I have a question, that...you'll probably understand my reasons for posting anonymously once you finish reading.
The local culture is very open and laid back about sexual interest. It's different as hell from my own home, where men who show sexual attraction are viewed as disgusting perverts and assumed to be dangerous, while people don't even fucking think about women having an interest in sex beyond wanting to have children. Some of the posts I've seen here would get everyone involved labeled sexual deviants for the shit they talk about in the open.
My question is, how do people adapt to it? I'm here doing my damn best to keep my mind out of the gutter because I've been taught thinking about anyone you don't want to date like that is disrespectful as hell and fucking creepy, but then I turn around and see people openly asking for hookups or rating each other's asses, and instead of people calling that shit skeevy, they either go along with it or treat it like a funny joke.
I know it's not prudishness, believe-you-fucking-me, my life would be easier if I was just naturally shy or reserved or whatever. It's an extreme form of culture shock, and I wish I didn't end up feeling like a dick constantly over the kinds of mental images I get from both the way people act in public around here and some of the things the prismals hand out as fucking party favors.

I guess I've never really thought about how differently someone would feel if they were approached politely. None of the people who compliment me on my looks have any fucking tact, so it just ends up making me feel like they see me like some kind of walking dakimakura...

I know how frustrating that can be, though. Doing your best to drop hints and get someone's attention, and it just... doesn't work. It hurts. I'm sorry you went through that.
Well if I ever find you around I'll give you a good ol' nonthreatening approach ok? Cause you sound pretty attractive to me, giving all this good advice. I can totally be tactful, and you deserve that.

We're both anonymous, though, so I'm not sure how either of us would know it if we did run into each other.

And then watch out for compliments!
Seriously, though, thank you. I don't know if this will apply to me, but it helps to know someone who feels the same, also sees some things differently.
