Alt, look at the very first post on page one. It is about dating hatrackers based on what you already know about them on hatrack, not what they look like. Then you come in here, show a picture of yourself looking gorgeous (and sounding like you know it!) hint that not enough people have mentioned you by name, and then you want pictures of other people who express an interest. LOOK at the first post. Then look at your response.
It looks really, really shallow. It's changed the flavor of the whole thread, too. Before I could tolerate it pretty easily. Now I actively dislike it.
But then I'm one of the fragile ego people so it's my fault for continuing to read it. (I'm not being sarcastic.) You haven't done anything wrong, but your percieved attitude towards this topic is something that will annoy or even upset some people.

You know, a girl having a boyfriend has never stopped me... on Hatrack. In real life that's one of the (personal) rules I never broke: if she's either in love with someone or already in a relationship then she's off limits, no matter how much I like her. Ok, ok, getting waaay too serious for this thread!

quote:Though I think you make many excellent points, Enigmatic, this one doesn't apply, really... Jonny lives in Israel, where there are FAR less universities than there are in the US. Basically, you finish high school, go serve in the army (which is mandatory), then go to university with the same people. Yes, you will meet new people, make new friends, and lose touch with some of your school buddies, but definitely not with everyone. There's about three or four decent universities that I can think of in all of Israel.
1) Social groups are starting over. Most people go to college in a different city, state, sometimes country than where they grew up. You might have 1 or 2 HS friends go to the same college as you, but for the most part every college freshman is looking for new friends and relationships.

I have a personal philosophy concerning dating that many have called be bat-crap crazy for, yet others have told me they see a logic in it.
Either way - I don't actively look for dates. I look for friends. My idea is that I'd rather have a few really good friends that stay friends than a lot of dates with people I don't care about, and will probably never think about again.
I like to build a foundation of friendship, and then if it Goes Any Where, then it does, and that's awesome. But if it doesn't, then you still have some pretty great friends.

Well, except for what's been said in this thread I don't really know anything about dating or college in Israel. But if you have a chance to study in another country, for the whole degree or as part of a 1-year study abroad program, go for it. Partly because it's a great experience but also for a general principle to help with your collegiate dating: Foreigners are hot.
As soon as you travel to a different country you become more exotic, interesting, and alluring than you were at home. Suddenly you'll have a sexy accent. Obviously that's not going to make you attractive to everyone in the country you're visiting, but it will make you attractive to enough that you'll have an easier time getting dates. I've discussed this principle with enough exchange students both to and from here that I have a lot of faith in it.

quote:I thought about putting in an addendum along these lines, but decided to leave current politics out of it. The principle still applies, the current prevailing attitudes may just be a dampening factor. Even if people don't like what Americans are doing, if they meet one who's travelling abroad there's a good chance they'd want to talk to him/her and ask questions about what it's really like here, etc. That's a great chance to take a stand against war and imperialism to show all sensitive and caring you are. wink-wink.

You'll notice you can count them because you can recognize them. They're the ones wearing tshirts with big slogans and pictures, sweatpants and baseball caps.

quote:I agree with both those statements. We get a lot of stereotypical (loud, baseballcap&- trackpantswearing) American tourists here, and personally I find them the most annoying of any tourists. That's not to say that I'm one of those people who get irritated by tourists just because they're tourists; in general they're fine, but I certainly find the obnoxious American ones far more annoying than any other kind, even other annoying kinds. If you know what I mean.
Tourists acting like stereotypical tourists are not sexy. Students studying abroad or people visiting who are actually interested in the country's culture, are.
