Tell me about Belgium and Belgium Men

They dip their french fries in mayonnaise.

They tend to waffle a lot.

You mean Belgian men? Bulgin' men! Oh, honey .... I could tell you a LOT about the latter! Chortle.

Yes, I meant Belgian men. And I forgot "am" in my sentence. I was clearly having a stroke while posting this thread. Sorry.

An inordinate number can be passive aggressive, and think they possess layers of subtlety that only other Belgians are sophisticated enough to fathom.

Grey is to Belgians what white is to Eskimos: the idea of only 50 shades they'd find laughable. You can find that many alone in a Belgian kindergarten's lunchroom.

One guy I hooked up with and was my sexual ideal is Belgian

Walloon or Flemish?

Read Alan Hollinghurst's The Folding Star.

They’re like fine pastry. You have to pull back the wrapper to enjoy them.

Kevin de Bruyne nevah wants to fuck moy😟Oi dunnow whoy, thaow, coz evraywon else dozz?

They’re not much fun and not very smart, but they love to fuck.

They are snappy dressers.

I have a hunky, hairy friend who is Belgian, but likely had his origins in Albania

My one Belgian fb was a total hottie. Great sex. Wall Street type.

Albanians. Surly and reek of sex. Reek as in BO. But very sexy musk.

Belgium is extremely boring, but there are some very good restaurants in Brussels. The whole country has a kind of unpleasant vibe.

An odd country that doesn't feel like a country but parts of neighboring countries. You've got the Flemish in the north, Walloons in the south, and Ostbelgians in the east. And yet there it is, Belgium!

Lots of male bonding going on.

Fourth most depressing country to which I’ve been, behind Oman, UAE, and New Zealand. Wouldn’t visit any of them again.

Conversely, would go back to the Aquitaine, the Netherlands, or Iceland tomorrow. Used to love Germany, too, but recently it’s become a bit of a messy cultural swamp.

Never trust a European country without its own language,

[Quote] Albanians. Surly and reek of sex. Reek as in BO. But very sexy musk.

That’s exactly what my Belgian-Albanian FB is like. Hairy all over, hunky, great masculine-musky smell. You look at him and just think SEX

Yes, Belgium is a bore. That’s why tourists go from Paris to Amsterdam and completely skip Belgium in between.

Great beer, ugly men. I used to regularly go there and never noticed any hot men.

R18, why was New Zealand depressing to you?

R23 mostly the dreary insular people, and the lack of culture outside of ancient native tradition. The white settled people there are absolutely banal, ill-informed and provincial to the bone, and oddly proud of it.

I once bought bread from a man in Brussels. He was six foot four and full of muscles.

Thanks, R24.

R25 - Did you ask, "Do you speak-a my language?"

Brussels is a bit boring in the way that Washington DC is boring. The people are generally polite and well educated, if not very exotic in their tastes. Sexually they are a whorey lot which is much to their credit.

Some of the native men have a remarkably clear and milky completion, model skin as it were. There are handsome men in Brussels though the place is not dangerously thick with them. They are fashionable in the way that Washingtonians are fashionable, which is to say not at all. Everyone under the age of ancient speaks at least two languages well, often with some basic skills in another or two. As such you are never more than one person away from someone with whom you can communicate with ease. With the EU and satellite organizations and an immigration policy that sees a lot of foreign (EU) workers, there are many imports from throughout Europe to lend some welcome variety to the Flemish/Walloon thing.

In the brief summer the place comes alive with hibernators leaving their houses for music events, turf laid in the streets in the center, arts festivals, a huge number of things every weekend. In the cold damp wet months, people often stay in and spend their time buying the perfect sofa or extravagant desk lamp. Homewares are a big fucking thing, as is real estate though people tend to stay out for fairly long times.

A lot of people pass through the city on relatively short-term assignments. There is a sense of internationalism, much needed as the city is indeed provincial as Belgium is. Also a sense of official circuits of diplomatic and EU bureaucrats. It's easier to meet Italians, Spanish, etc. Wheels within wheels

The city has fine thongs and fairly amazing public programming though it takes some effort and time to discover and sort through. To my mind it's a very comfortable and convenient if not exciting place to live, good for some people, not for all.

There's a pedestrianized street of small gay bars that becomes one outdoor bar; otherwise a couple scattered near u in the center, a couple saunas, and lots of sex at home and elsewhere. Spend five minutes talking to someone and they are likely to ask if you will stay for the next La Demence, a circuit party of 35 years or so held in a firetrap of a venue with a time warp of music and lights and dancing, held about 8 times a year in 3 or 4 day weekend blowouts. It's fairly awful, and the same every time it seems, with endless afterhours and complimentary events. Unless you love that kind of thing, you've seen it better somewhere else, but it is always spoken of as if it were magical. It's not.

Antwerp is a meatier, gruffer, Flemish lot, an interesting city but very disjointed in that going anywhere involves some stretch or five through a forsaken stretch. Another city with lots of weekend long parties and events, more provincial, without the EU/diplo connection and a more difficult place to know I would say.

I was once chatting up a guy when I was in Brussels. He was a journalist. I was sure he was gay but then he mentioned his wife and kids. Sadly he was just being friendly-but very cute

Didn’t quite a few Secret Service bods congregate there between the Wars?

Any country that can run without a government is ok in my book. Dull and boring - which is THE most appealing quality in a man for me.

I adore Bruges.

The most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life was a waiter at the pub for the hotel i stayed at on the Astridplatz in 2017. I was completely obsessed with him, and ate in the pub far more than I ever would have. I stalked him on FB and found nothing about him other than that he was obsessed with his German shepherd.

A year later I came back to the hotel, and it had been sold and was under a new name, and he had left.

I forgot to say: this all happened in Antwerp, one of the coolest European cities.

[quote] The city has fine thongs

R28 - tell us more about this...

R32

[quote] If I’d grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me—but, I didn’t, so, it doesn’t.

Why Belgium, OP? What draws you to such a place? The exciting scenery? The world class city? The history of bombardment in WWs 1 and 2?

Brussels is a beautiful city with boring people who know “someone” who works in this very important department of the EU or that very important role of an NGO. And do you know they spoke with Ursula von der Leyen just last week!

Most Belgium guys have big thick cocks. They can be a bit boring, but the ones I've met are very smart.

And yes, R1 is right, they like mayo for some odd reason.

I hate that show Dr T. I hate everything about it.

Whoa, r18. NZ is a long way to go to end up disappointed.

I liked Belgium: Brussels; Bruges; Ghent; Knokke; Liege; Antwerp. Especially loved the moules, frites, et biere!

It’s alright R41, I went to NZ (and UAE) when I was still a kid as part of a forced family trip (to see other relatives), so I didn’t have to pay for it😂

Aw, r40; I'm hooked on it: oddball Professor T; his long-suffering oddball mother (particularly Frances de la Tour); the sassy receptionist; the handsome John Van Humbeek (actor Steve Geertz); the hallucinogenic break-outs into dance, song, visions; the brilliant solutions by T.

However, I heartily dislike the Superintendent in the Belgian version. His "grandson custody" arc is boring.

Stella Artois captures the essence of Belgium in a glass.

R44 bland, pale, and watered down?

Three words:

Actor Matthias Schoenaerts

I was in Belgium this past summer--mainly in the Dutch speaking areas but I did fly in and out of Brussels.

I thought the men were attractive--tall, thin, moderately hairy. High vaccination rate and willing to hook up with other vaccinated guys.

Bruges was picture perfect with great Michellin type restaurants--due to the pandemic it was easy to get reservations and eat outside. Antwerp felt more like a real city and had great museums and neighborhoods to explore. Great beers, chocolate. Probably would be fun to bike through the countryside although I had limited time as I was partly working during the time. I'd like to go back.

[quote] willing to hook up with other vaccinated guys...... I had limited time as I was partly working during the time.

You seemed to have time for hookups.

R48 I meant limited time as in traveling to other cities I did have evenings free which was great for hooking up

Bruges is like a fairy tale, one of the most beautiful cities ever. And if you like Art Nouveau, Brussels is a must-do for the architecture. They have great art museums. Be warned, it rains - a lot.

The thickest cock I sort of had was with a very good looking Belgian. It was so thick I couldn't get much of it in my mouth, and after several attempts of trying to get his progresso soup can cock in my ass we gave up and I beat him off - he kept telling me to beat harder. I thought I was going to break that fucking thing. It certainly would have broken me! I was disappointed but at the same time, I'm not ready for a prolapsed asshole for life for one hot hookup!
