The cool thing about French girls is they flirt with you and pretty much game you if they're attracted to you. This may be why the French underperform in military conflicts, their men are sexually satisfied and don't feel frustration/outward aggression.

Likewise, countries that we typically associate with historical military aggression like the US, Japan, Germany, the Arab world etc. are places where women aren't quick to give it up, or choose only the top tier men, resulting in a surplus of sexually frustrated guys and insecure men with violent predispositions.

I know this is a side-note to the convo, but...

A pretty little lie is still that, a pretty little lie.

The last line of defense against slooty women was removed. Apparently this also being contemplated in Germany.

Abso-fucking-lutely disgusting.

Another post said New Zealand bans it (without mom's approval).

Two things:
Can someone provide a list of countries where the alleged father can't get a paternity test?

Also, I know this is bad for dudes living in their country of origin. Is it bad for travelers and expats? Seems like it would encourage chics to bang strangers and foreigners.

Oh Veloce, trust me, I love French women too and reading Krauser's recent book, he obviously likes them too.

Great post there by Steve, it's exactly how I feel about them.

(Aaron Clarey complained about this during his road trip in Switzerland.) This is normal, because food is not supposed to taste that good. American food is artificially flavored to taste great, which encourages overeating and obesity.

This is a taste thing. After a long time in a country with a more natural food supply, artificially flavored food begins to taste too... well, too much. Too salty, too sweet, almost like something for children.

I remember a meal at some middle-America chain, like maybe the Cheesecake Factory or something, that I had right after flying into Los Angeles* after a long time in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans.

It was not nourishing. Imagine the sensation you would feel if, after a long day and a killer workout, you were starving. Your body was calling out for nutrients. Unfortunately, all you could find were Doritos and gummy bears, and though you ate them until you were full it was with the sick realization that you weren't getting what you needed, that you were tricking your brain.

It was a pasta dish and it was almost like that.

(* a great food city, but not because of the goddamned Cheesecake Factory)

Here's my favorite France story.

As the Allies were advancing across Europe, there was a debate: should they liberate Paris? Some Generals said no, Paris is irrelevant and will lose us time against the Russians, but they were overruled. It was inconceivable to the American public, even during that war, to not save Paris.

As the American soldiers drove into Paris, dirty, beaten, exhausted, the Parisian families came out of their apartments and invited the men in. They were given baths, pampering, food, and if possible a daughter to sleep with, in the master bedroom with glowing approval. Those men had grown up in the Depression and had little experience with women, so needless to say, there were plenty of post-war marriages between Frenchwomen and American soldiers.

Moral of story: France and America are family, they bicker a lot but that's normal. Remember that Napoleon gave America the Mississippi. Hard to overlook a gift like that.

The ill effect of Americanization can be seen with the once sexy singer Alizée. Perhaps she's an exception, and she was born in Corsica if that makes any difference, but it's sad nonetheless.

Here she is before tattoos

   

   

And after tattoos

Would bang, but I'd find it hard not to laugh at her stupid tattoos.

I am not Super anti-tattoo, but those are some horrendously shitty tattoos. Wow.

I think that less is more when it comes to tattoos. One unified concept across a medium-large area of the body can look alright, but these schizophrenic, uber colourful tattoos are quite ugly.

That's the main thing I don't get: tattoos don't make girls prettier--or girls just choose to get masculine areas tattooed.

The Roman Empire allowed their soldiers to quench their thirst in whore houses. Didn't stop them that much.

Must be something else closely linked.

Maybe I should learn French. I was going to learn spanish but if I can't stand speaking to spanish people that speak english why bother? I learned that about Greek it just levels the playing field for them.

I'm with the Frenchies on this one. No TTIP.
Please keep your proccesed cheese on your side of the ocean.

Although we all know that sooner or later the EU parliament will allow it. Corrupt, bureaucrat, traitors as they are.

Now I'm gonna stab out my own eyes after seeing the recent pics of Alizee. What a shame!
