On Argentine men....

It is a refreshing change from America. Argentine men are direct. I have had conversations that go like, "Hi. Where are you from? You are cute. Want to have sex?" I answer no and usually the men stay and dance with me anyway.

They love to dance. They love to tell you that you are attractive. They love making out in public. Everyone does. There is almost no game-playing here and therefore no weird pressure to do something you don't want to do.

The men here seem, somehow, to be less slimy, less interested in just sex (or at least they are very upfront about it), and seem to exert less I-hung-out-with-you-all-night/bought-you-drinks-so-you-need-to-come-home-with-me pressure. Though it is still masochistic (men do most of the initiating), women seem to have considerable control. All in all the heterosexual club/bar scene here has been liberating to me.

Blunt. No pressure. No sense of indebtedness.

There also is a lively gay bar scene. I have yet to check it out myself, I have heard it is similar in tone and viarety. More dancing, less pressure. Let's hang out and if I want to hook up, I'll be sure to let you know, directly.
