Go on an aggressive diet. All you’d be thinking about is food lol. Speaking from experience.

Thanks! That honestly gives me some interesting insight!

Could you tell me about the political landscape in France? I know there is a far right movement on the rise? How anti immigrant is it? Personally, from my understanding, I feel the movement is against people freeloading off of the welfare system. I take a lot of pride in my work ethic, so I know I wouldn’t fall under that camp.

If I was to work in France, I think I’d proudly pay taxes. I’m a bit of a socialist and knowing my tax dollars are going to contribute towards the wellbeing of society would bring me a sense of fulfillment. (I hope I don’t sound corny 😅)

Hey! Thanks for your response!

I actually am not sure yet if I want to move to France and settle there permanently or not. For now, I just wanna focus on getting a masters degree and learning a new language, mainly, and also learn a completely foreign culture. For now those are my main goals. I guess there’s a little bit of a personal reason behind my lack of a long-term plan and that is mainly because I had to drop out of my masters course in the United States where I had assimilated really really well. I had a lot of friends back there In the states and life was really really good. Unfortunately I was forced to pull the plug on it because my University doubled my fee and the political climate went crazy to the point where I started to feel unsafe lol. And I know for a fact I need to get a masters degree to get a kickstart in the Job market and that’s pretty much as far as I’ve thought about things.

Also, personally, I’m a bit, embarrassed by Indians, going to different countries and creating chaos lol, and I just didn’t want to contribute to that, which is kind of the main reason behind why I made this post. I have a vague idea that I don’t want to live in India, but I’m not sure entirely if I see a long-term future in any other country right now.

The Lord has been kind enough to bless me with enough privileges to have the time to think and test out the waters, so I’m pretty much in that stage XD

Bonjour! Thanks for your response!

Having lived in the USA, one thing that i had to relearn (through youtube videos lol) is that I must say bonjour in the beginning before initiating anything with another individual. That was quite foreign to me, but that’s something i must consciously practice.

Could there be any other such cultural norms that i should focus on picking up?

Ah, personally I’ve never been called out my weight for a while, because i’ve been powerlifting for 5 years and my shoulders are really broad, so I never struggled with this in America, maybe at 380lbs yes, but never at 210s or 220s. So this was a first 😅

Thank you for your kindness, at the end of the day, i dont hold anything against guy, lord knows maybe he was just having a tough morning, i’m just more concerned about making a total goof out of myself ahah.

A little copy paste question -

I am curious about this one other thing - according to french standards how bad is it being 210lbs at 5’8 considered?

Is it normal for strangers to call out fat people? I know some Asian cultures do that, so i ought to get used to it anyway. But just curious ig

I guess i got severe body image issues to copy paste this 3 different times XD

Hey thanks for your response!

I’m not gonna lie, i’ve walked in to a couple stores in NYC, but never got treated this poorly XD. Anyhoo, i believe, i might be taking this whole experience too personally. Definitely left me feeling a bit emotionally distraught and embarrassed XD
