Less Dago Incels
This little clip from the film about Nikki Lauda is maybe the best representation I ever saw of something that has always been true about Italians in general, and despite the unrelenting assault by Hollywood “values” over the last more than 50 years I have been alive, remains true even today to an extent I am still genuinely surprised by. Let’s see if you can understand why comparatively speaking, even the most nerdy dago is usually better with women than the average Anglo.
It reminds me of a story, when one incredibly polite Englishman went to Italy for a holiday. He went to one of the big cities. Big enough for traffic with cars everywhere. But since the Italians hadn't installed red lights, zebra patterns for where pedestrians go from one side to the other, and there wasn't any ticking noise assisting the blind, the holiday became a week of hell.
He couldn't even cross the streets. Italian drivers never stopped, because he waited and waited and waited for a driver to take pity on him. He was too polite to look a driver in the eye, stare at a driver to stop, and imply that he's walking now. And if the driver doesn't stop, the driver is hitting a tourist.
Which is completely different from how Scandinavian women can behave in Italy. When Scandinavian women have been visiting Italy, and they weren't looking for romance from a playful Italian man, they pissed them off instead. Scandinavian women have been known to deliberately wear ugly clothes and hats, with the intent of ruining the Italian man's play. It's everything but romantic and fun for him when she is so dressed so butch and behaves so icily.
Epic clip.
