One Thing I Am Not Going to Korea for

I have noticed that aside from pointing out things that they think I should be afraid of, the most popular comment people keep making is something along the lines of "you'll get an Asian husband/boyfriend while you're over there."

While I realize that people mean no harm in saying this, I feel I should make one thing perfectly clear:

I am NOT going to Korean to find a man.

I am an independent single woman, and I am enjoying my freedom and lack of "significant other." While much of the Christian community seems to think that a woman's goal in life ought to be to marry and produce offspring, I beg to differ. I do not want to be married right now, I do not want to date, and I do not want to "hook up." I am content being single. I like being able to come and go as I please. I like being able to pack up and move across the world. I like not having to worry about someone else's goals/desires contradicting my own.

I am not saying that I never want to marry. I very much want to have children someday. But I wish people would stop trying to plant me in some bygone era and realize that a single Christian woman is not necessarily looking for a man every place she goes.
