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 …

But I have friends in my city, which is a transplant city, they’re all from the south and they’re going through the same things. This isn’t isolated to one group. It’s everyone in transplant cities.

Im not sure where we disconnected but there are different dating expectations in the south versus the north. That is what I commented on. That has been what my experience has been. And my adjustment period is one that is the norm when I asked around

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

I definitely see the entitlement difference but a lot of me begs to think that’s more of a sign of the times. Men who know they’re “successful” think they can use these things as bargaining chips to force women into submission but that’s something I’ve experienced when up north
