Interesting social work-around.

What would that be? Why, being an Australian, of course! That and visiting foreign nations.
Not only is simply being Australian basically an easy get laid pass in foreign nations, still, using that cover of being from another nation helps cover social mistakes! Providing you can put up with what nations other than Australia like to call "beer"...

its n interesting observaqtion.

you will find a lot of AS men do travel to other countries where their idisycraises are explained away by being from another country.

A lot of AS childdren are mixed race for this reason.

As men tend to travel to other countries or attract women in their own countries from other cultures.

Figures! Some of you guys have NICE accents, and some probably believe you have it GREAT! A nation that is probably AT PEACE, seems nice, LOTS of beaches, few people and lots of land, etc....

I'm from the USA, DON'T really have an accent, and the rest has LONG been disproven. 8-(

you know; that might explain why one of my uncles is that way (he married a Thai woman when overseas in the US Military during the Vietnam War; the US had bases there too and he worked with intelligence)....assuming he has it, AFAIK he received no diagnosis and some of the stuff my mom and grandmother said about him do suggest that he has those traits.

Hate to break it to you, but Americans do have accents. Anybody who can talk does.
But, just so you are aware, your description of Australia is a false stereotype? Onr that is sometimes useful, but not actually true.

huh? The US has a LOT of coasts and beaches, and a large quantty of the US is still sparsely populated.

Just to clarify, accents vary between classes and states. Bogans sound awful.
The Australian military is on near constant deployment, keeping the peace in the constant civil wars in SE Asia, assissting the U.S in the Mideast and UN actions worldwide.
While we do have many beaches, also cliffs, coves, etc.
While population density is low, Australia is expanding. 24 million people - 20 here, 4 abroad - is not few. Actually, given world situations and food supplies.
But, we do have it great here, and there is a lot of land - cattle ranches bigger than Texas, after all.
Not a negative stereotype, but one that leads to an influx of annoying European and North American tourists trying to order a fosters at the pub...

Examples? I'm not aware of civil wars in South East Asia, I know there were some low-level conflicts in thailand between the more muslim south and buddhist north.

There's an average of two noticeable civil wars per decade, but the most recent troubles have largely been rebellions, coups, attempted coups, etc. The Solomon Islands and East Timor most noticeably of late; though media coverage is limited due to low public interest. Not to mention all the "we will deny you were ever there" ops; it's impossible to think such things don't happen, but evidence would not exist to prove it.

If I were to shift environment, I think I'd look for somewhere with a very mixed spectrum of inhabitants, so there was no possibility of identifying a mainstream type. I think that's the factor that made my time in one particular district of an English city so good for my social confidence. Prior to that I'd lived in a street where they would think you were weird if you didn't dig your garden on Sunday. But in a more cosmopolitan community, it's hard to stand out as any more different than the others.

I've heard you can set yourself up for life by acquiring modest savings in the USA or Europe, then migrating to a poor country with the money. Without the need to work for money, you're free to find the type of friends that suit you best. Or you can work but without having to feel afraid to leave.

I'm English, and I quite like the European mindset, if such a thing exists - just that they generally seem a little more at ease than the English. Ordinary American people can be refreshingly un-stuffy and they seem to value speaking your mind more than the English do. But it's unwise to generalise.

oh, okay. Yeah there have been issues with East Timor.

ToughDiamond, true. going to the city center or a more multicultural area is more better..

The good North American beers don't seem to travel far, but do exist. Such sacrifices may prove unnecessary.

I'm sure that wandering Australians on mad bicyle tours of the US and things like that recieve special advantages, up to and including getting laid. I once served one a bowl of tomato soup and got him high. The elfin charm of all things Australian had captured me. One does not do these sorts of things for the Swiss.

Misremebering, but sing rousingly:

Australia! Australia! We love you from the heart!
The liver the kidneys and the giblets!
And every other part!

Australia! Australia! We're millions of miles apart!
(no we're not)
If ever we should happen to chase you
you've got a jolly good staaaaaaart!

Its no surprise Australians are everywhere - there's an estimated four million outside of Australia at any one time. About half a million in London, plenty all over Texas (oil industry), and travelling the world is Australian tradition. That and mooning.
