Regarding Gaetz

[Cyrano]

As far as I know, no man has combed his hair into a pompadour in the last 50 years.

Further, he has the disadvantage of looking like the first guy you'd cast as a villain in any movie or TV show that required a generic villain.

I don't mean to shame the physical looks of this prick. Nonetheless ...

1. Nestor is the Villain Gaetz younger side kick.

[soothsayer]

2. He's got those dead, soulless eyes.

3. His hair reminds me of Wayne Newton ca. 1966

4. Mustn't mention his head...mustn't mention his head...

5. I do not know where you live but this is so not the case for the EU and UK

As far as I know, no man has combed his hair into a pompadour in the last 50 years.

one look at any football match or nightclub over here will confirm what I said

6. My condolences to the EU and UK

7. I think IF it is done well it is a great look for the right facial type (Gaetz is NOT one of those)

Not that it matters in terms of my dating pretence (I am a lesbian and also happily married) but if I was straight (or a gay man) I would take a cute euro lad over the majority (not all obviously) of American men. Especially clothing wise, which can do wonders (although the internet and global distribution of decent fashion is levelling this Eurocentric sartorial edge out a bit, especially in larger US metro areas).

9. Exactly!! He's the male equivalent to Meghan mccain and her quest for the right hair stylist

Always turns out wrong

10. Regarding your fashion observations,

I'm not sure where I stand in relation to Europe and US metro areas.

My profession gives me the luxury of working out of my home and my standard wardrobe is Lee jeans and a dark tee shirt. Since I live in FL, I don't need much more even when I go outdoors. Does my preferred manner of dress make any kind of fashion "statement?"

11. whatever you like is fine with me, and we all obviously do not glam it up whilst working from home

some looks for men I like

Alexander McQueen










Bottega Veneta








Balenciaga








Saint Laurent









Thom Browne

19. Your dress is standard for the USA.

I wear work casual clothing to everything but weddings and funerals (which often turn out to be the same thing). I only wear tee shirts around home and after exercising (they handle sweat well), because my work requires a bit more style, but jeans are always in the work and home clothing mix.

18. European men are more stylish, I will give you that.

But the majority of American men that aren’t pricks present more masculine and down home on clothing, which is a look that I think works with the majority of American and a lot of European women.

I have dated European, Middle-eastern and continental African women, but if I were to marry, the woman would be a native born American, or a woman that has been here a while and has absorbed the more pleasant aspects of American culture (which, good and bad, is unique). For me, it boils down to the number of common experiences.

21. American/Swedish relationships/marriages usually do not end well IF they live in Sweden

I have a shedload of personal examples (friends, fellow students, co-workers, etc etc) to draw from

If the Swede moves to the US on a semi-perm basis and actually like the US, then it is far more likely to succeed

Americans here in the EU are mostly all-in or soon all-out

the ones who do not last are often easy to spot, as they never stop complaining about how things are not like the US (and almost always in a perceived bad way)

A truly significant portions of Americans I know/have known over here (in both London and now Stockholm) deffo do not subscribe to 'when in Rome.....' as a starting point, especially here in Sweden

UK/American couplings are far more successful in my experience, but I still know many who cracked up (in London, far fewer who left for the US, although even there I know some failures), although some of those were due to attempts at sporadic yet persistent bi-continentalism on the part of one or the other, and thus extended separation

23. Americans can be babies about inconveniences, just look at the Covid actions of some of them.

We have the largest of almost everything here, people here that have never travelled don’t realize how much smaller supermarkets, hotel rooms, hotel baths, ect, can be in other parts of the world. The differences take some getting used to, some people can’t make that work.
