Curious how you would know this since you live in "paradise", and apparently never leave? I hate Kalifornia, but there are a shit ton of hot women there.

You seem very sensitive about where you live.

For as much as I hear this, I was shocked at how many fat ugly people I saw last time I was in LA.

Y'all need to get put more.

I go to california and az quite often, what they certainly do have better is car culture.

The women never cease to amaze me in those places. They are 99% all ugly disgusting creatures, you see all the hot photos of them on social media but it isnt reality at all, I was in scottsdale at the college bars last year and there was nothing... The place youd think is rolling in hot girls... Reason I am defensive? The blatant ignorance of lumping canada in one shitty place of only liberals and igloos is insane.
Dont call me defensive about where I live, you mericans are the pinnacle of defensive about your country lol

I almost find it hard to grasp how someone would not want to go to Europe.

A lot of people that refuse to travel do so out of ignorance. It's one of the less desirable traits Americans are known for.

I had a group of people in Chicago, no joke, tell me that didn't want to visit Arizona because they don't like all of the sand. I'm sure the same people think you live in an igloo, work as a lumberjack, and ride a moose to get there.

Actually...you're wrong. American has the stereotype of being set in their ways and not liking change. There's a reason so few Americans have a passport. I live in FL and work in the tourism industry. I see it all the time. It's often southerners. They are all of 4-8 hours from their house, and bitch about "we should have just stayed home" or "I forgot we ain't in the south no more" or "This just ain't right" because something isn't 100% exactly as they have it in their city and even "I don't know why we even came here" because sweet tea wasn't a drink option in a high end steak house.


Those folks don't need to visit Rome, London or Paris and give us a bad name.

This is pretty ignorant.

First, unlike a European, the typical American can travel a thousand or more miles before needing a passport. European countries are smaller than most American counties and states.

Second, because of the size of the US, geographically we have everything you could want and need. Live in Ohio and want to see the ocean? You can go to Florida or California. Unlike someone in Switzerland who'd have to "travel to another country" and go to Spain or Italy.

Same for tropics, you can always go to Hawaii or the Keys. Want frozen vast wilderness? Michigan, Montana and Alaska. Mountains, deserts, open plains, mega cities, small towns, lakes, rivers, historic sites, art, museums.. It can all be experienced domestically..and typically better and cheaper then elsewhere.

As for being disappointed, that's expected. You think a great tourist spot is amazing because of all the pictures and stories... And you realize it's a crowed overpriced shitty tourist trap. *cough* mustang week *cough*

Lol chicago... Never said I didnt ride a moose to work... Brb gotta go cut some holes in the ice and club some seals.

Seriously though I bet thats what Fjohnny actually does for a living

Bitches about people lumping all of canada into one stereotype.....lumps 99% of women in places in America into one category. Pure gold.

Are there unattractive women in California? Of course there are. Nobody said there aren't. But considering I don't know anyone who's visited there that doesn't completely disagree with your assessment, I think you might be overestimating the quantity just a bit.

I'll call you defensive as long as you continue to act that way.

Nope.

First, unlike a European, the typical American can travel a thousand or more miles before needing a passport. European countries are smaller than most American counties and states.

Travel distance has nothing to do with Americans not wanting to leave their home country.

Second, because of the size of the US, geographically we have everything you could want and need. Live in Ohio and want to see the ocean? You can go to Florida or California. Unlike someone in Switzerland who'd have to "travel to another country" and go to Spain or Italy.

Except history over 200 years, varying cultures, ancient architecture, etc.

Same for tropics, you can always go to Hawaii or the Keys. Want frozen vast wilderness? Michigan, Montana and Alaska. Mountains, deserts, open plains, mega cities, small towns, lakes, rivers, historic sites, art, museums.. It can all be experienced domestically..and typically better and cheaper then elsewhere.

You're backing up what I said.

As for being disappointed, that's expected. You think a great tourist spot is amazing because of all the pictures and stories... And you realize it's a crowed overpriced shitty tourist trap. *cough* mustang week *cough*

Again...I said Americans are set in their ways and don't want change.

What happens from a family from IA goes to FL? They hear the same language, use the same currency, have some of the exact same restaurant chains, etc. 95% of things are all the same, except they trade corn fields for sandy beaches.

That's what Americans want, 95% the same.

They don't want to deal with a language they don't understand. They don't want to have to deal with public transportation in Madrid when the only thing close they have ever taken was a school bus. They don't want to drive unknown cuisines. I've heard of families leaving a restaurant because the place didn't have chicken nuggets or mac and cheese. That's literally all their kid eats. They want their cell phone to have signal. They want everyone to take their debit card. They want their normal life, with a splash of beauty/relaxing.

Call it culture shock if you want, but Americans hate it. I absolutely love it. It's like a drug to me. Exploring the street of Ho Chi Minh City or Marrakesh, I feel like an exploring in another world, just taking in all the sights and enjoying every second.

America's love for NOT wanting change is the reason Time Square has an Olive Garden.

Show me where I lumped all women in america in one category.... Big difference is I speak from what I have seen with my own eyes. You all think I live in a frozen tundra, but feel free to maintain ignorance, i'm proud of where I am, just like you all are proud of America. Politics aside

I will admit I totally derailed this thread in a firey fasion though.

Edit: ive still never been to Nashville or Vegas but my friends here say thats where the hottest women they've ever seen are, they are the pickiest MF's around so I trust that

Guilty as charged!

Heading to Italy for 10 nights in mid-May. Very excited to experience the food and culture.

We are starting in Rome (3 nights), Orvieto (1 night), Florence (3 nights) and Venice (2 nights).

There's a golf cart tour I took in Rome on my last visit that was the highlight of my time there. The locals run it and show you so much you'd otherwise miss. The owner did our tour and The dude was a riot too. The carts are quicker to get around too. I never do touristy stuff like that but I was with sobering that was immobile and I'm glad I did that particular one. If your interested I can forward the info.

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

We are going to Northern Ireland (Belfast area) late July/Aug for a week. Even taking a GOT tour since so much of it was shot up there.

 

[coposrv]

My in-laws go every year for at least a few weeks. They we’re on the almafi coast for a month last year and it looked amazing. They’re going to Switzerland and nice this year.

I’ve always wanted to go to the France. My family traces back to 13th century bourbon region with a still standing castle with our name.

I used to travel a ton for work. A few times I got paired up with the southern guys it was a nightmare. They always compared it to home as if Houston was anything but an ashtray. They have no concept of anything outside of ‘Merica. I was embarrassed on many occasions. For ****s sake wear some decent fitting clothes, speak softer and no they don’t have coors here.

Nope.
Travel distance has nothing to do with Americans not wanting to leave their home country.

Actually it does, as you say in a minute. A guy going from IA to FL is traveling stupid far.. And he doesn't need a passport despite that. A guy going from Copenhagen to Amsterdam needs a passport despite being able to drive it in an afternoon.

A European NEEDS a passport to to do a day's travel, an American does not.

Except history over 200 years, varying cultures, ancient architecture, etc.

So Phoniex is just like Chicago which is just like Savanah?

Again...I said Americans are set in their ways and don't want change.

Kinda like going from Paris to London....

That's what Americans want, 95% the same.

So you don't like commercialization? Western Europe is commercial as **** man. McDonald's everywhere. Fanta up the ass... Have you ever been to Europe?

They don't want to deal with a language they don't understand.

You mean English? Because basically all of Western Europe is English based. Can't say the same for many parts of America....

They don't want to have to deal with public transportation in Madrid when the only thing close they have ever taken was a school bus.

Rent a car.

They don't want to drive unknown cuisines.

Are you confusing Western Europe with South East Asia?

I've heard of families leaving a restaurant because the place didn't have chicken nuggets or mac and cheese.

Now you are just being stupid.

They want their cell phone to have signal. They want everyone to take their debit card.

Are you confusing Europe with Sub-Sahara Africa. Even in the deep interior of Russia I had cell signal and Visa/Mastercard acceptance.

They want their normal life, with a splash of beauty/relaxing.

That's kind of the point of a vacation, no?

Call it culture shock if you want, but Americans hate it.

Ordering Beer at McDonald's is culture shock?

The only shock I ever get from Western Europe is the lack of customer service, the ridiculous costs and how "commercial and American" it is. It's even overrun with their own flavor of illegal aliens.

I absolutely love it. It's like a drug to me. Exploring the street of Ho Chi Minh City or Marrakesh, I feel like an exploring in another world, just taking in all the sights and enjoying every second.

And you're not talking about Europe now... But South East ****ing Asia...

IAmerica's love for NOT wanting change is the reason Time Square has an Olive Garden.

That doesn't even make sense. There is a McDonald's at the Lourve.

I traveled to a lot of Western European Union Countries without ever having to show my passport when crossing borders in a car. France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherland, and Austria. I had to show papers going to Switzerland but they’re not part of the EU IIRC.

This was 10-12 years ago. Maybe times have changed given the migration problems.
