> [@AboutAsWeirdAsYouCanGet](#): > > perhaps by referring to them as women instead of girls…would you call an adult male a boy? Why not? People refer to men as boys all the time; “I’m going out with the boys for a drink”, “I just saw the cutest boy on the beach”, “boys and their toys”. Whether addressing an adult as “girl” or “boy” is insulting or affectionate or just a cute turn of phrase depends on context. ---

I went to an Armenian concert with my Persian/Armenian friend. In the beer line, the Armenian girls were saying things like “Wow, you like Armenian music.” and “You like Armenian people?” I think a lot of them would be happy to date outside their culture. A lot of the guys in Armenian culture downpress their women, treat them as wombs and houskeeper/cooks, physically abuse them, etc. I got the feeling that they were very open to guys from other cultures to get away from all that. ---

> [@Least\_Original\_User\_Name\_Ever](#): > > That’s the thing. You’re NOT screwing up their engagement. She (to keep with the previous scenario) was going to cheat. If she just so happened to cheat with you, it’s not your fault. I certainly do understand some guilt at you being the catalyst for this breakup, but the cause? Nope. Nope, it’s still your fault, because you didn’t do the bare minimum you could to stop it. I know there’s the penchant to try and disclaim responsibility for things because the other person is the one the really bad thing. But fault is not a either-or thing. You are at fault. Maybe less than the woman herself, maybe not. But you with full knowledge chose to do something that would hurt another human being for your own selfish pleasure. You can’t claim innocence because she made the initial decision. You went along with it. Being the “catalyst” as you say means you are still at fault, just like a catalyst is part of the cause of any reaction it participates in. That’s kinda what the word means. ---
