Most romantic nationalities

http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/life/valentines/most-romantic-nationalities-807423?hpt=hp_c3

 

Can someone help me link this, please?

 

Anyway, interesting article. Do you think certain nationalities are more romantic than others?

 

DH is Swiss/Argentine/Italian... I wish he would tune into his Argentine or Italian side more often ;D. I've dated an Italian and an Argentine. Both were short lived, but they were intense and the Italian was very romantic.

Re: Most romantic nationalities

  • Ok, when I opened this I read the cnngo part of the web address as Congo. I thought, really, Congolese men are the most romantic?

    From what I've experienced just walking around in Italy, Italian men do have a certain flair when it comes to dealing with women.

  • German men suck at being romantic. At least mine does. We don't do Valentine's Day which peeves me off. I give him a card every year but nothing in return. Because it's a "made up holiday" Aren't they all kind of made up in a sense. :D

  • Italian DH is pretty romantic. Not at all in the 'roses and and fancy dinners' kind of way. But more in the 'let's make out in the middle of the grocery store aisle' kind of way. He's very affectionate and unabashed by it. My reserved, Midwestern self needed to adjust to this.

     

    ETA: Don't worry, Alli, my Italian isn't any better at that stuff. I've had to force the issue of birthdays and other holidays with DH. If it were up to him, the days would pass by completely unnoticed.

  • I guess Spanish guys can be romantic. Perhaps, they are more open with their feelings.

    I was impressed by the article though. It seems that the author knows a lot about Spanish culture by referencing their love of mullets and rat tails.

  • My Persian but French raised H is super romantic, when we first started dating I used to joke that he was taking lines from a book.

    From my time in Vietnam, the Vietnamese are very romantic and very into love, love songs etc...

    That was an interesting article.

  • Interesting. 

    Although, I gotta ask wrt the Irish, Padriag Pearse is the most romantic Irish poet we can find?  Really?   Yeats?

  • DH is half Italian/half Dutch and he really isn't very romantic. Not in the way you'd expect from an Italian anyway. He's really really thoughtful and loving, but not romantic. He has bought me flowers exactly 0 times. Every time we've gone on a picnic, it's been my idea and I prepped everything. He does other stuff though, maybe not 'romantic' per se, but he definitely shows me he loves me on a daily basis.

    I laughed. It's particularly bad up here so close to Basque land, where you can pretty accurately guess a person's nationalist/non-nationalist political beliefs by their haircut. I almost hooked up with a guy with a dreadlock mullet my first year. Guess it was just his romantic nature, it most certainly couldn't have been his hair!

    DH is quite romantic, and I often feel inadequate. I'm... very realistic. In fact, I apologized to him this afternoon for being so dang unromantic.

    This is one of the reasons my Italian and I didn't work out. He knew how to say all the right stuff at the right time, I didn't know what to say. I hope he found another romantic Napolitan :D

    I'm just very lucky that he's got a great sense of humor. So, even if the fact that I don't think I have a romantic bone in my body (did I tell you guys I forgot our "dating anniversary" this year but he didn't?) as long as I make him laugh we're golden.
