As a matter of fact, France has one of the best health care systems in the world-where here in the USA, 44 million people have no health insurance.
French culinary is one of the best in the world- Usually, when I go to France, the first thing I do is, I go to a grocery store and buy some cheese, you can buy great cheese anywhere in France for 3-4 euros, real cheese, not this crappy fake cheese we have here in the US.
French wine is also one of the best in the world. In addition, there is very little crime in most places, even in larger cities like Paris, Marseilles and Lyon- the crime rate is at least 5 times lower than in any American city of same size.
I would not call France, my favorite place in the world but to call them "useless" is a bit ignorant
This article deserves not one, or a double but a triple eye-rolling.
Just another case of "the grass is greener on the other side."
I don't understand why some people are trying to turn us in Europe (no offense to Europeans, but our cultures are just different).
France also has a "low" divorce rate because they have a low marriage rate, among the lowest in the world. They also marry late. However, I have heard that a large percentage of their marriages still do end in divorce though.
Q: How should American women approach dating if they’d like to be more successful in love, just as French women are?
A: I think American women should ponder the points above and try to listen as much as possible to their own intuitions and inner voices, which is what I believe French women are exceptional at doing. I also think they should challenge all the dating and love advice thrown their way, and other cultural assumptions that are not particularly life-affirming or that don’t jibe with their own world view. Whatever American women can do to be more defiantly self-possessed and free will help them be more successful in love.
The former is good (and obvious) advice, while the latter (after where world view is mentioned) is flat out bad advice.
Essentially it asks American women to listen to themselves and embrace their femininity, while simultaneously asking them to espouse a world view that has shaped them to reject it.

'OMG they don't marry when they are 20! Our purpose is to be married and have 15 children.'

The United States is the only "civilized" country in the world where you still have such outdated, archaic, religion based 18th Century "family values" Most European countries don't give a crap about religion because they realized it is all BS about 50 years ago.
Maybe the authority of results? Mostly the French don't elect themselves to tell us anything. America ranks at the bottom in all social metrics precisely because of the attitude you have, i.e. "we don't need your stinking advice". Clearly we do.
So they got results, big deal. I'm sure the Spanish and Italian women could go around handing out unwarranted advice as well. Usually when people want to help they don't look down their noses at others, but that's just how I see it ..... The attitude I have is that most of the women here didn't ask them, if you want to follow what French women tell you -- knock yourself out. So clearly you need the advice and want it, so take it. As for ME again, I don't care.
Me too. How many time have we heard about a women's "list" on here.
