Was at a Turkish restaurant in Yemen & when a group of men sat next to me in this nearly deserted restaurant. My friend said, "You know the difference between Turkish & Yemeni men – Yemenis will stand across the room & think they're flirting with you while Turks will come & sit right next to you." He was right, Yemeni men have no balls... & it was great! Totally miss it! Back to the fake wedding ring. Back to daily declarations of undying love & comments every 2 minutes on my beauty. While offers of sex aren't daily (only get the occasional 13yr old boy pointing at me then his dick)… most of these idiots shout at the top of their lungs then hurl insults after I ignore 'em. I'm not a supermodel; it's all about being a blonde Westerner. The Ethiopian tourism board really should consider a new marketing campaign targeting blondes with low egos. But my ego is healthy enough. And I've had it! Now I'm down right rude when they insist on talking to me & started curling my lip up in disgust while passing men on the street. Oh & was still getting propositioned after saying I was married but my husband was at home… (except for the guy that was helping me figure out which bus to take & then when I mentioned a husband - without a word, he totally split on me!) Now my fake husband works here. When one guy asked where, said UNDP & the guy said “oh, you David’s wife?” Don’t know what I was thinking! Said yes! Now having visions of “David” & the UNDP tracking me down. Sorry, realize I’m always bitching about foreign men… go ahead & let me be surround by beggars grabbing at me… or let an entire city cross their arms, stand still & stare… I handle that stuff no problem. But please keep those damn rude men away! Tags: Ethiopia men |
