Thanks! I wholeheartedly agree on the preconception theory. In fact, I've been told AMerican womyn are deemed easy, as well as pushy by English folk. "Hah!", I said, "It's just that we can't resist the accent!" But seriously, it's the little differences between our cultures that take time to adjust to. And maybe you are right about the "wrong guys". I WAS hanging out at Trash and LA2 in london. ha ha ha... miss misa Vals Basement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You Wrote ------------------------------ Date: 9 Nov 99 11:01:51 MST From: MISA CHALLINGSWORTH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Re: End of debate] This whole discussion just cracks me up...Both times I've been to England,I've found that the gentlemen there were unusually shy and didn't pick up on my flirting techniques at all. Most of them can really shake it, sure. But I ended up dancing with more American boys! is there something I'm missing here? Are our cultures flirting techniques that different? miss misa.... ------------------------ Maybe your just taking to the wrong guys, or maybe they're part of the "I don't like myself, so why should anybody else, thats why hang around in an easily identifiable group" syndrome. Also, as it has been shown on this list on countless occasions, there are always preconceptions that both Brits and Yanks seem to have about each other, and this could make them stand off. It could also be that your a complete moose, but I refuse to believe that. So in a gesture of international diplomacy, as a red blooded Brit, I for one would be more than happy to check out your flirting technique, and give you my honest opionion.
