Isn't the answer to this question always going to be "YES" (mature, conversation)

But at the same time, there are international versions of rednecks and wingnuts everywhere. There's been a lot of news out of France, for example, about homophobic protests and anti-Muslim prejudice, so even moving to Paris doesn't put anyone in a progressive cocoon.
Presently, the racism prevalent in Asia and Europe makes any racist in the US look like a bunch of boy scouts.
Try traveling around a poor Southeast Asian country big on tourism with an Asian-American friend if you're white and see how your friend is as good as invisible there.
I have traveled and met some nice people from France, Norway and Netherlands.
At a macro level, the culture in the US towards minorities is much more favorable, welcoming and open.
Yeah - when you are 22 and just out of college - you really haven't had the time to travel on your own. Then again, I still travel with my mom a lot - we make great travel companions!
And also when you're 22, where you went to college and stories from high school are still big conversation topics. I'm in my mid-30s and I'd be put off by a guy who was still telling stories about high school exploits. That's almost as bad as talking about snacks.

Ah, England. Where "maths" is plural and "sport" is singular.
If you love the US so much - why are you putting on British airs? I just don't get it... We don't say that over here - and even if someone has been to England - they don't necessarily change their vernacular afterwards.

Bwahahahaha!!! I can't even imagine.
By the way, fleetie, what snacks do you like? And where do you like to shop?
WPDude, you've come up with some pretty weird questions, yourself. "Are you a person who snacks?" You ask women this?! "Shopping preferences"? I don't even know what that means, but it sounds very boring. And both those questions sound oddly invasive. For all we know, there are women on a another relationships forum writing about you and your odd questions. It's unusual that you don't ask about a person's job, too. That's usually the first thing strangers ask each other, if making small talk at a party or some other social context.
I agree with this. Unfortunately, few men are interested in women's take on life, or their deeper thoughts.
Maybe there's just not that many men who think deeply, haha.
OK eliminate the snack question but other than that those are the things we should be discussing until the first date
But this board is headquartered in AMERICA! Use AMERICAN English! What, are you a monarchist? How unpatriotic! If you want to use British English, GO LIVE IN ENGLAND!
P.S. You mean "It's British." If you are that well-versed in the English language, you know that the contraction for "it is" is "it's."
