[quote=Anonymous]1. Americans are MUCH friendlier than Europeans. We smile, talk to strangers, and we make eye contact. This makes women seem "receptive" to European men (who expect the RBF of European women unless the woman is interested, which is basically the only time a European woman will smile).

2. Misogyny. Men in many European cultures (Spanish, Italian, French, Eastern Europe) are much worse than American men. They assume women are for sex and will disdain women who want to be equals, which they interpret American women do. They see this as a threat to their masculinity and they respond rudely/assume Americans are sluts so they can protect their feelings when they are rejected (because they are misled by #1 above).

3. Some American girls go to Europe and really do lose control of their drinking. Since Europeans aren't likely to make friends with Americans at many other ages (think -- when you studied abroad, you made friends in that culture, didn't you? Are you still making tons of friends from that culture/county in your 30s, 40s, 50s? Probably not) they generalize that all American men/women are the way they were when they were 20, and it becomes an assumption in the culture.

So, basically a potent mix of misogyny, misconceptions, and sour grapes.[/quote]
