sa14...come on, bro...
Not even 30 yrs old and giving up on finding a suitable partner doesn't seem right, Bro.
Here is a good quote from a Korean mother (mine):
"simpleneeds, listen up~ there are a lot of women you will love. You are a man... Men have many rooms in their heart that can be filled by many occupants, but women only have 1 room. The girl who falls in love with you when you are mature is the girl whose room you will move in to as her husband." (tough to translate from KOR -> ENG...sorry).
I think those were pretty wise words coming from an old-school Korean mom born from the ashes of the Korean war.
Recommendation would be to definitely maintain your standards, but know that standards change as you get older. Most kids want to be president when they're young, but soon find out that "living in a van, down by the river~~" may suffice too... Also, stop looking for relationships and giving girls grades. She may have intangibles that you never realized were so attractive.
The key takeaway is, your standards right right now will not be your standards when you're 35, 40, 45, 50, so don't let your current standards restrict you from accepting what your future standards may be. Standards are dynamic and will inevitably change every few years, if not sooner...
I'm only 34, so I sort of know where you are right now, i.e. we've grown up in similar times, so I understand what you're saying and why you have these crazy high standards, etc. | |
