It's lucky you are
that you haven't had some bodily harm inflicted on you for that "what's your sign" pickup.

as an aussie sheila
I've met quite a few yanks in pubs who have been quite the gentleman. They shout you a few drinks, don't expect you to buy them a round and then show you a good time. But those that want more are usually told to fuck off! Yeah, we don't hold back on our words much. You should try Darwin. The poor blokes already outnumber women 2 to 1 and when the Americans come in the local boys get a bit pissed off - men can be so possessive of potential roots.
Anyway, I wouldn't be offended by ocker - it means an Australian (which you are not) who is not well-educated (you know about dachshunds, so I'll hold judgement on that one!) and do not behave in a polite way (your story seems to use appropriate language). I would have been more offended if she called you a wanker. But then again, we can sometimes use that as a term of endearment.
Perhaps you should have just said - are you looking for a good time and then taken it from there?!

Ok, but I'm just thinking, let's say, her name is Rachel, and you
keep calling her "Sheila" - how is she supposed to love you? Is she supposed to call you "Bloke"?

How does a "Sheila" learn to love a man?
