takes to become a better man? who are you to judge what he has lived there and who much it matters for his own self ? who are you to tell us what is the "straight and righteous path" ( and anyoen who's not a complete moron knows there is none since his 15 years ) to follow in life like if we were all a bunch of retards ? So he stopped his studies for 1 year and he's a good for nothing ?

Instead of typing some random arrogant shit like you do you'd better ask yourself why are you so narrow minded ....... Omg that was one of the most lame-ass post i have read in a loooooooooong time.... Personal opinions aside i would never have the arrogance to judge someone of whom i know very little.
