Now before the Europeans on this board get offended, I don’t mean that Europeans are unmanly or that somehow they lack testosterone. I’m simply pointing out the obviously greater importance to “manly” things and behavior in America, from clothes to cars. For example:

[ul]

[li]European men dress much more flamboyant and feminine. Something that would be considered stylish for a man to wear in Europe would often be considered “gay” in America. From capris for men to tighter shirts and pants and those girly Puma shoes, Europeans don’t look as manly as American in fashion. Americans prefer loose jeans and big shirts and big masculine looking shoes.[/li]

[li]Europeans drink wine and eat salads and healthy paninis in small portions. Americans drink beer and eat red meat and chilli in huge hearty and masculine portions.[/li]

[li]Europeans like soccer, which is considered a girls sport in America. Americans like masculine sports like football, baseball and basketball, which are not considered girls sport in Europe. Most soccer players would likely get beat up by the average NFL player in a fight, the average NFL player is 6’2 and 240lbs. The average soccer player is 5’10 and 170lbs.[/li]

[li]The prototypical European car is a small little cutesy car while a prototypical American car is a big masculine Ford F150.[/li]

[li]America respects the cowboys, the lone ranger, the rugged individualist who uses his guns to dominate the opposition and rule over his domain. Europe respects the socialite intellectual, who uses words and social connections to make his mark.[/li]

[li]American men love guns. Most European men don’t even know how to use guns.[/li]

…etc

[/ul]

Why did one place obtain such a more masculine culture?
