Bored In Ba, Making New Friends

[ExMontreal]

Hi Rich One,

I´ve been thinking on your post (I don´t know yet how to copy/paste it here).

I don´t like to generalize and prefer to think that every individual is absolutely unique. And that whatever is true for me, might not be true for others points of view. And all points of view are acceptable and must be respected (with exceptions, I won´t accept a point of view on someone defending violence, war, that kind of disagreement on basic human values are real disagreements).

With this in mind, I can´t ensure that this situation absolutely always happens, however I agree it often/usually happens. And I think that, probably, it is because of the worldwile dilemma about the existence (or not) of true/real/deep friendship between genders.

So as many people don´t want to be misunderstood, they prefer to not get involved in this kind of situations with the opposite gender (specially in this circumstances, in a forum, where you don´t know much about the other people values and opinions, with a multicultural audience, etc). Consequently, when someone from one gender ask for friendship, it usually get answers from potential friends on his/her same gender.

I am female and married, for the record. I'm 33 y.o. as the OP.

My remarks are not necessarily my beliefs they are the product of years of observation of the Forum postings.

Moreover many expats that come to the Chats ONLY meet with friends at the chats , without exchanging private cell phone contacts??

Or to build fires to keep warm. (Those Starbucks' stirring sticks make good kindling.)

Hi Daniele. I would love to join a running group so please count me in! I live in Caballito so fairly close to Villa Crespo. Where do you go running? I often do the 5km route from Caballito around Parque Centenario and back again

Hi Paula, your post is now a few months old, but I've just moved to BA from London to join my partner here and I am also looking to meet new people. Let me know if you're still interested!
