I'm not western by birth, I just live here.
But I've noticed a trend among western women. They're more a bitch, and a loudmouthed one at that, demanding respect rather than women worthy of respect.
.
As example yesterday I was leaving the bank & held open a door for a woman about my age - mid 30s. Walked right through. No thanks, no smile, nothing. I could've been her slave.
I turned around and said "you're welcome" and her response was "what's your problem".
She was dressed in typical mid-level work clothes. More than likely a receptionist or maybe an admin assistant. Nothing in her hands, no obvious means of being distracted.
.
I give that example because this is how many western women act. Not just towards other women but oftentimes towards men. Comically
a) I probably make three maybe even four times her income as an industry specialist but I assume she thought herself better because I was wearing track pants
&
b) I always say thank you, etc. when talking to others. I never feel obligated or demand respect and for that reason I earn respect from all sorts of people.
