Are Australians Weird???
This is an honest question-I am new to this forum(immigrated a couple of months back).
I find Aussies weird, kin of strange in an indefinable way-does anyone else feel this way??

Perhaps the Australians find you weird in a strange indefinable way?

Re: Are Australians Weird???
Like I said this is a genuine question. I see the type of replies I am getting are of the "maybe they find you weird" variety. I didnt say I feel superior to Australians-I didnt make fun of the way they dress, I am not even talking about how they relate to me.
I just suspect something is odd about them-for instance I keep suspecting that almost all the men are gay (NOT that I have a problem with that). I feel they lack a moral anchor, there is something missing in them. An emptiness-I don't know.

Re: Are Australians Weird???
I apologise in advance, but I think you have issues. I think you are seeing stuff that isn't there. If you've only been here a couple of months I'm not sure how you decided that they all lack a moral anchor - whatever the hell that is, or how you see it but I guess we're all different and see things differently.
I understand that "weirdness" is highly subjective. I DON"T like people in the UK very much at all, I don't think they set the standards for normative behaviour-I never want to return to the UK, but.....
I find Aussies odd-thats all, Like I say empty, distant, a bit unprincipled
and before I get shouted down I have an Aussie fiance and a fair few Aussie mates.
Its the emptiness, vagueness, they are remote I dunno....

Re: Are Australians Weird???
I doubt I am the first to write such a view on this site. I would appreciate it if the question was taken a bit seriously and instead of replies like 'the problems with you matey"-surely someone percieves things a bit like me and could throw some light.........

Re: Are Australians Weird???
I don't find the Aussies wierd. Even though some of them prefer to wear no shoes
Even though some of them don't understand proper English
Even though they don't eat prawn cocktail flavoured crisps
Apart from that they are normal just like us!!!
