We're talking about western culture.

Those cultures had been in the very west.

I just took a look at your profile; you seem to be very sympathetic, so you erroneously assumed that.

Excuse me for teasing you a little bit; of course, I exactly know what you mean.

People generally like nice people regardless where they came from.
Those who are loud, rude, demanding, obscene, ill-mannered or demeaning - not so much.
It goes both ways...

I generally agree with this, but even loud, rude, demanding, obscene, ill-mannered and demeaning individuals can be cooperative and functional when it comes to practical matters of mutual benefit, at least for a time being ... and life is a series of short runs. So.

Do Americans principally like Europeans, and do Europeans principally like Americans?

I have citizenship of both the US and a European country, and have lived in both, and several others, for significant periods of time, in a series of short runs.

In my experience I have casually observed that the vast majority of humans, including Americans and Europeans, focus the vast majority of their own energies on their own daily lives, in a series of short runs.

Do Americans principally like Europeans, and do Europeans principally like Americans?

Yeah, sure, why not? Unless there's a specific reason for not liking a particular individual at a given point in time.

Of all the Europeans whom I have known, I cannot say that I've harbored a particular dislike for any one of them for no particular reason for any lengthy period of time.

Of all the Americans whom I have known, I cannot say that I've harbored a particular dislike for any one of them for no particular reason for any lengthy period of time.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

I guess if we ever thought about Europeans, we'd probably vaguely like them. Unless they acted like jerks.

Beyond the superficial nature of this topic, there’s another interesting thing to consider. When the US declared independence, it did so in part as a rejection of European ideals, especially those concerning monarchy and feudalism.
