Stephen CP #4

Sorry this is really old, but yes it did indeed happen ;).  Hyung Sung and Seong Bong came over to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday.  They were both really hungry and I had been drinking a little bit so I decided to make them all some homemade nachos!  Wow!  They were delicious... just put some Velveeta, chili, jalapenos, and some pepperoni in a pot and warmed it up.  I think my Korean friends enjoyed it a lot too which made me pretty happy.  While we were watching the game, Seong Bong and I had a conversation about how to meet a girl at a bar or a club.  He said in Korea you'd walk up to a girl and tell her that she was very beautiful, and then have some small talk.  Apparently humor is as necessary there as it is here when it comes to picking up chicas as well.  I told him that in the USA that it probably wouldn't be a wise decision to start off your icebreaker with "You are beautiful".  He asked me why, and so I told him that I think that here its more about being spontaneous and being exciting then being bluntly honest as to what your intentions are when you first meet a random woman at a bar.  Keep'em guessing and you'll make a better impression.  I'm curious if all the women here think that I've destroyed his chance of meeting women now.... oh well.  The Saints won the Super Bowl, and I was jumping up and down cursing at the ceiling because I was so happy.  The Koreans just chuckled at me and I realized that it would take a lot of teaching for them to truly understand American Football.

  1. For the most part I think your right about it being not a good idea to say "Your Beautiful" as an icebreaker...but it can be pulled off. It just takes a lot of confidence to pull off. But I digress.
