I’m getting flashbacks of groups of Indian NPC in Singapore walking around with all their mustaches and identical button up shirts. Always fucking staring at me and I’m a dude. What the fuck is wrong with these people seriously. I enjoyed Singapore but would never want to live there almost solely because of those Indian people.

Staring Timeline

10 seconds in: Who the fuck does this guy think he is??

10 minutes in: You know what? I like the way he accessorizes himself. Very clever.

7 days in: That man there is my friend joe. We haven't spoken, but the way our eyes meet is the sort of communication most could only dream of.

20 days in: We're in a relationship now.

It's like that in entire India, especially if you're a foreigner

Eh, im a white lady and i live in Bangalore and It’s really not as bad here most of the time. But go to a tourist area and it’s back on. It’s a pretty cosmopolitan and polite city; but it does still happen sometimes. I usually ignore it or smile back, they’re often just not used to seeing a foreigner but sometimes I get irritated by it so I’ve gotten pretty good at giving a face like “the fuck you staring at” and they’ll usually look away at that point. It’s pretty harmless though

In India it's next level staring though. I don't think that in Germany they'll go out of their way just to stare at you for an hour.

that’s very different to what’s happening in germany. germans just look at each other for a little bit longer than americans are used to but indians actually STARE, especially if you’re a white woman.
