Jeebus no, who thought german women to be submissive. They are very orderly, controlling and often a bit emotionless.

There are some good lookers in germany, but it's not where I would go.

Well, if I have to be perfectly honest, one of the reasons I'm here is that I used to be sick of the local men back home... Soooo, yeah... you're right. I still find men from some (not all by any means!) foreign countries way more exciting at least for flings if not more palatable for marriages, though.

I looked for foreign men online, found one and married him. 10 years ago. Happy.

I guess, I am interested in knowing more about German culture because my mother found a great German husband and I am curious about how people "date" and meet each other in other countries. Sometimes, I think "dating" as we know it is more of an American concept but I don't know how people do it in Europe because "dating" the American way is all I have ever done and it does not seem to be working for a lot of folks out there
"Dating" as americans do it, is generally not the custom in many other first world countries.

American dating is very formal and it all revolves around putting women on a pedestal and courting them with displays of dining and gifts and it is all very businesslike and structured. American women are also rather lazy as well. Many first world foreign women are much more direct and easy going and things like sex are not some big dramatic drama.

Sometimes gems are found in unexpected places. New Zealand for instance is a hotbed for young travelers so I have had plenty of fun with busty swedish and danish backpackers on the South Island.

But it varies from country to country so I always recommend where ever you go, have a detailed understanding of the culture and especially the dating culture and how it works. Yes there are many differences from place to place, so do the research.

Basically having the experiences I had, some good, some bad too, I'd say overall I can't see myself marrying an american woman. I'd rather save my money to travel than on a series of dates with american women.

If anything get out and get some overseas experience and see what you think and how it goes. There is no harm at all in doing that.

My dating experiences have been so frustrating and no offense to American women, but it is very hard to find women in this country who are not overweight or mentally unstable, or both.

My stepfather is German, my mother speaks decent German and although I never thought about dating or marrying a German girl, I am thinking about going there this Summer for a week, just for fun

I am aware of all the cultural differences and I know Germany is no paradise but comparing an average German girl to an average American woman is hmm, not a fair comparison. I think it would be neat to find a girl who could speak to my Mom and stepfather in German.

Anyways, I wonder if someone guys might have had good experiences with foreign women.
I never dated any women overseas but have dated Asian, Italian and Hispanic in the states. Germany would be interesting as I am mostly of German and English decent. I can't speak a word of German language though. Only firearm, knives and weapon related words!LOL...... Here is a German rocker to pump you up. I can't understand what they are saying but the guitar and beat is cool!LOL.......

Ay-ya-ya, that pathetic pipe dream of finding submissive women God knows where...
Either that or him staying with a manipulative western girl. There are all kinds of women here and there but culture DOES play a role in someone's upbringing.

Everybody seems to accept women putting men under observation, testing them, letting them be the spenders, enjoy chivalry from a man, blah blah blah. But have a guy say he wants to experience a woman (from another culture, for example) who will do those things that are not common from what he accustomed and all of a sudden that guy is no good?

If western women want guys that do all those things that we have already talked about, let them be. Not everybody agrees with that. If a man wants a woman, in this case, from overseas, who has the possibility of being different than western woman then why can't we accept that as well?

I married a wonderful lady from oversea's. We met right here on CD about 3 years ago. I wasn't looking for a woman from oversea's, but thats who I met and eventually married. Keep in mind you'd be dealing with a long distance relationship. Thats plays a huge factor as well as having the income to fly over or fly her over every couple months or so. Then...if it does come to marriage...you'd have to play the immigration game. And that is no picnic.

Me thinks you enjoy the no conversation part....

To the OP: If you want to find a woman of character then go to where they are. You local shelter, political action group, or some other volunteer activity. A series of one nighters will only cause your heart to harden. Then when the right one comes along you might not be open to them. Good luck. BTW I have been married 27 years and met hubs in Germany...
