Butterfly Dundee?

Slander! Will Australia's citizens come to the defense of their native land and refute this accusation?

I have a friend, a most attractive young woman, who set off for Australia a few years ago in search of a husband. I suspect that her quest was inspired by the film Crocodile Dundee, because she likes her men manly. After about 18 months, however, she gave up in despair and returned to England, still single. She told me that she had picked the worst country in the world in which to go man-hunting: all Australian men, without a single exception, were homosexual.

Though if I were an Australian male confronted by a British female whose criteria for a mate was a propensity to hang out with crocodiles, I'd be tempted to claim the other side of the blanket too.

She definitely had some problem. Perhaps she was talking 'how many kids' in the first five minutes?

I never had any problem with attracting Aussie men. All you have to do is announce you're available, and a friggin line forms. Buncha horny sots, that lot. If you are really horrible looking, just feed them a few beers first...

Poor chick. Some Britain-based Aussie probably, as a prank, directed her to Sydney's Oxford Street. She took a cab directly there, asked out every man she met, and hasn't been the same since. She should have driven just a bit into the countryside where men are men, women are few, and sheep are nervous.

Perhaps her mistake is that she still hasn't figured out what market the manly Village People were targeting.
