[QUOTE=Grossbottom] 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] No, you don’t get it. I’m not trying to help you get the girl. What I’m trying to say is that the way you talked about her in your OP was pretty misogynistic. ---

[/QUOTE] Well why didn’t you just say that my taking a moment to objectify my friend sexually is reflective of a hatred of women? I don’t agree. I can talk about wanting to tap my friend’s perfect ass without hating anything. If someone reads “hates women” into that then that’s their baggage, not mine. ---

> [@](#): > > **Grossbottom** : My OP is meant to explain that I’ve successfully overcome these barriers before, not that there’s some sort of collection going on. Okay, my sincerest apologies for the insinuation then. Everything else I say still stands, though. She’s probably husband hunting-unless you approach her like husband potential she’s not going to go for it. If you don’t want to get married, kiss it goodbye. ---

I don’t care if you want to have sexual relations with her. Maybe you don’t actually think this way, but it sounds like you only view this woman as a sexual object instead of a person. So, you may want to be more careful about how you talk about her if you truly do view her as more than a piece of ass. ---

[QUOTE=Grossbottom] Lo, my hope springs eternal. [/QUOTE] _sigh_ OK, let’s try being blunt. Ethnicity does not matter.

[QUOTE=Translucent Daydream] I have a Persian student worker. She says she won’t date white guys, but has never explained it to any of us. She isn’t particularly religious or anything. It seems to be a cultural preference I suppose. [/QUOTE] Wait…aren’t Persians/Iranians considered Caucasians? They’re not Arabs/Semitic.

This strikes me as a shallow view. There’s not a “trick” to any identifiable group of people. I always thought that was the thing that keeps us bothering to talk to each other. Maybe she’s just a little eeped out by someone spending time with her in order to idly poke at what her “trick” is. ---

But that’s just the thing! If she’d just let him have his idle poke, he’d stop bothering her! ---

[QUOTE=r4nd0mNumb3rs] \ If you want to know what I think you should do, I think you should not pursue her.

[QUOTE=Grossbottom] No, I get it. We’ve been friends for over three years . . . [/QUOTE] There’s your problem. It has nothing to do with culture, you’re simply on the “friend” ladder. Since you’re a friend, she can be flirty without consequence because for her you’re about as sexual as a teddy bear (shuttup, Plushies, don’t want to hear from you). Might as well forget about getting her to see you as a beddable male at this point. Ain’t gonna happen if it hasn’t already. The one outside chance you’ve got is to be blunt, state your intentions openly, or make an unmistakable move like moving to intimate distance and trying to kiss her. Face the high probability that you’ll lose the relationship completely if she really isn’t that into you. If you’re willing to take that risk, then there’s a very, very small chance that it’ll work out. Otherwise, she’ll cut you out of her life, and if my experience and that of my other male friends is anything to judge by, will be riding some other guy like a bronco buster a couple of weeks to a month after you stop sucking up all her time. He’ll probably be some jerk that you’ll hate with a visceral violence. She may or may not initiate another ring return due to finding a penis to play with. ---

[QUOTE=scotandrsn] Obviously your experience with this population is limited if you have not once realized there is a huge segment of it that does not wish to be associated with modern connotations of Iran, for a variety of reasons. [/QUOTE] Yes…I know someone from Iran who refuses to go by anything but his initials. Everything but ultra official documents only get his initials. He’s a good guy. Has an awfully bad temper though. ---
