'Ask Me Anything' featured a 50-year-old man seeking marriage who made a public proposal to find his partner.
On the 17th, on KBS JOY's 'Ask Me Anything', a 50-year-old man from Iksan recalled, "After my first love failed, I met many women, but I feel this life might be over for marriage. My first love was when I was 27 and single since birth at a bowling alley. A woman I didn't know extended her hand to shake mine. She was trying to apply powder or something, but I mistakenly grabbed it."
He continued, "I felt sorry and treated her to a meal. We became friends and then lovers. After three months together, I started thinking about marriage. When I went to ask for her parents' permission, I was working as an English academy instructor at the time, and they didn't seem pleased. To seek their blessing, I even joined the choir. I wrote my apartment address on a part sheet. They came all the way to my house and opposed it. My father slapped me twice."
He even ran away with his girlfriend overnight. The man in distress said, "One day, I received a call from an unknown number. It was my girlfriend's younger uncle. We met as men to discuss marriage permission, but after that, I broke up with my girlfriend. Later, I heard they got married. They were even preparing for pregnancy, but it didn't work out," he said bitterly.
He had several more relationships afterward. "I naturally met a divorced woman 10 years older than me. We cohabited for about a year. Since I looked young and there was a 10-year age gap, she saw me as her son. She was single and unmarried, so she let me go with the wish that I'd meet someone good. At 46, I met someone 18 years younger. We cohabited for three months, but she lacked financial sense. There were also monetary demands, so we broke up. Recently, through an acquaintance's sister, I met a woman. I even gave her flowers the next day, but it didn't work out," he confessed.
In response, Seol Jang-hoon advised, "You're financially prepared, but from our perspective, there are problems. Communication is key. Isn't it important to communicate? You can't help with your dialect, but you still speak like an elderly person. From the opposite sex's standpoint, it's not attractive. Speak more clearly. At 50, you're younger than us. Overall, you seem like a neighborhood headman. Fix yourself up. Get a hair dye job. You're appearing on TV, yet you show up dressed like this."
The man in distress spoke clearly and made his public proposal.
