   I loved your blog. I noticed the same male behaviour when
   I spend a month in Vancouver every year. But then I’m
   a senior citizen and the up side is I usually, but not always
   am offered a seat on the bus ! ! !

   I think you can be safely assured that Vancouver is full of good people and assholes just like anywhere else.

   If a whole city seems against you, it is probably something do with how you are feeling.

   Still, it could very well be that Vancouver males have learned to be more polite. I certainly take care when talking to a woman not to seem rude or leering, being careful to lock eyes, no “flicking”, etc. It just seems more a mature way to be.

   Just try and get into situations where speaking naturally just makes sense. Most people want to talk, I think. Having people being compelled to talk to someone because of their looks is maybe not the best way to be (although it is certainly flattering if you want it, to be sure).
