Perhaps the male/aussie female dynamic is different. My accent is certainly popular with the Aussie male but an annoyance to the women.[/QUOTE]

maybe something to do with the red bra and blue pants u wear ????

I find Australian women to be the unfriendliest I've ever had the misfortune to meet. [/QUOTE]

Another urban myth perhaps?Coming from a male perspective found this to be sort of true..being unfriendly..but really more than they make little effort to meet half way...and of course a lot are simplistic and superficial to boot.

I find most Australian women very friendly to me. In Sydney and here on the coast. Brisbane I found them very unfriendly where I lived (Brookfield) until you knew them then they were ok. At work they were all quite friendly.

I find them just a bit strange though, they dont get my humour usually. All very nice but not really fun. My best friend though here is Australian and we have got used to each other.

Aah, that's the trump card, 1 out of 20 odd million Aussies agrees so it must be true
