Re: Are Aussie blokes a bit dull?
I wonder how many of the no voters are wives of Aussie men?
Just a thought..... |

More than a hint of truth there,i'm afraid. Always found generally a poor relationship across the gender divide.(bit of a cliche,i know)
Things have improved over the years somewhat.....but overall yes a little over inhibited with the emotional side and as you say tending at times to be a little dull, on the conversational side at any rate. Last time I saw that was in country NSW 8 or so years ago ... |

Just a thought..... Here's my theory. If you're a little bit boring, then you'll meet a little bit boring people. If you're not, you probably won't. If you're meeting a profusion of Australian men who you'd put into the category of 'boring', then my suggestion would be that you'd have to ask yourself why. Why are you attracting these people? Amongst a quick scan of my male Aussie friends, I have.. an ex ABC producer, a film maker, a writer, several small business owners, an ex university lecturer, a web design specialist, a graphic designer, a couple of cafe owners, a bar tender at the local club, another famous writer and published author, several photographers, a photo-journalist, a DJ, a couple of musicians, a computer analyst, a gardener... At my wedding in March, to my Aussie husband, my house was full of amazing, beautiful, intelligent and real people. Sure I have met some dull people. Dull people all over the world, and I would say that I have a dull female friend... but that's ok because it's not for her sparkling intellect that I love her for. Not everyone has to be amazingly witty or intelligent. Everyone has something to offer. What I find most excruciating is the people who move here and have the stupidity to slag off the people that live around them. Don't like Australian men? Don't live here. Don't like dull people? Stop attracting them. It's YOU, not them! Of course, this could all be a cover for your repressed homosexuality. If that's the case, I hope you come out of your closet soon. |

Why are you attracting these people? Unfortunately one tends to have to deal with trades persons, shop assistants and the like....one of the pitfalls of living in the colonies I suppose |

They doff their cap, perform work and present an invoice surely... I sometimes wonder what the tradesmen of the forum think about all this... Other poster - as for dull Australians outnumbering interesting Australians, I'd have to agree this would be expected, you know, it's the triangle thing. |

Are you still annoyed cos I said taking multi vitamins is neurotic behaviour? And so far 2 of the 2 no responders that have fessed up have done nothing to prove me wrong.:D |
