Have you actually met a real life American?

Are there any distinctive features?

>>216410764 (OP)

>>216410805
>any distinctive features?

>>216410805
Anglo or Non-Anglo?
>>216410844

>>216410764 (OP)

>>216410764 (OP)

What kind of real life American are you?

>>216410805
The distribution of complementary cowboy guns to all present.

>>216410805
All white americans look like this

I trained with some muhreens in the army. They were all smiles, but I got the impression it was fake. Like they didn't want to be there. I'm 99% sure they had some training on the ship before they came to try to 'make friends' with their newly gained ally. But they probably didn't want to do this sort of hearts and minds shit with some euro conscripts like me.

Americans go to Europe and then spend their entire stay driving back and forth between the hotel and the nearest McDonald's. I visit neither place, so there hasn't been an opportunity yet

No wonder you guys are only capable of a plastic imitation of genuine friendliness

>>216411678
It's not friendly to fake a smile, or to SEEM friendly when you aren't in your heart. You can easily notice if a person is genuinely happy or simply putting on a show. We went to Sauna together and they genuinely liked it, probably because it was a new and exciting experience for them, but at other times it was obvious they didn't want to be there.

I wish to be in Lapland right now

>>216410764 (OP)
I don't think so

>>216411776
not right now it's shit weather with slosh all over. late autumn/ early spring is the worst period in this country. Dead of winter and high summer are much more enjoyable. it's not even negative degrees right now

>>216411842
So pretty much the same as here, which is fine because I like this sort of weather. But I agree, dead of winter is the peak Lapland experience

>>216410764 (OP)
Easily my favourite group
Germans have a certain weirdness
British are generally miserable
Irish are funny as fuck but only when drunk and then you can't understand a word
Americans are just normal people with charisma that talk weird while still being easy to understand.

Yeah, we had a exchange students from the USA and France in our class at one point.

>>216412012
We've also had American exchange students at school. The girl was literally American Gerta Thunberg, so people didn't really like her. The boy was nice and he was bisexual and got along well with the guys into music and he had sex with a guy I know. People didn't care cause they were the cool kids.
Otherwise I've meet Americans in America and I found them pretty nice and easy to talk to.

>>216410764 (OP)
Yes, a friend married one and moved back to Blighty with her. Nice woman, but she keeps hosting July 4th celebrations in her english house and wonders why some Brits find it a bit odd.

Yes I deal with them regularly

>>216410764 (OP)
yeah a kinda famous youtuber in the genre of offroad racing came here to shoot and he looked so confused and lonely in the food tent i invited him to sit and chat with us and he was chill af, a really good guy.
met others as well but they never really came out as americans.

I met a yank exchange student when at uni. I took him and his french girlfriend to the gun range and let them shoot pistols. She was a far better marksman than he was, and she was more interested in guns too kek.

I met a lot of marines and embassy workers,they were actually really cool and aproachable which is a contrast to the rabid american dog who populates the internet.

I met a few during university, nice and friendly people who were genuinely curious about our country

i have never been to gayrope but when i do go there i will be the loudest fattest dumbest americunt you will ever meet and you WILL tolerate me for my petrodollars

>>216412596
Det finns pistolklubbar i de flesta städer, och man måste ha varit aktiv i minst 6 månader för att få en egen licens. Det är dock väntetid för att bli medlem på de flesta platser.

Yes, the only American I saw up close was an exchange student that just turned out in class mid year and she was unbelievably fat. Cliches are true.

Served alongside some in the 1st Gulf War. Friendly and always willing to trade their rations, hats and cap badges with ours, but their weapon discipline was a bit slack. We manned a road checkpoint with them - they would often turn up armed with shotguns and bolt action rifles they had bought from home along with their issued rifles, one even turned up wearing a pair of tooled leather holsters carrying chromed revolvers stretched over his uniform and armor. After they had a couple of NDs (usually from fiddling with their guns when bored) we ended up taking shifts in turns instead of doing it with them.

Another time we had a bunch of American Pioneers arrive at our base in Portsmouth. These blokes were all huge, like WWF wrestlers and had special high calorie diets. Had a few laughs over the language differences, pants (underwear), fags (cigarettes), etc. A black soldier of ours asked one yank what he did for fun at home, the American replied 'Coon hunting' meaning the animal. (Coon is a racial slur in the uk). They took their daily flag saluting really seriously though, a shit storm was caused when some joker of ours swaped their stars and stripes for the union jack on July 4th.

do brits really?

>>216413108

its a racial slur here too

>>216412921
tenker bare at jeg har sannsynligvis like mange pistolklubber og skytebaner i sverige som jeg har innen min radius i norge.
har allerede papir for å kjøpe det jeg vil av pistoler eller revolvere.

Borde inte vara omöjligt att bli medlem i en klubb på vår sida av gränsen.

Yeah, a interchange student that looked like a 20yo despite being a teen, hot as fuck (she wasn't fat!).
A friend tried to rape her, it was funny.

Takes like half an hour to drive to the nearest beach to find one

I wish you had left your bones in the desert, seeing as service in england isn't mandatory.

Don't be so harsh, he was a social retard with no game + being a horny teen.

Of course. Americans are generally the best people you can meet. Here in Austria I know a few Americans. One Asian American girl who hates America for various reasons. We're not friends anymore because she was just using me, and she's lesbian, and she has a lot of issues. I know some older Americans here who are really intelligent sounding, and very soft spoken. I know one Dutch-American whom I now hate because he's also an extremely manipulated back-stabbing piece of shit. He didn't identify as American though. He wanted to be seen as European. When I was in Japan, one American almost attacked me while we were waiting for train tickets. The guy was deranged. Anyway, besides that, I've met a few others along my travels. They were always great to talk to.
