		<description>This is why is dumb that a European man (also many US born man raised by a European mother) to marry an American woman and should stick to European women or a US born woman that is raised by a European born mother. This is also why it is recommend that European women (also in many cases but not all an American born and raised women by a European mother) marry European man and stay away from American man. European man should only marry European women. It is also recommend that American man should only marry American women and stay away from European/foreign women (International child abduction). You are a European or American based on how you are raised by your parents when you are a small child not was you are born. I&#039;m an American Citizen but my parent&#039;s are European, I was born in America, but I was raised as I would be if I lived in Europe. So. You decide. I still have European mentality. There for when I walk the streets in Asia, Africa, Canada, Latin America &amp; Europe, every body thinks that I was born in Europe and it is impossible for any body to tell that I am an American based on the way I was raised by my parents when I was a small child and behave other then the fact I speak English with a American accent. I had Canadians tell me that when I visited Canada that they hate the Americans (US citizens) becase they can not proparly present them selves abroad and the only reason they liked me is because I am a European.

When Americans travel abroad to other countries they stick out and hated by the rest of the world (Example Asia, Africa, Canada, Europe &amp; Mexico/Latin America) is because they are raised by there parrents when they are children and behave different than the rest of the world. You can pick the Americans apart from the rest of the world (they can not properly present them selves abroad). Between 40 and 60 percent of American women are overweight. In Russia and Europe, between 95 and 100 percent of the young women are skinny or height/weight proportionate. This is absolutely indisputable, apparent, objectively measurable, and not subject to relative opinion or standards at all, as it has to do with obvious physical differences apparent to the naked eye that even the biggest idiot in the world who goes to both regions could identify immediately without effort. This is easily perceived and is very obvious when Americans travel to other countries.

Brits who have met Americans in Europe regard a lot of them as arrogant because by announcing that they are American seems to make them think that they deserve preferential treatment. In Britain that is frowned upon – seriously. From a personal point of view, I treat Americans as I treat everybody else. The same thing happens when Americans travel to other countries example Canada, France and Japan. When Americans visit those countries the local populations hates those Americans for this reason alone.

When the children of Tiger Woods visit other countries people would think they are born in Sweden and the daughter of Rupert Murdoch’s daughter would be mistaken as Chinese not American. US Diplomats who work for the State Department are liked in more than 100 countries that have diplomatic relations with the United States. This is because they can properly present them selves abroad.

Most Americans (both male and female) with a European born parent can easily pass as a European when they travel to other countries because they got something extra from there European parents (that majority of Americans do not get) and they know this to because that is what most Europeans tell them. I&#039;m an American Citizen but my parent&#039;s are European, I was born in America, but I was raised as I would be if I lived in Europe. So. You decide. For example an American man born and raised the 1970’s in Texas with a German mother, the French would think he was born in Germany if he were to visit France 30 years later for work/business (no American influence). A few years earlier I saw a 12-year-old girl with her Germany mother at work. I thought she was from Germany, because she is not more Americanized than an average German child that has never been to the USA and her German mother. That was the first thing I noticed when I saw her with her German mother. I also noticed that she is better behaved than most American children/adults and has a better relationship with mother than most American children and she was speaking German to her mother. She told me that when she visits Germany it is impossible to tell that she is an American based on the way she behaves and is raised. Her German mother conformed that that is correct. The child told me that she was born in the USA (around 1998) to German parents who immigrated to the USA shortly before she was born and still have their green card but she has duel German/US nationality. According to her German mother she has the skills to Germany survive in Germany easily as her German parents can and can be equally be trusted. Many Americans who are raised that way by European parents use European passports of their parent’s native country when they travel to other countries so it is impossible for any body to tell that they are Americans. This is because in many countries they say in the open they hate Americans because Americans cannot properly present them selves abroad. For instance, SOME Europeans have a low view of Americans and thus any thing that an American does may be viewed negatively. In some countries, like France, the French may actually go out of their way to demonstrate rudeness to Americans, mis-direct them and speak ill of them to their faces.

While most Americans of Asian decent if they were to walk the streets in other countries people think they are born in Asia. They generally do not care if they are born in the USA because they usually show no American influence and never will (different race). This is why Rupert Murdoch is married to a Chinese woman and has a daughter with her. That way his daughter would be mistaken as Chinese not American when they travel to other countries.

Most Americans born to immigrant parents/grand parents of Latin American would be mistaken as Europeans and or people from Latin America not Americans when they travel to other countries.

Those children/grand children of immigrant are usually the Americans that US companies send abroad for business. American companies cannot sent Americans abroad that people in other countries do not like and do not have the skills to properly present them selves abroad and will be declared Persona non grata (Latin, plural: personae non gratae), literally meaning &quot;an unwelcome person&quot;, is a legal term used in diplomacy that indicates a proscription against a person entering the country. It is the most serious form of censure which one country can apply to foreign diplomats, who are otherwise protected by diplomatic immunity from arrest and other normal kinds of prosecution.

American (United States) Radio talks show host Tom Leykis he has given up along time ago dating American women who are born in the USA and act like Americans. The women he as stuck that are born in another country (outside the USA) and came to the United States at any age. He also stuck to American women (born in the United States) who have parents/grand parents who came from another country. They are old-fashioned subscribe to culture and costumes of the country where there parents/grand parents are from. American women do not like the competition they get from other countries with increased immigration to the United States. Many foreign women have a very negative opinion of American women.</description>

		<description>@ Broche - &quot;If, however, you’re staying in a hostel because in addition to wanting the cheapest option, you’re looking to meet other travelers and have a good time sharing experiences, advice, clothing, booze, food, etc., then you’re in the right place, regardless of age.&quot;  - Well said!  I think you&#039;re right...it&#039;s not so much about age as it is about you&#039;re reasons for staying in a hostel in the first place.

I&#039;ve found that as I&#039;ve gotten older, the novelty and excitement of meeting other travelers has worn thin and more often then not, I just want to be by myself.  I&#039;m not sure if that has to do with my age or the fact that I&#039;ve just stayed in too many hostels.</description>
