I've been on my fair share of road trips with Brits, often as the only woman in the group, and I always thought it was sweet how the men would go out of their way to give me my privacy, even if the only privacy they could offer was letting me have my own bed while the rest of them lumped together on whatever was left.
I never asked for this and quite frankly it confused me the first few times because this isn't something I've experienced with Danish men, but they insisted and, well, it was very sweet.
Makes sense - nobody wants to wake up in the morning and be accused of sexually assaulting the female while sleeping. Apart from being gentlemanly, it keeps the guys safe.
@The_Blahblahblah Unfortunately, that only helps so much. An accusation of sexual assault from a woman will always hold more weight than even a lifetime of good behavior from a man. It is an unfortunate truth that while girls are being taught how to defend themselves and to be afraid constantly, boys are being taught that intent and truth don't matter, only public perception does, so they must avoid anything that could entrap them.
If a guy volunteered to sleep in a bed with a girl, there is no way - NO WAY - that it would not be assumed he wanted something sexually. And dear gods, imagine if that oh-so-common morning wood made an appearance? In bed with a girl?? He could be asexual and homoromantic and STILL be called a perv.
It's the same here in the U.S., though the guys would share not share a bed unless they were really close. They would rather sleep on the floor and let the guy spending the most on the trip have the second bed.
@Zenon
Must be because you are a Nazi.
Anyway your question was answered 2 posts later.
"According to Facebook, Humon got a new job and a new puppy in the same week. Hence the delay.
Normal service resumes next week."
@nroejb
Ah, but check the flag
I am but a sheep in wolf's clothing, or perhaps I'm not.
Regardless, if what you say is true, then it is a shame that, as I'm showing nought but pure intentions, there are those who look past my caring attitude to instead focus and, as illustrated with downvotes, frown upon my appearance.
Have we forgotten the order of the day?
Judge us not by the colors we wear or are born with, but by the content of the character within?
@Zenon
Well maybe it's not just that but being named after the God of overlords?
Who could trust a potential Nazi Satanist Otaku?
Anyway I don't actually know the reason for down votes I just didn't want to just quote another person without saying something myself.
@nroejb
Oh.. I had no idea there was such a character named Zenon..
My name is just an intentional misspelling of Xenon, a noble gas from the periodic table.
I'm sorry about all these coincidences, but at the same time, I thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt, conversing with me instead of downvoting me on impulse.
@weelydangle Unless you're in my friend group, I'm the only gay one all the rest are straight, no-one cares. Its just a bed for sleeping in on a night or weekend away on the drink.
@gandyg I envy people like you so much. I can't sleep unless I'm in my own bed. Plus I instinctively see myself as disgusting, so couldn't bear to inflict myself on anyone else. More my problem than anyone else's, but there we are.
@gandyg Sounds like my best friend and his athlete buddies, for the last decade or so we go on a trip every year, they go fishing or do some ridiculous climbing thing. I'm there to cook for them (which I really like to do, feeding hungry men is strangely gratifying).
For the first couple of years they found it hilarious to send the homefront pictures of me sleeping next to them with accompanying texts like 'look who I found in my bed last night' or 'my new spoon buddy'.
best thing is that I never have to pay for the trip!
being the 'gay' one of the group has its perk, not gonna lie.
And then a Finn comes by and gives a fuck. Sleeps next to the lady holding the knife so the girl stays on her side of the bed xD
Just joking, would just sleep next to the girl, but politely stays on the own edge of the bed.
