Flirting Habits of the Male
At the urging of la mia amica royal_spice, I will now pontificate upon the topic of the flirting habits of the American male vs. those of the Italian male.
The typical American male has a rather large & delicate ego, coupled with a subtle misogynistic leaning. If he sees a female he likes the look of, generally he will look away and pretend not to notice. Unless of course, her breasts are exposed. On the other hand, the more crass members of the species may yell something rude from across the street or from a passing vehicle. Usually an approach of this type is only presented when there is no chance in hell that the female will respond, or be available for conversation. The typical single American male sees women as mere objects w/ which to vent their sexual fantasies upon, they do not appreciate the female as an embodiment of beauty, as does the ubiquitous Italian papagallo.
The American male also does not feel it necessary to dress himself in a pleasing way, so as to attract the atttention of the female. Instead, he requires only the female to primp and preen herself to please him, while he does not reciprocate, and indeed finds perverse pride in his slovenly appearance. I fear that eons of biological precedent are breaking down in an unnatural reversal of roles in America... It is a sad affair and I wonder how the species will manage to continue...
Meanwhile, the typical Italian male, resplendent in his stylish garments and meticulously coiffed hair, appreciates the female as an object of inherent beauty-- not unlike an artistic masterpiece, or the incarnation of Divine Beauty-- not merely something with which to moisten his prick. It is true that they generally wish to move past the looking phase of courtship to the screwing phase, but many a uomono will take much pleasure simply in regarding the face and body of the female. They react to said feminine beauty with courteous murmurings of "ciao bella!" which charmingly translates as "hello, beautiful!" They may at times approach a particularly pleasing female and engage her in polite conversation, or perhaps begin spouting flattering poetry immediately... This is by no means offensive to the female. While she may consider this approach quite forward, she will usually blush and giggle, perhaps hiding her pleasure with a bit of teasing and coquetry. But the fact remains that she has been made to feel beautiful and attractive, desirable and even visible.
Admittedly, there are many exceptions to either of these stereotypes... I have, on occasion, been approached by an American male acting in the typical Italian fashion. If he was attractive to me, I received his charms and began a courtship. If I did not find him physically pleasing, I still received his charms with gratitude and perhaps began a friendship. (Courteous American males are an extremely rare species & should treated with care, lest they die out completely.) On the other hand, I also have received an email just this morning from a 22 year old Napolitano acting in the crass "American" fashion, simply writing "do you want to fuck with me?" But I *have not* witnessed an Italian man, who, when caught admiring me, has looked away & pretended he did not see me. This, mainly, is the approach to which I take the most exasperation. For if you lay your eye on a thing of beauty, do you not wish to know its details? Do you not wish to examine it more closely, to see if the beauty runs throughout? Do you not wish to bring it into your life and take continued joy from it? What is wrong with American men?
a further caveat:
Much can also be said of the deplorable flirting habits of the typical American female, but as I am a rather unusual member of that species, I do not feel I would be able to present an accurate and objective case on said topic. I respectfully leave that to the males.
