Title: British Women and Profanity
Post by: jimmy olsen on March 18, 2012, 07:18:08 PM
I don't know if it's just selection bias in who comes to work in Korea, but I've met dozens of twenty-something Brits (almost all English) and Irish and a distinct pattern has emerged.

The women swear like sailors, while the men, though they have accents just as thick and charmingly quaint vocabularies, almost never swear. What gives?  :hmm:

Also the women are larger then the men.  And uglier.

Not true.

It is also possible that  there is only one British gender.  And what you are seeing are just more feminine males.

You're probably encountering middle class women and men. 
I've only ever encounter 1.5 English middle class women who don't swear, whereas I've know quite a few welsh and Scotish women who won't and a surprising number of working class men who don't.

Of course many middle class English men swear, in an effort to fit in, which never works.

And it's all a question of swings and roundabouts, as I've worked with plenty of men from the north-east, whose every third word is fuckin', but it's just a verbal punctuation/tic which has no meaning or emphasis at all.

The men are attempting to endear themselves with the locals by giving an impression of politeness in the hope of getting laid.

The women have no chance of getting laid by either the locals or their fellow tourists so don't bloody bother.

Can't say I've ever noticed this.
I'd guess teaching in Asia tends to attract the nicer, nerdier brand of male (i.e. not too into swearing) whilst it attracts the adventurous, slightly crazy, brand of female.

They're in their 20s so most of them are pretty hot, and the accent gives them bonus points (and that's for the other foreign teachers, just being white makes them incredibly exotic to the real natives).

Japanese guys find western women exotic and hot yes....but are intimidated by their whole idea of being equal people and having rights and that sort of thing.
I've not encountered it much myself but I have heard that in East Asia things are a lot easier for foreign guys than girls.

Well yes, a woman can always go up to random guys and ask for sex and will probally get it whilst even in the hottest man in the world trying such a thing might not.
But they tend not to do that.

Yeah.  Look, if you are an expat working in this part of the world, more likely than not, you have an above average social economic status when compared with the natives.  Guys don't mind dating poor but pretty girls.  But girls want to find guys who are better off than themselves.

I learned this lesson a few years ago. I was in a beach resort in Malaga, Spain. I was wearing a t-shirt with a leprechaun and a Guinness symbol while walking around the town. For some reason, a group of mid-to late twenty something English women thought that shirt made me Irish and started yelling random ethnic insults at me. It was a bizarre experience.
