The stereotype definitely fits the "born and raised in a (sort of) Bourgeoisie", but regular women tend to try and look like them. So the full stereotype doesn't represent the majority of French women, but a lot of French women try to appear like a stereotype

As a French living elsewhere in Europe...I agree about nearly everything you said... but even in France, Parisians, have a reputation for being quite gruff on first meeting them. However, I do agree: there is more depth to European friendships. I think it might be because Americans are still quite close to their "settling" past. It was important to be friendly and helpful as the conditions required solidarity to help survival, but you could not afford to really give your heart away and have it broken as your new friends move on. Also, I think we might not put as much weight on because of the composition of our food. Compare: 100g of bread in France (or continental Europe generally. Sadly, the UK is more like the USA in this respect) will have fewer calories and contain less (or no) sugar and fat. A lot of us continentals put weight in the UK because, while we think we are eating the same as in France, Switzerland etc, we are in fact eating stuff which is pumped full of fat and sugar. Continentals also move a lot more on a day to day basis. We walk places etc. Sometimes, I have to stop friends giving me a ride because they do not envisage that I should walk a mile to get back home...Thank you for this...and I can't remember when I last or ever wore stilettos :)

I've never met a french woman having a child and not going back to work unless they were seniors. And I'm french. My mom always went to work after having a child (if she could have went to work while pregnant, she would have went ! She is a workaholic). And any women I know did so too. What's that idea? I've never heard of that. I literally thought only Japan had that stereotype.

I don't think that it's a social pressure for women in France to stay thin, I think it's more that the French haven't succumbed to the madness of not acknowledging obesity as a "natural" thing and they realise that it's a health hazard. Extreme political correctness hasn't infiltrated French society yet (thank God!) and so people aren't afraid to point out unhealthy eating habits for what they are.

@UnintentionallyFrenchified 3 жыл бұрын
I completely agree with you that the French don't entertain the idea that obesity could be classified as something to own in the way that we have a rhetoric in the US of accepting your body no matter what the size and shape. However, i disagree that there isn't social pressure to stay slim. It's a more big city thing than smaller towns, but the slim french woman is still really idealised as the "beautiful" body for me. The love of some booty and curves seems to be more a more American thing.
@ringwe
@ringwe 3 жыл бұрын
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I see your point, and for sure, living in a big city will make people more self conscious. But I do think that American culture has exaggerated in the last decade or so, and now blurs the limit between being having curves and being obese. For instance in Europe it's still unheard of for people to consider natural to move around in scooters because their weight limits their ability to move. But the impression I get is that in the US people would get offended if someone would mention that this is an unhealthy lifestyle. I may be wrong of course. I just think that people in Europe don't stay slim as much because they have to but rather because they believe it's healthier. At the end of the day though, what matters is that someone stays happy with his/her choice in the long run.

I was thinking more in the advice given by doctors, friends, family because they are concerned about the overweight person's well being in the long run. Or the general guidance that comes from school, media, etc. I'm sorry you had to feel bad because of idiots, the sad thing is the same people who bullied you wouldn't hesitate to bully someone else if they thought he/she is "ugly", "stupid","poor", you get the picture.

I’m inclined to agree. I am American, but I live in France. To me, it seems that it’s actually popular or favorable to be obese in the US. You have songs like “All About That Bass” that criticize so called “skinny bitches”, and you have a star like Lizzo whose whole brand is all about being obese and beautiful. I do agree that you can be obese and beautiful, but being obese in France isn’t something that’s glamorized.

They are also very nosey so they want to know your business .

You've gotta admit that EVERYBODY in France is nice and thin. I spent a week in Paris and Toulouse last year and don't recall seeing one overweight local, anywhere I went. And then it dawned on me, the reason there are so many chunky/chubby/bulky people in the US is that we grow up drinking sugary soft drinks with practically everything. On the other hand it's rare to even see sweet sodas being sold in France and nobody drinks them with meals or for refreshment.

As much as I would like to agree with you, I must break your illusions and tell you it is not true. I am French and I am overweight and I know a number of people that fit in the obese category. Of course, if you take into account that the Americans have one of the highest obesity rates in the world, surely the French seem thin. But that is simply not true and obesity has been a growing concern in France for a number of years. For the record, what struck me when I visited my sister when she lived in Chicago was that, by French standards, Americans were either really fat or really fit with next to no people in between.

The 12 months in the UK is what is called extended maternity leave and any employed woman can benefit from it. The main difference between the first 6 months and taking the 6 additional months is that you are not guaranteed to go back to the exact same job you were doing before. Your employer can assign you a different job as long as it is exactly within the same conditions and responsibilities as your previous role. Quite often women do go back to the same job they were doing before regardless. Parental leave is a completely different policy.

I concluded that in countries where the weather is warmer, people tend to socialize more because they go out more (in Spain you can go shopping the sunday, a lot of thing are open sunday where in France their are not). There's just another vibe. We I came back in France after being in Madrid for 6 years, the weather hit me hard on the face (cold weather is not for me) , I got a bit depressed by it (vive l'Alsace), but now I use vitamin D supplements so everything is good. And also I'm an introvert, making new friends wasn't easy. I have been in the same Spanish class with the same people for 5 years (depuis la 4ème) and I barely know them 😂😂.

As an American who has lived in France and traveled throughout Europe, I can tell you Americans are friendlier. But it’s a fake friendly. Really, we just smile and say hello to strangers a lot and act like everyone is our friend even if we’ve just met. Whereas Europeans I’ve found are more likely to be what many Americans would say are “cold”. Seeing as I have bad social anxiety though, I prefer French societal norms with strangers than American!

So to you, being French means being under the government of France. Nope. Being a citizen of France does not make you truly French. My ancestors left France for the New World five hundred years ago (1612). I am French in ancestry and physically while being American of nationality. You could live in a stable, but that wouldn't make you a horse.

opinion for a french man about this : 1 for socialize in french, you need to be active, invite people to can meet their again... and speak french !!! 3 What? You have elephants in the street too!! okay, america is the worst for that... but we always follow amercian for all, so we have in here. After, look the video of michael moore about french school cantine to understand where it come from 4 my wife was laugh a lot whan see this ! She consider in compare of her country french people are so sportive, especially for walking 5 False, but in a group of friends including man and woman, they can enjoy to joke about this, like "yeah, this woman is in love to you, she is to shy for tell it, but..." it is just fro fun, but it can happen as if both are engaged with another pair 7 OMG !! Hey guys, for losse their fat, french people consider walking for a quarter is better than take public transportation, and as if in metro have to walk!!! Stiletto is just for seduction mood, not for daily life!!!

Congratulations on becoming officially French! I hope you didn't have to renown your US citizenship. One thing I noticed in your video is Christmas stockings, they are so cute! Red for Robin, white for Kate and a mix of the two for Eleonore! Love, love, love! I also was kind of disappointed to hear that French women do go to the gym to exercise. I've watched a bunch of videos about French people before, and was glad that they don't make exercise their priority in life, they just walk a lot everywhere and hence stay fit. I'm not fond of the pastel colors in wardrobe, but I understand why women do it, easier to match with the rest of the clothes. Being friends with ex girlfriends would bother me too, and endless debates would be a nightmare. I hear you :-)

going to the gym is not a big thing in france, a minority of people go there, the majority of people rather walk or run in park or forest. But not the majority of people work out or do exercices.

I have to say I disagree, french women I know are slim wothout caring about what they eat or exercising, the food in France is less fat overall and our way of life is more active, we exercise less but walk and cycle more in our every day life !

Je suis totalement d'accord. Pas de talons hauts (stilettos). Trop casse-gueule. Par contre, beaucoup de petites chaussures cuir talon large et 2/3 cm de haut. Et quant à la reprise rapide du travail pour les françaises après une maternité... déjà en 1962 😲ma mère travaillait et à repris le travail 8 mois après. Ma soeur, mes cousines, les femmes de mes frères et cousin n'ont pas attendu pour retourner au travail. Leur motivation était économique, bien sur, mais sociale aussi. Le schéma de la "femme à la maison" n'est plus d'actualité pour la grande majorité des françaises depuis longtemps. Ouf ! Ceci est dû particulièrement aux professionels de la petite enfance, crèches et nourisses qui garantissent la sécurité des enfants. Les parents sont très confiants dans ces institutions. I totally agree. No high heels (stilettos). Too badass. On the other hand, many small leather shoes, wide heels and 2/3 cm high. And as for the rapid resumption of work for the French after maternity ... already in 1962, my mother was working and returned to work 8 months later. My sister, my cousins, my brothers' and cousin's wives did not wait to return to work. Their motivation was economic, of course, but also social. The scheme of the 'woman at home' is no longer relevant for the vast majority of French women for a long time. Phew! This is particularly due to early childhood professionals, nurseries and nurses who guarantee the safety of children. Parents are very confident in these institutions.
