I am an American woman who is spending a year on a work exchange in UK. I am nearly 6 months into this, and I am surprised that no-one has asked me out on a date - in the US people consider me to be quite approachable.
I have gotten to know a handful of guys here, but despite being generally funny and interesting, they do not appear to be in any hurry to ‘snap me up’. I thought that this sort of behavior was mostly associated with Oriental guys, but it seems like the Brits appear to share this characteristic too. The big exception being whenever I go to a bar, the men turn into the most alcohol-powered unbearable loud-mouthed braggarts that you have ever seen, and they cannot seem to keep their eyes off me.
Have British ‘blokes’ been emasculated beyond recognition? Or is this simply part of their general upbringing? Or, do they secretly harbor certain assumptions about American women? I would like to hear both lads and ladies view on this.
