For the record, the words American and bash were from an earlier post. :-)

Bottom line, every country has scammers, loud, brash people. They also have their own vernacular. You say tomato, I sat tomahto. Who cares? :-)

American bashing. Wow. There's even a book. As an American living in Europe, I find this thread interesting.

Scammers are everywhere. Anyone who isn' t cautious today on the internet is foolish. I think it's just that simple.

I appreciate different cultures and am respectful. But I love my own too. There's something to be said for every country and bashing doesn't create understanding.

Hysterical on the smelly butt clip Soufie. Lol...

Mightymoe, could you post the link for the monkey clip? Thanks!

A goofy ense of humor that makes me laugh. Conversation from the silly to the serious. Intelligence for sure. Passion for something in life. I like a sweet, thoughtful guy that is charming in his own way. Physically, hands and eyes.

This is why people should take their time. I don't see her as an "older woman" if she was your age. She had responsibilities and some emotional baggage. It was your choice to give her money. Sometimes, friendship develops over time instead of attraction or romance. Some of my closest friends were men I dated but did not become romantic with. Cut your losses and move on. Next time, don't give more than you are willing to lose. Romance is a gamble and that' t the nature of it. I'm sure the answers were there but you chose to ignore them.

OMG, hysterical. I love the cat's expression. Time for some foot spray? Lol...

Glad to see it's up there on the lists. :-) Thank you!

And how important is intelligence?

I prefer men my own age. I've dated older and younger. I seem to click more with guys from my generation. But I don' t knock it whatever the reason for dating younger. Conversations are more of a challenge though. I like a seasoned man personally.

Too funny. Lol...Cattle prods?

Too funny. Lol

Go for it! I had a friend whose boyfriend had one after he keep nagging her. She preferred a razor and insisted he do it once for the experience. After one bikini and chest wax, he told her he would never ask her again for a leg and bikini wax. Lol...He broke out in a horrible rash and got a fever. Try it once and see if it is worth it to you. :-)

Love it Pacific Star. You go! :-)

It seems like a generational preference. I'm not into hairless men personally unless they are body builders or athletes where it is necessary. One poster says the more women have matured (herself included), their taste in men has widened. I'm not sure I get that but ok. But, if young men want to torture themselves by having a full body wax, more power to them. :-) If anything, they'll understand what women endure.

No. Lol...I think they actually like us here. :-)

There are but we're all spread out living in Italian communities.

Thanks for the welcome! Not the movies but it is gorgeous here. :-) I still like to get my American on sometimes though. I miss the language and humor of home sometimes.

Tuscany. I am deeply immersed in Italian culture but would like to connect with some other expats here.



Thanks!

My vote is for a hairy chest. There is too much manscaping going on these days. :-) Overplucked eyebrows etc.
