Discover how to approach men in the Foreign Country

Regardless of the language or cultural barriers a person cannot just go through a country without interacting with its inhabitants. Imagine traveling by train for hours: you and some other foreign persons. What do you do? Keep the distance, don't say a word, and wait for them to start the conversation?

At a first glance, foreign men may seem harder to approach than women. They look more reserved and apparently less curious or interested to start exchanging with you. Still, you have an ace in your pocket, the simple question: "Where are we now?". And if you actually know how to say this in the local language, your traveling temporary companion is certain to start talking. Keep the conversation simple and do not start any "serious" talks about politics and religion. You may be in a country where these two topics nourish a lot of negative passions.

A little research into the customs of the countries that you will be visiting, will offer you important hints on how it will be appropriate to greet and address men. In many countries, there is customarily for men to shake hands when the introductions are made. This is not recommended when trying to greet Muslims that respect the Islamic principle saying that persons not intimately related may not have any form of physical contact.

Moreover, addressing your companion by his first name or by using Mr X depends on how he introduces himself and how he addresses you. North Americans will switch easily from Mr X to first name, whereas Asians will "save face" by not renouncing to calling you by your second name; also, South Americans will include in the formal etiquette the Spanish titles standing for "engineer", "professor" and "doctor".

There is nothing wrong with approaching foreign men along your travel as long as you do it in a considerate way. General politeness rules are valid and applied all over the world. The most important thing for you to retain is : replicate - that is approach and address foreign men the way they approach and address you.
