You gotta love a women with an attitude if not then its boring.

Yea, I am not having any problems with women with an attitude, not even generally with american women - but i wouldnt want an american attitute for myself. Nothing personal, fellas. happy.gif
Mr. Fixit
Thinking of it, i might have a problem with american women and their attitude after all ... ohmy.gif


Mwahhahahhhhah aha haa ha ha hmmm ... *sniff*
Now, was i laughing or crying?... or both ?... or was it
'lächeln um nicht zu kotzen'?

Ohwell, sorry gals - you arent responsible for these ... or your president, for that matter ... ;P

Just kidding. Ignore me.
cinzia
If I were held responsible for Dubya AND Tori Spelling, I wouldn't be moving back. Not kidding.

Fortunately, the US is full of really nice people. Although I suppose you might probably also find that women are abandoning Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota in droves. I wouldn't blame them.

Fixit I said something similar that to a guy who was trying to pick me up on Saturday night at a club. I said to him "you don't want to pick me up, I have issues." I had 0.00000000000001% interest in hooking up with him and that's why I said what I said.

It wasn't that Leon80 bloke off here was it? He's got a screw loose AND is a total twat. I'd steer well clear of him and all of his psycho mates if I were you - wrong 'uns the lot of 'em.
Lifeisabuffet
Jimbo, I didn't ask his name, no clue what his name was.
Jimbo
He'd no doubt have used a second identity anyway. Not got the guts to use his real name. I fucking hate people that do that.
Lifeisabuffet
He actually said to me ... "I am "Rudeboy", how are you doing tonight?". I told him that his real name is not "Rudeboy" and then said what I said. Wtf Rudeboy? That sounds like dorky boy to me.

Doesn't Alaska have this same problem?
Jimbo
Yeah, those fake IDs are everywhere these days.

Oh please lord dont delete this thread.

@Perdido - indeed. It would be nice if the mods left this thread up as a warning to any other innocent girls like lifeisabuffet, to warn them against 'Rudeboy' aka 'Leon80'.

I haven't travelled extensively in Germany though in my one trip in East Germany recently I did have the feeling that there were more young men than women.

True. But to be fair, we were sat in a soccer club pub. I'd say there's a lack of young people in East Germany, regardless of which gender they are. The thing is, jobs are NOT in eastern Germany. Job opportunities are in western Germany. I'd imagine it's as simple as that really.

Edit: I haven't read the entire thread but if statistics show that there ARE more younger men than women in eastern Germany, I think it could also be because the most jobs offered (at least since I moved from the East) were jobs in construction, etc. Jobs that are often male-predominated, in other words.

Just leave people alone Jimbo. Things might be OK for you, but have you ever considered that life is not a picnic for everyone.

I'm just happy to hear that all the women in Munich are so hot to handle and so beautiful that no guys can cope with them or manage to get a date or dance with them. Is Hugh Hefner aware of all this unbounded talent here ? laugh.gif

Oh, did i mention so modest to boot too ?

I am afraid not Bluedave. I was on the phone with Hugh few minutes ago and he is not aware of the situation, I can pass you his number and you can have a chat with him. laugh.gif

Has anyone seen any articles in the German press regarding this?

Yes Renia, here it is: Junge Frauen verlassen Ostdeutschland

QUOTE
"Man merkt schon, dass die Mädels fehlen", sagt Sandy T. (35), die im Café "C'est la vie" im tristen Stadtzentrum von Eisenhüttenstadt arbeitet. Von ihrem früheren Bekanntenkreis seien viele weg, auch die Schwester habe es fortgezogen. Sie selbst habe sich ebenfallsmehrfach in den Westen der Republik beworben, hatte Vorstellungsgespräche als Kauffrau im Gesundheitswesen, letztlich hätten private Gründe sie bewogen zu bleiben. Auch Franziska Solgmar (28) wollte schon weg. "Wie so viele andere auch". Von 90 Schülern ihres Abschlussjahrgangs seien gerade vier in der Stadt geblieben


Two little Ossie girls lipsyncing about how much better the east is - I guess that's changed wink.gif

Yeah, you can tell theyre Ossies by that inane red cap the smaller is wearing ...
damn NY Kommies ... happy.gif
Renia
That was quite a cute song...anyone know the history behind it?

Also, I was just thinking that due to a certain percentage of the male population being gay, perhaps there are enough women to go around in the east? It might actually work out perfectly!

I would think Berlin still has a good male/female ratio right now, it´s the other towns in East Germany that are short of women.

Oh and FYI, we Berliners do not consider ourselves as Ossies. Theres them and the Wessies. And us.
And the Bavarians, but no one really ever speaks of them. We generally tend to ignore them and displace any notion of their existance.

In fact, you can get into all kinds of unpleasant situations (and positions^^) if you call the wrong dudes 'ossie' around here happy.gif
Deccie
Don't agree, most of my berlin friends are ossis, and most of them were born in berlin.

The Beliners you are referring to in my opinion are not born in Berlin but are wessis you want the Berlin free lifestyle.
phaedrus
How can you tell if they are from the east?

I was born in and lived most of my life in west berlin. (yeah i am one of the few wink.gif )... so believe me, the real (west-) berliner had about the same amount of dislike for the wessies as for the ossies.
Only the latter didnt bother us till '89 wink.gif

And by now, we are okay with east berliners being part of the chosen people. We still dislike wessies and ossies tho. And dont get me started on those Bavarian boors happy.gif

The song is from the 'Prinzen'.

And there are Ossie Lesbians too, which could seriously wreck your thesis ;p

There really are a lot of hot German men but it's hard to tell because they're just so dorky.
I could devote an entire thread to the fashion sense alone.

Sorry Klaus, the bright pink sweater does not say that you are "comfortable with your sexuality" it just makes you look like a dork, oh, and your jeans are not meant to rendez-vous with your belly button.
Mr. Fixit
And for Berlin I can report that there are still a good lot of easy and beautiful chicks in town ... smile.gif

So if you are looking for low competition areas better choose other Towns ;p

Edit: Hey, I like that... low sexual competition areas ... kinda reminds me of 'low intensity conflicts' tongue.gif

But maybe less of them (or they have moved away with their girlfriends smile.gif ) so I think it still works out...

What about Hessians? We speak Hochdeutsch, so we must be in the crowd of "real" Germans. cool.gif

Yeah, you *imagine* you speak Hochdeutsch. I lived some crucial years in the broader Hannover area, and they are the only ones that speak remotely Hochdeutsch. (So i learned it too btw).

Theyre all still wessies. ;p

In fact, speaking Hochdeutsch is a good reason to suspect that you're a wessie.
Altho in Western Berlin they teached (and demanded) it in schools. One of the things we gladly accepted the fresh east berlin blood for ;p

If you are on a good wicket, it means you are going to score freely wink.gif
Renia
Ok, "to be on a good wicket" is to be in a good position, good situation. So if you are a single guy in Berlin and there are lots of easy and beautiful chicks around, an Australian would typically say you are "on a good wicket".
A wicket is the part of the ground that the batters bat on in cricket. (the more I write 'wicket', the more loopy I think I am getting), so therefore you want to be on a good one...

Edit, I now see I am completely wrong about the meaning of wicket. Its actually whichever one of the stumps is being defended at the time. I have confused a wicket and a pitch.

QUOTE
The word wicket is also sometimes used to refer to the cricket pitch itself. According to the Laws of Cricket, this usage is incorrect, but it is in common usage and commonly understood by cricket followers.

My Father in law, who played cricket for Australia would be disgusted with me ph34r.gif

So what matters more the wicket or the uniform?
Mr. Fixit
Oh okay. Well 'scoring freely' isnt what its like. The same rules apply here that apply anywhere and anytime in human history (xcept after [and in ]wars): female choice.

But yes, i've been told (and made the experience) that Chicks outside Berlin are way more picky and complicated on the casual sex issue...

Thing is, i've grown bored of it so i am not really taking advantage of it anymore. But i still get offers, so i know that things havent changed that much. Go to a bar, dance some, play some kicker, laugh everyone in the face and damn sure you'll meet some women. About 30% of the time they'll either want to see you again or take you home instantly.

There are some reasons we think we're different then the rest of the country you know ;p

Its not hust the women, life is easier here happy.gif

That's no different for us Hessenians, Mr Fixit, same here, except I am a female living in Hessen and I would say 85% of the time they want to see me again or take me home instantly. And what do they want to do when they take you home instantly? They would like to have instant sex like instant chicken soup, but I prefer homemade chicken soup. wink.gif

Yea, but thats exactly the difference : You are female tongue.gif

Its normal for the guys to be like that ... ;p Due to the "female choice"-rule that doesnt say much about the commonness of casual sex tho ;p

And while being a big and non-gay man that knows how to move to music (there aren't many of us ^^) helps my chances anywhere (women are sooo superficial happy.gif), Its always been easier to 'score' here then elsewhere.

Lifeisabuffet, I just sent you a PM with Fixit's foto..just imagine him in that hat with no shirt on..kind of makes me think of the Chippendale strippers. tongue.gif

Do you look like that Mr Fixit, because if so, I am coming to Berlin!
Mr. Fixit
Well i am not an expert, but he doesnt look too good either to me.

Miss Germany is from Berlin too btw. Admittedly, she looks shite too happy.gif



Aint that a cute Hamster?

Ive seen much more beautiful women in the Berlin wildlife. Dunno what these jurys are thinking. Theyre probably all gay ;p

I can attest to the fact that the man is sexy. He's a manly man kind of sexy and tall and not scrawny, very German, somewhat blonde

No Renia, he is a blonde version of that guy. If you are into blondes you should reserve your train/plane ticket now, you can reserve a second ticket for me too. tongue.gif

He looks especially cute in that sailors hat! But also hot in an army uniform. And his name is Mr. "Fixit", how perfect is that!
