Sometimes he seems to be so cold and stand-offish, but then dating french men custodes he says the most sincere, most heart warming things. So relax and enjoy the show :- As for French men. Hi, I just had to add my comment because I want to talk about some of my experiences. Yes the language is lovely. Owing to their heightened tolerance of pungent smells, I think they are less bothered by aromatic underarm odors have you been on the RER, post work. French men have very good taste in women, and they really know how to seduce. Accidental because of his looks. La fin Generally speaking, we gusto the grass is always greener and we tend to over-mystify other cultures. She also speaks five different languages and French isn't the most exotic of them. He doesn't follow football.

How did he do it? The women are comfortable in their bodies, which automatically makes them sexier. I'm married to a Korean guy and it's different in many ways to dating British guys. The kindest, sweetest, smartest man ever.

Gay Dating - That usually is enough to make my state of mind really clear.

About the men as well as the women being - how can I say, somewhat holier than thou, sexier, better lovers, well cultured, better dressed, cooler, whatever? To prove my point, we need to look at some of the French idols, movie stars etc. The good old bad-boy? Whatever it was, it was obviously enticing. Just ask the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. Surely not for the cigarette- breath-smooch-fest? Au contraire, his bad boy ways, outrageous behaviour and self-deprecation probably helped. Women love funny guys. What about Gerard Depardieu? Rough around the edges, like a cheap Cotes du Rhone — he nonetheless managed to seduce the stunning Carole Bouquet and Karine Silla to name a few. How did he do it? Accidental because of his looks. Heartthrob because of his acting ability. The list goes on, but you get my point right? These men are far from being the prize catch in the looks department, so what is it about them that makes women swoon? Myth Number 2: French men know how to dress Ok, there are basically 3 different types of French dude. In my opinion, the interesting ones, like the artists etc dress in a pretty grungy way, and look like they picked up the first thing they found on the floor that morning - or got dressed in the dark more likely. Flat, conservative and blah. Myth number 3: They have a good sense of smell I read somewhere that in terms of perfume, the French are skilled like no other in determining what is what. What are they, dogs??? Must admit, I prefer the latter. They have no idea. Off course, there are always exceptions to this rule but you need to be lucky to find one. Myth number 5: They strictly inspect your weight and expect you to be thin. Hmmm…not sure about this one. But to better understand the French male, one must look at the French woman. How refreshing is that? To be fair, European women are no strangers to plastic surgery and botox, but they are not as obsessed about eradicating their wrinkles as some of their sisters in other parts of the world - preferring to let nature take its course and to concentrate instead on preserving their silhouettes via exercise and a sensible diet. The women are comfortable in their bodies, which automatically makes them sexier. Political Incorrectness They smoke, they ogle, they wolf-whistle and dare to cross some lines of what is considered polite and correct public behavior. A lot of people and women who are not of the same culture seem to take offense at this forthrightness. Beaucoup de Charme French men seem to have plenty of this stuff on tap. Une peu de Romance? Mais oui, bien sure!!! Direct Some may misconstrue this as being rude, but I find it refreshing. Usually the men make the first move in asking you out on a date. All you have to do is say yes or no. Passionate Well this goes hand in hand with not being afraid of girls, and knowing how to handle them. I understand that some people are shy when it comes to anything involving the opposite sex, but it certainly helps when at least one partner is less awkward. Know what I mean? Open Some may say the French are bit too open, which calls into question, the stereotype of all French men having a mistress. Perhaps even better: Accent Tick! My husband makes a lot of mistakes when he speaks English. Once upon a time when I was into detail I used to correct him. Compliments Bring them on, I say. La fin Generally speaking, we think the grass is always greener and we tend to over-mystify other cultures. Fundamentally, the world is much rounder than we think and people are pretty much the same all over. It's no myth that these exceptionally fortunate women acheive them based on alot more than just their extraordinary female endowments and a cute coincidence of knowing French as a second language or at least being willing to start learning it. This cult within the world of dating and romance, disregarding the current political climate, puts a premium on strictly French national origin to match the heritage of the woman being American. This is so much so that one could surmise that a pure French nobleman of today who takes preference for American women automatically qualifies to marry a female descendant of, for example, one of the signers of the Declaration Of Independence, and vice versa. Of course, this was and still is VERY appealing to many American women who consider themselves patriots at heart. To the disgust and disdain of the British, the French accent became particuliarly alluring to the ears of American patriots, no less for American men hearing a French woman's accent than for American women hearing a French man's accent. Given the great Victory at Yorktown as the most glorious manifestation, Gallic charm to Americans is its own symbol of why we have Americans dating and especially marrying French as considered the extreme of Francophilism in American culture. It's obviously contrary to the trend of French-bashing. From what I've noticed while examining the tastes of the American expatriates who live in France, American women interested in French men far outnumber American men interested in French women, and you don't have to be a historian to figure out why. This movie might as well be a DAR promotional tale except for the fact that the American woman in the story does not fawn over and pursue the stunningly handsome Frenchman at first until after he has wooed her to initiate the relationship himself. Surprisingly, the story lacks the realistic factor of other eligible American women competing with her or trying to compete with her for his attention and affection. Also, the movie ignores how the tremendous difficulty associated with what it takes from the American person's end to be in the position of getting married to the French person who is still a citizen of France. In real life, the French spouse is, by anyones standards, the prize, the trophy. Well, those are my insights on the subject of dating Frenchmen, and all from a patriotic American standpoint untainted by revisionism. I'm off to design my Colonial Williamsburg-style charm and wardrobe so that I may become counted among the privileged few who actually attain romance with a Frenchman!! Maybe my mother counts, her half of the family traces back to pre-Revolution and she has a strange attraction towards French men. She also speaks five different languages and French isn't the most exotic of them... I'm kind of the runt of the group, in that I currently only have one nationality and am really fluent in only one language; but I'm also the only one to be involved with a French guy. I put up with him being a jerk because he's really cool despite all the Frenchness, and he puts up with me being a touchy difficult pain in the butt regardless of where I'm from. I'm the first American woman he's ever gone out with; he tried to date other American women when he first moved to the states, but doesn't like the American attitude and appearance at all. His general impression of American women is somewhat less than flattering. He teases me, he says he's with me because I act more French than I do American. So, well, I don't think you can generalize a LaFayettian romantic fantasy out of the thing. My French guy likes me because of who I am, not because of some historical-fiction mystique. Now that I see an all-American has included the hint of being married to a Frenchman, how 'bout the topic of what the process of becoming eligible for that status is like? Seems like there's no shortage of American women myself amongst them who are completely and totally saving themselves for 100% purely French husbands. As a not particuliarly well-endowed woman, I've especially noticed that most American wives of Frenchman are alot prettier than me. I try not to think it's coicidence. Maybe there actually IS a certain type that's considered good-looking enough to qualify to attract a French guy regardless of how great or good-looking the guy is, or how much money he has, for that matter. However, looks are not enough to go through the process of getting qualified to actually marry one. There are civil and legal barriers that must be overcome, which renders the soon-to-be-married Yankee Doodle love interests of the French guys even luckier, with all bragging rights that they successfully attained the eligibility. Not every American person can handle the hassles of the French bureaucracy. I heard it's not for the faint-hearted. I used to think just learning the language, appreciating the culture, and being an overall friendly, well-mannered, and ladylike as well as loving to dress nice American charmeuse would be sufficient. I discovered from research that this it is not. From that, there's the conclusion that the French guy better be worth the hard work of getting married to him, and the American wife may probably need to go through the toil of moving to France and be willing to deal with the ramifications of living there in order to stay married to him, like it or not. Above all, I concluded that when alot but not all single American women who move to France do so first having marriage to Frenchmen on the agenda from the start, and mix that aspiration in with other niceties of French culture, alongside having an occupation that facilitates contact with French people in general. And for demographic reasons, American women who are romantically involved with Frenchmen for marriage while still in the States are the most fortunate of all. Many of these women are high acheivers to begin with, but mostly it's all positioning and luck, even more than physical beauty, personal monetary wealth, or how well you speak French as a second language. Platt's book for some reason tends to put emphasis on how wonderful the women are, and not so much on how hard it is to get through the process of becoming the legally-married American wife of a Frenchman. I had to research the expat blogs to find out the rest. It sounds very, VERY complicated. I have found reading this information particularly helpful today after a very heated and hot headed discussion with my fiancee of 3 years. My french man in particular ticks all of the above boxes and then some with his military background adding to his stubborness and ever increaseing certainty that his opinion is above all else the correct one. Despit this I would be hard pushed to find someone as passionate and loyal as my huband to be. As for the accent, well ladies there is nothing in our house that breaks off an argument more effectively that him finishing off a rant in french. I go weak at the knees and submit instantly. The only advise that I would give if you are head over heels for the french man that you are with is to pick your battles carefully. Many a time have I submitted to an argumment but as he tells me there is nothing as attractive as a woman who knows her mind. French women themselves can be equally as passionate and stubborn.
