Anyone with insight into Armenian Culture?

[Pliablemoose]

I'm going on a date with an Armenian woman next week, and don't really know jack shit about their culture, etc...

Anyone have time to clue me in a bit?

like born in armenia? I'm 100% but my parents were born in the states so I'd say armenian culture plays about .01% of my life

I'm sure if you stay away from controversial topics you should be fine.

Yep, they seem to be a pretty tight knit group in LA, at least the 1st & 2nd generations.

Tell her how awful you think Turkish people are?

Google search Christy Canyon. Her background is Armenian IIRC.

<<---used to and still have a crush on CC.

I recommend taking her to a Turkish restaurant. The flavors are very similar to Armenian food, and she'll love it.

Bring a razor and a pair of sheep shears.

Oh, and your dumpster will be ready on time.

Researching before a date? Why not just go out and have a good time?

You're obviously not aware of my predilection of screwing everything that wears a skirt...

I'm a quarter Armenian. Is she actually from there? Or was she born here, or at least lived here most of her life?

Play System of a Down when you are driving with her.

Yep, naturalized ~20 years ago.

You not knowing anything about her culture is a good conversation topic. Women love talking about themselves, just listen and nod and you'll be golden.

Most Armenians assimilate into American culture pretty easily. I can't remember any instance where Armenian culture and American culture clashed with me or any of my relatives.

Armenian women tend to be demonstrative and domineering given their diminutive stature.

Tell her you hate the country of Turkey right from the get go...like immediately.

That and when you first see her say "hey, bro!" in a stereotypical Armenian accent. Btw, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Good luck dude. Hahaha.

They're all from Glendale, CA.

first date?

if you're not Armenian you're not fit to marry her, if she's in her mid twenties she's overdue for marriage, be careful

It is considered rude to talk a lot while you eat.

Don't fart

Don't slouch and lean back in the chair.

The ones in Glendale are largely from the Levant and Iran, which are the wealthier ones. There's also a lot in Van Nuys and North Hollywood which are from Armenia, and these are working class. So in other words, in Glendale you have Armenians and in the east Valley you have Armenyans.

I'm going to a birthday party thing at a club tonight with a bunch of Armenians, should be interesting. White dude out of place!

They are bad comedians?

You could google Armenian Culture... just saying.

Treat her like a human you want to bone, I'm sure that will be good enough.
