My impression of different nationalities (1 Man's biased opinion)

Disclaimer: There is probably no real point to this thread, earlier today at breakfast I was thinking and reflecting on all the different nationalities I've met while traveling and how they differ from each other. I'm sure this thread may rub some the wrong way, offend, and even get voted one star. No offense to anyone, because if anything I've learned that people are people and there are cool ones and shit ones no matter where they are from.

Aussies: I have a pretty unfavorable view of Aussies on a whole. The guys come off as arrogant pricks most of the time, they tend to be really sarcastic to the point of obnoxious. It seems that they are pretty insular and aren't too interested in hanging out with non-Aussies, they seem to have a lot of national pride, but to the point of thinking they are cooler than everyone else. When drinking they can get really smashed, then get loud, obnoxious, and rude. Aussie girls can be hot and have real nice bodies, but typically I'd compare them to American girls, although they tend to be thinner. Aussie chicks don't seem to dig me at all, I've gotten zero interest from them, and it seems that overall they act kind of aloof, with a slightly stuck up attitude.

Israelis: Israelis are interesting because from my experience, they are split down the middle with a real contradictory disposition. Half of the Israelis I meet are utterly annoying, rude, arrogant, and just generally douchey. The other half I have met are some of the coolest, nicest, friendliest and most chilled out of all the people I have met. It's interesting how you can find half of them to be douche-bags and the other half, fucking cool people. I have no real experience with Israeli chicks, the ones I have hung out with weren't very attractive, but overall I'd say they tend to be hot as shit. Tan skin, pretty faces, great bodies... But it seems like they can be a tough nut to crack, especially if you aren't Jewish and are from a Muslim Middle Eastern background like myself. That said, I need to be more proactive and try to approach and meet more Israeli babes. Needless to say avoid topics about politics and religion. Last note, Israelis seem to be pretty insular and typically travel in large packs and stick within their own groups.

Germans: The Germans I have met all speak good English, they are polite and nice, but not very overtly friendly or outgoing. There is something about them, but they come off as kind of cold, and seem almost standoffish, but more I think it's just there culture. They also seem some what socially awkward, but open up once you get to know them and get them into coversation. I have no German flag and little experience with German women, but from what I observe they tend to be either really hot or really average plain Jane types.

Argies and Uruguay people: I lump the Argies with the Uruguayans since they look similar, come from the same region of S. America and seem to have a similar culture. Though, one thing that I have noticed is that the people from Uruguay I have met have all been way cooler than the Argies and way more friendly, laid back, and down to earth. The Argies are kind of like the Israelis in that they tend to either be arrogant pricks or really cool and nice people. Argie guys can be really arrogant and act kind of elitist, they seem to have pretty good game along the lines of the smooth Latin lover archetype, and can be classically handsome, but are usually scrawny emaciated looking fucks who look like they've never picked up a weight in their lives. Argie girls have been written about before, so nothing new to add. I have no Argie flag, but I'd say the women typically are really beautiful, have gorgeous faces, and slender bodies, but lack the banging fat asses that some guys love, which you'll find on Brazilian and other Latina women. Argie chicks tend to be somewhat stuck up, standoffish, and are notorious for being hard to hook up with.

Brittish: Generally I've had good experience with the Brittish, they tend to be pretty laid back, have a pretty funny, crude, and non-pc sense of humor. The guys may be guilty of drinking a bit too much and getting annoying, but otherwise they are funny and fun to hang out with. I have my Brittish flag and it´s been well documented that they are easy to lay, which after dealing with a lot of B.S. from other chicks, is fine by me.

South Koreans and Japanese: I have a very unfavorable view of South Koreans, maybe it´s all just cultural differences, but I have found them to be cold, rude, standoffish, unfriendly, and at times straight up obnoxious. On the other hand, the Japanese travelers I meet are more of the alternative hippy types and tend to be way more chilled out, unique, cool and friendly. No experience really with either of their women, but it sounds like Japanese chicks are way more DTF, friendly, and fun to hang out with.


I could go on and break down my impressions of a bunch of other peoples, but that´s just a sample slice of the most common nationalities that I have met traveling. Obviously, I could break down American and Canadians, plus a heap of other people, but I think I touched on the countries I've encountered the most and the ones that have made the greatest impressions on me.

If anyone disagrees or has anything to add or subtract, or differing impressions or experiences please I´d be curious to hear.

Definitely agree with the German one. Girls just seem detached if you don't speak German, even if they speak perfect English. It may just be a cultural thing, but they are quite cold if you don't know them that personally.

Some are very shy, while others can get quite crazy and drink a lot. But the girls aren't the most feminine.

I'll add something.

French- It varies drastically if they're from within Paris or outside of Paris. Parisians tend to be aloof and a bit stuck up, because they have developed the "Western Girl" attitude (too many IPhones). Meanwhile, girls from the countryside are some of the sweetest, most feminine girls. Even though they tend to be a bit timid if you don't know French, you can pass with your English skills. The guys there are pretty cool, one of my best friends is French and all the French guys I've met are relatively similar to him.

Word of warning though, both French and Germans are quite insular if they find other French and German people.

I can see why you would think that way about Aussies. I lived there for many years.

They do have a lot of national pride but not anything I haven't seen in a lot of Americans. Well, besides the drunk oi, oi, oi chanting they like to do. It really never annoyed me so much as made me laugh.

I think the obnoxiousness is more their way of joking.

I remember sitting in a bar with a friend having a few beers and watching a cricket match when I lived there. Some guy next to our table heard my accent and started busting my balls about baseball. I just gave him back some shit about cricket and we all ended up laughing about it. If I wouldn't have known better, I would have thought he was an asshole but he was actually a pretty cool guy.

I have to say that women from Anglosaxon countries (English, Australian) very often like the primitive village Balkan look (tall,athletic guys with primitive manners).I suppose they connect them with good sexual performance and they are notorious for coming to islands just for sex and skipping their blunt boyfriends back home (in Australia,UK).I doubt however that Australian girls make a big deal out of it like British girls who can brag about their amount of holiday sex partners.

Aussies and Isralies: A mixed bunch of folks. I've met some amazing people form both of these races/demographics. I must say though, almost all of the ones I met were heavy into the drugs. Every Aussie I have met is down with the Coke and Most of the Israelies I met were into pyschodelic shit like lsd and shrooms. No offence to anybody, just my observations.

I don't know about the Aussies being into drugs, although maybe they like coke and more party drugs. I personally am a life long conneseiur and afficiando of the good green, and I've met dozens if not close to a hundred Aussies while traveling and I've met only two that were into smoking weed. I was just in Puerto Escondido surrounded by Aussies and none of them were into toking, I thought with the whole surfer thing it'd be a part of their culture, but I guess not. They all seem to fear to good herb, may be their country took a page from the 1980's US playbook and instilled some kind of hardcore DARE propeganda.

Your observation on Israelis seems to be in step with mine, but the thing is that most Israelis who travel are more of the hippy types, or in combination with having just finished their military service and wanting to let lose, party, and experiment with drugs. I doubt that your mainstream Israeli person has too much in common with the ones who travel to India, Thailand, or Central America.

In my experience, Israeli girls are very open to other ethnicities, both in Israel (Tel Aviv specifically) and in the US. They're more into me than American Jews, and I've never had a problem picking up American Jewish chicks.

I'm not white, at least not by American standards, and I definitely don't look Middle Eastern. I have lightly tanned skin, dark hair and dark eyes.

This is how guys "shit test" each other. It's universal but maybe it is more prevalent in Anglo influenced countries on the outer edges of the empire since I get more than the usual dose of this type of conversation in South Africa as well. So it doesn't surprise me to hear that it's popular in Australia as well. Just serve it right back, without being mean, and you usually have no problems. Maybe even make a new friend.

You may be right about the herb, but I'll tell you what, they sure love their blow, even though it can sell for upwards of $300 a gram there.

OG, aus, brits, irish etc all have a very sarcastic 'take the piss' perhaps cheeky sense of humor, they mean nothing of it, i lived in america and canada for quite a while, i found americans would have a laugh 'take the piss' but most of the time the canadians thought i was being serious, so in the end i stopped it there. One thing about aussies you must remember is there are many subtle subcultures here like anywhere else, though we dont tend to segregate ourselves in such an outright way as say a posh brit might. The load arrogant ones are just dum yobbos most often, I would often here them at the hostels i was staying at and cringe. It is kind of like is you met a few americans with the homboy type vibe/swag, like yo wat up dog, want to bounce to the crib later etc etc and think that all american are like this.

Most importantly i don't think you ca generalize to much with western cultures as they are all controlled by the media so much. Much easier to generalize with say, Chinese, Indians etc.

I also find Japanese travelers more friendly and definitely have more of an alternative hippie vibe, as you say. I'm of mixed (Caucasian/Asian) race, and for some reason they find that interesting. In fact, I think they have somewhat of an inferiority complex toward whites and Western culture. It's ironic since Japan is a major superpower itself (in terms of $$, economic power). On the other hand, Koreans tend to be more proud and serious (about life, outlook, how they behave, etc). Understandable given their country's serious situation with North Korea, history, etc.

I'll add some:

Finns: My favorite people, personally. Just so many positive qualities you can throw in to describe them - intelligent, interesting people to strike up conversation with, friendly and curious about other cultures. Very chill & relaxed (similar to Swedish culture perhaps). They don't try to impress people like Anglo culture. On the other hand, sometimes i find some Finns very moody and sarcastic. I find this to be common among Nordic people in general, from my experience. The interesting part is that I've never experienced that in person but they often do that when communicating online. Also, I find Finns to be the most patient people (even among Scandinavians). They have somewhat of a perfectionist attitude in doing work or completing tasks. They may take all the time on their hands to finish something, whether it's completing a task or explaining something difficult). An animal i would pick to describe Finns, in that sense, would be a bear...

Swedes: I guess i'll get shredded by Vicious for doing this here [Image: biggrin.gif] Actually, I don't have that much experience with Swedes but i definitely see that there are remnants of Swedish culture that influence Finnish culture. There are a lot of similarities. I expected Swedes to be cold and aloof, but i was surprised to find that they're chill, nice people (duh, perhaps because I was there during the summer). I really liked the "Fika" culture - very chill, relaxed, and i was surprised to find them open to meeting strangers. Also, compared to Danes, Swedes are definitely more international and outgoing. One more thing i'd add is that, Swedes seem to have a love affair with Thai culture. There are Thai restaurants everywhere lol Oh, another thing that's interesting is that there seem to be some complex relationship between being proud and at the same time being humble among Swedes.

Danes: I'm getting redundant since i'm essentially describing "Nordic culture," but the thing about Danes is that their language is the ugliest sounding. It gets clear as you cross the border between Sweden and Denmark. They sound like they have a potato in their mouth. Anyway i think there's sufficient description of Denmark in this forum by Roosh and others. I actually found them to be most outgoing at night. I won't say anything about Danish girls (i personally liked Finns), but Danes in general seem to be fun-loving people. Another interesting observation is that, if Swedes are in love with Thai culture, the Danes seem to love Japanese culture.

Austrians: Very friendly vibe, at least from my experience. Also, a bit of a player vibe among some Austrian men, lol maybe roosh forum members in there). Friendly girls as well. One would expect Austrians to be like Germans, but Austrians are more Latin-like (as in Latin-Europe like Italy, Greece, etc). They're not the most punctual people unlike Germans, and more relaxed in their way of life. Austrians were a pleasant surprise and i tend to get along with people with relaxed vibe. This is counter-intuitive, but they actually remind me of Finns in that nature-loving, relaxed way.

Dutch: Personally, i found more Dutch to be a bit stuck up. Maybe it's just the people i've met. The ones i met were very career-minded and also status-conscious, similar to the Anglo culture. This is in contrast with the Scandinavians, even though some people lump the Dutch together with the "Northern Europeans". On the other hand, they're also very outgoing and international-minded like the Swedes too. Dutch girls are unfortunately also more like the Anglo girls (than other Europeans i mentioned). Anyhow, they're very down to party and having fun.

I definitely relate to this. I used to live with a German chemistry masters student, he was similar to how you described. A little standoffish, but not threatening or with bad intent.
