Just to give you guys a primer, I've recently moved to a French-speaking Western European country with a dating structure much more rigid than my own, and I've begun to struggle. I come from a place with a highly hypergamous environment, where ONS's are very common and "liberal" dating is the norm. Everyone in this country seems to be in a relationship, and the single life is lacking, to say the least.
The key here is, I've had trouble adapting. I've spent time in Europe before, but in Scandinavia where the system was much like my own at home, even perhaps more liberal.
I have a feeling my game comes off as way too overbearing sometimes, and I've tried to accommodate as such, moderating my behavior in ways which fit in a bit more to their style. However, I've noticed everything is a bit more subdued. The flirting is kept to a minimum, the hookups are rarer, and the people in general seem to be more conservative. I can say I've adapted to a point, but I really don't like it too much. It's just not my style. I feel like I've overcompensated somewhat also, becoming a bit more submissive in my actions.
My game is mostly catered towards American girls with attitudes, but here the girls are way too nice for my tastes. There's just no bite to them, and they keep everything to themselves.
Anyone here made the transition from a liberal to a conservative environment like this? And remember, this isn't Eastern Europe, but it feels like I took a time capsule back to the dating norms of the 1950's in America.
