Have you ever had a foreign girlfriend? What country was (is) she from? What did you like and dislike about her? Have you ever wanted to date a girl (woman) from another country (let's assume she would be living in your country already)? What country would that be and why?

I am American and I have dated someone who is British, someone who was Russian and I now live in Germany and I have gone on dates with German women. What I will say is that cultural differences can be hard, and language barriers can really make those differences feel insurmountable. There were challenges in each relationship. I found the Russian woman I dated was very blunt, and that was really hard for me since it felt like she was criticizing me a lot, but she did not see any issue with using direct language.

I also have had a hard time dating German women, I'm not saying anything negative about Germans or Germany because there are wonderful things about Germany, but Germans can be rather cold and, again, are very direct. Germans like to say that a German friend is a friend for life and view American niceties as frivolous and fake. Germans tend to see themselves as more authentic in this regard, maybe, but having to "prove" yourself worthy of friendship (or just basic friendliness) is draining, esp when you are an expat. So, for me, I think I would prefer to date another American or someone from a culture more similar to mine, but of course, if I met the right person then that may change, lol.

And these are just my own personal experiences, I don't think they are representative of any country as a whole.

The first girl I ever liked is Russian, and she’s now been one of my best friends for a while. Your take on Russian women is so true in my experience. I love the bluntness and directness but sometimes it can be a little too harsh when I’m feeling particularly sensitive/self-conscious. But on the whole I value straightforwardness and authenticity.

Also I love pretty much all Eastern European accents on women. 🥵

Yeah,eastern accent is rough and hot lol I like how americans and british tend to be polite and nice and make a point to make you comfortable. It isn't the same for everyone, but the general attitude of the population is all smile and nice shit for wht I've seen. That's cute.

I find Ukrainian accents more gentle/soft and that Russian accents have more intense peaks and troughs. I don’t know to describe it. But I do like both. Both are hot.

It is because our language is much more soft sounding than Russian. And it is more gentle as well, we does not even have our own swears, lol. And even things like "fuck" is "кохатися" which is literal translating as "to make love".

The comedy sketch writes itself: the Ukrainian who tries to talk dirty in the bedroom and instead just ends up saying really sweet, loving things.

Like the Germans who say nice things sketch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y6YpFzzusnM

Sounds about right :D

However, German actually sounds very gentle, especially Austrian accent, if said with love ;)

Spanish is the hottest though. I would pay for having a girlfriend yelling at me in spanish lol

[–]yousaythosethings 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I speak Spanish but not as a native speaker so I can yell but it won’t sound nice. I lived in Spain though and can confirm that Spanish women and their accents are sexy. Spanish women speaking English - intensely hot. Penelope Cruz, for example. But for some reason Spanish men speaking English tend to have an accent that makes them sound a little unintelligent and idk why that is. Not trying to be mean. I’m used to sounding dumb in foreign languages myself with my American accent lol.

Also when I lived in Spain, there were so many Italians there who pick up on Spanish very quickly due to the similarity with Italian but it’s funny because it ends up sounding like Spanish with Italian cadence/sounds, but it sounds nice.

Yeah, italian and spanish are very similar. I can see spanish series without subs and understanding most of what they say. Also spanish and italians got similar characters, both very expressive, especially when we get angry lol

Spanish women are wonderful. When I was younger, I worked in Barcelona for a while and had quite a few great nights... that accent makes anything sound nice.
