Though I very much admire French, the French-Canadian seem to impress me more than the European French, only judging from experience. Thats not to say they're all bad, or all good, just an opinion.
Maybe it's cuz I love the old romance movies like Three Coins in a Fountain & Dr. Zhivago (sp?). I bet given the chance to fall in love with one, we'd find out they burp & fart as easily & unabashedly as the American guys, and would drive us just as bonkers!!!
Ain't that the truth?! In the past I was sick of ours... went for foreign (far-away foreign, mind ya )... Now I'm thinking the grass was greener 'cause it was over a septic tank, but it's too late... Life...
Well.... I'm going to disagree with most people who say American men are seen as husband material. Of course that's true individually, but the American culture is not very conducive to the "family man". It's live to work, not work to live like in Europe. Some of the sweetest, most polite, and, above all, most INTELLIGENT men I have ever met were in Iceland- either Icelandic men or the Central/Eastern European men studying at the grad school I was taking summer classes at. Give me a Slovenian man any day!
That's probably the best way, and most practical. Relocating to NY is not an option. Don't have that kind of income or cash. I guess I'd like to live in Europe (England) with the love of my life!
European men are generally better raised, more educated and certainly more sophisticated than American men. And I don't mean in the "fine dining" sense, although they certainly are raised with better public etiquette; theirs' is a world where you may easily cross national boundaries to a culture different from your own. Where learning another language is an example of the understanding that you live near other people who are different from you, and you need to get along with them.
Also, European culture just generally provides for better people. I think it has a lot to do with concessions as to social order and "your place" on the ladder. In America, we know we're not supposed to have a social pecking order even though we do, so we make different concessions and as a result, turn out differently.
