Did you talk to ANY men here in the US?
Conversations usually go like this... Hey, I'm Josh, nice to meet you, I'm Jason... (2 seconds of silence...) so what do you do??
Plenty, but not in a random context. Mostly with people I surfed with or dived with or when shopping, sightseeing, etc. I didn't consider these conversations any different in this aspect (they didn't immediately go into job descriptions).
But one thing I can't stand about the American culture is how falsely excited they are. When a conversation goes like this:
Person: So what are your plans for today?
Me: I have this freediving bag---
Person: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE (this interruption of his made no F*cking sense and just showed how he wasn't listening at all)
Me: ...and the handles ripped and I need to take it somewhere to get it fixed for my next flight.
Person: SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET
or like this:
Person: What did you do these last few days?
Me: We checked out the northern part of the island...
Person: AWEEEEEEEEEESOME, THAT'S SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I just can't treat them seriously. Happened to me both with an American male and a Canadian female who has lived for many years in the US.
