Why are American girls so rude?
I find Americans to be rude but American girls age 12 - 30 particularly bad. Is it the cultural norm in America for women to be loud, obnoxious, and manhating feminists?
WAIT UP.
All of you answerers who think it's just because I've met one or two American girls, you're totally wrong. I have been in America since I was a boy. Progressively over more than 15 years I've seen American girls and women become less like women and more rude and selfish than a two year old. So it's not just a bad experience as some have inferred. Most experiences with them is bad now LOL. And it will get worse, mark my words.
To answerer "d4" below:
You are a fool. A lot of guys feel like I do. They simply aren't saying anything because American women can say anything back to a man without punishment but the reverse doesn't hold true. Lot of males, American and non-American think that American girls are rude and stuff.

Yes, I see this too. It is rapidly becoming the US cultural norm because they are taught from an early age to be "feisty" (i.e. rude, arrogant, petulant, and aggressive) above all else. This is the anything-goes spirit of the times and feminist teachings and Hollywood movies actively encourage it all.
And, as these "rude ones" would shamelessly say, they are the way they are because they can be.
This is not to say that there are not plenty of lovely normal, even-handed girls out there, anything but.
We in Brit have a habit of slavishly following in the footsteps of American 'trends', God help us.

This is a generalization. People are people - some are polite and some are not. It sounds to me like you've had some really bad experiences.
I think that if you look at it culturally, American society generally rewards more aggressive behavior. Because we are capitalists and the way to succeed in a capitalist society is to compete - we are shaped to be aggressive. We compete in our educational system, we emphasize sports, prizes, and winning. Culturally, we also tend to be forthright ("get to the point") and value efficiency. Plus culturally, Americans value freedom of speech. So people feel that they have a right to have and express their opinions. This might be what you experience this as rude. But it isn't really.
There are other people/cultures that have these characteristics, and of course - not everyone is the same - so you'll find many people who are American who aren't this way.

no, it is the whole usa. it somewhat is only our custom. we are "fiesty" this is the well mannered way of asserting impolite. Our women somewhat. we are a spoiled indignant lot. heavily. Asking American women to not be impolite is like asking French women to not have a lovable accessory. it is impossible. superb element to do is once you're interior the U.S. heavily isn't date. Porn is criminal right here for a reason.

I think what you are reacting to is the 'American way', rather than a female trait. It is reinforced in television programming and encouraged by 'The Greatest Nation in the World' mentality that is a predominant message in all areas of American media.

The only way you could make that statement is if you met every American girl aged 12-30. I bet you just met one girl, she done something to you, and now you think they're all like that. Listen everyone is different, just because on American girl is rude doesn't mean the next one will be, so stop generalising

its because society has made it acceptable for women to have great wealth while being a complete disgusting pig of a whore.
women used to have dignity.

With all your "ENCOUNTERS" with these American Girls... Do you realise that the ONLY COMMON FACTOR between all of tthese encounters is YOU!
Maybe youre not doing anything as a man to these women to make them like men.
EDIT: Well I havnt experienced any of the rudeness from American girls or from any girl of any nationality for that matter. So what are you trying to say? That im a freak of nature and is really really really good looking?

If you live where the women are demure and silent, then the independence of American women will surprise you. It is a shock to find there are places where being male doesn't automatically inspire grovelling respect. What did you do to them to get this treatment?

Not all of them. I have some good friends and they are quite friendly. It depends on where you make friends and how much they like you to be a friend.

Because they're not raised to be ladies anymore...they're raised to "take no crap" from anyone, especially guys.
I have a 15-year-old niece that's starting to get an attitude...and a lot of it is due to her mother's influence.
