[QUOTE=Cervaise] Sorry, you’re SOL. Persian girls have psychic powers. That’s what sets them apart; they’re kinda unique that way. She knows you just want to work her sweet Farsi meat-garden with your man-plough, and she’s having fun playing with you. On the other hand, if you can fill your mind with thoughts of her body draped in endless chains of gold finery, you might be able to distract her, and thus have a shot at spearing that bitch. Give it a try and report back. [/QUOTE] I laughed out loud at this, a sure sign that I was surprised. Bravo. ---

[QUOTE=liberty3701] It’s not about _talking to_ her. It’s about thinking of her, referring to her like she was a human being and not a piece of ass. [/QUOTE] An _engaged_ piece of ass who, since she has failed to surrender the pink, must be wearing a cultural chastity belt that the OP’er will be able to spring as soon as he discovers that super-secret thing that makes Persian wimmens rip off their panties. :rolleyes: ---

**Sunspace, Dante’s** a good guy. He was very much being a tad sarcastic there. **Grossbottom** , two ideas here; you could either buy the _Some Girls_ album because they explain _everything_ your stated mindset is looking for there, or you could do as many have suggested and adopt a more genuine, caring attitude toward her instead of belittling her with some cultural “trick” to bed her down. ---

> [@](#): > > **Grossbottom** : That’s the sound of my withered heart breaking. Maybe I can ramp up the bling? Buy more stuff with logos? Is there anyway to compensate for being wonderbread? I am not trying to break your heart, I am just speaking as someone who is ethnic and has a lot of girlfriends who are either ME or Indian. I generally don’t lead people on-I want another Indian so when I get attention from people outside my ethnicity I actively discourage them. But there is a subset of chicks who know they want someone from their own ethnicity for a marriage but still enjoy the attention. Then again, who knows…but the fact that she has a fiance and is still flirting with you leads me to believe that she enjoys the headgames (toying with you, keeping her real marriage potential type person) but won’t commit to anything other than a dinner she will later play off as a “just friends” thing. Also if she’s in her late 20s chances are high she’s probably husband hunting, anyway. Maybe you should try someone unattached and mature whose Persianness is just one aspect of a whole you really enjoy-rather than trying to get with her to click off a box on your foreign chick list. Because to me, that’s what your OP sort of reeks of. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] Sorry, you’re SOL. Persian girls have psychic powers. [/QUOTE] You haven’t told him of their other unique feature; or are we keeping that secret? I knew an Iranian girl once (she didn’t have the good sense to call herself Persian), and she was really into anal. The way to a Persian girl’s heart is not through her petite pink petals, but through the chocolate starfish. ---

[QUOTE=liberty3701] It’s not about talking to her. It’s about thinking of her, referring to her like she was a human being and not a piece of ass. [/QUOTE] No, I get it. We’ve been friends for over three years, treating her nicely and getting to know her isn’t an issue at this point. Your point is well taken but not relevant at the stage of the game where I’ve traded recipes with her mom. [QUOTE=anu-la1979] Also if she’s in her late 20s chances are high she’s probably husband hunting, anyway. [/QUOTE] Yeah, she is. I get what you’re saying, she’s shopping serious and since she’d never really shop for a white boy at this point, she’s not buying in my section of the store at all, even if she was window-shopping there earlier in the game. I guess I can accept that. Dang! [QUOTE=anu-la1979] Maybe you should try someone unattached and mature whose Persianness is just one aspect of a whole you really enjoy-rather than trying to get with her to click off a box on your foreign chick list. Because to me, that’s what your OP sort of reeks of. [/QUOTE] My OP is meant to explain that I’ve successfully overcome these barriers before, not that there’s some sort of collection going on. [QUOTE=Jodi] An engaged piece of ass who, since she has failed to surrender the pink, must be wearing a cultural chastity belt that the OP’er will be able to spring as soon as he discovers that super-secret thing that makes Persian wimmens rip off their panties. [/QUOTE] Seriously, everyone I’ve told about this who has anything to say on the matter just sort of sighs and says, “Persian? No chance, dude.” If I think it’s a cultural thing it’s because that seems to be the consensus, including input from this other friend of mine who married a Persian guy. I’m just wondering what I can do about it. [QUOTE=Cervaise] if you can fill your mind with thoughts of her body draped in endless chains of gold finery, you might be able to distract her, and thus have a shot at spearing that bitch. Give it a try and report back. [/QUOTE] Your wisdom is boundless. I will name our first child after you. For all who think I’m a crazy: I’m still waiting for someone to claim firsthand knowledge either way. Aha! See? Sound of crickets. I am so not imagining this issue. 😃 ---

If you want to know what I think you should do, I think you should not pursue her. Be her friend and flirt with her all you want, but it’s not cool to go after somebody else’s woman, whether you succeed or not. ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] Really, I didn’t think of that. :smack: Thanks. Thanks so much for schooling me on this cultural nuance. Now that you have, would you like to know what I think? Hmm? Tough. I don’t like to be associated with many of the things American, culturally or politically, as of late. But it isn’t an option to pretend I’m something else. [/QUOTE] Say that I move to France and embrace French culture, so that when French people ask my ethnicity I tell them my family hails from “L’Etats-Unis”. And let’s say a few years down the line, the French government decides to respect an American request that the official international name for my country should be “Ganada” or “Bexico”, I can’t keep calling it “L’Etats-Unis” if I like that name better, or if I don’t like what the Ganadian or Bexican government stands for? Doesn’t make sense. ---
