  • I had a truly terrible introduction to dating German men. I'm actually still trying to process it.
    Hi! I'm Kelly and I am an American who lived in Germany for 18 wonderful months. While I lived abroad before in Turkey and had done quite a bit of traveling beforehand, those 18 months in Germany definitely broadened my perspective of Germany, Europe, and even the US in so many different ways! I wanted to share my perceptions with you guys through TH-cam so that maybe you can gain context to things you've heard about, or learn new information or a different perspective, or maybe this is everything you've heard before and further confirms your world view. No matter what the reason, I hope that you enjoy my videos! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications so that you always know when I'm posting new content :)

    if you walked away from this video thinking that I didn't enjoy this date simply because he brought up the US president or defense budget, then I suppose my "acting" and story telling was just not good enough to convey my actual concerns to you. I will try to do better next time!

      Hey Kelly, in my eyes that‘s definitely not the impression that comes across. This seems to have been just a completeley insensitive, self centered (perhaps also insecure) guy, that finally turned out to be dishonest in addition to all of that. Your acting skills are superb 👍

      Well the thing that was the most normal thing he did was the Hitler joke. The younger generations doing that. The older ones of course refuse to. But other than that everything was really a bad date.. There are so many good guys in Germany and it is sad that you met such one.

      I know this is a joke, but you really shouldnt discuss this unless you really know what you are saying. Before Trump social security, medicare, medicaid, CHIP, and affordable health care act recieved way way way way more money than the defense.
      National Guard is part of the defense budget. The National Guard is deployed to every single major natural disaster in the US and the personel doesnt work for free. The National Guard also go to other countries who had a natural disaster if and only if the foreign government is ok with it. In 2005 hurricane Wilma hit my area really really bad. The National Guard came to help my campus police. The guards "post" was checking id at the 30 different entrances we had. If you didnt belong on campus you werent allowed on campus. At night they would help walk with students to their car or dorm. They were at our campus for 3 months. This all cost money. For just my campus it cost taxpayer $20,000. Again this was just my campus and for just 3 months and for just 1 hurricane. For 2020 a lot of defense money went into helping with Corona virus. The US used Navy Ships and doctors to help with the cases. Again this costs money. Navy personel dont work for free.

      @@jessicaely2521 I'm confused about several things. What's a campus police? And why is it checking the entrances or why aren't some people allowed on campus?
      Also: If hurricanes hit the USA that often, wouldn't it be better to put more money in preparations instead of guards to protect people from, I have really no idea from what... Looters? (Sorry, but this sounds like apocalyptic proportions to me)
      I think it's good that the US Navy helped during Corona, but again, wouldn't it be better to prepare the Healthcare Department with the money instead of solving every problem with the military as last resort?

      @@nadinagebert3644 campus police is police that only patrols the University grounds and outer edges. You have to think about Universities as small cities in the US. If you do this its just a city police department. Since global warming is happening hurricanes are becoming stronger and stronger and stronger. They are also becoming wetter. You dont know how to prepare for something when you never ever seen the strength before. You cant build something you dont have the capability for. Power is always knocked out after hurricanes. There is no way around this. If Europe had strong hurricanes their power would be knocked out also. Majority of Europe would actually have more damage to street lamps, stop and go lights, signs, etc than the US. Yes I have traveled Europe and you lamp posts, stop and go lights, etc arent strong whatsoever. When a hurricane snaps a concrete lamp post in half little metal street lamps arent going to hold up to the power of a hurricane. Hurricanes does damage over a gigantic space. For example the hurricane I was talking about in the post... You had to get in your car and drive 7 hours before you found a place that had power. At this time there was only 1 place in the entire US that made light poles, stop lights, traffic signs, etc. This particular year the US was hit by a record number of hurricanes. The business that supplies these things was overwhelmed. Now they have around 10. They are building more. You have to have people that are willing to make and sell street signs, traffic lights, etc.
      Now for the corona thing. The ships were only there to provide space for beds. Hospitals had plenty of medical personnel. Hospitals just didnt have the space. Tax payers have to pay for gasoline, electricity, water, cooks, etc. It isnt free to run a ship. Hospital campuses generally fill up their entire property will buildings or parking lots. You cant magically make an entire building appear. Also hospitals arent going to build a building that sits empty for 99.9% of the time. Its way way way way to expensive to do that. Think about this. The last gigantic flu pandemic was 100 years ago. Swine flu, bird flu, all the other pandemics didnt affect as many people. My point here is you arent going to let a building sit empty for 100 years.

    I was on a double date and coming back from the restroom to the table in a restaurant, everyone was on their way to the car and I was told by the guy that they had already paid and all I had to do was put in my share of the bill in (my wife already contributed). I calculate it out and it was seriously low, so I put in enough to cover more than my share and the whole tip. I was pretty annoyed but I waited and complained to my wife later that she had not tipped at all - it turns out she put in a generous tip and the other couple actually stole the money off the table.
    That was the last time I saw them or spoke to them. People show you who they are by how they treat those around them.
    They always talked in the past about how they don't really tip unless the waiter is somehow psychically aware that their glass has been empty for no less than 30 seconds and fills it back up but I never thought they would steal money from us.

    We had such a weirdo in my group of friends in high school. No filter at all, weirdly condescending and negative for no reason and seemingly always trying to make everyone around him uncomfortable.
    He was a super late child. His parents were in their late 40s when they had him and they just spoiled him and let him get away with everything. They treated him more like a grandchild than like their actual son.
    I don't really know why we hung out with him. He just tagged along and we all just shrugged and accepted it. Also, sometimes we were amused by his antics.
    He would just walk up to girls at parties and tell them that they were fat and stuff like that.
    One time, he and another guy had a female class mate over at his house. They played strip poker and made her drunk. No statutory rape happened, thank god, but only because she puked all over his bed room carpet.
    He forced her to clean his room before she was allowed to leave.
    I think he was a genuine psychopath, or something like that.
    When we graduated, I broke off contact to him, but I met him again 2 or 3 years later. He was on the run from Turkish loan sharks from whom he had borrowed money to pay for expensive private Kung Fu lessons.
    Last thing I heard of him was that he runs a online store where he sells books about "White Magic" and dream catchers and stuff like that.

    It's true that Germans can be way too serious when they are supposed to be having fun (especially in the south). I am a chatty person from the Upper Midwestern USA and learned to speak fluent German before I got here but found it extremely difficult to make friends and date those first few months here in Stuttgart. Something that never ever, ever happened to me anywhere else -- is when attempting small talk at a bar or club someone would tell me that they haven't come out to talk but only want to sit alone in 'Ruhe' (in silence). I mean -- don't people go out to have fun and isn't light conversation with strangers a part of that? I soon learned to respect the Swabian art of distancing because sometimes such people were so overjoyed to be meeting an American that I couldn't get rid of them ~!! Americans may be superficial at times but we have the art of speaking with strangers down to a science. I mean, in Milwaukee (and Ireland and Italy, too) -- if someone doesn't care to have company at the bar they will deflect you with finesse -- like making a joke or looking at their watch or something to give you a hint. They don't just tell you in monotone 'I do not vant it speaking wit you at dis time... " (Sigh).

      As a German in France I am fed up by "comment ca va?" (how are you) and the reply has to be (at least I got the impression during my stays in the US) "fine". Once a friend of me heard the following conversation in a hotel in NY: Lady 1 "how are you?" Lady 2 "my father passed away this night" Lady 1 "oh, fine, fine....". Since I heard this my standard answer is "bad". This creates interesting conversations or stupid replies "but no, you are well". Jerk, if you know how I am, why do you ask?...
