German men

Posted in Germany forum

I'm hearing lots of terrible stories about German men and their lack of romance. Is this true? Anybody got any "real-life experience"? :-)

    I used to work at a travel agency where I met people from worldwide, and of course including my current German boyfriend. Before I met him, I had thought German men are very cold, structural and not as gentle as other countries'. But, he appeared and changed my mind. He's very friendly, caring, intelligent, and serious that we women highly appreciate. He even invited me to visit his family as well as his friends so that I got to know him better. They were all very nice and cared about me. Staying by his side, I never feel depressed. He's the best guy I've met so far, though we're now apart but we're trying to be together soon ^^

    I Agree with Lucy T. I'm married 10 years already with a German man ,we have one kid together, I had many romantic experience with him , but not all the time when he must do his job he quite serious , then holiday time come he can relax.... his romantic send to me come from his heart i can feel that, I'm very happy to live with him ....

    Dear Blizzy,

    I cannot speak for all the other German men out there, but I can assure you that I can be very romantic.
    But it is, sadly enough, very true that we German guys are not the most accomplished men in the world when it comes to showing that.
    My theory is that we learn from a very early age that showing romantic interest in a girl is not a good thing to do, i.e. it is actively discouraged by german women. Flirting is defintely not our national pastime :).
    So be patient with us, we are simply untrained.
    And it is true, if we give compliments, we really, really mean it. That´s because we are afraid we might be subjected to a polygraph test afterwards - which might give you a hint at how german women react to compliments (not all of them, of course).

    Hello A. Barber,

    I'm sorry I just got your response. In fact I had no idea this thread was still up until my email said there was a response to the topic. I often wondered what became of it. Thank you for your reply.

    Well my German and I have become closer of some sorts. We have been talking online and recently on Skpe. He has been showing himself on cam for months now but i was to shy to do so. I finaly revealed myself and he loves it. I will be going to meet him in another month. I'm very nervous but I look forward to seeing if we have chemistry in person and I've always wanted to visit Germany. Particularly Munich, but he doesn't live there so I will be further south west.

    I don't have much experience with Germans or the culture but I hear the food is really good and rich.

    Wish me luck.

    it is really funny and I agree with Wolfgang that all stereotypes are reasonable and the way describing how you'll split the bill is perfect :-)
    about the women here in Germany, I am one of those German Women, you are right if you got their friendship it will be an everlasting friendship till the end of days on this planet and to say it with Goethe "there is no feeling for the friendship, no emotion into a friendship worth it as I realised it in the way "the Germans do"!!!... but you may read it by your own:-)

    Thank you for your lines, making me laugh and giving me a widely smile onto my face. It's simply wonderful !!!
    What an article and what a writer!!!
    My congrats

    I'm married to a german guy, and I can say that I'm lucky. I think it's all depend on the personality and the individuality of one's person.

    Hi Blizzy,
    I just want to drop a line for clarity 1) what did you mean German Men, are you taking about biology or commonly known ( XX (Mother) + XY (Father) of German background or citizens in general ?.2) There is no a standard definition for the word Romanticism.It depends on two individuals not that Folk .So generalizations of the issue is incorrect. One should have to test and live it personaliy .
    Best regards

    there are guys like this everywhere. especially where i live in the US
    and when i went to germany, the FIRST guy i met there
    was the sweetest most amazing guy i have ever ran into.

    and im sure he has his flaws but he just acted different
    then all the other guys i have met.

    but i dont think it is JUST german guys.
    it is all guys, and girls can be pretty bad too
    maybe your just talking to the wrong people
    or running into the wrong guys.

    honestly part of the reason im moving to germany
    is because the guy i met <3

    also. i heard that germans just have a more realistic look on things
    unlike some people in america and other places
    with the cinderella stories and false hopes of romance.
    ive been told the germans think more realistically
    so they dont get heart broken and because they know how the world really is
