Originally posted by badgersmount blokes view as a Uk bloke IN SOME WAYS I connect with Aussie blokes - for the same reasons - less gel, less wannabe sophistication, better sportsman, sense of humour, less complications, a kind of lookout on life that generally only soldiers have - those who have served in the Armed forces will know what I mean - kind of a real man as apposed to a man wanting to be a real man. (And no amount of talking about it will get you it.) Banter and mateship - corny but true. My middle class peers in the UK seem quite prissy by comparison, whereas I've noticed already that my professional aussie mates seem less feminine etc - they're not ockers though. Aussie blokes are competitive without being competitive whereas especially in London there is always a kind of 'geezer' oneupmanship going on - difficult to explain. I said BEFRIEND BTW :D |
Badge you are starting to come up with some of those commentators bloopers.
"Manage to be competitive without being competitive." |
Originally posted by badgersmount I think that the less overt PC relationship between men and women in Australia actually creates a bloke that is old fashioned whereas in Europe men have become emasculated, there's no middle ground. Mrs B loves the fact that men in Straya overtly perve at her - she says it makes her feel more like a woman!! That reminds me - knew I was going to post this as a subject for all the Sheilas here. She also appreciates the old fashioned courtesy, and once my mate tried to put me right on some minor issue. He was so quick, I didn't get a chance.....;-) He basically chastised me for not opening MrsB's beer fast enough for her...I thought - 'give us a chance you nagging ba'satrd' :-) I just joined the local Rotary club - a load of blokes - great stuff.

The problem British men have is in 3 quarters of the year everyone is covered up. Walk down Bondi Beach on a summers day and the Brits are perving just as much as the Aussies. Us men are the same the world over.

Thanks to Badger and Ceri for the most informative opinions. Badger - I know what you mean about blokes in the forces (being an ex-regular myself) so thats pretty cool. And Ceri - I couldnt agree with you more - you definitely get all sorts wherever you go. LOL

Re: One for the girlies - Oz blokes vs. Brit blokes
Hi There
I'm an aussie girl 1st 22 years there here in UK for 7.5years and would pick a pom every time. I have been totally in love with two pommie blokes. Unfortunately the 1st relationship came to an end after 5 wonderful years. But now I am lucky enough to have found another GEM!!!!! He is coming to Oz with me and I can't wait!!!! |
Originally posted by dotty I have a vision, 'real blokes' on a float, flanno g banger perhaps, those seude work boots, and a hard hat. . As a self confessed fag hag I cant wait to meet some Ozzie queens. In defence of gay men generally though I find them to be attentive, thoughtful and gentlemanly towards women, as a married woman thats all the male attention I need, the fact they'll come shopping with me is just a bonus! (english husband is all of above and more, only falls down on the shopping!) |
Cant beat a british guy i have to say , love to mine to bits , think poms have alot more about them i have to say., not biased or anything you understand
|
the fact they'll come shopping with me is just a bonus! "Oh, its a shirt, that'll do" - "yes dear, you're wearing it to your wedding, maybe you could care just a leeeettle bit what it'll look like!" At least its an improvement on the hideous Hawaiian thing he was threatening to wear ......:rolleyes: My outfit however was chosen by my gay friend, by the time we left M&S he had strewn clothes the entire length of the (ladies) fitting room, the assistant was on valium, he had persuaded an old lady to spend £30 on a new hat, and the store detective gave up trying to work out what stuff we had brought in with us!:D |
Originally posted by Pollyana I agree, much more fun shopping with my gay mates than with my Bloke - he is lovely, but he just doesn't know how to shop!

Much more honest than female friends, though mine attempts to persuade me to purchase Kylie replica dresses, otherwise I trust his judgement! Michaela |
