I am talking about the dating experience of a transplant tho. Compared to my friends in this current city who were born and raised here. There are differences in my experience and the experiences of those in my circle. Differences in expectations and results.https://twitter.com/BonaFideSage/status/1089970759978700806 …
I’m curious to know what particular differences you two speak of? Also I was commenting on the state of dating as a whole when it comes to living in transplant cities.

Different priorities regarding career, home, personal entanglements, different relational expectations (regarding what a gf does or doesnt do), different ways of approaching women (or not approaching women).

Can you elaborate. The word differences doesn’t illustrate what you specifically mean as compared to men from the north.

I have more recently ran into men in this city that have more susan homemaker expectations of their gf vs up north. It has been very "stand by your man" versus partnership. Very Speak when spoken to, under the guise of chivalry. Gender norms are king

Even being approached is seen like a gift, other than what it was in the north, the norm. There's swag & then there's entitlement off the strength of just being male, and I have come across the latter more in the last 6 months than I have in the last 3 years of my living up north

too. Men say they’re chivalrous down south but rarely do men offer to buy me or my friends drinks. I don’t often hear about men expecting a Susie homemaker type down here but a lot of men want to relegate you to “chillin”.

I have gotten asked "whats the best thing you cook" long before "what do you for a living. Again, I can only speak to my experiences and those in my circle, but I have definitely had drinks sent to my and girls or meals bought while here but once they speak, its a negative
