    How long are you going to :wallbang: They just don't get it.
    In post after post, it is pretty much repeating the same thing.

    In their opinions, if someone gets offended or hurt by what you might say, it's their problem not yours. They should grow some balls or get a thicker skin etc.
    You are just wasting your time with this one enmos.

    Based on my personal experience, actually I guess it is a multicultural misunderstanding.

    In my class I have some latin american friends. They are from Brazil, Chile, Argentina,
    and Mexico. Most of them are pretty straight talking and loud, what some
    people consider rude could be seen as normal for them.

    In my former office which is a Japan company, if we make eye contact during
    meeting, it is consider as rude. So, when I had to do presentation in front of
    them, I tried not to look at one Japanese person more than 3 consecutive
    seconds

    . Nobody also look at me, they are either look at my slide or at
    their own notes.

    When more than one culture meet, I think people should adapt and increase
    the level of tolerance... We should be a bit more tolerant to Varda, and Varda
    should be a bit careful to us, lol

    I see alot more and more white guys where I live with Asian women. Granted they aren't "hot" like what you are looking for.

    awwwwwwwwwwww Well where I live I can see finding a "nice" girl isn't an easy task. There are a hell of alot of snouty bitches, more interested in what car you drive than what kind of person you might be.

    That's the problem with getting attached to someone online. Usually they don't live anywhere remotely close or turn out to be married

    It's so much easier for women. You go out somewhere and men just come up to you. Then you can decide if you want to talk further with someone, especially if you are shy like me. I would have a really hard time, if it was on my shoulders to go up and start a conversation with a guy. When I was single though, I did meet a few ppl in person that I had met online.

    got any solutions? I mean my plan is to find a girl online in Russia, talk a year or so, meet in summer, come to like each other...see were it goes, commit to her, meet to live together under one roof, marry her. Heh, what do you think?
