My Korean nuna today asked me how my Brasilera girlfriend was. I told her I am strongly considering firing her and the first thing out of my Korean friend's mouth was "good, I have good Korean girl for you to marry."

Now, my nuna is an interesting woman to say the least. I first met her in Korea but she was living in the New York at the time. She owned a couple of Chinese/Korean/Japanese restaurants in Manhatten......and a couple of Flushing's finest AMPs. She moved her action - the AMPs, not the restaurants - down my way in the late 90's and is still in business today. I don't see her much anymore - anyone who hit's AMPs on the East Coast knows that the quality and service disappeared about five years ago - but every once in a while she'll call and say she has a hot young unit in (these days that means the unit is under 40 and ranks about a 4 on the 1-10 scale) and I should come by and take her for a test drive.

Anyways, I'm sitting in her office, trying not to die from the kimchee and fish dinner that she's eating - don't ask me how I made it through a year in Japan and Korea, the food literally makes me want to hurl. In the past she's pestered me about why don't I get married, why I went through 14 Korean girlfriends in the late 90s/early 00s, etc. As a quick aside, you can get away with playing the field in Korea if your no more than 30-32 years old, but after that, if you're not married you are either "unlucky" or a playboy.

The reason for this unsolicited personals service is that she has a couple of nieces in Korea who want to live in the US, and she can get them a legit tourist visa but not a work visa, and she doesn't want to pay Korea Killers or Asian Playboys an arm and two legs to get a legit visa. She doesn't want her neices to live here as illegals, so that's where us single, white round-eyes come in.

Apparently, the going rate these days is about $15,000 as a "dowry", paid out over the two years or so it takes for your new mrs. to get her green card. After that, divorce is fine, just get your temporary love of your life a green card and the cash is yours.

I asked her if I could test drive her neices first, to make sure they were attractive, could fuck and give good head, etc. She threw a fish head at me and said no, but I could certainly meet them first. What a deal!

I've had this exact same proposition thrown at me a few times by Vietnamese. Same rate was mentioned too. $15k and all expenses. Aparently it is the going rate. Tempting but I analyzed that the potential down side could be substantially higher than $15k.

Other than the divorce costs, what's your view of the potential downside? In other words, would spending a few of those $15k on a good prenup be sufficient?

PS: Ever since I saw this video

about a week ago, I've been in awe of the "mad housewife skillz" that some anonymous asian chick might have...

PS, Catocony,

If she's unconfortable with you doing the test-driving, tell her you'll find an unbiased independent analyst...

"what's your view of the potential downside?"

The part where in the state of California I would be legally liable to any debt she incurs and she is legally entitled to keep half of anything I make while married. Throw in a real estate transaction during that time or something like that and it REALLY gets scary. Plus if it turned adversarial for any reason, all she would have to do to avoid deportation is call 911 and claim you hit her. Her relatives are well aware of this clause.

In the end, if everything worked out, great. An easy $15k. If the deal fell apart for any reason. You have zero leverage and she holds all the cards.

Sancho is right, I think there is some sort of consideration given by the Immigration service for "battered" and "abused" spouses. Plus, wait 'till she alleges the "husband" was in on a consipiracy for marriage fraud. Prenupts and Postnupts are never infallible, ask Barry Bonds.

Gnomes,

I don't know why, but I find myself quite fascinated by the little Japanese training video on how to fold t-shirts. Maybe I'm just having a boring afternoon, but that was pretty fucking cool.

T-short folding is getting you excited, huh Cat? I'd say you are way past due for a pure mongering trip, sans wife. It's either that or marry the girl and retire.

14 Korean gf's...wow, you are a glutton for punishment. Everyone I know who has dated Korean women have been miserable. They have about as much enthusiasm as a 80 year old postal worker and are by far the ugliest women in Asia. Even some of the uglier Filipinas I have known point out how damn ugly the Korean women are that they see in Boracay with legs and shoulders built like a fullback. Yeah yeah yeah, I know there are exceptions but sheesh...must of sucked living in Korea.

BTW, payment for marriage to obtain a green card is a cottage industry for American FIlipinos and the girls usually marry American Born FIlipinos as a "fabor" to the pamily for a fee of 20K or less. Of all the adjustment of status interviews that I have done with FIlipinos, I would say 2/3 were sham marriages but I never had enough evidence to fire them as clients and I had some evidence that I couldnt disclose because of the attorney client privilege. Funny because when you ask the agents that set up these deals how they feel about it...they think they are modern day heroes who are merely helping FIlipinos....total bullshit.

Cato, I got the same vibe. Kind of like watching those tires in front of auto shops.

Now Blazers, for years you raised a lot of negative points about anal sex, until you finally took the plunge earlier this year (or was it last year) and now you're an advocate of it. I split my time between Korea and Japan and I consider Korean women far superior to Japanese women. I've done plenty of Thai women and probably over a hundred LBFMs, who make up a large percentage of the available poon tang on Okinawa and in spots thoughout the Middle East. Throw in the Vietnemese and Chinese girls (from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland), one Malay girl and totally hot Burmese girl, and I've pretty much had the full Asian sampler platter - a lot of times.

My personal thoughts? I always liked the Korean girls just because of their low maintenance and the fact that, here in Virginia, we have about 60,000 of the them and if you date a girl for a few months and you don't want to get married, she understands and refers you to a friend, who you can then bang for several months until you decide you don't want to get married, then she refers you to a friend, and the great cycle of pussy-getting life continues. 10 minutes from my house, here in the US.

Now, agnostically, I rank Thai women first, followed by that hot Burmese girl, then Korean women, then girls from Hong Kong, then the LBFMs, then the Malay girl, then the rest of the Chinese girls then the bow-legged, snaggle-toothed Japanese girls.

So, why don't you lay off knocking the Korean women and work on knobbing a few instead. Yeah, they are quiet and not very passionate, but then again you can fuck them in the ass and they won't complain

That's the deal, Cato. You make me your quality control inspector, and I show you how to fold T-shirts.

(PS: Remember to keep 'em face up, and it works for dress shirts too. It's really too fucking cool for words.)
