And so, I put together my observations, enlisting the help of an Italian girlfriend for some insider insight on what these men are really like. And they smell fantastic, like they all bathed in a tub of Acqua di Gio! Meaning that, from the time they are small children, everything is done by their mothers. Giuseppe could only speak English via Google Translator, yet this did not stop him from hanging out with us twice, taking us out for lunch, and driving us to the airport on our last day. (Since I wasn’t that heartbroken, I still occasionally send him my dental X-rays for second opinion.) 7. I recently witnessed one of my girlfriends get swept off her feet by an Italian guy, resulting in some very entertaining vacation adventures. Her Don Juan happened to be , something my friend found out via Facebook an hour after they had bid arrivederci.It’s difficult to picture who in God’s name has time for all that pampering and laundering and ironing, until you find out that… My own Italian experience involves a Roman dentist named Mario who lived with his parents until the age of 30, three years after they had purchased him his own apartment. Find me a French man who would do that, and I will find you a monkey that can play Tchaikovsky. She wasn’t even stalking him – he had volunteered his information to “keep in touch”.(Presumably to get rid of him.) At 34, he finally resides on his own, but still hadn’t gotten around to buying furniture, as he prefers to eat dinner at his mother’s. But, apparently, “if you get the right one, they’re the most incredible men in the world”.

While Italy is well-known for its food, art, and scenery, it’s not exactly a secret Italian men have a reputation for being some of the most romantic in the world.

Try to look at "Everybody Loves Raymond" and see the relationship between Ray and his mama and how it affects his wife Deb. In fact no one will change his mind, well except maybe his mama!

Some Italian men are so stubborn that they will not even budge on the meaning of a word if you show them the dictionary definition.

Anyway, although technically my legal residence is now in the Caribbean, I often visit my great family in Italy, where I own property, usually several times a year. Well, hopefully, he will ask you, and not the other way around.

I stay in one of these places depending on the time of year and where I am working. Last but not least, I don't have kids and I have never been married. Some people claim that America is full of Italian men, so it shouldn't be difficult to find one and get to know him.
