No...It sounds like she knows that you are her competition. Personally....I am older so I wouldn't be partying like you are describing....But...In my opinion, you are not doing anything but being yourself. Your friend is correct, ignore her. You cannot please everyone.

She wants you to react to her telling you these things, ....so that you will look angry to the others....and perhaps be less attractive to them because she is actually being mean herself by criticizing you...she is trying to get attention. She knows you are getting attention by being fun loving...she is jealous.

But, in honesty...by being just yourself...and ignoring her hateful comments you are rising above her in all others eyes...Be yourself...be young and have fun while you are volunteering.

Please, can we do away with the myth that every time someone doesn't like someone else or disapproves of their lifestyle that it must be a case of jealousy? Maybe she just doesn't like the OP because her modesty is offended, or she thinks the OP is too frivolous, or too self absorbed, or too condescending or who know what.

Not exactly multicultural are you now? You go on like you are SO open and ever SO tolerant of other peoples views BUT lord almighty heaven above if anyone dares to have a disagreement with you well let me tell you they need to be ready to be treated like absolute dirt!

Its funny because i've noticed this alot from people from the LEFT, you know Liberals etc who pretend that they are so tolerant of everyone but if it comes to someone whos from the RIGHT all hell breaks loose. I will not bide anymore of my time to you, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but that DISGUSTING comment has ruined it.

Yep. Sounds like made up male fantasies. I'm starting to think "Irene" is some Middle school boy probably typing from a basement in Michigan.

Colombia is the same. Nudity is not common there except for strip clubs or models/actresses on tv or magazines.

You're still not getting it. You know when you hear someone say, "don't take it personally"? In this case, take it personally. What I'm saying is not how I think of other people in general. My response was custom made specifically for you and you only.

I don't think it comes down to the girl being American. I just think it is a personality clash. We can't get on with everyone.

I won't comment on the other aspects e.g. swimming naked as that just opens up a whole can of worms.
