Hmm...

Sorry to say it, but every day I'm losing interest in Korean women. Maybe it's the dearth of them in STL, maybe it's me being impatient and/or being more open to the other possibilities. Also, I guess online dating has less stigma these days... I've been hearing more about people finding people that way and even getting married. It kinda makes sense though, esp. in this day and age of online social networking. Also keeps you from being limited to your own immediate circle of friends and family friends. The risk is greater with online, sure, but the payoff is also greater if you end up finding a good match. Or maybe I'm just talking to the wrong people and the traditional way to go is far superior. Who knows, but the fact remains: Korean women... you get less interesting to me every day as prospects.

Sounds less like you're losing interest in Korean women and instead are expanding your horizons beyond the cultural limitations drilled into you as a young child. That is a good thing.

Personally, I've gone through a reverse of this. When I was younger, I was more open to dating outside of the Korean-American circles. As I've gotten older though, I think the cultural attitudes that made me more open minded have started to harden. Its not to say that I'm not open to non-Koreans, but the preference is growing. I guess part of it is realizing what I want and understanding the importance of common values.

As for the online dating thing, I've known it to work, but I suppose like anything else in this world, you get your mix of folks from the good to the crazy. I think its fine as long as you keep it in perspective what it is: just another tool in the toolbox for meeting people. If you do it though, let me know how it goes. ;)
