different expectations

Well, we're in America.

So tough.

Moral of the story: never date hispanic

yes, but she doesn't understand the 'root' of what she has internalized

no one does really

Erm.. I beg to disagree.

it is actually dangerous in many regards as many latina expect the males in their vicinity to intervene on their behave as is traditional in their culture

but in western culture, we tend to mind our own business

Cutting in line is still rude.

not disagreeing; only pointing out that those with a particular mindset will never see it that way

Never is too harsh a term.

Too pessimistic for my taste.

can't argue that directly, best to argue indirectly to get that point accross

for example, she wouldn't like to have to hold the door or take out her own garbage etc. until she realizes those things are the other side of the coin, she'll always blame it on the individual for being rude

pessimistic? nah, it's just a mutual exclusion that has alot to do with expectations we learn as kids

Nah, she was going through security a while after I was waiting for my food.

Rather, waiting to order my food.

women as supposed to do A and men are supposed to do B. We all have different notions of what A and B are BUT we don't respond well when a person strays from that category and if A and B don't balance out in the end, well, it doesn't work the moment you add any stress

expecting her to wait is just unrealistic if she is a traditional Latina

I caught the panicky footfalls that became determined and made a beeline to rescue.

that is like expecting a German to be more emotional than logical and autistic

Lol, it's not an expectation- it's a demand.

it's still an expectation

Wait your friggin turn.

the best you can do is disassociate

Just going for the twist on words.

and when that isn't an option, the culture gives her a pass making you swallow it

Wanted the easy pun, and you're trying to steal my fun.

lo

opps

And then the poor cashier apologized for the gal's rudeness.

Which was, too, ridiculous.

Funniest instance of that was that hispanic males expect a woman to explictly declare 'you are my man' and police that effect OR.. it's a green light to chase others

when you have an american girl and a hispanic male, the signals get crossed

"You've nothing to apologize for. Now, where were we..."

One of them understands the cultural difference. The other does not.

And women are the only ones that can point out that another woman's expectations are inappropriate
