Loose American Women

I just happened to be watching a TV show yesterday where an Italian man who had gained some fame by appearing on a reality show was comparing American women to Italian women. He stated that in Italy a woman usually will only sleep with a man after they have been seeing each other for about six months, while in America he has found that a woman will sleep with a man after knowing him for six minutes. He has been living in America for two years in the Los Angeles area. My question is this: Is his opinion of American women based solely on the behavior of women from the area where he is living? I don't believe that all American women are that easy.

I think as a general statement promiscuity in the women of America is quite different when compared to other countries. But it's not just the women, the men are as well. Children as young as in grade school are participating in these activities to add to it. America just has it's priorities all wrong. However, I must say that the area may have had something to do with it!

I agree, celia4evr, because this type of behavior is sort of expected from certain segments of our society.

Well first I suppose it all depends on where he finds these American women. If he is picking them up in bars, well then that is not a good section of the American female population. If he were to date other women I think he would find them quite different. Myself, I have only slept with my husband, period. I think he would find girls who were looking for a relationship quite different then the ones who are picking him up just because he is Italian for a one night stand.

He is in the entertainment industry, Aurone, so that most likely accounts for his opinion of the women with whom he comes into contact most often.

Like most things , when you say All you aren't correct. Of course there are women who will sleep with a man the first night they meet . But there are others that will take as long as 6 months.Everyone is different.Everyone has their own pace when it comes to s$x. They thing to do is to find someone who is as slow or as fast as you are.

I am originally from New York but my heritage is Italian and French. I also believe that american women are more easy than women from other countries. I don't mean ALL american women, because of course, that's not the case. However, a lot of american women are loose. It's just a culture thing. And are you referring to Dominico from Mtv? (I don't know if that's how you spell his name).

That is who I am referring to, candiec, so I take it you must have seen the interview. Coming from the environment he is in I wouldn't expect things to be any different.

I think that there are women all over the world will act that way and I guess he may be exaggerating in both cases! Sad to say though that a little bit of fame seduces some women very easily! xxx

You are right, mummymo. He was plunked down into an area full of Hollywood starlets and wanna be's, so he really has nothing to compare the average American woman to.

Remember, also, that LA is, with NY, one of the cities more represented in US TV series, programs and movies, thus the model of relationships there is transmitted, and presented as THE model, to millions of houses around the world.

It all depends on the woman. Some women are easy and some women are not by any means "easy" or "loose." You know what they say about stereotypes.

My feeling exactly, Bethany. He has assumed from the behavior of the women he comes into contact with that all American women are this way.

Since he sleeps with all the women, does it make him a 'loose' or 'easy' man?

I don't believe all American women are easy either. To group all women into the fast category doesn't seem accurate. I am wondering why most Italian men aren't over here if they have to wait 6 months to sleep with an Italian woman. I would like to think this man is talking about only a select few who are younger but what do I know. I also believe American women think Italian men are terribly romantic and great lovers. Maybe he's living up to his reputation.

The women in my neck of the woods are not that way. I am not that way. He was just making a very broad generalization, I think, based on where he is living. I imagine there are also places in Italy where women are fast and free, just not where he is from.

I dont know how to comment on worldwise statement. He is maybe right, maybe wrong. I think that statement based on worldwise's experience personally. In this case, I am to have my own opinion about it. It is in my hometown, in Asia. I saw frequently many tourist are visiting places. Among them, there are couples of tourists -- males and females - that are walking together. I am told that those tourists are coming from different countries, such as Europe, North America, Japan, Netherland, Australia. They meet here and then walking together to do some sightseeings. It will be ok, when they like to each other, and then take the same room in the same hotel. They do that during their stay in that city....

no I do not think that all Americanwomenare that easy perhaps he was in a different area but from what I have judged over the lastcouple of years is that most American women are about the same as Italian women maybe that do not wait quite that long but they do not go to bed with a new man the first six minutes either. He is really exaggerating there.
