People in the north of Germany are known to be close minded and not very kind or well-receiving of strangers.
Where in Germany will you move to?
a good Uni city w/ 25-30,000 students and a straight shot to Berlin on the ICE (end up there or Hamburg within a year or so and commute a few times a week).

I'm 10cm shorter than you (180cm). So I'm that guy you just laugh at. That's a bit harsh, man, judge a man based purely on appearance.
Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't mean to say it like that. What I meant is that most (in my opinion. this is how I experience it) guys who are really buffed up but short ( 1.75 and below) try to look though and strong and act this way (along with a few tats) to compensate their height. In this way their insecurity radiates from them.

I think the main problem here is that most of the sentiments and judgements posted here are based on tourists from certain countries. And depending on where you are, the demographic represented by these tourists changes considerably.
For example, go down to any big Greek party island and the impression you get of the Brits is that they're loud, drunk, obnoxious, and generally stupid. Compare that to the British tourists that you'd see in a city renowned for culture and art like Barcelona and you'd get a completely different type of tourist, and as a result a completely different impression of the Brits.
If I were to generalize based off the type of american tourist that I've encountered, I would describe americans as loud, brash, very beta males, aggressive females, generally unstylish, and with no signs of being in shape. Younger people included. But the fact is that these are only the tourists, and therefore not very representative of the greater country.
I've heard some mention of Dutch tourists being 'beta' or something similar in this thread, and I wouldn't doubt your experiences, but it is extremely unrepresentative of the larger population. The people who travel a lot to exotic destinations represent a very specific subset of the population. There are plenty of boorish, beer-drinking, gym-going dutch guys (very similar to the kind of frat bros you get in the US), but these are just not represented in a lot of these places I've seen being mentioned.
Loving the discussion so far, but I just wanted to stress this factor in determining our perception of countries and their people.

Don't most Euro's have uncircumcized pp's? Put a helmet on those soldiers, boys. Most girls find those ant-eater smegma dicks digusting. USA!
P.S. Figured I'd add to the hilarity of this thread.

Many Europeans consider the typical American macho posturing unsophisticated and primitive. I tend to agree although I prefer it to the straight up feminine Scandinavian culture. But skinny is preferred over roided in Europe and I think that's good. Taking steroids to impress girls to me is very insecure. Wanting to get into fights to prove yourself is also very insecure. Most of all, the intense desire to dominate other men, that seems to be present in some American culture, is very bad for the average male as described already.
But thinking about it, the only people I know who went to Mexico/South America were staunch liberals and weaklings. They're probably there for some deluded Che Guevara fantasy.
