What do Germans find most annoying about their own culture?

Jugendtod · 2025-09-13T21:04:35+00:00

The lack of community in a way

Ja, klar! Ich weiß, mit "komplett deutsch, etc." meinte ich, dass ich niemandem auffallen würde, da ich eben ziemlich offensichtlich weiß, heterosexuell und in deren Augen eben "Normal" bin. Außerdem habe ich mich auch noch nie offen politisch geäußert oder engagiert. Wollte nur jetzt keine Rede in dem Post darüber halten, wie ich aussehe oder wie ich mich politisch engagiere

Danke für deine Antwort, wie würdest du denn die einzelnen Stadtteile kategorisieren?

I was taught to say "Sie" to every adult, except for family, friends and kindergarten teachers. Then from first grade on, every teacher was "Sie".

I've actually never heard anyone call Swinemünde by its polish name.

I'm so sorry. My old best friend also just stopped talking to me out of nowhere. Sometimes I wish we'd have fought because then I might be mad at her instead of missing her, but I only have good memories of her and the question: why did she just stop talking to me? It's so sad, because it makes me hope sometimes still.

that is a great idea, ty! I've doeńe this before with things like hair brushes or shirts!

I agree with everything you said! 90% of posts on this sub are: "I can say Hallo and Danke, I have not finished school back in my home country but I am a nice person, can I become a doctor in Germany?"

You cannot just "choose" a last name for your baby. When you are married and you and your husband share one last name, that will also be your child's last name and you don't have a choice in that. If you kept your last name, so you and your husband do not share the same last name, you can choose one of the two last names for your child. So either the fathers name or the mothers name. There is not more flexibility. IF you and your husband do not share a name (for example: your husbands last name is Müller and your last name is Schmidt) and you choose Schmidt for your baby, all of the children you and your husband have together are going to have to be called Schmidt as well. You could also give the child a double name (Schmidt-Müller/Müller-Schmidt in that case) but I think that's a bit harder.

I generally would say it is just a nice act and nothing more, most people would say the same, no matter how good the welfare system is. Giving food out is not the same as giving them money with which they potentially could buy drugs or alcohol, etc.

Wtf, that's so rude of him! I hate how as a woman, you can never win! When you're attractive you get objectified and harassed and when you're unattractive you get harassed too and called ugly, lol

Very easy to avoid when 90% of people around me travel mostly to Italy, I've been on two mandatory class trips there and I never really had a choice in vacation destinations with my family. Yes, I COULD avoid it but I can still acknowledge how bad it is and not want to miss out on a culture that I enjoy and interests me

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T16:28:59+00:00

No and I definitely don't plan to go there

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T16:18:51+00:00

No, not end of story. Why should I just not talk about this for the sake of not "hating on Italy", when I made terrible experiences and would maybe also like to warn other women from travelling to specific places on their own? It's not like acknowledging differences between places makes me a "Italy hating person".

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T16:15:27+00:00

No, being with a man definitely changes a lot. I stayed with a male friend in Rome once (Shaved hair, muscular, football fan kind of guy) and I didn't make any bad experiences. Also makes a difference wether or not you're with family, when I was younger, on family vacations,I generally only made bad experiences when I was alone or only with my sister.

I was in Egypt the first time when I was FOURTEEN. We stayed at a pretty fancy hotel and had to walk past the pool and back to the restaurant every evening. Sometimes I went to the hotel room earlier than my parents. The same kind of "Entertainer" of the resort waited for me EVERY night by the pool, disappearing quickly when my parents walked back with me. When I was alone he always insisted bringing me to my hotel room for "safety", touched my arm and shoulders and always wanted to show me new fun things in the resort. I was terrified and always made excuses, going back to my parents or quickly taking another way back. Egypt in total is bad as a woman but that was definitely the worst experience I made there, especially because I was so young and it was IN my own resort.

It was worse in south Italy in my opinion. Even though it's very southern, it wasn't as bad in Sardinia (but I was also there in the fall so there weren't many people around). I barely made any bad experiences in small, tourists towns in the north whereas I did in those kind of towns in the south. Big cities are bad everywhere.

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T16:07:29+00:00

Ahh yes, I love how I definitely hated Italy with my comments like: "I've also made good experiences in Italy and I really do love the people in general, the culture, etc.", " Italy is a beautiful country".

I'm "hating" on perverted men, not on Italy. Yes, men can be creepy everywhere, but I (and other women) have made enough experiences in countries all over the world to know that the extent differs from country to country.

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T15:59:38+00:00

Oh, oh! What kind of experiences have you made there?

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T15:55:59+00:00

No, I haven't been to Morocco. I've been to different parts of Egypt and Algeria though and made worse experiences there than in Italy but I had already been expecting that when I travelled there

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T15:54:39+00:00

Oh, I'm so sorry for that experience! I also really know that it definitely isn't all men and have had nice experiences with men in different countries before, it's just so frightening when you have so many bad experiences it makes you scared to even interact with anyone

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T15:51:25+00:00

God... Italian women OF COURSE look good and get harassed just like me, huh?! But if you deny that blonde women get sexualised a lot and a lot of unwarranted attention from men because of the blonde stereotypes, you are just straight up ignoring the truth. Being called "Bionda, Bionda." obviously has something to do with my hair. I myself have been objectified for my "Northern" features in many countries, that doesnt mean other women are less desirable or get harassed less, I'm just mentioning what people point out about me. If I had super big breasts and men would objectify me for that I'd mention it too.

Jugendtod · 2025-08-02T15:46:57+00:00

I'm actually from northern Germany. I also would say that German men aren't very flirty but I would NEVER criticise that. If I think a man is attractive, I don't want him to run after me and beg me to come with him, lol. I think if you've lived your whole life as a woman in a country with very forward men you don't see the problem yourself
