The main difference between Europe and USA

[Kooldino]

Nice!

Yeah, the average weight of a woman in Europe vs the US differs like 15-20lbs on average. Ouch.

Must have something to do with them not shaving their arm pits

During my stay in the US that was one untrue rumour everyone believed about europe.

The other one was that we dont take showers over here, or at least only once a week.

Pretty strange considering that I usually have to crouch to get my head under american shower heads, not to even mention the fact that a bathtub is no use when it only goes up to your ankles

I'm guessing you are tall?

Pit pubes are ok if the woman is correspondingly hot.. if not, ew!

And I know an older man (probably 70) from Scotland (he happens to be a doctor) who does not bathe daily, and it's noticible. He even joked about it to a woman on the phone when I was at his house doing some hookup work.

I'm guessing those stereotypes are just a bit outdated.

6 foot 1, which is not overly tall, in my opinion. at least not tall enough to justify the typical american motel shower head bumping onto my shoulder all the time. and you cant adjust height on them.

During a whole year in america, and two visits after that I have not found one shower that is nearly as comfortable as the average German shower.

Water pressure is much better here, as is temperature regulation. Also the water itself seems clearer and cleaner to me. plus you can adjust height of the shower head and take it off the wall in most cases.

Showers are one of the most important reasons why I wouldnt want to move to america

Yeah, I've heard that american fixtures are comparable to old east-german ones, look-and-feel-wise, is that true?

I got to admit that I never saw one of those, but it might be true.

You can see it in movies, the actors always have to lean on the wall with their arms and lower their heads to get some water into their hair. I think Leon and U-Turn are good examples.

I am 6 foot 3 and don't have an issue with shower heads being too low here in Canada

In my house, I have a bath tub and a seperate shower stall.

In lots of hotels and places like that the showers aren't that great. Most peoples' homes that I've seen have much better showers.

The shower heads in my house are about 6"*. Fit me fine. I think the newer houses have taller fittings.

*6'

Word of advice Topha, Motel 6 is not a great place to stay

Yes.. most houses have shower heads higher than 6 inches

We have a huge tub in my home... also, the shower is fairly high. The water pressure in my town is a little too much IMO. When you try to fill a glass with water from the tap, most of it ejects back out, and you get a second shower.

Hehehe I was stationed in Germany/Europe for 27 months and I found that the showers we had in Barracks SUCKED, no pressure what so ever and no hot water...you had to run them for 5 minutes before anything came out that was warm.

I was joking about the hairy pit thing...though it is alot more common in Europe then it is stateside. I would guess like 98% of the women in the states shave vs 80-85 in Europe from my experance.

Though the topless beach I went to a on lake one time was awfuly nice
