French disappointed in American lovers

PARIS, France (UP) – French women are alleged to be deeply disappointed in the technique of American lovers after having been led to expect great things from the Hollywood version of their charm.

The French weekly publication Samedi Soir, taking the task of speaking for its countrywomen, said French women have found the Yanks charmless lovers and far less well behaved than the films led them to expect.

The major fault with the Americans is that they become “unbearably drunk,” the magazine asserts. Also they talk too much, laugh too loud, are too devil-may-care and are unable to distinguish respectable women from those who are not.

Frenchmen believe the Americans exert a vulgar influence on the girls, teaching them to chew gum and talk through their noses.
