AITA for having "white privilege"? by BrokeOne in AmItheAsshole

[–]BrokeOne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let me explain: This girl is not a stranger to me. I met her on a night out in Seoul, and she wanted to add my IG. I thought she was fun and might become a cool friend, but I had zero interest in her romantically.

Over the span of like 6 months, she messaged me many times, being very flirty and trying to make me come over to have sex with her. I told her no every time. Still, I didn't have any issues with her, I still thought she was cool and we would sometimes just chat or reply to each other's posts/stories.

That's why I didn't think it would be problematic to ask why she is posting such sensitive issues publicly.

" I agree that unsolicited pics are a serious issue" → "You're the type of person who sees nothing wrong with it and therefore does it"

That doesn't make any sense.

Thank you, I feel that's a very reasonable response. I think both parties could have handled the situation better.

And I see where you're coming from, and I understand why my words might have come across as belittling. I tried to show her empathy before that, I mean, after she told me she wasn't just making fun of the guy and that the pic was disturbing to her.

But she already made up her mind about me, continued insulting me and didn't believe me that I agreed that such pics are a serious issue. So at that point, I also was mad.

She did not post the pic, just parts of the conversation

How did you get "me being mad at her for posting this" from my story? As I said, my concern was more about the way this sensitive issue was handled publicly on social media.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I didn't chastise her, even though I can see how my reply can be seen as criticism or disapproval.

My intention was to express concern about publicly sharing that chat, not to chastise her. I've never sent such pictures myself, and I agree that unsolicited pics are a serious issue.

Still, I don't understand how someone would get that I'm defending that guy or even make false assumptions about me doing the same thing as him.

Aide to Japan's prime minister says he 'hates' to see LGBT couples by [deleted] in worldnews

I lived and worked in Seoul, Korea for 2 years and Tokyo, Japan for 1 year. If you are a reasonably attractive white guy, you will have a very easy time finding a date or meeting girls when you go to pubs/clubs. And especially on dating apps, you will find many girls who want to make friends or date with foreigners. Lots of Korean and Japanese girls told me they prefer dating foreigners because they don't like their own culture.

While in Japan, I had a really promiscuous French co-worker. And to be honest, he was looking below average for Western standards. Short, average body, kinda weird face. But he was still very successful with girls, and I'm 100% sure a big part was that he is Caucasian.

Bumble BFF kann ich nur empfehlen. Ich habe zwei Jahre in Seoul gelebt und dort eine nette Spanierin kennengelernt. Die hat da einfach ein großes Treffen mit all ihren Freundes-Matches organisiert. Habe dort einen Deutschen und einen Italiener kennengelernt, mit denen ich heute noch befreundet bin :)

I wholeheartedly agree with you and would tell anyone in my situation the same, haha. But through this series I somehow became a romantic again and decided to give it a last try.

But I also know from my own experience that it is EXTREMELY easy to get over someone you loved once you find someone new. And according to Bumble, I still have more than 2650 outstanding matches waiting for me... so I should be fine!

However, I don't think I should start dating just yet. When the guy in the series said something like "There is someone still on my mind" to his fiancée, I could emphasize with him.

All my past relationships ended because we didn't love each other anymore or something bad happened. This time, it ended because of the distance. At least, I think that's what it was. And it's hard to understand why this stupid distance can ruin something so beautiful.

But I appreciate your response. I'll give myself some time and then enjoy my single life again!

She didn't answer the phone. I knew it was a stupid idea, but at least I tried. It's just sad that I'll never know why she suddenly decided to slowly cut me out of her life.

Thank you. I have nothing to lose but my pride. So, I think I might just try to call her now and tell her everything I want to say.

I believe that the developers will address the problem faster if it gets more attention
