No, I do not speak Korean

I'm not quite clear on why it's so very disappointing that I am Korean, but do not actually speak Korean.  I was raised by white people in America just like most of you, but I'm still lacking since I don't speak my native tongue.  When you find out someone is German, how often do you immediately throw German phrases at them, then shake your head when they say they don't speak the language.  Also, once I explain that I'm just as American as you are, so I don't understand any Korean, why do people then proceed to go through other activities they believe all Koreans should possess?  Well, can you cook Korean food?  Have you been back there?  Do you know "insert name of Asian stranger here"?  So here is my formal apology.  I am so very sorry that my appearance makes my personality and entire life disappointing for you.  I know you'd love to hear some culturally rich anecdotes, possibly even acted out for you in a traditional kimono, but I'm just another American citizen.  My apologies (hands together, slight head bow).

I'm going to try doing it the opposite this time

I'm not a horrendous looking girl, but I don't ever think I'm the hot one.  I only get hit on when I'm bartending (translation: completely surrounded by booze), so it's pretty easy to remain single.  I also get called terrible, nasty names and get everything from my intelligence to my race to my education insulted on a nightly basis.  Bartending is just as humbling as it is flattering, if you're doing it right.  

I've literally been bartending for over a decade, and a formidable decade at that.  All that drunk attention in my early 20s was as intoxicating as the Jager Bombs that I recall being the "new thing".  I was young and single and dated my bar customers as well as my co-workers.  Now, in my early 30s, the thought of doing that makes me feel dirty and kind of ill.  In my old age, I am aware of that most of my appeal comes from being unattainable.  Once I become attained, I'd lose my appeal.  Isn't being appealing more important than being attained?  

Luckily for me, I don't ever feel tempted to compromise on this.  When you are 32, female, never been married, don't have any kids, and aren't actively looking to get married right away, oddly enough, you are not that much of a catch.  I have been accused of being crazy, high maintenance, barren, frigid, and hard to please.  Another reason I don't feel like I'm missing out by not wanting to date a co-worker or bar customer.  

So to recap, early 20s, dated bar flys and co-workers.  Didn't work out for me that well.  Early 30s, NOT going to date bar flys and co-workers.  I'm choosing appealing over attained.  Of course, I work in a bar and only go to bars I work at...hmm...didn't think this all the way....through...
