Did you know that Lebanese men think expat women are easy? Now I don\u2019t want to fling ugly stereotypes or trade in gross generalizations with potentially sexist and neo-Orientalist undertones, but this is just what I\u2019ve been told. <\/p>\n
By Lebanese guys… while they were trying to get in my pants. <\/p>\n
The following is based upon a monologue I recently sat through with a Lebanese guy. You can\u2019t call it a date, because it wasn\u2019t a date, it was a one-man show, and I was his captive audience, sitting in a coffee shop over a chai latte. <\/p>\n
So, how do you find Lebanese guys? Because I\u2019ve heard from foreign women that Lebanese guys all think they are easy. But no, I\u2019m not like that, I\u2019m just saying other men are like that! I\u2019m different. See? I\u2019m buying you coffee, I\u2019m getting to know you. God I can\u2019t believe you\u2019d think I\u2019m like that. <\/p>\n
So, by the way, do you want to be friends with benefits? <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s the thing. I\u2019m not what you\u2019d call \u201ceasy\u201d anymore. I\u2019m too old and too sober these days. But I\u2019m not exactly the Virgin Mary either. And this guy was cute \u2013 both classically good-looking and eccentric in a way I happen to find specifically sexy. But the minute he started in on this \u201cexpats are easy\u201d line \u2013 he blew it. <\/p>\n
Seduction properly done is a little like a magic trick. If you want someone to fall in love with you (or at least go home with you) basically the worst thing you can do is say: \u201cI\u2019ve heard you\u2019re easy.\u201d Talk about a bonerkill. I\u2019ve seen cats with more game. <\/p>\n
So, you wanna pick up an expat woman? Here\u2019s my advice.<\/p>\n
1. DON\u2019T try to tell me what your assessment of world politics is.<\/b>
Do you think Barack Obama is a Muslim? Keep it to yourself. In fact, it\u2019s a good rule of thumb to just shut your mouth, period. The best thing a guy can do to get in a woman\u2019s pants is to shut up and listen. There is nothing sexier on this planet. <\/p>\n
2. DO pick up the check on the first date.<\/b>
Some people will say feminism means we go Dutch. That\u2019s crap. Do you know how much it cost me to get waxed? The least you can do is pay for dinner. <\/p>\n
3. DON\u2019T try to give me life advice.<\/b>
Especially when you still live with your mom, bro.<\/p>\n
4. DO tell me about how much you love: animals, astrology, music, and the TV show Broad City.
We can talk about it for hours!<\/b><\/p>\n
5. DON\u2019T tell me about how crazy your ex was, unless you want me to call her up and give me all your dirt. <\/b><\/p>\n
6. DO tell me I look hot.<\/b>
If you want to sleep with someone, a guaranteed way to do it is to make them feel sexy. But don\u2019t overdo it. A simple, \u201cyou look great,\u201d once or twice should do the trick. <\/p>\n
7. DON\u2019T explain to me what a Super Night Club is, or what the going price is for Russian versus Syrian prostitutes these days.<\/b>
I\u2019ll assume you have the clap and make up an excuse to leave early. <\/p>\n
8. DO give unusual compliments.<\/b>
It tells me you\u2019re paying attention and can realize I\u2019m a special snowflake. In this world of fast-paced sameness and conformity, isn\u2019t that anyone really wants, anyway: someone to lie to us and say we are a unique individual? Total boner. <\/p>\n
9. DON\u2019T try to dirty text someone before you\u2019ve even seen them naked.<\/b>
Dirty texting someone you haven\u2019t seen naked is like sending someone a review of a porn instead of a love letter. It\u2019s just depressing. <\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
