Dating Eastern European Men
Do French women find American men as ugly ?
I been to France and it seemed French women only like French or at most Italian men. Other American men said this too. And the race factor never mattered whether it was a Black-American, Hispanic-American, or Asian/Indian-American, they all said the same thing “being from America is a turn off to French women.”
In Russia and Eastern European countries, i had no problem getting dates from stunning beauties. I know France is rich, almost like America, but a French man told me French women find American men as ugly, even if they don’t act like a loud George Bush cowboy, they still don’t like them.
It confuses me, because I think French women are attractive, well most of them, and I am not fat, so I am just curious.
And the weird thing is I hear French men marrying American women, but never French women marrying American men. And that is a suprise since most American women are fat.
It is not particularly a question of looks.
In Russia and Eastern Europe, contacts, until fairly recently, with American men were almost nil, so they are a novelty, comparably well off, so seen as desirable to cultivate.
When I was a small kid, French girls also swooned over young Americans, had a crush on men like Elvis Presley, James Dean, Pat Boone, Tab Hunter etc… Being American was cool, and the older generation was immensely grateful to those brave boys who had crossed the Atlantic to help turf the Boche out, so they made them welcome.
At the time there were quite a few women who having met Americans who were stationed in France, did marry them and went to the States with them. Even now there are marriages between the two but, as one regular contributor to this column has done, the Americans men have stayed in their wife’s country because they preferred living there.
There are a number of reasons why French women keep their distance.
Many French women have had little contacts with Americans and can only judge them from stereotypes in films or soaps which they have seen on television, and those are not exactly portrayed as desirable partners even if they are stunningly good looking. You just have to watch a few episodes of “Murder she wrote” to see what I mean.
It takes time to build a relationship and if they have no particular desire to leave France, French women are hardly likely to want to cultivate a tourist who is only there for a few days, even if he has fistful of dollars in his pocket.
There is a language barrier in that not all French women speak English, or if they do they do not understand some American accents and expressions, as they have been taught English as generally spoken in the UK. Likewise most Americans coming over speak little or no French. So there is a communication problem. There also is a large gap in culture and customs which come between the two.
In recent years the American image has changed very much for the worse, and even people who were strongly pro-American have lost their enthusiasm as a result. Some Americans who come to France act like oafs, are crude, unsubtle and even crass, therefore have no appeal, and have given a bad name to the rest. I am not talking about teenagers, who still are keen on many things American, but about adults who have lost their rose tinted spectacles.
With regard to your last sentence, many Americans are strongly biased against the French in general and are not as keen to befriend French women as you are. They do prefer women who share their own values and with whom they feel comfortable, even if they are less physically attractive because slightly overweight. So the lack of rapport is probably both sided, and you are an exception.
By the way, I am French; one of my daughters is married to an American, who is absolutely charming , and I have a ravishing small grand-daughter who is American too. I also have delightful male colleagues in America, who are neither George Bush cowboys, nor uncouth ignorants. You cannot put all American men or all French women under the same label.
