Probably the same reason why generic factory made Gouda is much more popular than authentic aged farm-made Gouda: Because most people are fucking plebs that don't like it when cheese tastes like cheese... They just want bland fatty mush.

>Pic related

Not very similar to the supermarket crap that gets exported by the thousands of tonnes.

Because Brits are massively obsessed with the French... The funny thing is, they seem to think that works the other way around as well, and that there's still some kind of 'rivalry' going on...

While in reality, the French care very little about Brits. They might even think they're kind of cool... Brits on the other hand, are eternally asshurt.

British Cheese is in my opinion tastier but who cares? Half the joy of eating cheese is the experience of eating it.

British women will not give you the experience you desire. Imagine laying out a lovely cheese platter, with Cheddar, Stilton, Wensleydale, and every other classic British Cheese with some great British crackers. Now imagine being forced to eat it with a typical British 'woman' who can barely feed themselves a drunken kebab without spilling chili sauce down their flabby tits. It just completely ruins everything.

Now French Cheese might not taste as good but the average French woman is like FWG. Beautiful, elegant and careful of thought. I would happily eat sub par cheese if it meant eating it with FWG. Sure I could probably enjoy the taste of some matured cheddar more than some disgusting, sloppy Brie cheese, but the thought of shoving a slice of Brie into FWG's mouth and then laughing with her about how she better transfer her cheese breath into my mouth so that any shitskins she gives a lesbian kiss to aren't disturbed is just perfect. Hell if French cheese was literally just slices of american cheese with human shit wrapped inside, I would gladly eat an entire French cheese platter just to share a dinner spread with FWG.

taste is subjective?

France makes its share good sauces, wines, liquors and liqueurs, cheeses, and even a few good beers and cigs... but that's my opinion. You might not enjoy the same things I do, and you evidently have differing preferences. There's nothing wrong with that.

Here come some suggestions

Brie is nice to begin with, it's not too strong, doesn't smell a lot, don't look weird...
Our goat milk cheeses such as pélardon or rocamadour are also cool, goat cheese is easy to eat and goes with a lot of things (on a slice of bread with honey for instance)
Reblochon, smells stronger than the previous ones and it's usually quite liquid so it may seem too much to start but it's actually a pretty "normal" mountain cheese, melts very well and goes great with potatoes (see tartiflette)
Camembert is an obvious choice, a classic of stinky and creamy cheeses but it's easy to like and goes great with nuts
Also all kind of tommes cheeses, those are mountain cheeses produced in the Pyrenees, Alps and Massif Central resulting in a great variety of tastes and methods. It doesn't stink and is compact instead of creamy, however taste is rather strong if you have good one
Also cantal and comté, they are cheeses that come in various "affinage", a.k.a different ages, like wines. "Young" ones aren't very strong, then the older you go the dryer and stronger they are, I usually eat them with "pain de campagne" (the huge loaves of bread, not baguette)
Also there are our moldy cheeses: They may look similar but have very different tastes. Roquefort is strong and salty, pretty good in a salad with nut oil, bleu d'Auvergne has a far lighter taste more suited for a first time with moldy cheeses. Fourme d'Ambert too, easy to eat. By the way I noticed foreigners usually talk of "bleu cheese" as if it's one cheese but in truth there are various ones (like listed here >>57319090 ) which all taste different
Also Abondance is god tier

I didn't really know where to begin tb.h
