I don't get uncomfortable from American friendliness. A lot of Europeans have prejudices about the US and vice versa. Some things are legit, others aren't. I guess both sides think the other one is arrogant and in a way that's true. We both think that we are living the best way. In reality, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Why can't we accept the differences and move on? because nationalism.

It's a rarity to see americans. Last time I met a black guy, I asked him if he was from Jersey, because that's the first thing which comes to mind for some reason. Turned out he was. He tells me he's a musician and he's had a good time here etc. Tells me a joke that I don't get immediately and says he only wanted to brighten my day then he stopped smiling and looked a little disappointed and left as if in a hurry. It felt like I owed him something because I didn't laugh at his joke, I felt tired at the moment having talked to hundreds of others and it was then quiet. I can't conjure fake reactions like that.

>>60478809
if the joke is shit euros won't laugh even to comfort someone
>>
>>60478809
I appreciated his small talk, I do that all the time it's no issue talking to strangers. It was just the way he left. Telling a stale joke smiling, then wiping his smile off instantly, leaving as if he had the look of 'what a waste of time'. When others tell jokes here they cause laughter because they are genuine and sincere, not in the sense you laugh to be polite. After then they keep smiling a little and say, have a good weekend or something to that effect. At least this is how MY local culture works.

It's not about autism, the French are generally very sociable people. Arguably some of the Europeans who have quite some skill for everything politics and mingling in society.
On average people have better social skills than Americans that's for sure.

No i just don't trust you, a huge smile like this instinctivally means to me "i am mocking you" or "i am trying to get spmething out of you" or "i fucking hate you but i hide it"

Don't get me entirely wrong though, my judgement towards americans is favorable.

It's confusing when social interaction takes unexpected turns. I have a good friend in Seattle who I met abroad. There's nothing wrong with him and he is genuinely funny, we share internal humor etc. Though at first it was strange since we couldn't 'read' eachother.

He says himself that americans are very friendly and try to be polite, but when it comes to appointments and meetings they come up with excuses not to attend. Which means he has a bunch of dishonest shits for friends or that americans are mostly interested in shallow friendships. That's where my prejudice on americans comes from.

Being friendly to random strangers on the bus has no point. You've never met me before, why are you pretending as if you're my best friend?

I think the problem comes down to American insecurity. They aren't confident in themselves so they seek acceptance and interactions from complete strangers to feel good about themselves.

You're dumb.

Most people are barely even aware of the Middle East.

In Poland people are usually happy to meet Americans/Canadians/people outside of Europe (as long as they can speak the language).

Your own personal hatred of them is because you are the meme being referenced.

Americans are friendly to people's faces but they're incredibly bitchy behind their backs. One of the problem with American friendships is that they are very shallow. It's why Americans have no concept of banter. If you make fun of your "friends" in America, they'll get very upset and fall out with you. Over here, we form real friendships. It doesn't matter if my mate makes a joke about me because deep down, I know that he likes me and accepts my flaws.

That's not to say that Americans are incapable of making real friends, but creating such shallow friendships with people who are practically strangers is just ingenuine.
>>
>>60477701
I really don't know where this meme comes from.

I mean sure, personally I am not for small talk and all smiles, but just going to the market to buy some water is a pain for me because the fucking cashier is gonna be all "HELLO, YES HAVE A GOOD DAY", and that's when he's not making a stupid joke or something.

The entire problem with the post is that you are entirely misinterpreting things. We aren't your friend, we never formed a friendship, we just aren't dickheads to strangers. Our actual friendships are like you describe, but the interactions with strangers? No those are just nice little kind nothings because we aren't anti-social autists by culture.

I like it.

I was sitting with friends having a drinking at a local bar and 5 Americans girls walked in.

I was wearing a sweatshirt like pic related. She approached me out of the blue to talk about that sweater because apparently her grandmother used to knit her sweaters like these back in the states.

5m minutes into the conversation she and her friends sat down.

I was confused as fuck. Iberian girls NEVER approach you like this.

I got some sweet tourist sex for 3 nights in a row and all of us went out 3 nights straight getting completely wasted.
