Is our partner selection shaped by the opposite sex we were exposed to early on?

Georgian men - while might be very sexy, there’s a reason I never wanted to have a relationship with one.

On a nice note, they are not shy, they are assertive, masculine, brave and chivalrous

but some can get a be a bit possessive, too traditional, overly dominant and etc.

In Georgia, you (At least I ) almost never have to approach a man, if he notices your slight hints of flirting or interest, he’ll straightforwardly approach you. You almost never have to do it.

My brother is very open-minded and less traditional, he does often get approached by women. But I was always the one getting approached and didn’t have to learn how to do it myself.

Georgian men can be very intense though and at times, possessive.

I remember, once I was talking to an acquaintance guy and my guy friend approached me (seemingly concerned that I was talking to another “suspicious” man) didn’t leave us alone until the guy left, then hugged me, whispered to me “You are mine.” and kissed my forehead. We were young, maybe 15.

Well, not all of them are that possessive but they have some tendencies.

While Georgian men can be undeniably very passionate, direct, dominant and straightforward, they can be a bit too traditional and sometimes too controlling for my taste, that’s why I always avoided dating them.

They either want to marry directly or to just have a relationship with you and then marry a virgin. Some of them deep down still think if you have sex before marriage, you might not be the best candidate to get married.

I was virgin before 22 but I didn’t want to wait till marriage, I wanted to wait till I was in love and I found Georgian men’s approach to women narrow-minded, thus I never wanted to date them.

I hope my experiences are because we were young and hope, they have learned better. But I think it somehow shaped me to think that all men will be as direct as Georgians were.

I always found Georgian men over controlling and too narrow minded, because my own father and a brother, were much more open-minded and non-controlling to me.
