Could Someone Translate This Male Behavior?

Years ago one of them would have asked you on a date, like maybe to accompany them to a school party. With martial law declared on men on college campuses that's way too risky now. If that makes you unhappy, then write your school administration and elected officials and ask to restore constitutional due process for accused men in colleges.
 
Last time I ate traditional Phillipino food, it was all fantastic until I took a big bite of some strange fruit that was supposed to be a delicacy over there.... My stomach blew the second it hit my throat... Most scarring food memory EVER and is the only food that has made me vomit from just eating it...

I wonder if it was bitter melon (ampalaya)

Bitter melon is definitely an acquired taste. I've never had durian but I hear it tastes and smells like butt! BTW, there are FAR more disguting things in Filipino cuisine. Look up balut! :atoz:

What are you on...Oh right, I totally forgot about the original subject of this thread.

I tried Durian a couple of years ago when I was in Munich. It smells horrific and the texture was rather slimy. To me, it tasted disgusting, sort of onion meets stanky socks. About a year later, I gave durian fruit ice cream a whirl and was reminded of all the things I didn't like about the fruit itself. No amount of sugar, cream, eggs, and ice cream deliciousness was enough to make durian fruit palatable.

You're right though.

The natural attraction of men to women is part of "rape culture"
