I don’t talk to my parents often, but not because we don’t have a good relationship. On the contrary, my parents and I actually have a great, solid relationship, but when you live in Atlanta and they live in Seoul, finding a good time for an actual phone conversation can prove difficult at times. Still, one thing I can always count on in every conversation is my Mother asking me if I’ve found a boyfriend yet. I’m sure it can’t just be mine, yours must ask you that too… right? I don’t know if she’s disappointed that I’ve been answering this question with the same”No Ma, no boyfriend yet” for the past 4 years or relieved. Although, I’m guessing it’s the former seeing as last night she came back with “Really, not even after moving to this big new city?” I then had to explain to her the logistics of living in Atlanta. Now, I’ve only been a resident since March, but so far I’ve only men I’ve come across have either been too short (now, I’m only 5’5, so if I think they’re short, then that should tell you something), gay or married. None of which, I’m interested in.
But to be honest, I’m not on the prowl anyways. I just happen to be one of the few females who actually can be happy sans-relationship. I’m still young(ish) and I have a lot of plans for myself that a man just might get in the way of. But, should one come along that is not already in a relationship, can actually see over my head, is not into men, can support himself and most importantly not get on my nerves... well, I won’t completely dismiss him either.
But until then, I’m good.
PS. Let me end by saying I am not trying to down Atlanta men, I’m sure not all of you are horizontally challenged. Nor gay. A few of you are probably even single… I just haven’t met you yet.

Hah, I remember reading a similar discussion a while back on 9rules Notes. Oh well – Pretty soon you’ll start shrinking and all your dating troubles will be over.
You have a good point Chris, Asians do have a tendency to shrink significantly as they get older, but then I’m only half, so will that mean I’ll only shrink half as much? Hmmmm….
See, you think at 4’11 I would be into dating short men, but I kinda feel you on this one… LOL I know that is bad, lil men need love too, but I ask the Lord often if they can find love with someone else I would appreciate it…
LOL, you are a straight fool Jenn!
Now somebody has to take em…I’m 5’9″ and well….Nothing else needs to be said about that….TAKE THE SHORT MEN, PLEASE!!!!!
I got the solution to your problem, You should start dating black men. I guarantee, you won’t be single no more. Truthfully theirs a lot of us who is single, hard workers who looking for a supportive partner not a sidekick.
Thanks for the comment Byron… but what makes you think that I don’t?
All races included on this one; I’ve been here since 2000 and all the mean I meet have been majority of all of the above (short, gay, married, in a relationship or crazy). Let me not forget old!!
They out number the sane, stable, respective, intelligent and attractive men. Sad, so sad.
Thought about moving, but the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
