Yep, we're Americans and we are STUPID. All over Europe it is common to speak several languages, with English near the top of the alternate list. Here, we barely speak the King's English. Don't learn penmanship anymore. And we cast a dim view on anything intellectually challenging.
Rather than asking "English only", how about asking people to provide a translation along with their native tongue. That way, we get to learn a few phrases in Italian. Just in case we end up over seas, we can then turn to a local and say, "I'd love to fuck you." which I sure sounds so much more romantic in Italian.
Getting back to Italian men, I think there's something culturally bound in Italian men that bonds with my personality or something. I was tight as tight with my 2 Italian roommates in College. They both made me cry. Loved 'em to the death. My best good friend is an Italian guy living in Toronto. And I have a new Italian buddy Nick who comes to me for art instruction. Mike, Robert, Nick, Raffaele, Mateo, love you all!
Next spring I plan to travel to Italy for the first time. So with luck, by then I can come here and read Italian comments and understand them!
Never made out with an Italian guy... but I came SO CLOSE. Ate his
though... after he jacked off. Best. Cum. Ever.
