Maybe you are right. Maybe he's not French. But what he says is smart and true.
He is a good actor too.
How can you say French girls are as snobby as American though? You haven't been to America and tried to date there, so how can you compare?
My Greek friend from Italy said that the hardest place to meet girls in Europe is easier than America. He's been to America and says this from firsthand testimony. He is the type of guy that hits on lots of girls everywhere he goes. So he should know.
Also, a British guy wrote the same, which I posted, saying that American girls are harder to date than in the UK and less natural.
Why does it matter so much which country has the absolute snottiest and hardest to date girls. All I care about is weather I can get a date with an attractive girl or not. I lived in the UK for over 2 years and travelled extensively throughout western European capitals over a period of 10 - study, touring, and business. I can tell you that in my case, being abroad did not help. I got zero dates there. Gals in western European capitals tend to have very to high standards IMO.
Perhaps if you are reasonably fluent in the proper language and go to the right backwoods rural areas, you might get somewhere. I'll leave that conjecture to locals from the respective countries to expand upon. I don't know and I don't think you do either Winston. But I do believe quite strongly that if you lived an extended period in say Paris or London, you would not have a snowballs chance in hell with the local gals excpet for maybe some of the recent immigrant populations (Africans, Chinese, etc.). Of course you would have to reward them for their company so that does not really qualify.
If I asked you to jump over the Shinkong Mitsukoshi Tower instead of Taipei 101, would your chances of succeeding by better since its a slightly shorter building??? Impossible is impossible.
Rock,
That may be true on the surface. But you are missing something deeper here and forgetting something.
I have a "Euro soul". You don't. You have more of a Chinese/Asian soul.
You see, when someone goes somewhere where their soul is more at home, somehow, the forces of nature are harnessed so that luck, coincidence, chance, karma, and other unseen forces, seem to go that person's way.
This isn't something I can prove scientifically or empirically. But I've seen it happen. Even immigrants with an American soul and American spirit who are average looking suddenly when they are in America, things go their way, as if karma is handing them favors.
Now that doesn't mean that if I have a Euro soul, then Europe will be a dating paradise for me. But when luck, karma and the flow of things moves your way, and you are in your element, you are going to be appear more attractive to others in general, then if you were out of your element.
So you gotta keep in mind that beyond the surface, there are deeper and higher levels of reality, and mysterious forces at work, that we don't understand. Many things are not logical, linear or explainable.
When I was in Russia, I had a synergy and chemistry there that allowed me to meet girls a lot easier than other guys did, even when those guys were better looking and more desirable. So sometimes, when I was with a better looking guy, I would meet all the girls, who would then gravitate toward him. lol
Beyond your looks, over time, who you really are deep down will manifest. So if who I am deep down is a good fit in Europe, and if I have a "Euro soul" like I feel I do, then that will manifest there. And I will be able to attract things there that my looks would not by itself attract. In short, there are simply deeper aspects to things besides the things you quantify on the surface. There are more factors involved beyond whether "my looks cut it or not".
So you gotta take all that into account too, even though it's kind of in a more intangible unquantifiable realm.
Suffice to say, this is perhaps one reason why different people can have totally different experiences in the same culture, even if their looks are on the same attractiveness level. What this means is that just because you had no synergy/chemistry with a culture or its people doesn't mean that I won't, and vice versa. I'm simply not you, and you are not me. No one can accurately predict how something will go for someone else.
