[quote]German men are the hottest! I can't go into details but ,um, German men are HOT!
Pics of these hot Germans? And extra points if they're gay. People just say things mindlessly because of a notion planted in their heads even though they're not grounded in reality.
OP has been fishing for compliments for WEEKS and as someone who tried Germany and France and finally settled on Italy, I'll give my honest opinion without being rude or offensive.
1. A strong homophobic undercurrent in all levels of German society. They like to check all the correct lines about policy and acceptance but literally no big celebrities ever come out as gay because of it.
2. A very strict and conformist society where people are loathe to stand out or deviate from societal norms. You will get chewed out by total strangers for stuff like jaywalking or littering (I'm not saying they're wrong) point being, there's a right way to do things and you should follow all these rules.
3. The work environment is also very interesting. People are very direct with no room for nuance or subtlety. And boy, the wrong place to be if you're not into hierarchies. Again, very direct. Absolutely no filter. I remember this woman, out of the blue, telling two South American colleagues to their faces that she was writing a memo recommending their positions be abolished because, in her opinion, there was a lot of work duplication and they didn't seem productive enough as they spent too much time chatting, on breaks and Facebook, so no need to keep them. Kept my head low after that because I didn't want to be next. They're far more efficient and productive than Southern Europeans (French, Spanish, Italians) but definitely not as creative.
Sticklers for rules are not attractive or sexy to me. I know the image on this board is of tall, blond Adonises, but that wasn't my experience. If I were to rank the sexiest men in Europe:
1. Italians
2. Spaniards
3. French
4.Portuguese, Greeks, Cypriots, Balkans
5. Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians, Brits and the rest.
