So, I was chatting to this Hungarian guy called Lazlo at the weekend.
He was a nice enough guy, broken English, looked a little like Kurt Cobain, pre-suicide though, obvs.
Anyway, this guy was complaining that English girls weren't giving him any game, those weren't his words, but I saw him very much as the Rivers Cuomo type.
His tactic appeared to be standard practice in his native Hungary, I shall outline it thus:
1) Ask a girl out
2) If she refuses ask her out again
3) See 2)
4) See 2) and 3)
5) See 2), 3) and 4)
6) Repeat ad infinitum
Now, my friend (an actual real life English girl) and I were trying to explain to him that this was probably a little scary and possibly borderline illegal, but he was having none of it.
In Hungary dating is war, a bitter, bloody WAR OF ATTRITION where no quarter is given and you never back down, even in the face of utter disinterest.
So, women of DiS, does any of this tally with your experience of foreign men? Were they relentless, did they not take no for an answer or.......
Were they sweet, lovely and basically > British types?
Answers below:
A drunk Scottish man rammed his tounge down my throat
in Camden once. Is this the place to share?
*(pre-emptive) penis
you want to ram your tongue down our throats?
So far this thread is a fucking sausage fest!
Damn you both.
Some people only read
what they want to read
he so wants you
i do
knew it!!
I apologise on the behalf of Scotland.
He probably just missed your arsehole.
i wouldn't confine it to 'foreign' men
in all fairness.
Elaborate..........
I want examples, comparisons, piecharts and if possible a Powerpoint presentation.
So do I, now.
i'll be happy with a pie
But
why?
for giggles, mostly
Well this is just GREAT.....
4 guys and only 1 'lady' who gave a pretty vague answer then fucked off.
'lady'
in parentheses. are you implying that i'm not?
your username suggests you are a 'girl', not a 'lady'
Do you pass the port to the left?
I don't drink port.
Yes, but if you did.......
Actually, that alone rules you out. You are confined to 'woman' status.
i'm confused
is a port drinker by definition a man, or can a female consumer of port be a lady?
It's a unisex drink.......
MaryAnn doesn't know whether to pass it to the left or the right though, thereby showing herself to be unfit for society functions.
nor do i
but i can drink a whole lot of it
That's because you're a viking wench
wenches > ladies
is anyone going to disagree with that?
Ah -
not so! This is where I would pass the port to my left, Alex. IF I was a port drinker, which I'm not. And for this reason, I stick to dry white wine for any society function that I attend.
What if you were eating red meat?
I have no idea.
Why would I know this? The passing the port conversation normally lasts about 2 minutes around the table - and is less funny each time. I find it obligatory to do some kind of corporate chuckle each time. I hate it. I can be a lady when necessary, but it's just not my style. It's not much fun, to be honest.
*YAWN*
(what's this all about then)
Also -
I didn't fuck off. I fell asleep.
Narcolepsy much?
I'm trying to cut down
me too
it's becoming an embarrassing habit
give the details then!
im sure in the 'old days'
foreign men were quite exotic and the stuff that cheap romantic fiction/soft porn was made of. but i think these days their persistency comes across as desperate. and thats not attractive.
yeah cause
obviously all men who are not british behave in the exact same manner.
Really?
They should really put that in the travel guides then
i know
it would save us women a lot of time
i would contribute
but seeing as i myself am a foreigner i don't know if my opinion would be very valid in this specific context
i just LOVE
sweeping generalisations :)
they do make life a lot easier
Stereotypes are a real time saver
i kind of think.. british boys do the same thing.
sometimes they just don't bloody GIVE UP. ARghhhhhhh take a hint.
He's right
Dating is just like The Western Front.
it's All Quiet on the Western Front for me
my experience
ok, i'm myself a foreigner, but i've only ever had bad experience with Albanian guys. the last one sometimes came into the shop i work in and now he is back in albania and can't get a visa to come back to the uk. he tries to phone me at work all the time although i've told him i'm not interested and now always put the phone down as soon as i know it's him.
but both my hungarian mates are lovely and it's news to me that dating is war in hungary. i'll go to the library now and question one of them about that.
and in general i go for the north european types... british or scandinavian...
don't bother with either
yeah
that's what i'm starting to think at the moment too...
When I was waiting for my friend by some toilets in a club:
Japanese guy:You are very beautiful, may I kiss you on the cheek?
Me:Um, no.
Japanese guy kisses me on the cheek anyways and runs away.
I have also been groped on the train by a japanese guy, it was horrible.
What a hero.
What a gentleman.
The second guy sounds less fun and more weird.
It was so horrid.
The train was very busy and he kept trying to grab my hand and I could move away from him. He wasn't even looking at me when he was doing it. I turned around and he started touching my bottom. I had to go to work after this and didn't have anyone to tell about it all day.
:(
Apart from that, was Japan nice?
I'm still here, home in two weeks.
It is badass here.
my mate was travelling in egypt with her other mate.
and she was offered 3 camels by a local, if she 'gave' her mate to him.
only 3?
pffft.
yeah i know.
she would have said yes if they'd upped it to 5.
i mean honestly. tight bastard.
erm
creepy men are almost always foreign.
a creepy foreign man asked me to go to a pub with him and when i told him i was underage, he asked for a photo of me. another time, i got chased for a "cuddle" outside my school by a creepy foreign man.
i swear i'm not racist.
lol
i went to the south of france to visit a friend with huge breasts and a french man openly wanked whilst staring at them when we were on a bus.
^ im not actually sure
what conclusion i wanted to draw by telling that story
I was chased by a middle aged BRITISH man, at 3 in the morning... He was wanking as he chased me.
He managed to corner me and my friend in a doorway, and kept wanking infront of us. My friend swung her handbag at him in fury and practically knocked the fucker out.
i was really disturbed by this encounter.
but i'm australian.
so i guess he was foreign to me. so the theory still works.
thats not really perseverence
more outright sexual assault/indecent exposure...
yeah i was responding to tuppence's post really,
not to the whole 'perseverance' thing as such.
i digress...
Don't want to generalise/stereotype,
but in my experience english guys tend to take no for an answer (unless they're obviously really drunk) and the only guys who've ever been really creepy (such as following me down the bloody road and stuff) have been foreign. Alot of english boys seem to be a bit more timid, and I've only ever been approached by english guys on a night out, whereas foreign guys seem to be more confident in doing things like approaching girls in the supermarket...
this is probably
to a large extent because of said foreigners' ideas of stereotypical western girls though.
Maybe,
but I don't look anything like those 'stereotypical western girls', and never have done!
well maybe not
but you ARE a western girl, no?
Yeah...
i'm just saying that
in the same way that it's easy for us to see all "foreign men" as one group, w're just as easily classifiable as one group of "western girls", and both groups inevitably have certain stereotypes associated with them.
well the german guy who stalked me at work...
he took "no, sorry i'm busy for the next two weeks" very well.
and my other experience was so-so, meh.
oh and getting followed home by some guy at oktoberfest.
that was upsetting 'cause i was on my own.
i had to get a group of italians to help me out.
