What surprised you most about the Americans you have met in real life?

nothing we are some of if not the best people on earth

>>76528383
How fit, eloquent and friendly they are.

I take it your obese people don't vacation in ireland

>>76528383
They are very nice. Good modals. Also very curious.

>>76528383
How loud they are. Even when they're talking to each other they're basically shouting.

Are you saying Americans don't have the capacity to not talk at full volume whenever they're on public transport?

How they never shut up and say stupid shit even more than aussies do...

They were exactly like I expected them to be. Not a bad thing though, americans are nice and stand by their principles

Very nice people.

You have the most fucking stupid people, probably legally retarded, living with some of the brightest people on Earth
It baffles me that you could ask one American what the capital of their country is, and they'd stare at you with a complete blank look.
Yet another can go into a deep conversation about anything really. Science, history, politics, etc.

they are extremely fat and some dirty, pretty polite people though, seem a bit naive and childish, their humour is maximum cringe.

>>76529839
This goes for basically all countries though

>>76529712
Chinese aren't actually loud, fucked up tonal languages just make them seem loud

>>76529874
True, but the UStatians get stereotyped more often than other nationalities for being dumb.

Nothing. They're exactly like on TV.

>>76528383
How fragile your egos are. Literally glass tier.

>>76529299
That pretty much sums up Italian-Americans.

They are too religious. In europe there is many christians too but they don't talk about it, therefore with americans it's always about jesus..

>>76530244
Maybe because we are actual Christians instead of fake shit aka Catholics.

>>76528873
American tourists are always very loud.

They can often be heard shouting above all the Aussies talking normally.

>>76528383
they all were really cool to hang out with, memes aside

>>76530292
Why is there always a dumb american to confirm the clichés I make about them?

you guys are all kind of excited, like you normal 'level' is just a bit louder or higher than everyone else. i want to say you come off kind of naive or impressionable too but that's probably just my own bullshit speaking

don't self-deprecate and can't always take a joke either. the banter stereotype has some truth

nice people though.

Moved to the states from the UK when I was 30. I'd say that the things I noticed most about americans were:

>loud speaking voices
>bad fashion sense
>obesity
>much more trusting
>much more independent and self-reliant
>more tyrones but fewer pajeets and mohammeds
>much more driven and view successful people positively


Also noticed that the standard of living is pretty significantly higher in the US than in the UK.

>>76531805

Aus is pretty much just like the American southwest with different accents.

Many reasons. Americans just have much more disposable income. They generally have more/larger/better cars, homes, electronics, etc.

Overall the cost of living in the US is much lower while wages are significantly higher when compared to the UK.

How often people here eat out, and how cheap it can be to eat out. We have restaurants and delis back home, but it's something I might only do once a month or so (and it's a treat, not for convenience). After hanging out with my burger uni peers, it's totally normal to eat out a meal or two every other day.

>>76532212

Not entirely. The environment is significantly better (weather, space, cleanliness) and their attitudes are very different. (White) Americans are much more driven and view success positively. If you achieve any measure of success in the UK, others view you very negatively and try to tear you down. The British have a very "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

>>76532286

Noticed this as well. In the UK I probably ate out once a month or so. Now I likely go once a week.

Also, life in America is much more convenient and easy generally.

They're surprisingly nice unlike what the average burger anon would make you think, and also most of the ones I've seen aren't fat.

>>76532286

That's really a city thing. The farther from major cities you go the less common it is.

>>76532296
americans are also extremely judgmental, cold, individualistic and unable to make up with friends/acquaintances. you get offended by absolutely anything too because you are that insecure.

also they can't cook or do really basic house shit. lived with 18 year olds who couldn't fry a damn egg or a pancake, clean the place or take care of their own injuries. even the girls. jesus fuck girls were amazed I could cook rice, pasta and pancakes.

The low-key places and food trucks are better anyway. If you're into authentic ramen, I suggest going to Jinya over in Bellevue, since it's difficult to find the real deal anywhere else (and it's fairly cheap for a big portion). Oodles Noodles or w/e in Bellevue also has incredible and MASSIVE noodle dishes for something like 10 bux.
