British lads

No. Maybe he only did it to spite you.

Maybe, R1…

Probably just you. OP. British men are much more self-aware and expressive / emotive than American men.

Lol at R3’s obvious attempt at sarcasm.

What's he like with other Brits?

You’re better off sticking with an American from experience.

A boy like that will give you sorrow. You'll meet another boy tomorrow. One of your own kind. Stick to your own kind.

Smelly foreskins. That’s all.

I don't think R3 was being sarcastic at all -That's been my experience with British men, too.

I wish I could meet me an uncut British lad - move to England, live happily ever after.

chavs don't seem to have that problem

^ the tears tat means he's killed someone, right?

You’re talking nonsense OP. British men are in touch with their emotions. They don’t have to carry assault rifles to go to the supermarket.

To be clear, OP, you want to hear from Americans who have dated both Brit and US men? Do you want British men to speak of themselves? Do you want to hear from Americans who want to date Brits, but haven't yet?

I want to date an Englishman but only upper class, thank you. Oh and uncut, it goes without saying.

I think it’s another stealth thread to get people to vent their prejudices against British people and the UK in general. There have been a few recently, and they always end up talking about the monarchy, foreskins and teeth. In no particular order.

I like cute British men, conversational, sense of humor dry wit, affectionate, adorable English accent, I'd be all hands and cover them all over with a thousand sweet kisses, British men taste so good! I've had more than a few over the years...

Yes, OP, they can be oddly picky about what they talk about and get nervous or slightly offended if you bring up something that crosses a line, like politics. You can be having a nice normal conversation with them, but if you go too far off the subject you quickly discover there are some things you just don't talk about.

R16 the OP is worded awkwardly, so you might be right. There's a few posters here who have clearly never been out of the US who always bring up the teeth thing. It's like how on Twitter now the trend among ignorant Zoomer teens is to say "Bri'ish" (in the most irritating manner possible) anytime they come across a British person saying anything with a different spelling or using a word they aren't familiar with.

They think they're making fun of the person, but they are really just showing how insulated and unsophisticated they are.

you have to elaborate on the "issues" you're facing in your long-term "situation," OP. Does he refuse to watch Steel Magnolias with you? Does he roll his eyes when you start wailing over perceived slights from your mother or one of your co-workers?

UK here. I was brought up to never discuss money, politics or religion with people I did not know. It’s sensible advice.

Unfortunately the effect of Thatcherism still brings out the worst in people when they want to brag about their earnings, property, etc. Add to that the toxic brew of Brexit, which has caused serious division and has unleashed people’s resentment about everything. Religion seems a pretty safe option by comparison.

Vulgar new money is the same anywhere.

R18, Glottal stops were not permitted when I was growing up. My very proper Irish granny would have held me to the fire. Politicians like Tony Blair began using them to appear “relatable”, even though he spoke like Princess Margaret otherwise. Now even Prince William uses them.

Glottal Stops are so lame.

At least that Geezer Jamie Oliver doesn't use the Glottal Stops.

A universal truth: When it comes to British lads, the best asses always are the dirtiest.

British lads are really into sneakers.

R20 Are the British welfare classes still moaning about Thatcher? That was 30 years ago, wasn't it?

You left out that the stereotype that they’re all drunks r16. As such they can get more forthcoming and uninhabited after they’ve had a few.
