NativeJenni, I know exactly what you mean. I live in Asia and I have to say the people I know and have met don't have the same social filter to control the conversation that I grew up with. For the first while I was very offended and had a few words with people I thought were just being rude. After awhile I understood the filter thing, now I do exactly what you suggested and ask them why they want to know, it works most of the time, because they think it is very rude for me to ask????

Anyway, I was asked by someone I had just met if I was <Edited to preserve some privacy> or not, no she wasn't interested in sex, but rather religion. I was so shocked I didn't say a word and walked away. She was a good friend of my wifes so I couldn't be to rude.
