As I hinted nothing seemed to come up with the link. As for Google, have heard of it obviously. But do try and keep it to a minimum. All sorts of conflicted together with outrageous claims, masquerading as something else too often found there.

Full of approval. Breaking down barriers never a bad thing. But to claim a nation is multi cultural on these grounds alone is a long bow. A long bow indeed, at least IMO.

I rather not post my picture on here to tell what I look like but are Aussie women very judge mental when it comes to a guys looks or do they care more about personality. I am thinking when I come to Australia to visit I’ll get the same treatment from Australian girls I mean the ones who look more European type but they tan really well just like the girls who aren’t liking me on tinder? I feel like it’s the same thing I’ll be ignored the same way but are those two things very different? Not getting liked on a online dating site and not getting liked by the girls in real life in Australia.

Would this type of Australian girl date a black man? This girl has a white boyfriend.

Dude, online so termed dating is somewhat farcical at the best of times. Nobody can truthfully answer what you appear to be asking.
As for being ignored, well you will have a degree of novelty value. Regardless of what some claim to be a multi cultural country, Afro type people are hardly common. Shallowness, is pretty much the rule of the day. Many an Aussie of Anglo complexion finds it near impossible 'to date' an Aussie woman of similar back ground. I won't go into all the reasons for this, but believe me I have crossed paths with many, who believe this both in and outside the country.


I don't think I have lived in a country, where such disdain between the genders appear to be so prominent. It's a reason among others, while such a high rate of men seeking Asian wives.


If your looking for trophies while conducting a 'hunting trip' there are many scores of countries, more likely to offer fertile ground.

If it's simply a lack of facial hair growth ability, don't allow that in some way deter you from joining the ranks of the self delusional.


Hipsters, are of course besides being a consumerist plot, placed amongst us by alien enemy agents and avocado growers , in order to shut down debate and conform and most importantly to spend non existent money, they are in place to subvert any real subversive movement forming that would certainly challenge the ruling status quo.

Those who ignore the risk end up looking ten years older than they really are by the age of about fifty. Those two examples look like women with a spray tan to me. Also possibly some photo enhancing.

Partly due to high Celtic skin types. I agree though sun tanning has declined in Australia. It is odd to find, more pale skinned women than in Paris or other parts of Europe.


Some women may look older, while others look great with a tan , giving that outdoors look, rather than a prison pallor look, where one may assume they have been locked away for some years, begging the question, just what horrific crime did they commit?


Of course the sun is also a tonic. Sun deprived Australians, have witnessed the growth of rickets and all sorts of ailments , as sun exposure helps maintain bone structure in age, good for blood pressure and fatigue and a host of other things.


Obviously in an age of office confinement, people are being somewhat conditioned to be 'thankful to be under cover in safety out of the sun.

There have been some significant meetings between dermatologists and others dealing with problems caused by lack of sun exposure to try to work out a sensible recommendation of sun exposure. Meanwhile, the dermatologists rake in the money doing endless procedures, needed or not, to lower the risk of serious skin cancer.

But, yes, I remember when I was last in Townsville noticing how pale the local girls were. But it has to be an improvement on my young days when everyone sunbaked while covered in coconut oil. When I felt totally left out and horrible as I have the Celtic skin that never tans, no matter what.

I do feel sympathy for those of such disposition. My feelings are a tan adds protection from sun burn, which is definitely a danger if predisposed.


Yes, I remember coconut oil being used on various beaches in Europe, to assist in the tanning process. Never had call to use it myself, but people in my acquaintance were still using it several years back in the South of France beaches and glowed with golden skin tone together with the best of health.


I note the English in Europe, 'suffering 'with the process of going a bright red, but claiming after initial pain would and largely did bronze up after a two week or whatever process. I would think such 'sun worship' to be detrimental in the case of over exposure , as anything too much of a 'good' thing can produce adverse results.
But the total Australian aversion to sun , in place of what you write was the 'norm' during your childhood, is simply amazing in its extremism.

Fear creating is something rather over used I find in an Australian context, with too little questioning or critique in place. IMO of course.
This fear contains people to a degree and of course delights business interests that will profit, from so induced fear, which obviously extends way, way beyond sun health concern.

How do you define multi-cultural?

Thank you for your permission.

I'm interested to hear why we aren't a multicultural country so here you go, I will tee it up for you: Yes we are a multicultural country due to the enormous number of cultures and races that live here.

Is that the opening you need to give us the benefit of your contrarian wisdom?

No while we are a settler nation, we not a multi cultural nation. Regardless of what they say on the Weetie box packet cover. We are a nation that has a few different races living within it. Numerous in clusters , which can exert influence in elections, within those areas. But the culture remains the majority host one that being Anglo/Celtic.
