1) All of the men are skinny waify types.
2) Correction, all of the straight men.
3) They all dress in a grungy trashy type of way
So basically, the only guys who look and dress like I do here (Tallahassee) out there are gay (and tops apparently). So I'm gonna change my clothing style to be more straight when I move out there, my best friend has vowed to help me because the whole style still looks really goofy to me and I can't tell when I pick up a shirt whether it sucks or not. The funny thing is that the only guys that dress in LA style here are gay.
4) Women there don't like to be touched...wait I have to expound on this one.
Ahem, I touch girls in public, not in a crude manner but rather in a "tap you on the shoulder" sort of way but more sexy and usually along the mid section. I've been doing this forever (forever operationalized as 12 years) and it's never gotten this type of negative response. Though, the only big city I did it in was Miami and its been fine there. Apparently you can't do this in LA. The girls recoil instantly as if they're used to being beaten or robbed. Now if they want to turn around, look at me, then recoil that's fine. But they don't even look first. Instant recoil!
So I'm going to have to break this habit...except then I went to a touristy bar and the touch was working again. The problem is it's instinctual for me. I don't think "Ok now I'm going to touch her to get her attention" it just comes natural. But to avoid jail time I will have to stop it via pavlovian measures if neccesary.
5) Everyone out there thinks they should be dating someone "important". Whereas in other parts of the country a chick can only dream of fucking "Insert celebs name here" in LA there is the smallest of chances that this might actually come true. But! Other viable options for them to fuck are people of import on the development side of the biz, and that my friends is where lying comes in. This weekend I told a girl I was a producer on a reality show that was being made about my life...and it worked. Though that might be a prediction instead of a lie, as I could possibly receive an associate producer credit on that if it ever did go forward.
6) Also I learned that the film/tv development business is dirty and evil. With all sorts of underhanded shit going on of which I now have working knowledge of. I might make a post in detail about this later.
7) I have decided to live in korea town. Supposedly it is the most americanized of the 3 asian towns. I ate authentic korean food. They bring out all sorts of weird shit as appetizers including a fried fish with the head on it. I ate everything except the head and tail but then looked over at some old korean men and realized you weren't supposed to eat the bones in the mid section but rather just pick at the meat with your chopsticks. There was also some really weird shit that neither one of us knew what it was but i ate that too (after checking to see that it had been placed on all the tables and not just the white guys').
Then I knew that arcade's still existed in these asian towns and that 2d fighters are still king here. So I walk in and expect to get my ass handed to me. Instead I squared off againt 2 little kids. Yeah they were kids, 11-13. But they were pretty good (because of their asianess). I took my ryu and chun li and defeated their ryus and kens in 3rd strike (being good at Street Fighter is one of my god given talents). Finally they beat me and I gave them 4$ in tokens because I'd only used 1$ to fight them. So not only is the foreigner skirred but he is arso genelous. And the girls in the arcade were fucking HOT. One of them looked of age, but it was hard to tell. I'll never talk to them lest I go down the path of he who must not be named. But the point is that korean town is full of hot asian english speaking chicks and I'm gonna be living there.
