9 REASONS FOREIGN MEN MAKE MARVELOUS BOYFRIENDS SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS Foreigners are my weakness. Maybe it’s the accent, maybe it’s their openness for adventure, hell maybe it’s their love making. Whatever the case, I’m know that foreign guys make amazing boyfriends, and I know from experience… I’ve travelled far and wide with nothing but a passport and a smile, and I’ve met countless future husbands. When I travel to Europe, I always ask myself what makes European men more appealing than many Americans. I’ve decided it all comes down to a few important qualities. 1. HE THRIVES IN COMMUNITY LIVING With friends from around the world, I know how much community means to many foreign men. A walk to the store isn’t just a walk to the store — it’s an ad venture, and everyone he meets along the way is a friend until proven otherwise. In addition to European men, community plays major part in Latin culture. It defines their value system. It’s an all for one, one for all mindset, which is carried on by everyone in the community. Because it’s is so important to them, communication is usually a strength for foreign guys. He voices his opinion because he aims to resolve it, rather than letting it settle because he enjoys watching you squirm (that’s so American). 2. FAMILY IS HIS IDENTITY Most foreigners are really enthusiastic; they have a different outlook on life. For most non-English speaking countries, family and friends make up the main part of their lives, not just socially, but in timately and emotionally. It’s the fabric of their cultural foundation. For the most part, the importance of family is how foreign men define themselves. Culturally, Americans define manhood through action and masculinity. But in countries like Italy, Brazil or some nations in Central America, what defines a man is how much others love them, not how much they accomplish. To a spoiled American like myself, this quality is sexy as hell. 3. LIFE WILL BE UNPREDICTABLE The fact that he is of a different culture will enrich your life in ways you can’t imagine, from the type of food he’ll cook to what he does in the bedroom (hey!).
