Am I happy to hear this? No. Does it change anything? No. In my experience, I’ve noted two kinds of Italian men -— the sweet, soft spoken kind, and the more outgoing kind who chase women. Of course, I’m sure there are more kinds; I base my impressions on my uncle, patients I have met, and the fathers of Italian friends.
My wife is from Cuba originally, and I’ve heard the horror stories about most of the males from her side of the family.
RE: the sweet, soft spoken kind, and the more outgoing kind who chase women.
Can’t we have an Italian who is BOTH sweet, soft spoken and at the same time a woman chaser? I don’t see how they conflict. In fact, women, might even be attracted to the sweet, soft spoken chaser.
