4-Americans feel privileged to be invited to embassies receptions. What foreigners dislike most is to be around politicians with big mouth, media people known for their sarcasm and biased reporting and to eat and dine in the company of politicians and foreign diplomats.  

5-Americans consumers who prefer Japanese cars over American cars. A famous European saying goes like this: “The happiest man on earth is this man who has an American car and a Japanese wife, because none of them would quit on him”. Foreigners still believe that American cars are the best in the world. The fact that Americans rush to buy Japanese cars indicate to foreigners that Yankees do not make sense.

6-The outfit of the American professional woman, more particularly the executive one. You know, the one with a coat/jacket, man’s couture cut and the boring standardized fluffy tie. They hate it! They consider it  a product without originality and character.

7-Popularity of wearing pantyhose without underwear. Yet, boy-a-boy, Arab men love it, as long as, it is not their wives who are wearing it.

8-American men’s obsession with women’s big breast. African, Asian and Arab men love to look at an American woman’s prosperous breast. But, the cultured European men and more particularly the French men consider the big breast of a woman as a sign of vulgarity. To them, women with big breast are vulgar. This idea came to life at the dawn of the Parisian haute couture and the beginning of the Parisian fashion runway. The whole story began with Christian Dior and his “scrambled egg breast” mannequins in Paris at the turn of the century.
