Had an Italian friend (as in, from Italy, not someone whose great great great great grandpappy once snorted a line of parmesan) tell me the reason for this.
Italian women are notoriously hard to woo, and will resist all advances to appear “hard to get”
Italian men (As in, actually Italian, not people who think obnoxious behaviour can be excused by far-removed genetics) realise that it’s way easier to try and get their balls emptied chasing slappers called Sharon from Essex
A compounding factor is that (actual) Italian men are used to hard to get women, and their efforts are therefore scaled for such challenge. Never have I seen men try so fucking hard to chat up anything within sight than Italians.
I still vividly remember seeing a bunch of them moving through the nightclub crowd, chatting up women one after the other, failing, immediately moving on to the next one, etc.(One could argue it’s the other way around : Italian women have developed a resilience up to the challenge of the insatiable appetites and relentless advances of Italian men)
Ahh the Boomhauer method.
I was just in Roma last year for two months. I assure you, I had several women hit on me while out and about once I became a common patron of the local bar. I’m 6’, American and only slightly chubby. But that’s all I have going for me in looks, just average. And they could care less that I was American (except one girl). I was still happily (more like blindly) married at the time, so not much happened (divorce was the ex’s ask 3 days after we returned) and was using the bar for good views and language immersion.
You want to know my thoughts on why women there play hard to get: according to a few chats the men are often underemployed or have near zero prospects to be better than above poverty. and according to one woman, a guy she dated just wanted her to cook, clean, and have babies; yep, he just wanted a new mamma with privileges.
So while I was married and my situation unique, I expect woo’ing an Italian woman to be not as hard as you say. I volunteer to go back and test this theory.
Oh, and a slam to my ex. I dedicated 10 years of our much longer marriage to do her family research so she could get her Italian by blood citizenship. That trip was our celebration of obtaining it and to review areas for buying a house. I will now and forever just consider her a Parmesan snorting fake. It was Facebook bragging rights and shit more.
A tad unrelated, but I just want to say sorry about your ex. Hope you’re doing better now.
Seems to be the vibe with most women in these countries with supposed fertility crises,
If married family life didn’t look like such a shit prospect financially, socially, mentally, really in any dimension, far less women would be holding out for obviously more wealthy potential matches like tourists who were able to afford a long distance ticket from another continent and ocean away.
Economist friend of mine has given me multiple rants about how the single biggest indicator of near future fertility trends is housing affordability, baby boom happened when subsidized home financing was backed the most by the government for example.
Hey, I feel you, man. To a crazy degree, in fact: with little difference except swapping out Italy for N. Ireland. 🤷🏼♂️
I mean…this is a uniquely American thing, right? Nowhere else is it so common to behave this way, right? Glorifying far flung ancestors for some, really, more adopted identity than anything else.
In all fairness, you could swap out “American” for any colonizer nation…
I’ve spent some time in both countries. Thailand is Thailand for women, too. More so than Italy as far as I can tell.
So they have lady…girls there?
Well, none of the three (four?) times I went to Thailand did I explicitly go for the sex tourism (unless honeymooning [not with a Thai] there counts), but still, I saw a lot of it, and even had my bits groped backstage at a drag show (all in good humor), and I can’t imagine there are many tastes they don’t at least attempt to cater to. At least ten-fifteen years ago. I haven’t been in some time, now.
Wait, do men constantly get inappropriately cat-called in Thailand?
They’re talking about sex tourism.
I thought Thailand was for more… unique tastes, rather then just getting your knob slobbed.
what other tastes?
Ladyboys
Bruh italy is just a fucking awesome place. Let people have their italy
Bruh italy is just a fucking awesome place.
The problem is that Italy is also an awesome fucking place.
I blame Ovid, little snot couldn’t take being told no and wrote a tell all about the best places for exhibitionists to fuck in public, and it was all downhill from there.
So tell me about Thailand.
That’s where lots of people go men and return women. So I’m assuming Italy is also great for GCS for trans men
I dont think that that is the stereotypical thai experience that they are referencing…
