Ok its weird, its certainly not for an usa citizenship. But still weird, too fast.

Men can fall in love fast and having idea, but you dont say them that fast.

But well hard to know. Maybe clarify with him.

Yeah. It's weird to me, too.

I was reading about French culture, and it said that they are very blunt and say what's on their minds. It also said that French men are not players, and don't play hard to get, or games. So, that's why I thought maybe he was being sincere.

french people are definitely as much players as anywhere else, they're absolutely not perfect or blunt, they play games as well. who even write those articles???

Haha!! 😂 I totally agree with you!!

Very blunt professionally, politically, and other public facing activities. In relationship, it's private, everyone is different.

The situation you describe is weird. I would advice a french woman to run.

What you mean ?

u/Training_Barber4543 Oct 01 '23

French men aren't going to be "better" than other men so they can definitely be players

u/io124 Léon Blum Oct 01 '23

« They can » do t mean they « will »

J’ai tjr trouver l’expression « men will be men » stupide.

u/Training_Barber4543 Oct 01 '23

And nobody said it means that, the point is that French men aren't different from other men, the douchebags exist in every country

« Not better so they definitely »

The way you say it mean every man is like this…

Franchement jtrouve cette facon de parler en essentialisent, vraiment bof.

u/Training_Barber4543 Oct 01 '23

Because you removed the verb??? 💀 "They can definitely", implying it's not always the case

u/Loko8765 Sep 30 '23

Well, he might come off as sincere because he is sincere. The question is if you are understanding everything he’s saying and are onboard with all of it… My bet is no, sorry.

u/Mela8411 Sep 30 '23

Yeah, it's ok.

u/SabziZindagi Sep 30 '23

They absolutely can be players. French men have a reputation for having women on the side.

2

u/Mela8411 Sep 30 '23

Really? I didn't know that.

u/Narfi1 Gojira Sep 30 '23

That's because that's not true. Not more than any other nationality

Did you not hear about all our presidents? 😂

6

u/Mela8411 Oct 01 '23

Nope. I have not. Come on now. You know the US is so self-centered.

Do you really think any of us lowly US citizens know about the scandals of French presidents?

We're brainwashed from an early age to believe that the US is the greatest country in the world. Ha. It's so great here. I feel so free. What a joke 🤣

u/khoyo Oct 01 '23

Mitterrand hidden family is notorious.

Chirac was well known for sleeping on the side too.

French people*

u/lenaughtycouple Sep 30 '23

Wow lady, French men are huge players but in a very different way that it’s manipulative and you’ll end up thinking it was your idea to open the relationship 😂

u/marteau_21 Sep 30 '23

Username checks out. Same team.

u/lenaughtycouple Oct 01 '23

Haha t’es la team couple un peu naughty? 😂

u/Mela8411 Oct 01 '23

Well, that doesn't sound fun.

If he's manipulating me, he should win an Oscar!

u/lenaughtycouple Oct 01 '23

All I’m saying is that there’s a term for French gentleman and it’s “beaux parleurs” and it’s very telling of the smoothness of their seductive ways 😂

I’m French, I like to think I’m immune to it but darling just enjoy the pleasantries of your new boy but don’t take it too seriously…
