Cultural Practices in UK ( from movie)


This is a three part thread.

1) Do young UK girls really go out, tarted up in arse baring skirts and heels to sit around the town? Is this common for all or just those few that need to display themselves? That rabbit coat really was too much.

2)Guys can actually pick up that way? just pull up and ask them to join them?

3)Are car parks a place that you usually hang out on a date or is that just to engage in intimate acts?

Thank you in advance.

There are girls like that (who dress like that and/or can be pulled easily), guys like that (who pull like that) and carparks like that yes, but it is not representative of every young person in the UK, it's just one set of people.

Sounds like you want to go there to pick up "birds"

actually.. I was asking a legitimate question.. NOT asking to PICK UP BIRDS.
I havent been to england and i was curious if that was a common look for teens.

Lots of US girls can look just as Skeevy.

Your comment really didnt help.

I wouldn't know. I get home at 6pm on a Friday Night with 4 cans of Kronenboug, a pizza and a DVD and don't leave the house until Morning. I imagine some do, though. But not girls that I know.

2)Guys can actually pick up that way? just pull up and ask them to join them?

Again, I imagine so. I'd normally at least offer to buy a girl a drink first.

3)Are car parks a place that you usually hang out on a date or is that just to engage in intimate acts?

It's called Dogging.

1) The UK girl was (from a working class and culturally deprived part of England) her behaviour is no different than your (USA or any other countries) inner city or trailer trash chicks.

2) It happens all over, in all sorts of situations. You think meeting someone in a bar is any different? Here its just a bit more obvious and direct. Some people might even say honest and lacking in pretence. Consider this though, nearly every single girl that goes out with the high school football star is basically doing the same thing.

3) In nearly every american teen movie the boys always try to take the girls out to the point. What is this point? A place to park your car and make out. That it is dark and you can't see anything makes it no different than a car park. The cultural practices are the same.

You really are ignorant

C'mon people it was a nice film influenced by things that have happened and continue to happen daily. The trashy outfit of young white chick that says 'take me home' to the annoying boy racers who plague the streets of every urban part of the UK. It would be nice if they just focused on taking home barely legal loud mouthed annoying kids in little skirts, but they spend most of their time waking up residents with loud music, dangerous racing and generally being a pain.

im a highschooler from new york, and all i can say is, you will find every type of person in every country.

love + hate might have shown behavior of people that might seem kinda far fetched, but its just reality really.
