Like MsOlga, I can't really answer your question because I'm single. That said, I have observed that when I visit Germany, German women tend to come across to me as assertive, confrontational, and women's-lib-ish. Conversely, when I return to America after staying in Germany, American women tend to come across to me as girly and submissive. I also notice that news anchors on American cable TV habitually display an attitude of casual misogyny that would be totally unacceptable in Germany. Barely a day goes by without them complimenting female reporters on their looks, calling them "sweety", and making similar unprofessional remarks they would never make to a male reporter. I think, but admittedly don't know, that such behavior would be just as unacceptable in the rest of continental Europe.
Based on these observations, my
guess is that your life
might indeed be easier if Merry Andrew was European.
