Okay... so, I don't really have a point here, but maybe this will kick off an interesting discussion.
I'm amazed at how nice and pleasant it is to date in Norway. I go out to a bar, I smile at a girl, she smiles back, we chat, and maybe I get her number.
If a girl is attracted to me she seems to smile back without hesitation. I don't see any of the same games that I found in America.
I don't want to put the blame on the women here, but it seems that American women always are on the defensive in a social situation, and you, as a guy, always have to overcome that hurdle. Only rarely have I had American woman who openly, and blatantly, smile back at me in a bar. But it happens all the time here in Europe.
If nothing else, I think American women are much, much, more subtle. In America, you hear quotes all the time like: "He's clueless", "He just didn't get the hint at all." I don't believe that really exists in Europe, or at least not to the same extent.
Why _hint_? If you like someone, why not make it clear? If you don't like someone, why not make that clear?
I know that I'm generalizing, but thoughts?
