All to say, I was scoping out the “scenery” as soon as the wheels touched the ground, i.e., I was the perfect candidate for Tinder in Korea. Because the relationship was such shit, I was really looking forward to casually dating and igniting the feminine sexual spark I had lost (lol?).
Instead of dealing with the awkward run-ins, I hopped on a plane and got the hell out of there. I had just gotten out of a messy relationship that ended in an eye-roll kind of way and wanted to escape the small town I was living in. I wanted to be fully equipped and ready for what I was about to walk into. Unfortunately, nothing I watched could have prepared me for what I experienced. “Korean Tinder Horror Stories” was a frequent YouTube search of mine. I was curious about the dating pool and wasn’t sure if dating apps were even used there. Before I left the States for South Korea, I tirelessly researched “Tinder In Korea.” I was newly single and wanted to make the most of my experience.
