If an attractive man in Italy is being flirty, ask him about his wife. He almost certainly has one but will try to play it off like it’s no big deal and act like YOU are the odd one for having a problem with infidelity
Latinamerican men (I know there's many countries in latam but we all have similarities in our cultures) are the first ones to abandon you if you get pregnant. They're selfish and sexist bastards who constantly justify infidelity on men's part + they're useless when it comes to house chores. Most sit down at the table expecting women to serve them while they play domino with their friends or watch the football. Overall they're a bad deal
This isn't really a widely known 'stereotype' per se, but statistically, most South Korean guys have been to prostitutes or similar sex workers (which are usually trafficked women from SEA) at least once. Most. A lot of them also stealth, secretly record, etc. The secret cameras in public bathrooms are really just the tip of the iceberg.
Source: expat Korean friends who go out of their way to warn every woman about them, I assume because of the rise in popularity of kpop.
Don't know if that counts as a cultural stereotype, but all of my female american friends have warned me about dating american guys because they are trash. Well they are absolutely correct. North american men are trash, sexist and misogynistic.
-Scandinavian men are entitled. They are generally very low effort. You will be asked to come over to Netflix and chill, drink dates and coffee dates. They won't pay for any of that, but expect you to be gratefull for them to share their valuable time with you.
- Speaking of entitlement: Scandinavians are also exceptionalists, like in the USA. We think that our system is the best, our politics, our nature, our food, our people, and so on. A lot of men show signs of this thinking, and will act as they are superior to you in any way. Never let a scandinavian man feel superior to you!
- One night stands are common in Scandinavia. A scandinavian man can expect you to have sex with him on the first date. But it is highly uncommon you will get real commitement out of a such encounter
- Scandinavians in general are very lonely people. I feel that their fondness of ONS comes from their need of intimacy. But they lack a sense of committement. I feel that men here are VERY afraid of real committement and will RUN without ever looking back, at the mere thought of having to commit. I have countless times been ghosted by guys who just "supposed" I wanted to have something with them (I didn't). It has happened to a lot of my friends too.
- Scandinavian men WILL ghost you. People here in general are very afraid of confrontation.
- Scandinavian men expect you to act as their equal and be their "buddy". We are socialized here to be "the same" "equals" and whatnot. They will never hold a door open for you, or walk you to the bus (I am talking about minimun courtesy here). But they will anyways feel emasculated if you are an empowered woman. Many men here burst and cry stating that equality has gone too far and "females" have too many privileges here, so women have nothing to complain about (But we have plenty of reasons to complain...)
Turkish/Arab men lovebomb multiple non-muslim women for sex by being romantic. They have a fetish for blond fair-skinned foreign women but also don't respect them because they are not Muslim. I have lived in the Middle East and they all think European and American women are whores with no self-respect and will exploit, traffic, and abuse them.
Women being fragile and weak is their mindset, so they will "protect" you as long as it makes them feel like a man. They are OBSESSED with babies and are good fathers, but serial cheaters (and yes, most wives know as long as he will never leave his family it's OK). But leaving his family is a huge shame and all relatives and religions will come down on him, so they avoid it by having (foreign) side pieces or multiple (Muslim)wives or both.
they are all pretty bad in their unique ways, interesting topic though. i have met scrotes from all kinds of places and it is interesting to me that some use their culture to justify thinking of women as lesser, and some (mostly white privileged men from the u.s.) who claim to have progressive views on womens rights. Biggest hypocrites ever.
they still think they didn’t get a job cause some woman or minority here got it, or think if we want equal rights then we better pay our half of the date somehow like with money or sex or both.
I really wish someone could do the opposite, and name a country or culture that cherishes women and respects them. Are there any?
So what I'm getting from this thread is that most men are the same kind of trash everywhere, but seasoned slightly differently from country to country
The stereotypical entitlement/mamma's boy take care of me attitude associated with Arab and Indian men has proven true for me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I no longer date men of those ethnicities -everything is negotiable to them and they are the pushiest men I've ever met and disappointing when you bother to agree engaging with them
That Arab men are indeed misogynistic controlling over women.
I've lived and worked all over the world, as I was in the Army. At their core, men are the same everywhere you go. Some cultures are a little more hidden and more quiet about their misogyny, but it's there. Some places are safer than others, but you can be raped and killed anywhere you go. You take your chances engaging with any male.
I had the unfortunate pleasure of renting a room in a 6 bedroom house with 5 other Indian and Arab men in Silicon Valley, CA. All were techs nerds, and here I am the random American girl in healthcare. But they were all misogynistic towards me in their owns ways. Believing they were smarter than me because I was a women. All 5 of them were rude to me, belittled me in some form or fashion. They called me a liar because I told them I'm from (blank city), but I then talked about my travels. And they were accusing me of lying about where I'm from because I was talking about living in different cities during my travels. I had to show them my driversl license to prove I wasn't lying, because they couldn't comprehend a woman traveling alone. It was ridiculous.
jamaican men are controlling whores
Egyptian men are toxic af and they love their “homies” more than they love their girlfriends.
That Italian men are overdramatic and put on a romantic show for you but drop you as soon as you're inconvenient in some way. Also the pathos seems fun at first but gets on your nerves quickly. I'm from Germany and I can say most stereotypes regarding German men do apply – many are introverted / socially
awkward or friendly but emotionally unavailable, obsessed with work and rather stingy. The best men I've met had some other nationality mixed in. German + Eastern European has been a good combo in my experience, but I'm biased since that's what my and my partner's family are lol
-Korean men make good boyfriends, but terrible husbands
-Korean men are horrible with showing emotion (there are a few reasons for this, but most refuse to even try to work through it or improve)
-Most are really bad at sex and selfish in bed (coming from past experience and gossip with my Korean girlfriends)
-When dating foreign women, most will take an unattractive or white woman over a beautiful WOC simply because she's white
-Most see expat women as easy, and expect sex on the first date. The amount of times I've been nearly led down dark alleys and steered to love motels on hour 1-3 of a date is outrageous
-Most men cheat while dating and in marriage. Something like 70% (based on a study here)
-Absent and emotionally unavailable fathers once children hit 10+
I have a super long list, but I don't feel like typing up each and every one, lol.
I've been living in SK for 7 years. Most of my Korean friends married to native men are miserable. The expats I know that are married to Korean men are too giddy at "nabbing" a Korean man to realize how toxic, low effort, ugly, or garbage their husbands are.
This is coming from someone currently dating and vetting a Korean man (who has lived abroad and doesn't hold most of the misogynistic, small-minded, and downright disgusting beliefs a lot of men here grow up learning).
My husband is from China and he wants kids REAL BAD. It's obvious that he would consider himself to be a failure in life if he doesn't have bio kids. Also the concept of "face" is 100% real. He doesn't care much what goes on in the house as long as it's private, but he goes to ridiculous lengths to present a certain image in public. He's also not patriotic towards China at all, in fact I know he kind of hates it, but he will never say it out loud and makes patriotic noises occasionally. A female Chinese friend of mine put it perfectly, he only loves China with his mouth 😂😂 Also he thinks pot is as bad as crack lol.
