Don't mind him... he's a cynic who doesn't even believe in love.

Re: Armenians and sex: what's your opinion?

Hi, I'm writing as a new member to this forum, and as a white, western European male of 24 years.

I have an enormous interest in the history and politics of Armenia, and very much admire it for repelling so many invasions and keeping its national spirit alive over centuries of turmoil and demoralisation from other forces. But as yet I have had little contact with the country - I have never visited and only recently started reading about modern Armenian society - and would be very keen to learn more... I figured this thread would be the ideal place to start

There's a girl I really like. I met her on facebook a few weeks ago, she's Armenian but living in Moscow, and she's a student, two years younger than me. I feel even this would be enough to give us a common starting point, since I myself graduated last year (although I don't know whether her subject of interest is remotely similar to mine), but besides the distance issue (I live in London, lol), I'm VERY AWARE of the cultural differences between us - possible differences in expectations, and different ideas about how quickly things like this should develop and progress. I feel I may be trying to force my interest upon her, and perhaps pushing my foot too hard on the accelerator. What's more, despite her numerous smileys in messages, she sometimes takes more than a week to reply and she has not yet left an "x" at the end of any of them...

She is very beautiful, presumably well-educated and from what I know about her, she would theoretically be an excellent girlfriend for me. She is highly desireable in many ways. She seems quite modest, but not boring, and all the pieces of her personality seem to "fit" with mine... But again, this cultural gap keeps rearing its head and I'm not sure how to proceed. I have to think so hard before I send her a message, making sure it's not too long in case she can't be bothered to read it, but not too short, because I don't want her to think I'm losing interest... assuming she cares, that is. Plus, I'm not sure when it would be appropriate to address this issue with her directly... At what point is it safe to ask an Armenian girl about her romantic situation?

What should I do? Many people consider Armenia to be a European country, but because of its connections with Eurasia and the Middle East (e.g. Iran) I'm sure there must be some important differences in terms of peoples' attitude towards romance and sex. Are Armenian girls similar to Hindus, in that they only mix with men of the same ethnicity as themselves, or do white western European men stand MORE of a chance with Armenian girls, because perhaps they admire their history and crave the professional status and material prospects that they associate with "the West", in the way that Chinese girls tend to? And since Western Europe and Armenia are united by a shared Christian heritage, should this not mean that, differences between Catholics and Orthodox believers aside, they do at least have a few fundamental cultural perceptions in common? Or are there important divisions between these two faiths, despite their apparently common roots?

I could really use some help with this, and any feedback or advice would be very much appreciated...

Many thanks

If you're asking whether you can impress her with money and material possession then the answer is yes.

Welcome. Armenia fits with Europe in some ways, but it is very different culturally. Generally, Armenians try to marry other Armenians because we are relatively few in number and preserving our culture and heritage are, therefore, big priorities. That said, there's really no way to tell you about this particular girl because while on average we tend to favor our own (romantically anyway), that doesn't tell us about any individual.

I would say, if you feel strongly about her, then don't put off telling her that you have romantic interest in her for too long because it will just be harder for you if she doesn't feel the same the longer you wait as you grow more attached.

In an elementary school, the teacher gives school work to the class. Everybody writes except little John. The teacher asks him:
- John, why aren’t you writing?
- I’m exhausted because of sex.
- That should not be a problem, write with your left hand.

Parliament will get even less accomplished (if that's at all possible) in the future when holographic 2x2 images can be projected from the screen
