if a guys sees good looking girl on the beach, just in bikini, he lookes at her.
doesnt matter if he is a "creep" or a "handsome lawyer from a soap opera".
thats the part of being a man.
you look at girls.
its very vancouverian concept that creeps cant look and those "who we want to look at as" can.
lol.
girls in van have double standarts, "i rule u drule" kind of a thing.
i deside who can look at me, when i am at a beach.
and i deside if he is a freak or not.
lol.
you gals should go for a year trip around europe.

yeah, blame it on asians...
what about that vancouver if it comes to european categories, is a small town, and people here behave like small town folks.
especially gals.
the growth of chinese population is a thing of last 20 years.

yes here in north america, it is more about image. when i went to europe, and being a big but still a cutie gal.. men would approach and say that i am beautiful etc.. it was a great feeling being over there to know that men who were attracted to me would say so.. they were very open about it and taught me the body is beautiful in all shapes and sizes. romancing you mind, body and spirit... yeahhhh baby


i found the experience one i will always remember. over here you if you compliment someone, 9 times out of 10 they are thinking you are a creep.. sad really

nicely said, most of people looking at or approaching someone with small talk dont have bad intentions.
bad intentions start when people are called creepes, weirdos and freaks, and when there are girls that deside that there are guys that "they can be checked out by" and there are guys "shouldnt look at them".
lol.

Onea the main reasons women avoid eye contact or smiling is theres just too many creepy guys out there that take either as a sign of flirtation & strike up a convo ... Some ( not saying all) don't understand the difference of being friendly but not being interested in any way shape or form....And irritatingly follow and for women travelling alone can be intimidating... Unfortunately can be a rather uncomfortable position to tell someone to piss off because they just don't get the hint...lol i'm always up for it lol so grin usually at everybody .... but is Sometimes easier to avoid unwanted attention right from the get go...

girls in North America are too stuck up for sure. Europe is a much better scene, girls are generally much better looking, nice bodies, more fashionable, friendly, genuine and approachable. Also, like i said much much better looking. we are all loosing out here. I just came back from Europe and I'm completely depressed by the scene here.

Vancouver? Haha I lived in Vancouver, Calagary too...Same stuff here and everywhere in North America....more or less the same shit.
I am from Europe too. You have to understand here is different story since colonial times.....women want everything. You can't really approach women on the streets or wherever...its just a stupid myth. The only reason they like it though its because its improving their "EGO". Its like they feel still desirable, nothing more.
Its not for you, its for them.

In order to by-pass that situation you have to get out from the "stranger-bubble" situation and that's f-king hard, endless work. Wanna do it? Good Luck !

Its unbelievable but I still have women back home...no matter how long I am away from my "teritorial waters" the fish for me is still back home. When I go home I can give a call and I can meet an old gf if she is available or just go and find another one. Period. I don't need to prove anything..positive or negative. If they want to f-k they will f-k. Period. Also I am in contact with my women back home on a daily basis on Yahoo, no problem on that.
Here you have to bring the Moon from the sky for them...and still not enough.

Its unbelievabla how in a capitalist country people are so affraid of the future and how strongly they feel insecure. Incerdible ! A relationship here its a comodity, you need to pay for it in a way or another.

So want a women ? Well try in a different place. Or make lots of money...but lots and then money will bring it to tha table....But if you have money you may want ...more. !! Hihihi !!!
I am not interested at all in North American Women. Its a turn off. Please feel free to have them all.

Vancouver has lost its social cohesion.
There are a number of obvious reasons for this, needn't get into them here.

I was born here but I've made plans to move away because of it.
I am friendly and will make eye contact with males, I'll smile, I'll say hi.
They look through you like you're not even there. You become invisible. If a man actually smiles at you in this city, it's a miracle. Sorry if that came across as negative, but it's my experience. I'll go as far as smiling or saying hello, but I'm not going to chase a man. Sorry, the pursuit is still a man's job. But I'm just traditional I guess.

Good luck, fishies.

Shouldn't specific one city for being like that. I live close to Toronto and go downtown quite often. I can say the same thing, but then again its just may be the people that I run into on that day. I was in Vancouver a few years ago for about 4 days, and from my experience, the people there were friendly. Most that most as "big cities" go, its all about the hustle & bustle, beating rush hour, getting to an appointment, rushing to a meeting. So more stress, less time being civil.

As a photographer I had some outrageously open and engaged contacts with Vancouver women. Probably the best out of 24 countries. On a par with Sydney, Stockholm. In terms of friendliness.

Once you break through the ice of a foreign culture, they become very open.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wholeheartedly agree. People living in big cities (and Vancouver has grown up to be one, much to the chagrin of some) tend to be less personal and less intimate, that's just the way it is. And yeah, by and large, Vancouverites are still generally very friendly. When I hold doors for strangers, most of them will cheerfully acknowledge; and when I smile and make small talks, they do respond in kind.


you gals should go for a year trip around europe.


I realize that the OP has long left the scene, but I find his Euro-arrogance rather off putting. Vancouver is not Europe, so why should the women here oblige to his Eurocentric standards?

People over here on the Island are just more friendly especially here in Duncan.... Many of the larger cities have snotty attitudes, Victoria seems to be popular for that and my ex claims its mainly because it is a city that caters to the higher incomes and they tend to look down on the average person. I tend to believe him, after spending a summer there.
