I am not bitter against a particular gender, but towards their actions, especially if such actions are calculated. I have bad experiences with both genders and have to say the U.S. is just one screwey country, sorry that is how it is.
Growing up in Europe people just behaved totally different, did mostly what was right.
The American men that I have to watch every day are certainly the biggest turnoff any woman could ever wish for, hihi, seriously your feelings are totally normal.
I grew up with men that did the right thing, except some family members. I was able to be friends, real friends with guys with not ever having to worry about my physical or sexual safety, was able to totally count on males in my home country without ever second guessing them.
I also was able to rely on wise men when I was still a silly teenager.......remember a time when just 16 used to have a couple of buddies at work, most of them trustworthy (not all). But one bud I really liked as a teen, worked together with him. I was sixteen, he was married, in his thirties.
One day our whole work group went out to celebrate carneval, got loaded. Remember sitting in the group, favorite bud sitting beside me. We were all drunk as skunks. Then the teen and the bud got a little chummy, the guys around us started to egg us on: come on, go a little further, it is carneval.
But that guy was a great teacher, he showed a young teen girl what is right: he did not want to take advantage of me, the teen and he certainly did not want to hurt the wive he loved at home. So he very gently, despite the fact we were all drunk to a stupor, made it to be understood that he was not that kind of guy and he let me know too that it was unacceptable.
Not before, during, or after did this bud ever treat me with disrespect, always treated me with the highest respect, knew what was right, he had class, what a sweetie. I totally respected that guy even more after he turned down the silly teenager girl.
Looking back to those days I think to myself: that is how it should be, that is really how it should be........
So, I was able to rely on guys to do the right thing for themselves and for me too, a rare chance for a young girl to learn what really matters......
