Se volete aiutarmi con I sottotitoli italiani, ecco il link: ru-vid.com_video?ref=share&v=wC0OuFJAeTs | What do you guys think are the biggest stereotypes about Italian men and do you think they are true? Why or why not? Lemme know your opinions in the comments below!
Hey Tia, I really enjoy your videos! I think most of those sterotypes (cheating, casanova, catcalling) are based on men from the South of Italy (meridionali)!
I was in Italy last year and I was stunned that Italians especially the men were impeccably dressed. It was like everyone was ready for a photo shoot. I concur Italy is king when it comes to fashion.
I am dating an Italian guy right now.. He gave me roses on the third date and he is such a charmer in many ways. Haven't experienced this before. Usually guys are pretty insensitive and distant.
I realized how spoiled I was as a dutch girl in Italy until I moved to the Netherlands for University. Italian men constantly complimented me and checked me out, but dutch men...are a disaster. Definitely the less romantic and less sexy I have met. I really need to figure out how people get together or have sex in this country.
Yes but the fun thing is that I only know ITALIAN friends that visit the red light district when on vacation in Amsterdam, but no dutch men! (I guess that the ladies behind those curtains are girls like me that didn't get enough attention...)
Italian girls have a strong bond with their parents just like boys. And they too live with their family for a long time. I want to remind everyone that historically the Italian family is made up of children, parents, *grandparents* and *great-grandparents* . After the marriage it was normal for you to go to live in the home of the family of your husband or your wife, you had to help his-her parents in their work, you had to take care of them when they were elderly and in in return they had to help you with your children, they had to help you economically and they had to give to you in inheritance their possessions. The Italians have *always* lived together with their parents during adulthood. And you can not erase the historical and psychological bond that unites Italian parents and children, even if couples now live in their own homes after marriage. Traditionally and culturally Italians *never* abandon their parents.
@@Iujjdjcbjrujgsm Latin Americans traditionally do that too ... not that everybody loves it, BUT the fact that economic and political situations are always so unstable, it is everytime harder to make his way through life even with a college diploma, let alone getting married and starting a family of your own. So parents seeing this will always want to help, and they HELP A LOT by providing housing and afterwards helping to raise the kids. For this of course you will always be indebted for their love, care, help and even small or big loans from time to time. This may sound unreal in the States but that's how you live when you live and try to have a normal life in a poor country.
I met and date 3 Italians in Brazil and I think they are gentleman more than Brazilians and treat woman as queens. I felt that way at least. So I have a big crush on italians guys
Yes, I grew up in Italy, but I live in the US, and I notice that hygiene is much less important in Europe. Why? And Europeans seem to age much faster. I am now 54, and when I meet Europeans of my age and I am a doctor and live in New York City, the Europeans all seem older. Smoking and being in the sun without protection, are my first responses.
It's not just a fashion matter. Italy has a very long craftmanship legacy, started from Reinassance period. More over, Venice traded in silk and fabrics before England. It's part of our culture and our economic system strongly orientated to export. For instance, one of the finest tailoring for man (socalled "bespoke") is neapolitan one. A real, old, school. There would be a lot of things to talk about and I've not enough time, now, to dedicate. Anyway, if someone is interested, got a good cultural knowledge and - good for him - a lot of money, Italy is a real treasure chest...
I've seen this to be true in my experience as well: Europeans, even when dressed very casually, look good: the clothes are neat, clean, and most important...FIT! Americans are into really sloppy, oversized clothes, or workout wear.
I have an Italian boyfriend, he matches most of the stereotypes except that he is very committed. We’ve been together for 3 years now. He’s definitely well dressed (enviously so), very romantic and sweet, admirably family oriented - he loves his parents a lot, something I value greatly - everything that I could ask for. Sono il ragazzo più fortunato del mondo!
First question: no, I'm English. As far as I'm aware, we have never had even a bad look or comment. Italian people have always been very friendly towards us, and once I start speaking their language they become even more receptive. That's usually when they find out we're a couple from London, and the conversation usually becomes about why I learn Italian, why my boyfriend moved to London, what we do there, etc. We've toured Sicily and Sardinia staying as a couple, our host in Sicily (in Catania) was a nice woman in her 30s who was very kind and accepting, even giving us advice on some gay places to visit knowing who we were. In Sardinia our hosts were an elderly couple, warm natured and polite. We rented a villa so we had multiple bedrooms available so perhaps their lack of homophobia was due to the assumption we would be staying in separate bedrooms. I forget if my boyfriend mentioned that we were a couple so I'll ask and edit this reply when I find out. We are both not hugely into pda in general, but knowing there can be more closed-minded people in rural areas we choose to be respectful and keep things low-key. I would also say that we aren't quite "camp" natured, so perhaps our experiences might be different if we were more effeminate guys and had a different approach to pda.
Im very glad that you guys had a positive experience and found good people here, but you shouldn t hide your homosexuality, Just dont go over some limits like for example The long kissing in public, because unfortunately people in gen are not ready yet for that, I guess But the young generations are mostly accepting. Anyway I wish you both all The best..e continua con l italiano che ti aiuterà molto a socializzare perchè qui apprezzano che ti sforzi a parlare la loro lingua. Ciao!
A quick update to mention, my boyfriend told me that he did say we were a couple staying together so our hosts knew. Also yes, we don't hide our homosexuality, we always disclose it out of respect for our host in case they might not want to host us. But as you mention, in public we keep the PDA to a minimum because we don't want to stir up trouble or upset others. Thanks for your wishes, also to you.
Tia! It would be interesting to see a video on sex/relationship customs in America VS Italy, it doesn't have to be TMI 😂 but I think it might be a good subject for a future vid!
Lmao I am afroColombian from the pacific coast and we live in the US and my mom even makes me dress up when staying home you never know if a hurricane happen you have to leave looking good. Also since baby I was dressed with gold jewerly and well dressed
I am Evelyn Martin's from Mississippi am a member of the Illuminati which have been a part of since 2010 ...Would you be interested in joining our organization too gain financial freedom and safety from the government and its games Wanted too share an insight of our organization the Illuminati we are currently open for new membership
As an italian girl, in my experience I find italian men to be enough faithful, most of the people I know have long-term relationship with them and they seem to be quite happy :-) of course there are also italian cheaters but I think that they are in every country!
I've met a man online that's from Italy were the same age and he is such a great guy we haven't met yet we plan to see each other this month we haven't been able to meet cause of the pandemic he works on the aviation team. But I pray we finally meet soon when international flights reopen the 7th of July
From my experience, I can say that recently, Italian guys are changing more into the “American way”. As you said when you were talking about “50/50” about “mammoni” it’s becoming like this for every point that you explained. It’s true indeed that they still have this idea of gender roles, but I can say that it’s not only related to Italians. So many cultures still have this idea of the man that has to pay the bill and to the first move. I’m reading in the comments that so many girls were afraid of the cheating stereotypes when they were dating: from my experience, I’ve been dating out of my race too and I can say it only depends on the person and nothing else. So girls don’t be afraid 😂 not every Italian guy wants to cheat on their girlfriend just because he’s Italian. Depends on who he is ;)
It's so true I also used to have the stereotype of Italian men are 'big cheaters' but then I found a Italian man that now is my ragazzo and is like he is more keen on having a long term relationship and seems very committed. I'm totally agree with you
Sei una delle RU-vidr più razionali che conosca, soppesi logicamente ciò che dici e rifletti molto, si vede. È una qualità che in generale vedo pochissimo, questo perché riuscire a pensare razionalmente implica avere la forza caratteriale di imporsi sulle proprie emozioni e di possedere un intelletto allenato. La maggior parte delle persone vogliono solo mostrarsi radicali indipendentemente dalla qualità o veridicità delle loro idee, a volte lo fanno per nutrire il proprio ego. Dietro all’irrazionalità si nasconde quasi sempre una persona insicura: è semplice pensare per stereotipi, fare assolutismi spacciando tutto per “forza caratteriale”, “irruenza” o scemenze simili, si sa che l’indignazione fine a se stessa fa grossi numeri e crea feedback. Purtroppo paga. Tuttavia, una sola voce logica è mille volte più potente e utile di cento discorsi irrazionali e stereotipati. Sei veramente da apprezzare, meriti molto più seguito. Ciao Tia!
@@rikianonymus6262 a me sta dando molto di più: amo ascoltare chi non è italiano e si esprime su di noi, evidenziando ciò che abbiamo di positivo e ciò che abbiamo di negativo (te, ad esempio)
Tia as an Italian living in the US I am proud of your point of view. I agree with you about everything you said in this video. I am from Milano, you are literally killing all the stereotypes we were famous ( in a bad way) all across America. Each US citizen should listen to your videos. You can not generalize about a race or a population until you are living in a place for years, like you are doing. I can speak for American's stereotypes as well, most of them totally wrong. Keep going with your videos, You are doing an amazing job. Cheers from US.
Ahaha che bel video, mi piace come tu sottolinei degli aspetti che per molti italiani sono cose “normali”! Mi piacerebbe un sacco vedere l’opposto, ovvero ragazze americane vs ragazze italiane (magari con la collaborazione di Enrico haha)
Hello! I'm an Italian guy and I really like watching your videos, the way you talk and how you explain your points of view. Also you keep me "ear trained" with English :D
You are a "mammone" when you are enough adult (like 30-35) to live alone, to create a family be independent but you still live with your parents. Yes moms cook well, but grandmas are better
Francesca Campagnola That' s "mammone" in our sense, in the foreign sense even if you still are dependent or you' re still very much in touch with your mother at 25 you' re seen as a mammone.
I think it's because they tend to be pampered by their mums quite a lot in all aspects; also, because of gender stereotypes, girls are encouraged way more to learn how to cook and do houseworks, while mums are generally more forgiving with boys and therefore they are more dependent on their mothers for everything.
Ti scrivo in italiano perchè apprezzo e rispetto moltissimo il tuo impegno continuo per entrare davvero in contatto con la nostra cultura. E' una cosa che personalmente ho sempre visto fare davvero poco agli stranieri, poco conta da quale paese venissero. Ormai sei praticamente un'italiana in tutto e per tutto, ma è sempre interessante ascoltare le tue riflessioni sul nostro modo di vivere e le nostre abitudini, offri un punto di vista del tutto nuovo per noi e lo fai sempre con una piacevole intelligenza, complimenti davvero!:)
Non devo farmi vedere troppo in giro all'estero e nelle città turistiche, perché sono la negazione ambulante dello stereotipo degli italiani che vestono bene. La mia strategia di vestizione è detta anche "metto la prima cosa che capita, sperando che sia la più comoda".
Il fatto è che, tutto sommato, anche oggi la "prima cosa che capita" che trovano nei loro armadi gli italiani, anche molto giovani, è comunque sempre più bella della prima cosa che trovano nei loro armadi la gran parte degli americani (e direi pure di buona parte degli altri europei...).
Eh beh, allora spero che almeno la gran parte dei tuoi acquisti tu li faccia in negozi italiani; altrimenti ti conviene andare a vivere in Germania. ^_^
A me han dovuto spiegare che nero e blu non si abbinano come colori mentre io ero convinto che il nero potesse andar su tutto, pensa te. Credo che quello che viene detto a video sia abbastanza vero ma che vi siano anche persone mal vestite in giro per l'italia. E non intendo solo i turisti.
I totally relate to the topic of this video and to what you're saying. I am Romanian and came to Italy to be with my (then) Italian boyfriend (now my husband). It's true, we should never generalize, BUT I had all these points happen to me 🤣. He does dress better than the majority of my non Italian male friends. He WAS a total Mammone when I started being in a relationship with him. We were both 26, he was living with his parents, he had never lived outside their house, and his mom (who btw independently of all this, is a wonderful woman and we love each other like mother and daughter) was his GODDESS. He is an only child though, I found this to not be so poignant in Italian men who have siblings. In the beginning of our living together (when I moved to Italy to be with him we immediately rented our own place a few miles away from his parents house), I was supposed to do everything the way his mom was doing it (buy the same brands of oil, laundry detergent, passata di pomodoro, etc, clean the house as frequently and thoroughly as she was doing it, do laundry because he deemed himself unable to push a button because she had been the one doing it for him his whole life, etc). For me it was a true cultural shock. I had lived with Romanian men for long periods of time prior to moving here and I did see a striking difference, Romanian men are way more independent at a much earlier age, we do have this culture of moving away for college and living on our own. Also at a more conceptual level, he always says that if I hadn't come to live here to be with him, he would have never moved to Romania to be with me because he cannot bare the thought of living in a different country so far away from his parents (Bucharest is 2 hours away by plane from Milan lol). The cheating: I actually did notice more cheating in Italian men than Romanian men and yes they do play the honesty card a lot. I also found Southern Italian men very easily flirtatious. Afraid of commitment: yes yes yes. But this is because getting married or starting living together in Italy as a couple is particularly difficult because of the economical situation. BUT in lots of men that I know here, I saw this taken as an excuse. They don't move together or get married until they can get this perfect house with nice furniture and stuff. And I'm like wtf, if you really want to BE with the person, move into a 15 sqm monolocale, get your stuff from Ikea, be happy and stop inventing lame excuses.
Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ All the video is saying is true. We are way more attached to parents. We are more scared of leaving home and we dress better. It all comes down to: enough money for new clothes, not enough for new house. And with this I present to you Italy. There's just not an idea of leaving a stable situation for a more uncomfortable one.
Sono tutte cazzate Ela. Il tuo fidanzato é un idiota. Io come tantissima altra gente del sud da quando abbiamo 18 anni viviamo da soli in college e vogliamo essere indipendenti. Se hai sposato un idiota non puoi chiamare tutti mammoni cosa che mi infastidisce molto.
I would also have to say that in my experience, Italian men are more susceptible to cheating. I think a part of it has to do with their openness towards close coed relationships. They are close friends with both women and men, whereas in America sure this dynamic exists, but not on the level that I've witnessed in Italy. It is common for Italian men to go on date-like outings with girls who are "friends" or even "ex's" without the presence of other girls and guys, and this behavior can lead to temptation. And then Italian men seem passionate about women in general, so when they meet another woman who piques their interest, their first thought doesn't seem to be "oh, I have a girlfriend" but more "Oh, let me see how close I can get to her without cheating." PSA: They cheat. In my experience with Italian men, I have unwittingly been made the other woman, and it's sad because, other than this propensity towards unfaithfulness, I find Italian men endearing, clever, carefree, and adventurous. Hopefully I find a good one like your Enrico!
I'm italian and I'm 24 years old. I had 3 girlfriends and I've never cheated... My parents educated me to respect everyone, women First. No One in my family has never cheated. And for us marriage and family are the most important thing on earth. We don't care about Money at all.
Hi, although I love my country's culture in always being impeccable and fashion conscious. I must say that one thing I adore about you Americans is your indifference in appearing, I've been to America and one thing I liked is your thoughtfulness in paying compliments even to passers-by, I felt really good in America.

I think that italian men 🙋🏻♂️and black american women are PERFECT together ... explosive mix ...in MANY different ways ...i talk cause i i know...ciao a tutti 👋🏻😉
Credo che la cosa del vestire bene, o comunque ordinato, venga dal fatto che siamo usciti dalla povertà post-guerra relativamente tardi, e nonostante il boom economico la norma è sempre stata possedere magari UN solo capo, ma che durasse per anni. Il fatto che fossimo pieni di distretti tessili e sarti aiutava anche enormemente.
Lo sai che non avevo mai pensato a questo aspetto, ma in effetti riflettendoci potrebbe aver contribuito in buona parte. Mia nonna ha sempre detto che benché loro non fossero ricchi ci tenevano ad essere sempre bene vestiti e ordinati ( avevano una sartoria e un negozio di tessuti, quindi potrebbe essere di parte), al contrario alcune famiglie non erano ben viste in paese perché non curavano l’aspetto esteriore. È una componente che è sempre stata molto presente nella nostra cultura.
Cae Pae esatto, era quello che intendevo. Anche la mia famiglia non era ricca (e anch'io ho storia di sartine, stiratrici e merciai), ma in generale in tutte le famiglie c'era qualcuno che sapeva fare o almeno aggiustare un vestito. È proprio una cosa "normale" nella nostra cultura credo. Dall'altra parte, forse, venendo dalla cultura puritana, in America era importante presentarsi ordinati, ma allo stesso tempo ogni eccessiva attenzione all'aspetto esteriore era malvista. La butto lì, ma potrebbe avere un senso.
Anietta777 credo che la storia dietro le nostre case di moda sia un buon punto, parti dai loro siti. O qualcosa che parli della vita quotidiana durante il XX secolo, se hai parenti o conoscenti anziani prova a chiedere loro con che rapporto con i vestiti e cura dell'aspetto sono cresciuti.
Update: I love my mother in law she’s toned it down a lot and she will literally do anything to help me. We have fallen out before but she doesn’t care she is still as loving as always. Her manchild and I are separated now but getting along better than ever! Lol life is a mf ain’t it
Ciao Tia! Sono d'accordo con quello che hai detto solo che credo che molte cose dipendano anche dall'età dei ragazzi. Per esempio i ragazzi di 16/17 anni, per mia esperienza, spesso sono meno seri , quindi le relazioni durano di meno. Mentre un ragazzo di 21/22 anni penso che cerchi più stabilità con una ragazza e per questo le relazioni durano più a lungo. Beh questa è la mia opinione! Adoro questi video, continua così Tia💕
What I found really weird is girls treat their boyfriends like shopping buddies. In my country people go shopping with their girl friends usually. I found it really weird that there are lots of guys in a lingerie shop. My boyfriend refuses to set foot in one.
I hear you about the presentation part. My mom is Jamaican and she talks about when she was a little girl, she even had to iron the ribbons used to tie her hair. To this day, she irons everything including her socks and underwear. I never realized doing that was weird till I was in middle school/high school.
I’m Italian and moved to nyc when I was 18, yet your description of Italian society and mentality is so accurate. When you compare both the American and Italian culture I see myself so much in both. I moved here being completely Italian and now I have parts of both the Italian culture and the American and as such I completely reflect myself in all of your descriptions 😂😂
@@LouiseBitumba well you might be asking this question to the wrong person as most italians are catholics and i was raised protestant however i believe honestly the answer is very subjective. if guys are only looking for a quick pleasure then they will want to have everything fast but i believe if a guy is trying to build something serious then he knows that it takes time, they will try to get to know you before moving forward.. Most men know right away what they want... but thats just my opinion.
maybe the fact that italian guys are said to be ''afraid of committment'' is because so many guys in a long-term relationship refuse to get married even if that would be the most logical thing to do. As an italian girl I feel like many of the men I know prefear the ''convivenza'' (living together) because it's easier if you split up etc
I live in Ireland..the cheating part with italian men is very common over here. My sister and i had terrible experiences to the point where a I told I will not speak to her again if she dated an italian man (maybe in italy they're different, but it's hurts like crazy to see my sister hurt..no more for her!)
you are right about everything you said, especially regarding the body aspect, the care in dressing. I think it is due to the fact of the environment we live in, the culture that surrounds us. we leave the house and see a millenary monument, breathtaking views, we speak a language invented by writers and poets, we are used to beauty without even realizing it.
I think you are absolutely right with this one... just bear in mind that stereotypes are just that, and you have to judge after you know someone, not before... but again it seems you have this notion pretty clear and that's why I like your videos.
Ive been to Italy a few times, to my knowledge Italian men love western black women . So if you're a black woman open for dating beyond black men,you may want to check out Italy after covid 19
@@HUYI1 As I've said in a few of my videos, you owe to yourself to find happiness in whichever way it comes. I wish nothing but happiness for you both 💓
Italians do it better! I'm a Native New Yorker living in Milan for over 20 years. I agree with everything you said. I will add though ALL Italian men adore there Mom and if she doesn't like you. It's going to be VERY difficult to have a Relationship. Let's say almost impossible. 😂🇺🇲🇨🇮
You are so right @TiaTaylor...like 100% I really agreed with you on those points. I have been here for about two years and I have Italian friends too, so I understood very well all your observations.😘
I’m so glad that you used the team “Latin Lover”. The Roman Empire created the language of Latin in the year 300 BC, then as most people know we conquered the world for centuries upon centuries, assimilating with every type of woman in the Empire. Of course I’ll be the first to admit that the Roman legionnaires were totally brutal, so the word “ assimilate” maybe a bit too polite. I’m sorry it really just irks the shit out of me when someone from like Puerto Rico says “I’m Latino”. Were they not called Hispanic just a few years ago?? Which is the proper name seeing that Spain was called “Hispania before Rome conquered them for over 600 years. I guess Latino sounds regal. I’m sure you could care less us but I just would be remiss if I did not mention this, I’m a northeast Paisan, I just used Italian/Cowboy because I’m a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. Ciao and God bless.
I'm Swiss and I speak French I am only 16 but i think you speak really good because I can understand everything that you are saying so continue like this!
Actually if the sterotype is about italian men being "flirty" and "cheaters" is actually true towards foreign girls but between italian girls and italian men,inside Italy,is actually the opposite. The interactions between genders in Italy are a mess and very artificial,it's hard even to communicate in a basic way sometimes,so italian guys(and even italian girls to some extent) are so frustrated that when they meet any other type of girl from other western cultures,they look so easy going to them that they start to act oversexual but it's actually more a reaction from the frustration than a culture of italian men...
Could you elaborate on your statement that gender interactions in Italy are artificial ? I'm an Italian man and I have to say I have no idea what you mean, but I'd be very interested in hearing an outsider's point of view :)
I really have no idea what he's talking about, either. Maybe, he's referring to the idea that Italian girls are hard to talk with? Or also that Italians see foreigners as a 'playground' and this is why they are not serious about them. Btw even if this could happen it's still a stereotype.
I'm sorry, mine was a quick response to Tia's video and i didn't have time to explain it deeper. Anyway, now i will try to. Let's start saying that i had the opportunity to travel to many places in my life and to see different cultures and i focused on the stereotype, that Tia showed in the video, that italian men are "cheaters" or "players", a stereotype exported worldwide. Now, in my last response, i tried to explain in few sentences why this happens. Italian men are not natural born "cheaters" or "players" but it's more a reaction towards a social attitude in Italy, that is the opposite to what we may think and i mean that italian men aren't so libertine or sexually free as it would result according to the sterotype. Why this happens? From what i got is a mix between men's machism and women's pretentiousness. Men in Italy act as they are socially recquired to always "hit" on girls and this is the first problem. Women on the other hand, thinking that men just want to "hit" on them, developed a social attitude that is a mix of rudeness and princess-like behaviour. Both of those things lead to incomprensions, frustration, unhealthy and very fake and formal interactions,since really many men and many women aren't like that. Now, outside Italy, these 2 attitudes basically don't exist so what happens? Simply men and women talk to each other in a very relaxed way,cause men can talk without being seen as just sex monsters and women are more comfortable to be friend or to flirt with them and this was very obvious to me outside of this country... I hope this was a clearer explanation :) P.S. Elena, of course i go with stereotypes in a video about stereotypes :D
Much clearer now, thanks for the explanation. I would say that it is a problem only if you do not approach your interactions rationally. Yes, men are expected to "hit" and make the first move and this makes both men and women a bit warier than they should and end up sounding cold and detached. But, in my personal experience, all you have to do is just ignore the awkwardness and keep making conversation and eventually it will go away. Basically, all you have to do is not give a damn about what you're expected to do or not XD
Well, thanks for selling us as such nice guys! Appreciated. Just one thing: it is relatively easier and stress-free to dress fancily in a country where even low-price clothes are designed to look good. Italy is one of these countries. Also, our mothers and wives would tell us "ma cosa ti sei messo addosso?" if we were to dress improperly, so even fashion-impaired guys like me can succeed by trial-and-error, given time, under such a scrupolous scrutiny...
Well Italian people just dress well in general, it’s culture but like in America lots wear pajamas in public places which is so lazy or they errar sweats and leggings. I’m Italian but not a mama boy. The cheating isn’t not that bad it’s more normal or average.
Some Italians are "Mammoni" because of the hard economic situation, that's not because they like to live with their mothers for the rest of their life. Of course in Italy, even if you live with your wife and sons, you often visit your parents as a form of respect towards them. There is also another kind of relationship between grandfathers and nephews
Thanks for the clarification Tia. 6 years abroad and I've enough about all these stupid stereotypes when dating women. Some of them even don't want to date italians as they are afraid of cheating (while then cheating a lot themselves 🤓)
Sono d’accordo che molti stereotipi vadano accantonati , e tu fai un perfetto lavoro da questo punto di vista nel farli cadere e spiegare il perché di certe cose. ❤
I will say this. Now with the new generation children going to school starched and ironed is non existent. But me growing up in the 70’s and 80’s leaving the house and not being presentable was unheard of. So definitely the times have changed. Very good video.
I'd like to make a observation about your fifth point, yes it could look from the outsider point of view that italian boys and men are really romantic and behave in a classic manner, with the male being the gentleman that he is supposed to be, but this is largely due from the social pressure. Everyone is expected to behave this way otherwise you'll get sideway looks and people thinking you're extremely cheap for letting your "female" (because it really feels that in the popular suburban italian mind the woman is like your possession and you are meant to be extremely protective and do everthing possible to provide) pay for you. Obviously i am not implying that every italian thinks this way but is largely spread throughout the penisula north to south, even if in the north is more "hidden" with the women claiming their rights of emancipation but still expecting a gentleman behaviour.
Yes sometimes she can pay for you, if you payed for her at least 3 or 4 time for her before, else it's kinda rude, at the very least split the bill, and the splitting happens quite often, still it's better if you pay with a 3 to 5 or a 2 to 5 ratio
Yes true, especially southeners. I have a friend who lives in Naples, and even though we are friends and never had romantic feelings, he always treats me like his girlfriend when we go out. He always wants to pay for me saying that "he is the man, no matter if we're just friends, he is the one that must pay". I don't like it, sometimes we argue about it 😧
Mi sembra che tu abbia ragione su quasi tutto! il mio ragazzo è esattamente come lo descrivi tu 😂 galante, romantico, ben vestito (camicia e giacca li porta al lavoro e fuori), mammone il giusto (indipendente ma la mamma è il genitore di riferimento)... non ho mai avuto fidanzati stranieri, ma le mie amiche li hanno e il tradimento, come dici tu, non conosce bandiera. Per quanto riguarda la riluttanza a impegnarsi, non saprei. Forse in Italia il matrimonio sta perdendo molta importanza, soprattutto al nord. io abito a pochi km da te, ho 30 anni e sono fidanzata da 8 e non penso di volermi sposare, anche se mi considero impegnata per la vita...voglio dire, ho comprato casa con il mio ragazzo, cosa c'è di più definitivo di un mutuo?! 😂 Penso solo che per me e molte coppie il matrimonio non sia più un passaggio obbligatorio.
di mamma ce ne soltanto una,te lo dice uno che con la mamma non e' mai andato d'accordo.Mlte ragazze credono che i mammoni sono degli sfigati,ma vedrai che quando diventeranno mamme cambieranno idea.La Mamma e' l'anima dei figli.
Marta Sokolova scusa se sei sposata con un inglese bello come un modello perché vieni a rompere le palle qui, sotto un video che parla di una relazione tra una ragazza americana e un ragazzo italiano? No così tanto per curiosità.
the first Italian guy I kissed, did cheat on his girl. Terrible. Now I’m talking to another Italian guy, who has a better moral compass. I love their style, language, food, building and their chivalry.
Damn I think I would of ended on the same predicament he’s very flirty with me and I find out that he has a girl so I’m not gonna entertain him your comment saved my time 😩
Italian men dress exceptionally well...it's true. They are very well put together. Men in the states often come out the house looking like they're about to mow the lawn. When you see one impeccably dressed, looking like he smells heavenly, it makes you stop and take it all in. because it's not an everyday sight.
Ahah... So you said just positive things about Italian guys! Romantic, well dressed, not too much mammoni, no cheaters... And, you know? Mostly you are right! 😄
Hey Tia, I'm new to the channel, I discovered your channel on RU-vid yesterday and I watched some of your videos. So, I'm italian, I was born and raised in Massa, Tuscany and I've been living here my whole life. But I'm such a fan of the U.S., its culture, its cities (my favorite one is Miami, I'd loooooooove to live there one day... Unfortunately I've never even had the chance to visit America, but that's the first thing I'll do when I have enough money) and pretty much everything regarding your home country. Ever since I fell in love with the game of Basketball, 13 years ago, I've been a fan of America, I began watching American movies (in English, of course), tv shows and documentaries. So I learned English and developed a pretty strong American accent. Some Americans I've met in Pisa and in my hometown have mistaken me for an American, and I was sooooooooo excited (here's a video from my RU-vid Channel, so you can judge my accent/pronounciation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Un_HYev5YTo.html). You can clearly understand from my video that I'm not a big soccer fan, and that's the thing I hate the most about my country. A'ight, this comment is getting longer, and it has nothing to do with this particular video, since I don't date men. Just wanted to let you know I liked your videos and wish you good luck. Ciao ;)
Thanks for your presentation. In Europe as well as the West Indies are the places of my experience, and presentation from baby to pre-school and after school was very carefully crafted and attention to detail very important. Just saying, this has been my experience.
Now I am in a distance relationship with Italian guy , he is super caring and I love him and we talk through messenger and have video calls and he even let me talk with his cousin and sister and to his mom . Do you think he really loves me ? I am worried now hahaaa
loved your video! Agree with everything! Also Italian men are very expressive, if they like you, you`ll know it, the opposite of "playing it cool", like the norm is in the USA ;)
Alcuni, purtroppo, sì, ma altri diciamo che preferiscono vivere in agiatezza. Va ammesso che l'italiano è molto viziato (mi ci metto anche io): sfizi e vizi ai quali difficilmente sa rinunciare. Io ho vissuto un po' in Inghilterra e sebbene vi fossero più lavoro e paghe più alte (anche se pure i living costs lo erano), non vedevo 20enni, 30enni o anche oltre vestire griffati dalla testa ai piedi, perennemente curati, fine settimana al mare (anche perché il mare lì fa cagare) ecc. In Italia, se non hai 'ste cose, vai in paranoia dopo un mese. Penso, però, che, per disgrazia o per fortuna (dipende dai punti di vista), le cose saranno costrette a cambiare nell'arco di qualche annetto...
Gerardo Vasta assolutamente d'accordo. Il nostro problema, se vogliamo chiamarlo così, è prima che economico, culturale. Nasconderlo è da ipocriti. Ci piace andare a mangiare dalla mamma o farci stirare pantaloni e camicie perché abbiamo poca voglia di farlo noi. Poche palle. Una madre nordeuropea non lo farebbe, non per una questione di poco amore nei confronti del figlio, quanto più per incentivare il figlio a responsabilizzarsi.
I'm been dating a itailan men for about 4 1/2 years and we tell each other everything and my bf does love his mother but the do have a mother and a son relationship which I'm completely fine with
Is he overprotective? Does he have many brothers and sisters? Do you have huge family meals together? I LOVE ITALIANS and always wanted to know what it would be like to be part of an Italian family
Io sono d'accordo con tutto quello che hai detto però vorrei sottolineare due cose: 1. Intanto è VERISSIMO che in Italia noi giovani ci si sistema più tardi perché manca il lavoro, anche io ho 22 anni e sono fidanzata con un ragazzo che ne ha quasi 21, ci conosciamo da più di 5 anni e quando si parla di sistemarci (dato che ci conosciamo da tanto) la prima cosa che ci diciamo è che sarebbe fantastico se solo ci fosse lavoro e quel poco lavoro che c'è fosse retribuito in modo adeguato. E ragazzi seri come il mio ce ne sono, anzi, io personalmente ho conosciuto più ragazze che tradivano che ragazzi. Per quanto riguarda il romanticismo non la vedo proprio come dici te, io ho notato che quando io e la mia cerchia di amici (fidanzati) si esce non si paga mai "alla romana", è vero, però si tende ad alternare, offre l'uomo tanto quanto offre la donna :)
About the cheating, I think that a lot of guys in Italy likes to show of, even on bad behavior like cheating, just to perpetrate the macho stereotype maybe, that would definitely effects the statistic. I'm from Milano. In the video on rude habits... the blowing your nose in public thing, mind-blowing! It would have been impossible to notice it from here, I have been in LA for 5 month now. I thought that blowing your nose in public = rude, was just an asian thing.
I talked to Italian man before 10 months through messenger at first we were friends but later he said he wanted me to join him in italy I loved him but I was too afraid that he was cheating so I left him but I still checking his account to see his beautiful face again I wish to be with you Francesco 💔💔😭😭😭
