Making Friends in India (Delhi)

Ravibagal · Aug 2nd, 2005, 17:36

Indian males in general perceive White Women as easy lays. Delhi males in my opinion are the worst of the lot followed by Mumbai and the rest. Try and go out with a group of people instead. I often have seen colleagues, friends and aquaintances showing off pictures of them with some white chick and bragging how she seduced him. Its quite a laugh sometimes as the guys were butt ugly and had problems even finding a ugly girlfriend.

If you do decide to go out with any male alone choose a very public place and leave as soon as he starts drinking. Indian men can get very rowdy and aggressive when drunk and you never know what might happen. It is better to be safe than sorry.

However, as a female im running into a few things im not sure of. Hoping to get some feedback from you and know whats ok and whats not.

In my office there is one person(male) who has offered to take me out, shopping, dinner, movie etc. THis is great, except noone else goes. Is this acceptable here? I dont not have an interest in this person for anything other than friendship, but I very much appreciate having someone show me around (shopping alone is a bit boring).

It seems another coworker noticed that we spent time together and asked me about it. In his opinion this is not appropriate and he just wanted me to know. But 10 minutes later, another coworker offered to take me out too... another male coworker.

The ladies dont really want to get out and do things, so these are my only offers to get out and have someone local wtih me.

I am by no means a "hottie" so I certainly dont think i attract googling male attention. I actually feel a bit absurd thinking that thier intentions are anything but hostpitality.

thanks for any words of advice you can offer

For a women, you sure have a low intution level

.
When you started going around with the male collegue , it sent a signal to your other co-workers that you are "available". So, you got an offer within 10 mins. Being beautiful has nothing to do with it. THe fact is we (me included) the Indian males are sexually repressed (damn the gals, who want to preserve their virginity till marraige

).

But that does not necessarily mean that the guy will act funny when alone with you or wanna rape you.. he loves the interaction and unfortunately may have spread the word. So, my advice would be to take all those offers "for going to shop" , flutter ur eyelids and fleece him of some of the money he has, without putting yourself in any compromising situation. In a month or two, he will rectify his earlier assesement and spread the word that you are a "tease"... lol... (that's what Delhi gals do, mostly)...

thanks, i think i have answered my own question.

Oops, sorry WENCH, I didn't read the whole thread before posting my reply... I apologize... yes, it is culturally acceptable for two people , esp, I male and one female to go out. Socially it means that, they are romantically involved though (lol...sorry couldn't resist)..

We don't believe in the concept of "juss-friends" with a gal.
