Parisians direct

My Paris-experience brought me knowledge about many things. One thing I learned actually came by teaching a real-life Parisian something.

§ 1 In many cases women think, that guys who follow them are probable creeps. The woman will either run to shake the guy off her, or give the guy the finger.
§ 2 It is not better to follow a woman along the river than in the metro.
§ 3 A woman taking her sweater off is not necessarily a sign of interest towards the accidental guy.

Teaching these lessons to the real-life Parisian, or let's say accidental friend, I learned some valuable lessons myself.

§ 1 Guys who follow women are not always creeps, they might also be not-too-bad Parisians who show their interest.
§ 2 Some Parisians might think that stalking a woman by the river won't be seen as creepy, when again accordingly stalking a woman in the metro can understandably be a bit pervert.
§ 3 A woman taking her sweater off can in some cases be a clear sign of interest towards the accidental guy.

I have seldom been in such honest company, and heard such direct language. It was refreshing, actually. No beating around the bush, no nothing just for the sake of something. It feels like someone opened a window.
