In this video, I compare the differences that I noticed between my German boyfriends that I've had and the American boyfriends that I had! (US vs Germany). So: the dating differences. I've lived in Germany for 2.5 years so I've had some time to collect some differences :) I also talk about subjects of: Body hair, armpit hair, hair style, compared to California style, directness, shorts, dating apps, meetings in bars and clubs, being approached, the talk: asking will you be my girlfriend?, who pays for dates, being TOO honest, WhatsApp communication style, pet-names: Schatz, Babe, Sweetie, Süßer, Süße, longterm differences: marriage expectation 5 vs 10 years, not getting married? Married before age 30?
Please subscribe, like the video, and follow along every week for a new video. :) I give expat tips for living in Germany, cultural difference videos, and tips on how to learn German!

Dont worry about being attacked online. its comon here cause people here can be very toxic online. but in general noone has anything against negative arguments or if you got other experience in live. just dont take it personal if someone feels offended and stay above stupid people who are not willing to comunicate in propper ways (greeting from germany)

I am a German woman, aged 30, and my first reaction to some of your points was "No, that's exaggerated". But on second thought, your observations are quite accurate, I think. I am truly shocked though that you were called out on your armhair by some guys. Makes me wanna apologize on their behalf 😅 Take on a little of our German bluntness and tell them to shut up, if it ever happens again 😏 Men over 40 are usually the exact opposite. They don't shave any of their bodyhair and mostly wouldn't expect their girlfriends/wives either. Keeping your pubic hair for example is totally normal for men AND women born before the 80's. I personally dislike the social pressure to shave (almost) everywhere very much. And yeah, we still have some old-timey traditions for unmarried men who turn 30 and unmarried women who turn 25 ( 🙄 yeah, I know). But those are just an excuse for a fun party and drinking games in public 😄 And I realised only now that there are a lot of couples in my circle of friends who have been together for about 10 years before they got engaged or married. Those are all couples that got together in high school or their early twenties. They would usually wait until they are in their thirties before getting married. But when you are already a little older and know your place in life, you might tie the knot much sooner. Ooohh, and yeah, most German men won't approach you easily in a bar, let alone somewhere else. That can certainly be frustrating when you are open to flirting but too shy to make the first move yourself. If you do dare to initiate it's usually rewarded, though😉 There's also hardly any catcalling here, at least nothing like I experienced while travelling. That's the upside. Sorry for the long text. I'm extremely bored in this endless lockdown. Have a nice sunday!

Bin 30 und rasiere mir nicht die Achseln und auch nicht die Beine. Und die sind teilweise echt fies (weswegen ich aufgehört habe sie jeden Tag zu rasieren, was nötig gewesen wäre). Ich werde betrachtet, wie ein Alien. Mein Freund unterstützt das zum Glück und wehrt sich auch gegen Stereotype. Aber, als ich Mitte 20 war, waren die Blicke und Sprüche von allen Seiten echt schwer auszuhalten. Fast genauso frustrierend war, dass meine Elterngeneration meinen Struggle nicht nachvollziehen konnte. "Rasier dich doch einfach nicht." Ja, als wenn das so einfach wäre in meiner Generation, Mama.

I guess I am quite a bit beyond your typical age group, but I find your videos interesting because I am a German who has spent several years in various places in the US ( mainly Ohio and California). Therefore this idea of comparing everyday life in the two countries is well known to me. Most of what you say in this vid, I agree with. I always found it funny, how a lot of American guys are quite obsessed with girls’ body hair ( mainly legs, armpits and pubic hair), but never even consider shaving their own body hair. Still, your experience regarding hair on arms or hands is kind of unusual, I’d say. I can relate with the thing about being rude by being honest, but I really think that your interpretation regarding the subtleties of the English language is quite spot on. Many Germans speak some English, but maybe not as well as you might think based on first impressions. Paying for dates: I never let a girl pay when I asked her out for a date, but I guess I am kind of old school in that respect and probably was so even at a younger age. 😉

I agree. But I don't turn into a liar if you ask me. That doesn't help anyone if you keep quiet about things that are just shit. And if there is nothing positive to say, then so be it. And either the criticized person accepts it and knows how to appreciate my honesty or not and never has to have anything to do with me again. The same people can then also be sure that if there is something good to say, then I am just as honest. With me everyone knows where they are at any time when I am asked. Dem stimme ich zu. Aber ich werde deswegen nicht zum Lügner, wenn man mich fragt. Das hilft keinem weiter, wenn man Dinge verschweigt die einfach mal Scheiße sind. Und wenns nichts positives zu sagen gibt, dann ist das so. Und entweder nimmt die kritisierte Person es hin und weiß meine Ehrlichkeit zu schätzen oder eben nicht und muß nie wieder etwas mit mir zu tun haben. Die gleichen Leute können sich dann aber auch sicher sein, dass wenn es etwas Gutes zu sagen gibt, ich dann genauso ehrlich bin. Bei mir weiß jeder woran er ist zu jeder Zeit, wenn ich gefragt werde.

@@TomTomson81 I do agree with your mindset, but I also think that, if someone thinks this way, if you like to dish it, you also have to take what’s been served to you. And most people can’t. Actually, that Lila often says people get angry or leave angry comments is proof, that many can’t take what’s served, but only like to dish out.. Now, I don’t mean you with this comment, I’m only speaking in general. Also, what most people don’t get is, there’s honesty and then there’s inconsiderate rudeness. Just because you say every hurtful thing that could be technically true, that’s not being honest, honesty doesn’t exclude consideration. (Again, I don’t mean you personally) Lila is a good example of honesty, when she’s addressing differences in behavioral patterns or cultural differences, she is honest with what she’s saying and it’s obviously true, but she isn’t inconsiderate about how she’s saying all that.

Interesting hearing about current body hair trends in Germany. I was there several decades ago and women there did not shave. The teens our group was staying with criticized us for shaving - even giving us an article about how shaving is unhealthy. I was surprised what a big deal it was to them. Oh, I am American.

@@urlauburlaub2222 Hi 🙂 I want to add, that in East Germany (GDR/ DDR) before reunification the number of people shaving body hair was much smaller. The reasons are probably much less influence from abroad and the lower living standard, which is usually accomponied with a more conservative opinion. Actually for men at this time shaving was no consideration at all. So East Germany was perhaps two decades behind West Germany (FRG/ BRD) in this development.

Thank you Kasia. I hope you get to visit us in America. Welcome. We have love for Poland here. There are many Polish businesses and some Polish foods available in the stores. We are open minded here and multicultural. Identity isn't an issue when we are given the principles. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness not matter your beliefs or if your conservative or liberal or something else as long as this is respected you will be fine; That guy is incorrect. There are consquences for racism here. The cons or pro depending on who you ask is we don't force people to pay for health insurance or for colleges because we have massive influx of people who move here out of necessity. It wouldn't be fair to everyone. Education is truly a privilage here. Its expensive but I went to Brazil for my medical needs. It was very nice. I qualified for assistance through STEM program funding. There is assistance even for foreigners. The waitlist is 7 years for visas right now but priority cases can be made for sooner visas. Taxes are low here 22% if single, 11% if married this is common if your income is less then $100,000 a year or so; Depends in the state. Business thrives here but not all businesses are fair to their employees. Wages are very high. Even gas station workers get paid bonuses for being hired. Everywhere is hiring right now. Good luck to you if you try out the lifestyle one day. Its alot of work but you can get ahead quicker and retire quicker if you plan out your goals and stay diligent. I promise you that you can make friendship easily. Not many people get offended easily. I appreciate the love. I hope this information was helpful. Poland is truly a unique and beautiful place with delicious food. 💛🌟 Wishing you happiness.

@@urlauburlaub2222 "Without a clear identity leads to all the problems we see on the news". Really? My experience has shown me that extremely clear and narrow parameters can be dangerous in quite a few situations. Of course Germany comes to mind first, followed by the apartheid South Africans. America describes people as black or white, although I haven't met anyone who is actually black OR white. Many people claim to be conservative or democrats, instead of a bit of both. It is a reason to be free of a 2 party system. I don't know where you are from, and that doesn't matter. But my life has involved ongoing changes in a multicultural country. I have changed partners, jobs, cities, homes, and beliefs. I have followed different belief systems and different aspects of my genetic makeup and family traditions. I am not a Maori, but am strongly influenced by our treaty partners here in New Zealand. My children and grandchildren are all tangata whenua. My partners have been English, Maori and Pakeha, and more. They have had various occupations. We have moved from city life to a rural community. We have been South islanders and North islanders. We have been Aucklanders and then part of the Waikato. As the family scapegoat, the family I had for several decades I don't expect to ever see again. My five family members plus nieces, nephew, brothers in laws and sisters all vanished from my life within a few months. Many cousins and other relatives are more far off than ever. I have found new families, new sisters... I had to. If I moved to a different country, I would be staunch about my identity. I wouldn't want to lose it. But in time I would assimmilate, and hopefully it would be a country that accepts newcomers. I have Jewish ancestry hence my love of these extraordinary people. I have Scottish ancestry and many Scottish ancesters. I have a Polish first name and British surname. My partner is a bushman and we spend time in our native bush. But I'm also a city girl. Adjusting to change is important as well as keeping all the foundational core of ouf identity. That is my 2 cents worth today. Ata marie. Shalom. From New Zealand, with its melting pot of people. (There are no Maori here who don't have non-Maori genes. I was once very young and now I'm an elder. I am just saying that various things change. We once fought the Italians and Turks. Today we love them, just like our Maori). Once we could spend a two cent piece. Now we have none.

Cool. Good to hear some of this. I've seen some videos recently from Hamburg; like watching one of those car ride videos through town to keep getting familiar with the city. It looks like that cold freeze had melted and many people were out with one another, enjoying parks and so forth. It was great to see things somewhat returning to normal, and I don't think I really saw one person with a mask on after watching a long car ride and walk through the town on a weekend day. Many people walking, bikes, parks, football etc., which was nice, to me. I'm possibly even looking to start looking at the areas of Altona or Eimsbüttel for living, but have some other places in mind. I think it will be nice to meet some German women and see how they react.

Hello, greetings from Hamburg. I really like your channel so far, especially the "naturel" style. I first started with similar channels from the other side, so to say, like "German Girl in America", if you know the channel. Now i'm interested in channels with viewpoints from both sides of the pond. About this record: I think nowadays more important than the marriage question is the decision about having children. I've met a couple of (mostly female) colleagues who even left their partner because they wanted to start a family and the other half wasn't as intertested in that. 10 years is a bit long, i would ask those questions after 5-7 years at most (married my wife after 4 already, had a son after another 4). Americans are too polite to be honest, Germans are too honest to be polite. I really liked that. :) And yes, body hair seems to be very important to many people. I remember how it started around 20 years ago with more men reading "Men's health" and similar mags. I'm only surprised that it's supposedly different in the USA, the world center of cosmetic surgery and serials like Baywatch. Please continue your work. My favourite was your record about your experience with the health system in Germany. And by the way (hopefully not sounding too creepy): gorgeous eyes.

Hope you can freely say what you like and don't like irrespective of what whoever is gonna say, because most people will appreciate that & still love you and your content. This is your channel, it is your perspective (so nothing bad about it if it's not common) and if you make a blunder once in a while then so be it, we learn along the way, nobody is perfect & we are all learning & growing, & haters, well, are just gonna hate and put down instead of help (by providing constructive criticism) sending you love❤

About german honesty & directness. In Germany dishonesty for the sake of politness is percieved as impoliteness. When growing up in Germany I never heard the slogan "Say nothing if it is not nice." Instead I learned "Say critics in an honest, constructive and friendly way.". I like that way much more than saying nothing or saying lies because where is the chance for improvments and for trust when hearing fake answers? Example: "You're invited to my birthday party the next weekend. Will you come?" and your answer is "No": Non-german style: "Yes." (always, even if you can not come; in Germany that is percived as a lie and lies are impolite) Germany style: "I'm sorry, next weekend I'll have another plan and can not celebrate with you. But what about a meeting at the day after that to make a little post-celebration with just two of us?" Close to the slogan "Say nothing negative." are the german sayings "You do not need to say everything that is true, but what you say should be true." and "Talking is silver, silencing is gold." knowing that silver is worth less than gold and meant as: Unnecessary or inappropriate things are better left unsaid. But if you ask a German for an opinion no German will become a liar, instead he/she will speak the truth.

Hi, thank you to be honest, I don't need to be pampered and it's interesting to hear your point of view. You've been polite although you brought up some critical points about Germany. I've been in touch with some Americans last two years and I think we could learn frim each other, even it is "just" to be a bit more open minded. I think you make a good job - go ahead

About splitting the bill viewed by me german man: in my generation (1970) it was a good manner the man pays for both. In later generations (I think it started in the late 80s) women want to be seen as independent from the man and do not want to get the feeling of "owing something to the man" and insist on a splitted bill - not every woman, just be prepared.

i think there is a difference between honesty and rudeness sometimes. like its polite to tell someone (constructively!) if their work wasn't good enough because then they can improve and you're not bullshitting them and leaving them thinking it was great while everyone else thinks it was terrible. Its very rude however to point out something like body hair etc. i think when it comes to appearance the "if they can't fix it in 5 minutes or less, don't point it out" still very much applies. like its rude to point out a pimple because they can't fix it in 5 minutes and itll only embarrass them

8:01 YOU SHOULD CRITICISE GERMANY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! We germans and anyone else deserves to hear also the negative not just the positive. A lot of the time I think criticism might hurt at first but ultimately it makes you think. Thinking about the criticism you recived will in the end make up for all the hurt feelings because it allows you to either disagree and thus strengthen your opinion or it allows you to see that the criticism was justified. And if the latter happens I think you might change something and maybe - if possibel - improve something. This is why I like to hear criticism in your videos so criticise as much as you want. I know its easier said than done due to the back lash but at least you now know that you've got my support!

I'd rather go back in time when people called each other. It is SO rare to call someone on the phone that last week my cousin sent me a message asking "if she could call me", can you believe that? Here, if you call someone, it is more or less like "bothering" the other person.

I agree that Americans more sugar coat things but sometimes it is good because certain things nobody wants to hear especially from strangers . You are a beautiful and attractive girl and disregard any comments about your arm hair. Some people just like to project their own negativity and unhappiness on other people. Just stay positive and let those "well wishers" mind their own business or save their toxic comments for someone else.

Ich bin mit dem Spruch meiner Oma groß geworden, die immer zu mir gesagt hat: was du nicht willst, das man dir tut, das füg auch keinem anderen zu! Daran halte ich mich bis heute, ohne dabei zu heucheln. Man muss nicht jedem sagen, was man mag oder nicht, vor allem dann nicht, wenn es nicht relevant ist. Sowas nennt man gutes Benehmen. Allerdings sollte man davon nicht allzu viel im Internet erwarten.😉 In der Anonymität fühlen sich menschliche Abgründe ziemlich wohl.

That thing about swiping the place in front of the city hall (For men) or cleaning doorhandles (for women) when you turn 30 and aren't married is actually only a custom in northern Germany and mostly done in smaller towns or villages. As a northern german girl who moved to southern germany a few Year ago, I think that many of the points you're adressing (e.g. the honest vs politeness thing) are a lot more common in northern Germany and totally different in the south.

Hiii! Lived in the US (East coast and West coast) and forever in the UK. No idea who you met who‘s that obsessed about body hair 😂 Dating over all is totally different…yet it depends who you‘re hanging with. The dating all these people and hopping in the sack with your dates is an English speaking country thing. In most European countries you like someone, hang with them and are focusing on that person, rather than trying out who might feel right, righter, rightest and then have the talk. What I found is that Americans/Brits go "3rd date = sack". And that part seems very important. Ghosting is another of those things. The tradition your bf‘s parents talk about is a local one and not represented throughout Germany. There are quite a few religious people but Germans don‘t talk about it or don’t openly identify as such. Again, depends on the region. This avoids confrontation; just like barely any German will have a flag or bumper sticker of there political party anywhere (maybe the extreme right/left do🤓). And yes, women pay bills on dates or go "Dutch" as they (not all) don‘t want to feel like they owe anything. Dated guys in the US and usually some request came up later. Nevertheless, you have that everywhere. Enjoy HH but also visit the South - it‘s slightly different 😉

Btw. we do have unlimited SMS and phone call contracts for years now (even EU wide). We just prefer chatting apps above SMS for the additional functuality. The voice message thing is a late millenials thing in my experience. People at my age (arround 30) don't use these and rather call you.

"If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all!" - we have a saying for that, which comes from the movie "Bambi". There the little rabbit literally says "Wenn man nichts nettes zu sagen hat, soll man den Mund halten" which basically translates to the American saying. I think most German 90s kids and older generations will know that saying :) Also there's the saying "Was du nicht willst, dass man dir tu, dass tu auch keinem Anderen zu!" - "Don't do onto others as you' wouldn't like to be done to you". Also regarding the hair comments, maybe your boyfriends were just saying that as an observation rather than a judgement? As you mentioned you have blonde hair which is not easy to see, and when they got closer to you and had the time to look they just noticed and wanted to share "oh wow, I've never noticed that before"? Trying to make you change that in this way seems very untypically indirect for a German, most would probably just say "I like it better if you don't have hair there" lol. We can for sure be too honest to be polite sometimes, and even though we don't mean it in a bad way it often can come across like that or hurt someones feelings. I think Germans value truth and (direct or indirect) honesty a lot, whereas Americans try to make every interaction *feel* good in that moment, even if that means withholding some truths (a German may would like to know)

I agree with you about circumcision! I, too, hope that the United States will continue to follow the rest of the world's lead and stop strapping down healthy children and removing a sensitive, functional, and deeply private body part in the name of tradition. So unnecessary, and it takes away something that has value without giving the body's owner any say -- and there is no need to rush that decision, someone can make it at any age if they somehow think it would be worthwhile. But you can never undo the damage of cutting it off.

11:00 I think, that's just i difference in definition. For me it sounds like the dating before "The Talk" in germany is not called "dating". We say "hang out with friends" or "going to meet new people". Somtimes there will be a little more than that and if so "The Talk" is needet to clearify you are NOT exclusive. I think we germans point out to just stay friends or maybe friends plus and, i may be wrong, in the USA it's the other way round.

It's for everyone The last Thing, you're not bad at words,trust me. Okay. your Videos are simple and natural ,what many people like.

On marriage: Either a lot has changed, or your experience is very regional. Never heard of cleaning the courthouse. Most of my friends married once they were seriously thinking of kids or got one. If you don't have kids, many Germans just don't see the point in marriage. There is a rather big advantage in tax breaks. On the other hand, without marriage you know you're together because you really want to and not because it's to hard to split right now. I also don't see any patterns in the period people wait until marriage. To me this always seemed to be circumstantial. Those who want to get married because they believe in marriage and found their partner did it fast. I'm born 68, so things might really have changed a lot. I moved to north africa and live with my family there. That gave me kind of an outside perspective on German culture. There is much more continuity between generations in most countries I know - compared to Germany. I guess this is because the hippy movement in Germany tore a huge rift between generations. This was a very violent change in the social fabric. As a result the following generations seem to have adopted a very pragmatic approach to marriage, to the point of disillusionment maybe.

I was always taught that paying on the first date (esp when it’s a coffee “hangout” situation) was a sign of interest - it was typical in my hometown for the guys to pay but I often liked to be the one to pay to signal that I wanted it to be a romantic coffee and not just a hang out. Was planning to do that when I met my current (Austrian) BF for coffee for the first time. The barista swings by, asks “together or separate,” and before I can even insist on paying for both, my boyfriend asks to split the bill. I actually took that as a subtle signal that he wasn’t interested XD I was surprised when he started texting me again the next day... Also YES about the *talk*!! My BF didn’t realize it was a thing. And for Austrians, there is no difference between “zusammen sein“ and „in einer Beziehung sein“..had some confusing conversations with my boyfriend about that one 😂😂

If you are in a romantic relationship it is not dating any more. Then you are a couple. It is more committed without talking about it. In might be a misconseption of my self but for me US dating sounds like: I like your looks- lets date (multiple people at a time)- lets have sex- get to know eachother- maby we put a label on it If you stay just friends it is not a problem , because everyone is paying for them self, so there is no presure
