I don't think it's Italians in general, just Italian-Americans. When you think about it, who were the ones most likely to come here? It wasn't the well off ones in Italy, it was mostly the poorest most low-class Italians and Sicilians that moved here out of desperation and had no jobs and no future in Italy. So that probably explains the difference in behavior and why we had all the crime and mafia and aggressive personalities.Francisco d'Anconia said:
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
What do you think of Italian-Americans....

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yes, big difference between Italians and Italian-Americans.
Italians from Italy think Italian-Americans (guido's etc) are a DISGRACE

It's hard enough for Americans to appreciate one another, find other nationalities outside the states who truly appreciate Americans are few and far between.mahon83050 said:

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

If you thought it was bad driving through there, just imagine what it's like LIVING there. I mean, after being around them for long enough, you kind of learn to ignore em, but it doesn't really change much. They're still the most obnoxious people (if you can even consider them that) I've ever seen or met. God I hate them...mahon83050 said:

I've gotta agree with what others have said, European Italians are WAY different than American Italians. I learned of that during my trip to Italy in 1999. Before going to Italy, I thought all Italians were guido/mafia types, until seeing for myself how it's not.
You go to Italy and you're likely to see lots of guys with long hair, and into rock and metal just like the rest of their European neighbors.
Many metal bands are from Italy. One in particular right off the top of my head that I can think of is Lacuna Coil, although they're more commercial goth/metal. Here's a YouTube clip of 'em.
