“penpal” site
I was working on this post then realized it was time to go home…also wanted some fruits and salad so bought some…and yeah.
Anyways I’m back~ Also, during that time I got a reply on my previous post about guys being on those sites to find a foreign girlfriend. Thank you for worrying! But I think I’m good. I tend to be super careful, almost too careful. Nah never can be too careful, right? Right. ^^
But it is a good reminder for those who use sites like that looking for actual friends to help learn a language. A lot of the guys are looking for foreign girlfriends. Some just like foreign girls and some have evil thoughts. Just like any other huge group of guys. There are also girls who use to to seek out foreign guys. Just gotta be careful and use common sense on these things. Some people are good and some are bad. Have to weed them out.
Guys don’t make it past the messaging part 99.9% of the time before I block them anyways. Meeting? Basically impossible if they said one thing that made me raise an eyebrow. My block list is forever growing.
I don’t trust most people. Males or females. Remember my trust post? I have trust issues. Which makes it harder for a guy trying to bait. I don’t bite. Screw that. Definitely even more cautious in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language fluently. Have seen and heard too many bad things. Nope not the way I want my life to go.
I mostly get people who want to teach ask a ton of questions. I actually don’t mind those. The conversations are decent. I’m also meeting some fellow teachers here so that’s where I’m actually gaining something.
The guys…are there. There are a few that have been decent and really are working on their English. There’s just a few bad apples that make the entire bunch seem horrible.
Some girls fall for guys and whatever pick up line they use these days. I’ve heard plenty of stories that make me go “Really? You fell for that? He would get hit with a cast iron skillet.” I’m not one for that. hahaha I’m violent.
I don’t know, I think I can hold my own pretty well. I’ve been here almost 2 years and basically depend on myself for everything. Plus, I’m not a small girl, guys think they can take advantage of. Kind of intimidating. Ooops? Oh well~ 😛
If anything I’m avoiding guys from other countries instead of Korean men. The ones I have encountered so far have creep me out horribly though. *shivers* I know all of them aren’t bad, but I was stalked by a few when I was younger. So…no just no, heck I feel panicky just thinking about it. It was a horrible experience for me.
But yeah finally finished this post. i need to find out what to cook for dinner. ^^ I think I’m done with posting for today…or am I?
oooooooo~
Edit from current me: The way young me was still not careful enough with her heart. Honestly she should have avoided 99% of the guys she encountered no matter what.
