| Topic: Americans more polite? | |

I'm British and used to the sense of humour here. We are probably expected by non-Brits to be quite reserved but I don't think we are at all generally. We are more likely to be very friendly, probably a bit teasy and sometimes sarcastic in our banter.
But I've noticed in mails I've got from American guys (not all) that they seem to be overly polite and use terminology unfamiliar to me. I find myself replying very politely and not daring to be my normal self in case they think I'm a nutter or think I'm TOO friendly. Also they tend to mention God a lot. Which is very rare from a Brit. It's my alert that this one may be a scammer but it could be that they are just very into religion. It's fun getting to know different types of people though

I see a lot of British tv shows and some moves so I say WHAT THE FRICK !!! You guys are way more layed back than our American censorship.
Look at y'alls tv show: Naked Dating Then look at ours . You'll see my point.  I do find the humor a bit more on the dry side tho .

I like the British version of Top Gear, over the American version...possibly because there is more realness to it over the fake comraderie.

Americans more polite than what the neighbors dog coming over and leaving it's stream of waste on your vehicles wheels. Or leaving you a surprise on your front porch for you to possibly make a sammich with if you like those kind. I know I am an American and why would I say this because I am disgusted with the way people conduct themselves out in public. how about the ones that act like your not in line or think they are entitled to jump in front of you. or the ones that are in cyber space on there phone. two people siting in a both across from each other texting never saying a word to each other the whole time. or when I go to town and no one will even look at you they avoid verbal communication entirely. I have more than once talked to someone and they never looked at me as if I didn't even exist what the h#ll is that. Practically everyone is on their phone looking down at the steering wheel especially women. cops won't see me with my phone down here. And If I do have any verbal communication I am the one who initiates it. This ladies and gentle men is just some of how rude society has gotten. I could go on but I am getting tired of relying on google to get me though this. My vent for the day...GOD fearing how many of you have heard that????

Usually when you see " God fearing" in the profile.. they are scammers sitting in a internet café somewhere in Nigeria. The only thing they fear is a power outage.

I believe in the Lord Cheeses Christ, I also have a billion dollars in my bank account but need help transeferring it, can you help. I'm from NYC, Louisiana. The cheese was a pun by the way. If they say they're Brits just call them, if they sound like Hugh Grant then hey presto, you're in. |

Sorry to disappoint you Sweetie. |
