I lived abroad, in the UK and France, and I never noticed much difference. Women in the US would approach me though, all I had to do was be a little social. Maybe you give off a bad vibe which foreign women ignore because they ascribe to your foreignness?

The UK and France are basically the same as the US, sorry I forgot to mention that. I spent a lot of time in Switzerland and found the women to be more or less the same as American and Canadian women. If you truly want the experience you have to go further east, or south. And it isn't the vibe I give off, unless said vibe is related to my introversion. You see its easier for girls to approach an extroverted guy who puts himself out there, but guys like me who are introverted dont do that. As I said this isn't a weakness, it is just a difference in social interaction, however in the Western dating climate it is very extrovert oriented (as I said), outgoing guys can ask out as many girls as they want because its one of their natural abilities, similarly extroverted guys get more attention from women who feel more comfortable around a guy that puts himself out there. As I said though, this is unique to the west, in other countries with more introverted cultures the women
are completely accommodating to your personality. In the US women view introversion as a negative "oh that guy can't approach me he is weak" or "oh that guy doesn't talk much, I dont want to approach him" or something along those lines. They never take into account the fact that maybe this guy likes being introverted, such as myself, and maybe he isn't weak, but just content with the way he is. One of the major differences between foreign women and Western women is the ability to spot potential. Western women take a guy and view him for what he is, how he acts, looks, etc. Foreign women take a guy for what he could be, that could mean he could be rich, or he could be a model, maybe they look at an introverted guy and say "he could be a great guy if I talk to him", but Western women dont have these thoughts cross their minds as much. Just watch an entire season of an Asian drama and you will see the differences.
I have no problem approaching women but my lord is it hard to respect them. You think women can sit back and be hit on, ok. But thats entitlement and the only people in society that I find it acceptable to be entitled are children. If an adult is its hard. Hence why guys pump and dump, you just can't respect a childish entitled woman.
Women also reap what they sow. They expect a good looking, intelligent guy that is charming but that charm they've worked on will also get many other women, what do they offer other than their body? not much... A woman that does is not wasting her time "sitting back waiting to be hit on" I'll tell you that much.
Great take gave me something to think about. Sadly in my case if I don't approach then sooner or later a girl I do not find attractive will approach me. As nice as it feels to be approached it still feels bad that the girls I want don't want me.
I haven't been to Russia but I've met many Russian girls and in my experience they're way more entitled than American girls.
Russia is like that because the ratio of women to men in Russia is very high. In other words, there's a bunch of women for any single man, due to WWII bringing the male population down and all the brawling/drinking that men engage in.
What this means is men are actually sought after if the girl wants to marry/have a child, which is something that's not seen anywhere else in the world, unless anyone can correct me on this.
I noticed that in both Europe and Canada, girls were MUCH more likely to approach me than in the states! And they don't even have to be drunk, which seems to be the case here.
I find some introverts can have good convos but just naturally shy. Not full of pride like you. I would ignore you and think your already good to be on your own than be with a girl.
wow, ridiculous, no introverts like me have it hard, has nothing to do with being shy, everytime I come across a girl that i ask out, they have a face of disgust, i don't want to waste my time, so why waste theirs?
@lacorine197 this has got nothing to do you. I dont know you, so stop acting like a brat. Its not my fucking problem that you are an introvert. I have a right to my opinion.
Please dont explain to me why you dont care about the girls. You are a designed hermit for life. people like you should stop fucking littering in my thread
your an immature ass person really, just cause someone don't share the same opinion as you you go and insult people, i pray for the person who has to deal with your shitty ass attitude
It is not my fucking problem you are lonely and horny. Stop telling me why you don't want to approach girls. my opinion is addressed to the take owner. get professional help, if you hate the world.
I had to get used to rejection before I started asking women out. Don't expect anything but if something good comes of it, all the better. Plus you will have tried.

I can't speak for all men, but when faced with a black woman who accuses me of just having a stronger desire for a particular race, well let's just say I don't need a white person, but I certainly don't want you. Lol
"Be a man and approach the girl! " Being a man is about approaching the girl? People never stop surprising me... what do you know about manhood, lady? Stick to yourself...

Shyness is a habit and reaction to anxiety. It is not who you are.
Being an introvert is 'who someone is' but introverts need not be shy. I know more shy extroverts than introverts.
Attractive 17-27 year old women can sit back and wait to be hit on.
Nobody else can or should.
Says who?

Perhaps a change of scenery is what I need.

You are so delusional. I dont know you. So how can my opinion apply to you?

That second picture though :o
Seems like someone will end up chopped to pieces in a freezer :o
I thought the exact same thing when I saw it, that was added by the GAG admins so I have no part in the shenanigans that girl might pull.
Let’s face it, we’re all chicken about being told someone has a girlfriend or being rejected. That’s the reason I don’t talk to guys at all.
I had to get used to rejection before I started asking women out. Don't expect anything but if something good comes of it, all the better. Plus you will have tried.
@Trollfather I am less embarrassed by the guy’s reaction and more worried about getting rejected in front of others
So you need to have money and be able to travel abroad? Great.

best quote I've read all day.
Good take!
But i have a question, what are some signs you've te received from girls that they want to talk to you?
So if you can't talk to women... Move to russia, got it, thanks
Black women are open to initiate first. But men just have to have their white women.
I can't speak for all men, but when faced with a black woman who accuses me of just having a stronger desire for a particular race, well let's just say I don't need a white person, but I certainly don't want you. Lol
No they're not. I'm black and believe me , they expect to be approached just like women of other races expect to be approached
@EvilPimp a lot of them do from what I see
Wish I could simply escape and move out of the country. Great perspective though. Too bad the solution isn't easily accessible.
I'm introverted too but I prefer the guy to make a the move, guess that's why it never works out for me with shy guys
Be a man and approach the girl!
I could say the same thing. "Grow some ovaries".
"Be a man and approach the girl! " Being a man is about approaching the girl? People never stop surprising me... what do you know about manhood, lady? Stick to yourself...
@DBAOracle Right? Trying to tell a man how to be a man? like Tf? are you a man?
@Kirah Lmao.
The best mytake i have seen on here but women will get defensive about it.
I believe dating women from Europe is a better experience than American women.
So, the solution is the same... for all of us shy and introverted guys - We should all go to Russia?
That's why I believe in the quote, "women are born, men are made"
Yeh, I would love to go to Russia for a while but can't afford it and I don't know the language.
Sorry, Wrong Question.
This is a great mytake and I totally agree.
Because I'm very introverted myself and and have exactly the same problem.
