That's quite a big claim and an assumption by yourself - In my answer (the first one to this question) I mentioned nowhere that the OP was the root of the issue - I actually mentioned that the OP's behaviour was misguidedly interpreted in a flirtatious way. | |

Story of my experiences in the USA is not meant to paint the Indian culture as lesser, but to show how platonic friendship with the opposite gender colleague is normal and not per se suspicious | |

The Indian culture, and every other culture, is the result of literally thousands of years of evolution. That would suggest that there is wisdom in their mores that would be foolish to simply ignore. Again, the content of relationship advice sites attests to that. | |
