lets say Most of the Indians are not comfortable when dealing with the opposite sex. I am also Indian and never feel that way

Thanks for your explanations. Sound as if I should return and experience it a bit on my own

You will defiantly find a lot of Indians going after girls, especially foreigners and they will try to flirt a lot. I mean if they had the chance they would just grab you, but other case if they cant do anything all they do is STARE, like they have never seen a girl before!

Flirting can be done in a wrong way by some, as I would say some do as they would generally interested in you and otherwise you know the obvious reasons!

I was waiting for your post preeti

This is correct that guys stare white girls like anything but why you are not talking about the other set of guys who just pass by without giving any damm to white/black/brown any race (here i am talking about some decent guys)

I think if we put up the bad side of our society then showing the other better part also is our duty.

M_J_82

Erm, I must say I attracted the views of everybody, women, men, kids... but I didn't find it as uncomfortable as being stared at by Latinamerican men... In contrast to Latinamericans, Indians still have kind of respect in that sense.

oh come off it smoothy, no matter where you go a guy in India will always look at a girl in the wrong way, I eat the fact that any man would not look at a girl in a rude way and just look as in general!

other set of guys as in "gay"

just kidding mate...

Yeh more posh the place less the stares.. it really depends what kind of crowd you are sorrounded by..

Couple of otherwise ... most guys would tend to kind of stay away from a female accompnaid with a friend of their as a majority would take offence if one of their friends would eye up their female companion... its that "thing" it doesnt matter if you were a couple of not its considerd to be polite to behave like that... but it really depends what sort of crowd it is you cannot generalise as India is such a diverse country..

Here in North Indian (talking about middle class families) say for instance a family visits your place ... you would have men sitting in the living room having a drink or just a cup of tea and females in one of the bedroom talking about whats going on in the neighborhood.. (not litrally)
All in all you cant really get an exact idea by just exchanging views here on this forum or any other for that matter... You would have to mingle with the local and see it for yourself to get a good idea of the local customs and ways..

Some one please correct me if I am wrong.

Definitely true, it was just to get a veeery rough idea of the whole story Having lived in several countries for a couple of months/ years, I know that living in a country and traveling through a country is not at all the same...

Farce has visited her blog..You should join our IBF detective Gothic_Coder

M_J_82

Hehehehe, nobody ever told me I look Indian

neer001

No, Farce was trying to say that there are many girls in India who looks like you, if you are in the picture above.

You can visit some states like assam, Mizoram, Arunachal pradesh, where you can find girls having similar looks as yours..

M_J_82

If lots of Indian woman look like me or if I look like lots of Indian woman is the same thing... unless I got something wrong But maybe I should just go there hehehe

True up to some extent. You can say water is fluid, but all fluids are not water. Actually some Indians have got the looks of foreigners, and can be easily differentiated among other Indians, but they are too Indians. So if you will have Indian attitude, you can be treated like them.

I think this is your first visit to India. India is full of different cultures, societies, religions, languages etc. having different moral and social values. Flirting has been taken on different senses as well.

If you can specify your view about flirting then it will be easy for us. Mostly major Indian societies do not encourage flirting, they have negative opinion on flirting. But there are also many people who are comfortable with it.

It seems like you are French or spent a lot of of time in France. I can guess you are talking about open relationship. Am I right?

M_J_82

Actually it was my first visit to India and I liked the trip pretty much. It's an amazing country. Really.

And no, I'm (fortunately hehehe) not French, but I've been living here for a couple of years now. I'm half German, half Chinese (Malaysia).

Ermmm, what do you mean?

I cant remember having mentioned something having to do with "open relationships"... What are you talking about exactly?

Thanks, one of them I already read. Interesting.

The kundli stuff seems to be very similar (if not the same) to the horoscope system over here.

People from the North Eastern part of India have strong influence of Tibetan//Chinese/Thai culture due to geological effects. And your picture have a strong resemblance to many of them, possibly because you are also part-Chinese.

You need to spend some more time in this country. May be you would not like to go out of it.
