I work at a hostel in Germany and every time there is a group of American girls, everyone in the hostel just want to shoot their selves in the face. American girls are loud, annoying, inconsiderate, and easily offended by anything that they don't understand (ex. cultural differences, different perspective on life, etc). The one thing that really annoys me is that they are ridiculously self-centered and have little regard to others well-being. Also, they take very poor care of themselves and it shows physically.
No wonder the divorce rate in the USA is around 50%, I can't even imagine being married to any American girl. Also, the extreme feministic attitude of the American girls are just insane. Despite the number of advocate American feminists, American girls are so manly and not feminine at all. They act more like boys than girls. I have never met an American girl who acts like a true lady.
You American males need to man up and not let your manhood be dictated by your women(getting screwed over custody of children, divorce settlements, etc). Come one, have some respect for yourselves.
How do you American guys deal with this? The only good thing that the American girls taught me was that I am very lucky to be in a country with quality girls. I don't hate American girls though because they are the easiest girls for sex ;) they will do nasty things to anything that is foreign!! But I would never date one, unless I wanted to kill myself!!

Just like how nobody should judge Germans by this post, nobody should judge a nation by their tourists (I'm English and we have the worst tourists of all) or by their television. People do things on holiday that are out of character and people appear on television little realising they are taking part in a freak show for the viewer's amusement.
I feel qualified to talk about American women because the longest relationship of my life was with an American. Funnily enough my first big relationship was also with an American, who had grown up in Poland and Germany before doing post-doctoral work in England. She was critical of Germans in strange ways (she said the church bells were annoying). I think that's probably a criticism of Europe as a whole; we all have church bells. But she was in Germany against her will and desperate for a life in America like her cousins.
I do think you're portraying Americans unfairly and also showing that kind of superiority we Europeans get accused of. Germany is a great country with some very nice people, as is America. The only one who is coming across badly here is you.
I would hate to be married in America to an American girl. Despite them being so ignorant, I would have to deal with the laws that would support her and take everything from me, even when she was the problem.
You said exactly what I try to say to men, not to let women dictate their manhood. They have no right to do so, so shouldn't, and males shouldn't let them.
Sadly, males don't have much of a choice when it comes to legal issues such as child custody. The law favours women, and until there is a complete uprising of the male gender to fight against these inequalities in the law systems, then it isn't going to change.
From this, and you explanation of women and how you implied men don't allow women to dictate their manhood in your location, I believe that I might just decide to move and live in Germany whenever I get the chance.
*Note* This comment wasn't aimed at all American females, a lot of you know that I respect you on this site, some more than any male user on this site.
But yes,I love German girls because they value things that American girls do not. I believe American girls focus their values on the superficial aspects of life. I am not sure if this is the fault of American media but it is sad to me.
Perhaps the saddest thing about American male is that they are forced to value life through the eyes of american females. A man simply cannot be a man in America. I don't understand, there is nothing wrong with a man being a man. Yet american female perceive this as a threat to their gender. What? Why? I think you Americans are too concerned about being too politically correct to the point that it is doing no favor to anyone.
No offense but America is a weird place to me. In America you cannot drink alcohol until you are 21 yet you can go to war and take a human being's life at 18, obsession with fast food, obsession with hollywood, a free country built by slaves, promote equality yet emphasize on individuality, lack of focus on educational institutes (its absurd the amount of money you have to pay for university. That is a sin), etc.
Germany is not perfect, but I would never able to live in America. Maybe visit but never live. If you get a chance you should come to Germany (or Europe)and see for yourself of what I am talking about. Remember to learn some German though ;D
Oh and to answer your question. I avoid most girls that you've described. Most of my female friends respect their elders and are quite intelligent. Although, they can be a little rude, but who isn't.
I am actually thinking it would be better for someone like me to live in Germany, it sounds like a great place, and like all places, it has its bad parts, but respect is given to the male gender, which is rare today.
Are you a student? If so maybe you can do an exchange somewhere? Expand your perspective, experience the what its like to live away from your home country. Discover the world, but more importantly, discover more about yourself ;)
I don't see why someone gave you a thumbs down on your reply to me, so I'll thumbs it back up, there was no need for someone to thumbs your comment down.
FYI, the US isn't the only country that was "built" by slaves. You can thank our European ancestors for introducing slavery to both Americas.
But I will admit one thing about America- we are a very materialistic society. We're completely controlled by the media, I will admit that. However, that's one thing about the American society that I don't think will ever change.
I'm totally not BS-ing here, I'm genuinely interested in how that would all play out.
Very annoying.
I need to travel!
It really sucks that Germans hate tomboys so much. You guys sound like real dicks. You also missed the point of feminism but that was probably a mistranslation so I guess that's OK.
I was going to say that I doubt they reflect the typical American woman, and bare in mind that type of American woman is the type you'll remember; loud, brash, promiscuous - the ones that do not conform to that stereotype could easily go unnoticed and forgotten by you because they don't act in such a manner, thus giving you a skewed impression of American women.
It's like British people. A lot of British people travel to Spain and other sunnier places on holiday - the problem is that some of them are travelling only to get tanned, drunk and fucked. The ones travelling to get tanned, drunk and fucked leave the biggest impression on the locals because they're the ones making all the noise, mess and trouble. The nice British travellers who go for more than skin cancer and sex go unnoticed. That leaves the locals with a lasting, negative opinion of British people.
But judging by most of the comments here, you're right :S
There is such thing as Tourist Inhibition Syndrome though (I just made that name up) where being in a different city, country or culture can feel to the tourist like being without responsibility. I know I've felt this before, a certain feeling of freedom when surrounded by people who you'll probably never meet again, that speak a different language and live a different life. Sometimes for people that feeling can be expressed in rude, loud, obnoxious behaviour that is untypical of them.
I don't like being tarnished with the same brush as the British tourists who act like twats abroad, but I also don't blame locals for their views; as I say, the lasting impression is often left by the loudest and meanest of travellers.
That being said, if you decide I am too ignorant to have a reasonable opinion, you may take your leave now. However, if you decide my response may be, at the least, worth considering, please, continue reading.
I'm here to clarify, less so to criticize. It's understood that some of you come from a different country and that is completely fine. Without a doubt, I too have many stereotypes about other nationalities that are in need of rectifying, so if you would care to enlighten me sometime, that would be appreciated.
There are two points that I would like to address - bear in mind that you are not actually completely off mark. Alpha, that American girls are 'ignorant' and 'dumb'; and beta, that American girls are 'easy' and 'materialistic', and gamma, that American girls are self-centerd.
First point - This isn't anywhere near true. Again, yes, there are ignorant and dumb American girls, but there are also ones that are smart. You might want to keep in mind that not all the girls in America are the same. God forbid that you decide to generalize so in this aspect. Also - I can't believe I'm actually admitting this online, here of all places - I have had issues with guys before, and them ranting about all the things that deem a girl 'undatable' to them. You probably know some of the universal ones (i.e. your girl cannot be taller than you) but what you probably don't know is that boys hate it when their girlfriend is smarter or better at some things than they are. I don't know, maybe this is not a problem for you. Before you write me off, realize that I have seen these things before. Also, I need to point out that this causes a little bit of an issue here in good ol' America. Girls, knowing this quote-unquote preference, are encouraged to be more clueless and more stupid than ever, if only to get a guy. I myself refuse to conform to this standard, and I know some women that do as well. However, that may be where prejudices come from, so in this case you are partially correct.
Second point - You mentioned that you have experiences to back up this point, but truth be told, a generalization really cannot be made even if you have done (God forbid!) ten American women. I'm sure that some tourists may go a little crazy when they are on vacation in Europe, what with the rumors and all about what to expect. They probably haven't realized you're laughing at them yet, hah. In that case, that's their fault. But I would like you to consider again that I am a female American myself, and that is just not something I would choose to do on vacation. Sorry, I don't care about the whole nationality business, so if you dare touch me, I'll hurt you with a tenacity you've never known before. I'm not one for the one-night-stand, anyway. It's just not my thing. About being materialistic, it's the same as for everything else I've said before. Some are, some are not. There's no real generalization that can be made for that.
Third point - I won't be too presumptuous about this one, as it's not clear where such this came about. But I don't think that all Americans are automatically self-centered people. If you've watched a lot of American movies or soap operas (which I shun anyway for their idiocy) then that could potentially be the cause. Hm, interesting.
Alright, that pretty much concludes my case. If I have offended anyone, I apologize profusely as it was not, by any means, done intentionally. Now I'm wondering - did any of this make sense to you? Even if it didn't, thanks for reading this anyway.
If I still seem stupid to you, sorry is all I've got for now. After all (Note my inaudible voice silently dripping with sarcasm), I'm an American female, eh?
And never, ever, under any circumstances, get married.
2. Titties
3. Most Americans are very...dumb. I think i'm part of most.
The only thing women in America respect is assholes. Why? Because they are fucking stupid and think Asshole=Assertive/Confidence/Safety.
PS I'm an American.
I hear women like assholes because they want to be 'taken' sexually. But I don't know to me they are just plain dumb because there are plenty of nice guys out there yet they never bother to go out with them.
Sorry sweetheart that guy isnt confident, he is just a total asshole. Oh you dont know the difference? Poor you.
American chicks for the most part are really fucking stupid. It there are a couple that are actually worth talking to.
