| | I am an expect and am having a hard time dating Aussie guysPage 1 of 1 | It seems really culturally different here as I am an American. I have had a lot of guys flake on me when we are supposed to meet up and I always seem to take a backseat to them hanging out with their friends. I am just curious why this is. If anyone has any advice or tips I may not be aware of I would love to hear them.

Posted: 5/22/2012 4:46:27 PM | How long have you lived here? I'm sure this country isn't THAT culturally different.
Some men are comfortable going out with a married woman and some are not. They change their mind or fear your husband turning up. Some people are into the drug scene and some aren't.
I don't know. If you want to meet people through on line dating you may be better off joining a married person's site so you at least have that in common and less chance of flaking on you. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 7:09:11 PM | Im also American - having lived in Australia just on 5 years now and I can attest to the fact that there are quite a few cultural differences in dating Australian men as opposed to dating American men.......however as I went to post to explain all of this, I had a quick look at the OP's profile
Um - your married...ok for some guys thats not a problem...how you live your life is your business, if you want to cheat on your partner, who am I to judge ? guess you have your reasons but surely you can appreciate as Holly63 said, that for some guys your marital status would be offputting....no sane person would invite more hassles and complications by choice into their lives (or would they ?) and dont kid yourself..whether you chose to have a full on affair or a quick one niter...you are complicating your life...your naive if you think otherwise...do you think these actions will make you happy ?.....................................
And even though you have every rite to write what you have on your profile, its your profile.....its kinda a little scarey dont you think ???, not exactly warm and inviting and lets face it..you do drugs and thats a whole other Pandoras box... could this also be contributing factor as to why you aren't meeting men ?...I feel it has little to do with a mans nationality and more the type of person that you are (true to yourself, well good for you however...morally and socially like it or not, you will be frowned upon for being a druggie and a cheater....sorry, it is what it is ) .....................anyway..............(Pookie steps off soap box)
As Holly also said, there are plenty of sites online who cater specifically for people who are married, or just after a shag, this site may not really suit your needs..... | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 8:55:35 AM | | I appreciate the advice. I think I am going to revamp my profile. My partner and I are in the process of getting divorced and are separated, but I probably need to just act like the divorce is final. Thanks so much for the reply. | |

Posted: 5/24/2012 7:12:11 AM | It will probably be less off-putting to potential dates if, in your About Me section, you correct sharp 'objective' to 'objects'.
So you had a pretty busy first 11 days on here then if you lined up so many flakers that you come asking on the forums about it...? | |

Posted: 5/28/2012 1:29:41 AM | I don't think spellcheck will work very well as it isn't designed for text speak.
I may be wrong here but it won't be the first time nor will it be the last time, so here goes;
if a woman doesn't have sex on the first meet and greet then she is sexually repressed, go figure.
Not all men are looking for the next great sex encounter from a first meet.
I know of several guys on this site who don't care what a woman's profile states, to them the women are fair game and if the woman doesn't put out then we get to read about it in the forums under so many different topics.
I have some women friends, stop laughing at me you old forum timers, that are married, divorced, separated and single that sex hasn't crossed our minds.
My motto is basically this, start as friends and if anything is going to happen then progress slowly. | |

Posted: 5/28/2012 2:07:30 PM | she doesn't understand the culture so this will make it all perfectly clear.
Besides a general cultural exchange, it was also a humourous discussion on the pitfalls of oversimplification and use of cliches when giving advice to people.
The point was that "measure twice, cut once" can be misinterpreted, particularly if you're from a foreign culture. An explanation would have been helpful, but then if you're explaining it in English anyway, why do you need a cliche at all?
Because there is also the perpetual problem of becoming trapped with thinking in cliches... as oversimplified and inflexible as talk-back radio hosts.
And humour is never a bad thing  | |

Posted: 6/5/2012 5:57:05 AM | Well ,personally, I definitely can't understand why you're not getting dates. You seem to be the perfect 'take you home to meet my mum' material.
Have you ever considered that your profile may be a tad off putting? | |
