Experiences with dating German women

[BadDoggie 1,575]

 

I have dated an East German for the past year and a half here in Texas.

Sop you "joined" this board 19 minutes ago to tell us how special you are having been forced through the AGBs which still explicitly explain that this is a place FOR ENGLISH-SPEAKING, GERMAN-RESIDING EXPATS and that you had to acknowledge. Which you did before your LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE post. Because no one else has fucked (or been fucked by) an East German.

 

This thread was more than two years dead. And then you came along to demonstrate your knowledge, understanding, and utter brilliance. Because some chick is putting out for your backwards ass. In Texas. My former DDR girlfriend managed to get permission to leave the Eastern Bloc while the Wall was still up.

 

woof.

They are very trustworthy and honest-brutally honest, and have an opinion which is not always what goes with the flow. Smart, committed people apply only.

 

Sounds like an invitation to join TT.

Ah German women...

 

I have no complaints, really.

 

If your girl is bossy, that's your own fault. Cue Jay-Z

 

 

 

 

If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, Hit me!

I shave myself (at times) is that considered gay? I am what I eat so I like it shaved. Women can leave a patch or a landing strip and I'm cool with it, bald is preferred.

 

As I said no complaints, Latin/Mediterranean women are more "spicy" and make good wifves/girlfriends as any other woman does.

 

This thread is enjoyable, when the subject of Black Men comes up, stand back its like a food fight from Animal House.

 

I don't worry about what other people think as long as it doesn't get in my way and I know what the inside of Germany, Denmark, Hungry Sweden, Norway and Ukraine look like and its fantastic.

 

Sort of had it with "Anglo" women.

Hungry? How's about I make you a sammich? _{I think I might be "Anglo", whatever the hell that means.}

Sorry, I couldn't help but think of this comic

 

 

But in all seriousness, I have dated a few German girls since I moved here in 2010... And I have experienced most of the "negative" stereotypes that have been mentioned on this thread. However, these things can happen in many different cultures. For example, during an internship in the US, I was expected to pay for 100% of everything we did on our dates, which was something I was not used to coming from Canada (or at least the city I lived in). What I have come to realize over the past year and a half of living here, is that looking for the perfect person seldom works out, particularly when you are an Einwanderer living in another country. The girl I am dating at the moment has her quirks and quarks, but all and all, her traits compliment my personality--and vice versa. I think this is something that most people look for anyways.

 

Focusing all the time on the bad things in your partner, or blaming them is culturally incompatible will never end in good results. As many people here have already said, you will never make certain cultural differences, so it is important to keep them in mind, and learn how to cope with them. We are all (for the most part, anyways) immigrants here. There was something that drove us to move here, therefore we cannot expect to be 100% culturally accommodated in this regard :lol:

I've only dated 2 German girls, and one is my current girlfriend. I enjoyed that I always knew where I stood with them, and they mean what they say... a far cry from the vairous NZ girls I've dated. My current girlfriend is great, very friendly, and quite easy going. I find the German girls very sexy. They're far hotter than the NZ girls in general, although their boobs are smaller from what I'm used to. (However, I lived in NZ my whole life so I'd probably think any other countries' women are hotter.)

 

I enjoy their more reserved nature, because I am more like that. Likewise, I enjoy their intellectual nature, good family values, and goal-orientated nature. I also like that if I don't like something they're said, I can tell them, and it won't happen again.

 

I haven't really experienced any other great differences. Dating was more or less the same; both girls actually paid while I was in the bathroom, and I also paid other times. Sex more or less the same.

 

Bossy women? I haven't experienced it in Germany. But you gotta put your foot down early in the relationship and get the boundaries set. If a woman is like that to me early, I say goodbye quickly.

[Maccka 204]

Oh yes... I have successfully trained my German girlfriend to ask me, 'How are you?' when we meet or talk over the phone. It took awhile, and sometimes she would suddenly ask me half way through our conversation, but we got there. She finds it amusing, I think, that I want to be asked, and I always ask her when we first talk or meet.

 

Most of our differences have come about from more socialital things we've done. For example, going to the gym. I was shocked there was a communal showering area. We have them in NZ, but no one ever uses them. Showering naked with other men near by was extremely weird for me, and my girlfriend found that amusing.

 

Other things are me wanting a hot, large dinner meal. Stuff like that, you know... hardly anything important.

"How are you?" is literally "wie geht es dir?", which almost all Germans use, so it shouldn't be that alien, surely?

[leonmc32 79]

I have no problems with my German wife, she is more Americanized but still has the German quirkeyness about her. She can moan a lot some times but I think most women do, no matter where they are from.

[Gwaptiva 7,116]

Strangely enough (? - maybe not), I've only dated German women in Scotland, and even though they had some typically German traits, obviously they weren't typically German throughout... since typical Germans don't live outwith Germany.

Right, but it's a common greeting that I'm used to with friends, colleagues, even strangers. I've found Germans don't really use it when they first start talking with me. Or if I ask, I often don't get a reciprocal, 'How are you?' back... which I still find weird. I would often ask my girlfriend when we first met, and she wouldn't ask me back. That's what I meant.

German guys aren't much different.

My german guy also told me how to shower (turn it off while putting shampoo in my hair, etc...) how to get rid of my hair after brushing, he likes me to use the back burners of the stove so the floor won't get dirty, he likes to have a rag next to the sink so that i can be dried after using, i could go on and on. the germans are generally very anal. My husband, my mother, both of there familys support my idea. What i think is funny is that many germans will actaully say a quality they have is being spontaneous. its not that they just are, they acatully mention it. Strange!

My German wife does the same thing, however since I am a man, and she's only suggesting (turning the water off when using soap, or not taking baths), I ignore her.

 

One issue I had with her was opening the windows before I got out of bed. She gets up at 6am, showers then opens all the windows, then I wake up at 6:30 to a freezing room. So that had to stop, she's only allowed to open the windows after I shower (or while in it). Absolutely hate getting out of bed to a cold ass room.

Better than being put away wet, yes? But why not keep it next to the bed?

The last German woman I dated did my fucking head in. She wanted sex constantly and insisted on writing rude words all over my body in black marker pen. I've still got the word 'cunt' accross both buttocks :(

[timezoner 7]

do you still have her number?

 

for a freind

My boyfriend is exactly the same, as seeing as our shower is dodgy as it takes about 3 mins to warm up again once you turn the water back on.

 

I don't agree when people say that German men don't give many compliments. I could be wearing a potato sack and smell like dog poo and my boyfriend would still say I am the most beautiful nice smelling amazing girl ever. Must be blind...

I really can't add anything here,but I feel like I've experienced every post. I just thought I could pass on a handy tip regarding cleaning, I have noticed that since I started wearing reading glasses I can notice that microbe of dust left in the bathroom. However I don't get grief anymore because I don't wear my glasses when I'm not reading so it's completely understandable that I miss such things. Reading glasses can be picked up in rossmans for 2 euros something an a major part of potential stress is avoided. Even if you have 20 -20 I recommend this as a method of avoiding common multicultural communication problems.
