Had an Italian friend (as in, from Italy, not someone whose great great great great grandpappy once snorted a line of parmesan) tell me the reason for this.
Italian women are notoriously hard to woo, and will resist all advances to appear "hard to get"
Italian men (As in, actually Italian, not people who think obnoxious behaviour can be excused by far-removed genetics) realise that it's way easier to try and get their balls emptied chasing slappers called Sharon from Essex
A compounding factor is that (actual) Italian men are used to hard to get women, and their efforts are therefore scaled for such challenge.
Never have I seen men try so fucking hard to chat up anything within sight than Italians.
I still vividly remember seeing a bunch of them moving through the nightclub crowd, chatting up women one after the other, failing, immediately moving on to the next one, etc.
(One could argue it's the other way around : Italian women have developed a resilience up to the challenge of the insatiable appetites and relentless advances of Italian men)
I went to Italy twice as a teenager with my soccer team. We were in a fresh air market in Herculaneum? I think and nearby traffic was stopped. We were all together, wearing our uniforms with a USA badge and the amount of young women who literally crawled out of stationary vehicles to come talk to us was mind blowing. It was heaven. Spanish steps when i was 16 was the closest thing this country bumpkin had been to heaven at that time in my life.
Literally crawled? 🤨
You know how the front seats have to push really far forward in a 2 door sedan for those back passengers to get out? Ever see someone try to get out faster than the person in the front seat can allow? Wiggle? Squeeze? Crawl? I dunno.
Out of stationary vehicles. It would've been even more impressive if they'd literally crawled out of moving vehicles.
Lived something maybe similar in south of France in the nineties.
I stayed though :-D
I was just in Roma last year for two months. I assure you, I had several women hit on me while out and about once I became a common patron of the local bar. I’m 6’, American and only slightly chubby. But that’s all I have going for me in looks, just average. And they could care less that I was American (except one girl). I was still happily (more like blindly) married at the time, so not much happened (divorce was the ex’s ask 3 days after we returned) and was using the bar for good views and language immersion.
You want to know my thoughts on why women there play hard to get: according to a few chats the men are often underemployed or have near zero prospects to be better than above poverty. and according to one woman, a guy she dated just wanted her to cook, clean, and have babies; yep, he just wanted a new mamma with privileges.
So while I was married and my situation unique, I expect woo’ing an Italian woman to be not as hard as you say. I volunteer to go back and test this theory.
Oh, and a slam to my ex. I dedicated 10 years of our much longer marriage to do her family research so she could get her Italian by blood citizenship. That trip was our celebration of obtaining it and to review areas for buying a house. I will now and forever just consider her a Parmesan snorting fake. It was Facebook bragging rights and shit more.
Seems to be the vibe with most women in these countries with supposed fertility crises,
If married family life didn't look like such a shit prospect financially, socially, mentally, really in any dimension, far less women would be holding out for obviously more wealthy potential matches like tourists who were able to afford a long distance ticket from another continent and ocean away.
Economist friend of mine has given me multiple rants about how the single biggest indicator of near future fertility trends is housing affordability, baby boom happened when subsidized home financing was backed the most by the government for example.
A tad unrelated, but I just want to say sorry about your ex. Hope you're doing better now.
Hey, I feel you, man. To a crazy degree, in fact: with little difference except swapping out Italy for N. Ireland. 🤷🏼♂️
It is often a little depressing for Italian women when they move to Northern Europe, because the lack of people aggressively hitting on them makes them feel unattractive.
By "agressive hitting on them" are we talking about catcalling or just men giving them compliments?
Wait, do men constantly get inappropriately cat-called in Thailand?
They're talking about sex tourism.
In a sense, yeah?
I saw a video of a trans escort walking around telling guys she'll give them the D and pay them for it.
Not my bag, but 500 baht is 500 baht.
I'd LOVE if you found that video but I suspect you can't.
It was on reddit, but yeah. If you search her "thailand i fuck your ass", its not going to be on the top of the list.
I remember that one, it was a dude walking and interviewing people. I won’t forget the “I fuck your ass”
Haha yea. It's pretty great.
"Hey you're sexy"
"Haha thank you but I'm meeting a friend"
Never been to a red-light district?
Bruh italy is just a fucking awesome place. Let people have their italy
Bruh italy is just a fucking awesome place.
The problem is that Italy is also an awesome fucking place.
I don't see how this constitutes a problem.
I thought Thailand was for more.... unique tastes, rather then just getting your knob slobbed.
So tell me about Thailand.
Lots of pedophiles go to rape kids. It's not the thing about transitioning. Although I think the OP was more referring to the general idea of sex tourism, not so much the specifics with Thailand.
Transitioning?
The other reply was talking about people getting gender confirmation surgery in Thailand.
I've spent some time in both countries. Thailand is Thailand for women, too. More so than Italy as far as I can tell.
