It seems to be a strange US-American thing that you are not allowed to look at strangers who come towards you. With 656 recorded mass shootings in the US in 2023 alone, you should take a VERY close look at who is coming towards you.
Nobody said you can’t look at ppl, it’s the constant STARE they are talking about. Btw out of all those mass shootings most are related to gangs and very few are randoms targeted.
Many people see it as staring, but we don't walk blindly through the neighborhood, of course we look at the person we are passing and find it quite normal. You could also say it's weird that Americans have to be so loud everywhere. But you can say of us Germans that once you've found a friend here, you can rely on him 100% Right, when we talk, we look the other person in the eye, that's respect for the other person.
I never realize that people here supposedly do that staring. I don't do it myself. There is only one thing that can change this: If I see a deceptively real Doppelgänger of someone I know. If I stare into the air, maybe out of focus, doin my thing, then it's not staring AT someone. Maybe this habbit get's mistaken?
Always taking of your shoes is wrong. It strongly depends on the occasion why and how long you're visitng. addition: Not every german househoild has spare houseshoes. When they insist that you take them off, most of the time it's totally fine to walk on your socks
Never ever would I wear spare houseshoes. My guests can decide what they prefer, their own shoes or socks, but houseshoes are a complete and utter no-go to me.
As a genuine German, I am very surprised by the statement that Germans stare at other people. That is complete nonsense. Brief eye contact is okay, but that's about it. They perhaps prefer eye contact in conversations more than other peoples. But apart from that, they don't usually stare at anyone. At least that's the case here in Bremen and northern Germany as a whole, and I haven't seen any Germans staring on trips to other German cities either.
@@pok81Related to the “starring” aspect is the amount of personal space people grant each other. This can be as simple as the distance between people waiting in a queue. Germans, but also other Europeans, get an average closer to others than Americans. It’s the same with “starring”, how often and for how many seconds do you look directly at people while, eg, in a supermarket? Maybe the average is one person and half a second in America and two persons and one second in Germany. I’ve spend some time in the U.S., and several people there remarked that I “stare” at others more. Nobody ever said that to me in Germany. You can hear the same story from many people who have spend time in both countries.
Völlig richtig, es ist auch in Deutschland absolut Unhöflich und Respektlos jemanden anzustarren und wenn mir sowas passiert spreche ich denjenigen auch darauf an
I don't know where the Americans who live in Germany are. This video is full of stereotypes. I also feel a bit sorry for the man because he has never experienced the diversity of German culture. I find it very strange how Americans imagine Germans and project their experiences onto the entire German people. I'll summarize what is said about us Germans in the various videos. We never cross the red light, we are unfriendly, we stare at everyone, we constantly shout in an ugly language, we drink beer and eat sausage and woe betide anyone who puts on slippers when they visit us despite the many bad qualities we have. Then we open the window so that the visitor gets some fresh air. Then we look out the window and make sure that the neighbor separates the garbage. We clap when someone does something right. That is of course a scandal. And of course we are robots, always on time and always follow the rules etc. I am German but if everyone in Germany were like that, I think I would emigrate. But I'm telling you, Germany is not as it is always portrayed. Why does this man live in Germany? There must be reasons why so many Americans live in Germany. I don't understand it.
Europeans in general are very unfriendly and not anywhere near as outgoing and friendly as Americans. I’m from Brazil but I’ve never been treated better than I have been in the US.
They also look at you on the street because you are pretty, wear nice clothes, are in a good mood, smile, speak another language or just have fun. They are happy for you and it is not embarrassing at all. Nobody wants to harm you and they don't want to have to look away because Americans are so strange.
Staring is considered rude in Germany, too. There is a difference between people looking and staring. We do look each other in the eye when talking. That is considered to be polite and shows that you pay attention. If someone stares too much we ask: do you want a picture of me so you don't need to stare at me? Pretty passive-aggressive now that I think about it. If people stare at you in public transportation that probably means you are annoying them somehow. It might be the forerunner to the "hallooo".
At night my bedroom window is always open, winter, snow, no problem, only when it's super warm in summer I leave it closed and and turn on the AC...😅 Absolutely noone I know has house slippers just waiting for guests. Shoes do come off every time, but usually everyone just walks in their socks. If you ask for slippers some will be dug up from somewhere... I never heared of someone bringing their own house slippers...? Often when there is a party with lots of people going in and out all the time the host will tell you to "just leave your shoes on" when you arrive, because it's easier for everyone and they will just clean afterwards...
Grüßt euch ! It is true that in Germany it is normal to look at a person when you greet them! A quick glance, you are present, you show attention! In german we say : " Jemanden , eines Blickes würdigen ! " You told respect ! Now, the different kinds of watching ! There is, for example, the saying “Look at me when I talk to you! ” Mostly when parents say something important to their children or when the child has misbehaved! Eye contact is a form of body language and should be used with feeling! Staring too long is rather unpleasant for both sides ! A brief glance when greeting or as a sign that you are listening or have accepted/understood/comprehended something. 1. second ! More is not necessary ! Passive relaxed looking is no problem ! Intrusive staring is also considered unpleasant or rude behavior in Germany! When saying “hello”, it always depends on the situation. And how you emphasize it. Is it reserved or energetic? The “hello” which is not meant as a greeting is usually spoken louder and/or longer, sometimes emphasized as a question! ( Hallohooooo ? ) Or Haaaalloo ! as a kind of request ! This is usually about attention A moviescene, as example: “Back in the Future s, Biff”, is a good example. “ Hellohooo, Mc Fly ?, Mc Flyhyy !!! ” It is based on the hello when waking up or being woken up! “Hello! Get up! You have to go to work! “ It is a reference to the fact that you should reflect, think, etc. The facial expressions and gestures are also different from a “hello” ! 🙂
😂 starren??? Muss du keine Angst haben! Wenn ich mit Menschen rede schaue ich sehr genau in die Augen, sie sind das Spiegelbild unserer Seele, der Vorteil ist an Pupillen vergrößert oder verkleinert kannst du sehr gut erkennen ob dich jemand mag oder nicht. Wo soll ich denn sonst hinschauen um meinen Gesprächspartner zu suggerieren das ich 100% zuhöre😅. Grüße aus Deutschland NRW ❤
The "i press my thumbs for you" in German is the same like "i cross my fingers for you" in english and the German "hello?" is the same like "excuse me?" in english
The shoe rule is not that strict in most households. Sure there are people that want that you take them off and it is respected but houseshoes for guests are extremly rare.
2:20 Quite the contrary. The way US americans (and many other people from elsewhere) pretend you don't exist by simply looking away - that's just rude. He's not entirely correct about house shoes btw - we don't have house shoes for guests most of the time. We have house shoes for ourselves in our home, but if you want to wear house shoes when you visit someone then you have to being your own house shoes. I'm German and I have never been to a household who had houseshoes for guests.
Looking at someone and looking away is not rude, it’s minding your own business. Americans are far more friendly and willing to speak to strangers than Europeans. I’m from Brazil and the ppl in Europe are just anti social.
Calling people out if they do something wrong (like putting waste in the wrong bin) is a thing in Germany, but I feel it's not that extreme everywhere.
What kind of bullshit is this? We Germans don´t stare, but we keep eye contact when talkig to people, because it is polite to look the significant other in the eyes instead of eying everything else.
The problem with recycling is not that it would be so difficult to understand. Everybody can learn that. The real problem is that the rules are different in each and every town or even village and that is a really a German issue.
"... spiders are so big ... and scary !", ... well, another advantage of Northern Europe, or especially Germany, is that there are no animals and/or insects that constantly want to kill you. This is completely different in parts of the States, or Australia, for example, I'm afraid...
Just like several other comments already said: this video is full of stereotypes (like so many other videos about Germany). For example: you don't have to take off your shoes UNLESS the owner of a home demands it. Its even easy to see if you need to take off your shoes: if there are shoes in front of the door then you need to take off your shoes and if there are no shoes in front of the door then there is either nobody at home or the people that live there don't give a shit (and its not gross unless you deliberately stepped in dog shit. The streets here in Germany are rather clean and we clean the floors in our homes very often).
#1: I like how Mark chose video examples where all the Germans were staring. Seriously though: We stare, but not necessarily AT you, but in your direction. Mostly inside public transports. You gotta point your eyes somewhere, why not at the most interesting thing in sight? #2: Not just in Germany #3: Occasionally you are obliged by your rental contract to let some air in, otherwise mold can spread - especially in old houses. We usually don't have AC, so that's the way to get some air circulation #4: Rarely a concern for tourists #5: Oh, hallo! #6: Time for Fremdschämen 7#: Can't make it on time? Drop a line about it 8#: Follow the rules ;)

It sometimes seems to me that the behavior of us Germans is exaggerated. We only stare at people because we want to be sure that they don't mean us any harm. We want to know what kind of person they are. This is also for safety from strangers.
for me its really weird or even disturbing that you need schoolbusses, metal detectors, security or even police and bulletproof doors in the schools to be safe. that would not make me feel my kid is safe here. and lots of other stuff but most americans dont see that cuz most americans live in a bubble everything outside these bubble dont exist and cant be good cuz its not american 😅 ps i dont hate america my girlfriend is from california but americans have such a diffrent point of view i often dont understand it like why do some parents think its needed or good to teach your 6 year old how to shot for another example. guns dont belong in kids hands.
Vocês ainda não entenderam que deixar o povo ignorante sobre tudo o que existe além da fronteira de seu país é uma política dos EUA ? Eles não querem que vocês saibam de nada sobre as outras nações, assim podem lhes dizer que os Estados Unidos são a melhor nação do mundo.
Hello from Germany (Hamburg) I'm glad you Like my hometown ! Maybe you'II have the opportunity to visit Germany! Many foreigners have found a new Home Here! More and more Americans are also finding their new Home Here! I recommend you watch Type Ashton's Videos Here on TH-cam! Most Germans speak English which makes communication easier! 🙋🤗
Don't watch those kinda videos when you travel, most of it is bs 1. No one cares about Jay walking, even in big cities with lots of traffic 2. If you don't stare at people they won't stare back and if you talk to someone holding eye contact is respectful. Like if you talk to smo in the us, do you just look at the floor? No 3. Lüften(opening the Window) is just free air conditioning 4. House shoes are not manifested in our culture like in some asian countries 5. Recycling is easy, everything is colored or has pictures on it like the glas container. It only sounds weird for people who don't have a recycling system at all (US)
Nah dude... If you jaywalk i will call you out. Its the most basic example you can participate in in a society to show to your kids. And the people who dont even follow those basic laws are trash to me.
Erm...you are watching a video from a guy who is telling germans do eye contact a lot and in his video i see no one doing it. Strange, isnt? Well...mabye bc we dont stare. We are looking around when we are walking or hiking or going in to a bar or driving with the subway or whenever we are moving. I am pretty sure every human looks around when they do an activity like moving around. So...first point? Nah...
Ugh..that stare stereotype. Nobody stares..esp not that much that it gets creepy. Thats like a "main character syndrome"...everybody just looks at each other, checking out who is passing by. Youre not that important that everyone just stares at you like youre not from this world. If youre an obnoxious loud american tourist and draw attention to you..well then expect to get looks. Yes, eye contact is a thing..tells if you want to hide something when you avoid eye contact. But thats not stareing, that is simple awareness. Nobody knows youre not from here and we dont have a 6th sense "oh..look at them tourists". The only people that do stare are old people..and they stare at everyone and everything. Dont know if americans are so closed up or how that stereotype came to be..dont you look at people that pass by? "Everybody stares at me"..yeh..only you..just you..the whole city at once. Take everything the guy said with a big pinch of salt.
looking another person in the eye shows your soul and meaning towards me, and also mine towards you? so you are always uncomfortable whilst you are deep in conversation with one another? thats quite unpleasent!
You- can hunt the spider with your vacuum cleaner. I wonder if the spider will continue to live in that machine. 🙂 Is it big? Wast separation is a topic for old people - maybe they're bored.
Germans are not Caucasians. People who come from Eastern Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Northern Iran are “Caucasians”. I have no idea why “White People” are called Caucasians in the USA. My race is also not white, but my race called "Homo Sapiens Sapiens", if you take it exactly.
Eye contact ??? Stupid. Guess, same as most human beeing we do not love it. Or lets say, not too intensive. Think it is fine to look into the eyes of other people while they tell you something wlse. It shows respect and that you are interested in about what he/ is telling you. For me, it's nothing wrong with it. Anyway. It is a culture thing.
It seems to be a strange US-American thing that you are not allowed to look at strangers who come towards you. With 656 recorded mass shootings in the US in 2023 alone, you should take a VERY close look at who is coming towards you.

My window in the bedroom is always open. Even in winter at -10°. This is the best sleep

Yes, eye contact is a thing..tells if you want to hide something when you avoid eye contact. But thats not stareing, that is simple awareness. Nobody knows youre not from here and we dont have a 6th sense "oh..look at them tourists". The only people that do stare are old people..and they stare at everyone and everything. Dont know if americans are so closed up or how that stereotype came to be..dont you look at people that pass by? "Everybody stares at me"..yeh..only you..just you..the whole city at once. Take everything the guy said with a big pinch of salt.
looking another person in the eye shows your soul and meaning towards me, and also mine towards you? so you are always uncomfortable whilst you are deep in conversation with one another? thats quite unpleasent!
You- can hunt the spider with your vacuum cleaner. I wonder if the spider will continue to live in that machine. 🙂 Is it big? Wast separation is a topic for old people - maybe they're bored.
I love my white/caucasian Germans 😉🤍🤍🤍💪
Germans are not Caucasians. People who come from Eastern Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Northern Iran are “Caucasians”.
I have no idea why “White People” are called Caucasians in the USA. My race is also not white, but my race called "Homo Sapiens Sapiens", if you take it exactly.
Eye contact ??? Stupid. Guess, same as most human beeing we do not love it. Or lets say, not too intensive. Think it is fine to look into the eyes of other people while they tell you something wlse. It shows respect and that you are interested in about what he/ is telling you.
For me, it's nothing wrong with it. Anyway. It is a culture thing.
Your us friendliness is fake
open the eyes, south germany is not germany
You both are so gorgeous 😊
He is NO ONE! STOP TALKING TO HIM!!!
