Hi.
It's a bit long, but this is sort of bugging me and I couldn't find any posts on any of the subreddits that helped with my situation.
I'm in my early 20's and I live in Australia. I get this question a lot as I come from Syria and people just get naturally curious from my accent. I tell them what area I'm from, but they insist "Nah, I meant, like, what country?"
I don't sound like a typical arab or whatever. I loved reading English books as a kid and watched Hollywood movies and shows on the TV. It's how I became fluent. My accent is like half American (from watching so many shows) and half Australian from living here for a while now. I don't force the accent, it just comes out naturally and they pick up on me being a foreigner.
My background is actually Armenian. So I say "I'm Armenian, but I come from Syria." And... It's almost like they feel bad for me. As in, they dry up and tell me how bad it must've felt to live in Syria and it just kills the mood. It's sad that I can't happily tell people where I'm from without them classifying me as a "refugee" and basically treating me like a second class citizen. In these instances, it usually doesn't lead to a close, since I drop them, 'cause I know it won't lead to much action from experience. I think it decreases my SMV in their eyes.
Yes, I am a refugee, but we also own a fucking house this early in life, I'm fortunate to drive a sport version Mazda 3, which I always keep clean. My fashion game is on point and I'd say I dress European street style or Classic fit, it depends. I'm gonna say my look is 8.5-9 out of 10. Ok? I used to have acne, but that's gone. My vision is poor, so I wear glasses like this. They look great. I have green eyes and I always get compliments on my look. I had a chest injury lately at work and it's affecting my lifting progress, but I'll get back to it soon. What I'm trying to say is, looks aren't my problem and I'm not in a bad situation for an immigrant in his early 20's. I've come a long way.
I also sometimes get the "Wow... Your English is quite good" or "Your English isn't bad at all for a refugee."
... Jesus.
You should also read about this to understand why people of Middle eastern roots are generally classified like this. Basically, arab immigrants tend to stare at locals and it pissed them off, then they clashed. Combine this negative stereotype with the multiple rape cases in Germany and you've got yourself a recipe for a dried up pussy. Girls won't tell you this, but it's evident in the reactions of some, though not everyone cares. This mostly happens with the local girls, which is the type I shoot for + Greeks/Italians.
I guess the reason why they're initially attracted is because I don't look like your average Syrian or Armenian. I'm not bragging, but a few people told me that I have a German appearance, with a close friend telling me I really resemble Götze, the football player (minus the super sexy hair, mine's kinda thick and wavy).
So, I ditched my Syrian identity and I basically started telling girls I'm Armenian. It didn't solve my problem. Now they don't know where the fuck "Armenia" is. "Where is that? You mean like where Kim Kardashian is from?" Man... It's suddenly like I'm borat from kazakhstan.
You might think I'm dwelling on my own thoughts. I'm not. Not every girl asks me this, but about half of them do. I don't get why they ask. I mostly listen to Pop Smoke, Trav, OG 90's Hip-Hop and 80's Rock with them in the car, so it's not like I don't blend in. I hang out with the locals a lot and I honestly like them. I blend in perfect given my appearance and good English... It's when I switch to Electronic Music, like Sirusho - Qele Qele (Yerevan Club Mix) that they wonder where the traditional notes are coming from. I bump that Sirusho song every weekend in my car and it's not leaving my playlist.
I'm not gonna change my lifestyle for pussy, but to be honest, I like white girls and I avoid girls from my ethnicity altogether, as most of them are 6-7 at best (mostly not fit) and have their noses high like they're the shit, then hit the casino behind your back with drug dealer islanders and come back to beta bitches in the community who marry them. At least white girls are easy going and will bang anyone, anywhere, at any time, as long as you've got your shit together, know your game and understand their lifestyle.
My brother tells white girls that he's "Italian", since he has an Italian name, or sometimes "Spanish", so they believe him. My first name is uniquely Armenian and not the same. Instead, I tell them a shortened version of my last name, which is "Max". It's a German name and it coincidentally goes with my appearance, you know?
It lasts until they smell Wog taste in food, music or sport (soccer/football). That's when they ask and give weird vibes when I answer, and it hurts my reputation.
How do I knock these barriers and smash more pussy? I just don't want to lie/avoid talking about my name and my identity more than I have to, as I'm not ashamed of who I am. Thanks.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
