1. [+3,420, -26] ㅋㅋㅋ How are they expecting a civil servant to be making 60 million won in their 20s/30s? Let's not start a gender war over this, media
2. [+1,911, -24] A civil servant making 60 million won ㅠㅠ they're going to have to date someone in their 50s
3. [+944, -67] What 20s/30s men want in a partner is someone with the face of Kim Tae Hee and the body of Jun Ji Hyun. Impossible, right? Just like how there's no man making over 60 million won in his 20s/30s too.
4. [+644, -16] I bet you could count the number of civil servants in their 30s making 60 to 100 million won on one hand ㅎ
5. [+456, -28] We're all going down together, guys. I don't feel lonely because we're all in this together... our generation will single handedly end 2,500 years of Korean history right here.
6. [+225, -1] So women desire 60 to 100 million won in salary but prefer civil servants over specialized professionals? That's like asking for an iced americano warm...
7. [+169, -0] Everyone just needs to stay single
8. [+99, -3] Any civil servant at a marriageable age is only making 30 million won a year, wake up to reality people ㅋㅋ
9. [+69, -5] There exists a large gap in what people desire and what exists in reality. A civil servant in their 20s/30s making 100 million won a year does not exist in real life. And even if such a man did exist, he would not be dating any of you.
10. [+55, -1] If women want a civil servant making 60 to 100 million won a year, their only options are bachelors in their late 50s
11. [+40, -1] My office bookkeeper had super high standards like this and ended up marrying some balding sushi chef
12. [+39, -1] A civil servant making 60 million won a year? So women want to marry a man in his 50s?
