This must be the follow up to "why french women don't get fat" or whatever , I read awhile ago. Who cares what French women are doing? They're always electing themselves to tell other women "how they should be or what they're doing wrong," based on what authority, I don't know.

Hay, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just putting the info out there.

I'm more in the Doll Eyes school of thought, and stuff like this gets an eye roll from me.

I'd love to visit France..not so sure if I'd want to live the life of a French woman though. I've read in more than one place that they are encouraged to quit breastfeeding very early(or not do it at all) as to not distract from the needs of their partner...how strange.

Coming from the French, I'd assume they were discussing the merits and joy of dating AFTER marriage...as long as it's discreet.

I've been to France dozens of times and never liked it, except for the CĂ´te d'Azur. I'm not a fan of many (not all) of the French people either. My husband speaks fluent French without any accent and they're still mostly rude and arrogant. Again, I have met some wonderful French people, invariably outside of Paris.

In any case, most American men who don't travel to France will never have sex with a French woman. So the whole thread is moot. If you want to get with a French girl, move over there.

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.

It's actually an insightful article, if you actually bother to read it and try to understand it.

C'est vrai. (It's true.)

Or one could also say c'est *****. What I dislike about such artcles is that we're treating everone in each culture as if they behave the same way. Such an article is just silly speculation at best..and can't be proven with any sort of "metrics".
