How do Italian women feel about Italian machismo?
Ok, so I've never really been to Italy so I don't really know what it's like, but I hear Italian men in general are very "macho"... Do Italian women in general like this attitude or do they also appreciate less "macho" men?
Huhson; I've never really been there either so I wouldn't know what they consider diversity there, but here on earth, sure, I know what diversity is... I did say "in general" but sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to do that... Actually, I noticed quite a few "kisses" from Italian ladies in another question and I do admit I was kinda fishing for some of those... Again, sorry... ;)
Thanks Italiana, now we're getting somewhere... :)
Uhm, but I'm not American... How do you feel about the Dutch stuff?
Lady Kimberly; Why do you think Italian men HAVE to be macho? Because it's expected of them?
Lady Kimberly; thanks for clarifying!
Bebe; Now you're making ME feel like a macho

I lived in Italy most of my life (now in Australia) and I've met more normal guys than macho guys.
I kind of agree with Lubov here. It depends what you think a macho man is. There is lots of diversity in Italy and people cannot be stereotyped. If I have to compare Italian men with Australian men than I have to say the Italian like to take care of their appearance more than the Australian, for sure and they pursue women in a different way, which I personally prefer.

People are generally the same the world over, you cannot say you do not like a certain countrys people, there are good and bad in all. They are a bit arrogant though having said that (from ones I have met on holiday) Although I dread to think what people think of the english after holidaying near them!

I'm Italian and i think that a man have to be a macho here in Italy.
for the girl that is living here: you are not Italian, so you can't understand this
because italian women like me want a strong man, not UN MOLLACCIONE
per lubov: si e tu non lo sei!
lubov: sfigata lo sei tu, io no di certo. comunque si da il caso che io abbia 25 anni e di esperienze con uomini italiani ne ho avute molte più di te! so che ti piacerebbe essere italiana, ma cara mia, solo i migliori possono permetterselo ed evidentemente tu non rientri in questo gruppo! e con questo ti saluto ignorantella!

hi, i'm italian ...and i don't really find that "every italian man is a macho"....that's such an urban legend...
of course we appreciate "less macho" men...you know, nowadays all the girls are in love with very "feminine" guys, like tanned, wearing make up or pink t shirts or with very elaborate haircuts, so very not machos....

it can be sexy for them to be macho... .but not to the extreme, like if we dont do what they want then they get abusive.....
and yes, we love the american stuff alot in italy :)
