My friends, you have NO idea how excited I am to be posting this. How are men in the US? If you know me a little bit well, you also know I do not miss an opportunity to comment men, to admire male beauty and bla bla bla. Since I have traveled quite a bit, often I find myself comparing the different experiences, culture and attitudes of men from different countries. No judgement! Anyway, to start the year, I decided to write about MY extensive knowledge (or not) with American men!
Get ready for a bit of cliches, some laughs and of course, valuable information if you are planning to date an american dude! – AMERICAN S: please do not take me wrong. This is just based on few experiences, meaning not everyone is the same. 😀
1. Americans are not dominant guys
If by any chance you like a guy with some character and capacity to drive a crazy woman, I have to say Americans may not be the ones. I am sorry, girls! But they are the kind of men that do EVERYTHING for you: You will almost get bored because everything is always fine. They are always fine with anything.
2. Americans love texting
God help me sometimes with text messages in this country. These guys SPEND HOURS on their phones. They always have something to like, to comment, to add. I came to realize the prefer texting you than seeing you in person!
3. Americans are slow
I am not in a hurry but these guys here really enjoy taking their time to meet you. A few months ago when I moved to Chicago, I was seeing this guy quite nice, we are texting often and we have met about 5 times. If at the 5th time you are still meeting, I am assuming you kind of enjoy spending time with each other. I made the first move (cause the guy was not really advancing much) and I got a: ‘well, I want to get to know you better… Let’s take it easy‘. I was shocked! I thought is this one 28 or 18? Welcome to the US, babe 😀

4. Americans have a weird concept of invitation
I have not have a SINGLE guy (not ONE) American that has paid me a coffee since I moved to Chicago. OK, OK, OK! I am a totally 50/50 girl BUT when someone tells me, ‘let’s get together, I want to go for a coffee with you’ . I don’t know about you but for me this is an invitation (meaning, you kind of pay the first round). This does not seem to be a normal thing here!
5. Americans are loud!
Damn, they are loud. For some reason they always have to be the loudest in the room or at the bar. If you like guys that like to grab attention, believe Americans are the choice number one. Everyone will always notice when they arrive and when they leave.
6. Americans are always griding and smiling
That’s what drives crazy HERE! You never, ever know what they think. They get so excited for things: everything you say to them seems to be the best invention ever. However, deeply inside you never really know if that’s true or not. EXAMPLE: They say: ‘It was great seeing you. I enjoy my time with you a lot’. And then, they never find time to meet you! French were always so honest: they kind of tell you when you are sucks in your face (but at least, you have no expectations, no time lost wondering about things).

7. Americans seem to not understand the boundaries of wedding
I am 28! Most people at my age are getting engage or are already married. I was quite busy traveling around, working and studying so I have not made my way there (YET). However, I noticed Americans get married quite early, especially in the Midwest (very often people end up marrying someone they met at university). But apparently being married and chasing other women does not seem to be a problem around here. Never in my life, I was approached by so many married men: either I do not look like a serious girl (don’t know why) or they have not understood yet, if you are married you are not supposed to have sex with others. Thanks for the understanding, my people! 😀
And that’s all for today 😀
Hope you enjoyed my description about Americans. I look forward to be adding more topics to this post 😀
Beijinho,
