The discussion revolves around the question of what American women look for in men, highlighting the diversity of preferences and behaviors among women. It emphasizes that not all American women share the same values or customs, with some adhering to traditional views on relationships while others embrace more liberal lifestyles. The conversation touches on potential taboos, such as discussing sensitive topics like abortion or gender roles, which may not be well-received. Humor, respect, and good listening skills are identified as universally appreciated traits, while the importance of personal hygiene and physical appearance is also acknowledged. The dialogue humorously critiques the lack of female input in the discussion, suggesting that men are attempting to define women's preferences without sufficient understanding. Overall, the thread illustrates the complexity of dating norms and expectations in American culture, underscoring that individual preferences vary widely.

Wolram, you are a tease. Have you not seen Spiderman 2? You should never keep something like love a secret. You should disclose all details on an internet forum under the safety of an anonymous identity. Okay, that last part wasn't specifically stated in Spiderman 2, but it's what Doc Ock meant.

The impression I get from magazine polls and relationship guides and such is that the single most desirable trait a man can have to an American women is the ability to consistently make her laugh.
That is number one on my list. It isn't the ONLY thing on my list.

Brewnog, you are absolutely correct an English accent will make American girls swoon. :!)

You're bitshy around women? Oh, a bit shy. I get the impression American women, or at least those from New England, are a bit like British men - not to be mixed with alcohol. Me and a mate hung out with a few girls for a few days and, yep, they dug the suave English accent (that everyone thought was Australian... hmmm... not so suave then), but as the first night wore on they got really rowdy (and randy), turned against one another, had huffs... some real face-offs going on. My mate tried to leave and one of them leapt onto him as he was going up the stairs. He got away, but then she grabbed him by the shoe. Not the outside of the shoe, you understand. She dug her fingers into the back of his shoe and held on for dear life. She begged him, and I'm not kidding, to- actually I can't say what she begged him to do, but I never heard those words COME from the MOUTH of any British girl I ever met in public on a first social outing.

Dinner the following night was... interesting.

Was that a freak occurrence?
I'd say those girls were definitely freaks. :bugeye:

Well, call me snooty, but I don't care for being called a "girl." I give extra points to the contributor on page one who changed the word "girls" to "women."

Yep, I'm a sucker for the accent too. (But you might consider some dental work.)

Humor is important, but not being listened to is infuriating and no matter how funny you are ... if you don't listen it won't matter.

I find the fact that most all of you on this thread are male, trying to brainstorm what American women look for, and apprently reaching conclusions with very little actual *female input*, quite funny. In a nice way.

And although it's politically incorrect to say, you know, you have to be at least passing on looks. And hygiene.

That's all well and good, but we want girls.

[sigh] Mike Myers has a lot to answer for.

Did you just say something?

Yes, how funny men are for not getting much female input despite request. Um.

As a smelly hunchback I find that remark distasteful and hurtful.

As an effluvially rich, and also alarmingly hirsuite fellow, I have to second your objection.

I thought that was drop-dead gorgeous for a zooby..? You must have a healthy harem of zoobettes.

Alluringly hirsute?
Oh no, my mind was wandering again; yet another misread.

LOL.

Well, we knew the stereotype before Myers ran with it. The Scots seem to be worse than the Brits, if that's any consolation. Fellow on the train from Kings Cross to Glasgow, talked with us the whole way - but I just kept wondering ... *how* did he lose so many teeth? Irn Bru?

You're new, so I'll let you off that very, very serious screw up. But let that be the last time, lest I smite thee with great vengeance.

Irn Bru?

Ooh yummy, yes please!

No trouble with the zoobettes. I am experiencing a lot of resistance in my attempts to date human women, though: "Deodorant!", "Shave!", all that kind of flak.

LOL. I was just baiting for a Scot.

We love your legs.

(edit: Dammit, it still doesn't read right. That was reference to kilts.)

Hi Brewnog!

Hi Brewnog!

I'm not a Scot!

But if I was, I'd still be a Brit. That's all I was getting at. But yes, my legs are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm very partial to a spot of Irn Bru.

What does "Made in Scotland, from girders" mean? 'Girders' as in steel bars?

Hygiene, yes, but I think that goes along with being kind. ;)
Looks don't make my list, but they would if I were interested in a different kind of relationship. Anywho, I think wolram could at least tell us if this lady is at PF. It wouldn't hurt just to know that much; There are lots of ladies here. And the suspense is killing me. :frown:

Mmmm. You certainly all kept quiet about it until the film came out though, didn't you. I don't get why, since Austin Powers does seem to be the source of the teeth jibe, people didn't pick up on the fact that his teeth were bad by modern British standards . Not that I care, but I just always wanted to ask that question.
History done with, a little geography for you. Scotland is in Britain. Britain = Scotland, England & Wales. I think you meant to say "the Scots are worse than the English"?
But yeah... Irn Bru is pretty toxic. But my god, synthetic chemicals never tasted so good.

Oh dear. I don't know who I have insulted (everyone? I was teasing!) ---- But yes, that was what I meant. Typing too fast. Sorry!

The tooth thing - well, the other side of the coin is that some Americans (especially where I live) bleach and bleach their teeth to a shade of brilliant white that has no place in a mouth. It's downright distracting. It's the dental version of steroids or any other over-the-top aesthetic change.

You're all lovely. That's what I meant to say. Lovely. (better?)

You're right. No one had a preconception about British teeth till Mike Meyers emphasized it, and went around pointing it out in the interviews for his Powers films. Now everyone thinks they noticed it themselves, but the fact is, Meyers is the only person in the world who watched all the old English films he says inspired Austin Powers.

It was the same with the first President Bush and Dana Carvey. No one even thought of Bush as a comic figure till Carvey came out with his surreal impersonation. Then everyone started imitating "Bush" but they were really imitating Carvey.
