I decided to try out tinder and discovered the site is absolute garbage. There are no real browsing options, interest selection is limited, there are fucking trannies who failed to properly disclose their status so they show up where they shouldn't, and it prohibits you from manually disclosing your location by forcing you to use location services.
Edit: Was likely banned for saying in the account description I hate regressive leftists and muslims, and also for saying I hate gender identity. Another possibility was that defending lolicon got me wrongfully banned for pro-pedo speech.
I love the first two paragraphs! This is the wholesomeness that unfortunately eludes me personally, but that I love to see. Here and elsewhere.
Korea is interesting, hey? Definitely hit or miss...
Women were friendly enough, to me, but were never interested in, y'know, "getting to know you", further...
I think they were more just... Hyper-cautious, than anything. But at least they feigned friendliness, and things might have worked out differently if I had... Done some things a bit differently (I was there for the Paralympics, and made some stupid travel decisions)...
But yeah. At least they tried. Chinese girls I have met (outside China) don't even pretend to be friendly, for the most part, lol... Or girls from Hong Kong, either.
My experience with... Both, has been almost universally horrible, lol... Possibly the worst I've ever experienced.
I'm assuming your wife is Korean, then? :-)
Taught there for 5 years -- meant it to be a one-year "clear my head" excursion and couldn't get enough.
Korean women... eh I dated a few. Both were crazy in completely different ways. I swore myself off of the dating game with Korean women because I didn't want to play 'the game' in Korea. I had a lot of chemistry with the head Korean teacher one year, but it never went anywhere because it could never go anywhere. My meeting my wife strained the relationship but she's moved on and married and we're friends again.
I thought I had a Chinese friend one time in Korea (we were both in the same Korean 학원 -- I really did try to get initiated with the culture) -- thought it might even turn into something. But alas, that wasn't what she was after and -- ultimately we only had our terrible Korean language skills in common.
Wife is Filipina -- she was getting her PhD in Daegu and had designs on America. I didn't help her get here (she for sure earned that on her own merits) but it helped that our lives were in some kind of similar path (I knew I needed to head home and had the 2019 Trump Optimism going... ugh, now I wish I was back in Korea, but I digress)
I forgot this, actually, but I remember when I was in Korea, I also met this wonderful Aussie chick (I think?) who was working in the media compound, covering the Paralympics...
I didn't have long with her, but she was great fun, ha. Also met a couple of alcoholic Russian blokes who were insane, and a few European dignitaries, plus a genuine Venezuelan fascist (who was bizarrely studying over there) amongst others...
Honestly, it was a pretty cool experience, all in all. I fucked up a lot of it, and I would do things differently now, if I had the chance. But I certainly wouldn't take it back, lol. Worth it.
