A question about italy and italian guys

Question

Hey i'm learning italian and i really want to go to italy. Ive fallen in love with the culture and everything about it is amazing, except for the mafia and some gypsies..But anyways i was thinking about going to italy and possibly moving there. Would dating be a hard thing for me? I'm like beyonces skin color maybe a little lighter, i have hazel eyes, and golden brown hair. Theres a rummor going around that some italian guys have intrest in girls of color is this true? Theres also a rummor that italian guys like to stay with in there own race. Italian guys are the best and the cutest : ) so i was wondering what my chances are of getting an italian boyfriend over in italy. Oh and what are the guys like over there?

Answer 1

I'm Italian and i live in Italy.

Personally i don't care about "race", if you are a beautiful girl and i like you and you like me... What's the problem?!?!  

I guess is the same for other italian guys. So i don't think it will be so hard for you to find a boyfriend in italy....

Ciao....

Answer 2

Stereotypes are just that: stereotypes; and they came from people who never actually been in Italy (or wherever apply for each stereotype); furthermore, American people (for instance) thinks Italian Americans and Italians in Italy are close if not just the same, but actually Italian Americans are Americans, they grow up in an American society that is completely different from today Italian society.

Basically, Italian Americans tend to be more conservative than Italians (not surprising, being the US more usually conservative that any European country).

So, about "Italians like to stay with in there own race" there is a saying, in Italy, "mogli e buoi dei paesi tuoi" that means just that (actually it's even more "restricting" :-); well, I think that''s considered the most outdated saying in Italy, and nobody believe in it anymore.

Don't also care about "Italians being racist"; if there is any problem, that's because some people fall into a life of crime after immigrating to Italy, causing raising of tension between the population, but that's has nothing (and I'll say 100 times: *nothing*) to do with the colour of the skin of the individual.    

Another stereotypes wants Italian have dark hair and eys, olive or darker complexion; although the majority of people (both men and women) do have black or brown hairs and eyes, blond hairs and blue eyes are very common.

"Italian guys have intrest in girls of color is this true?"

Italian guys like women. Period.

"I was wondering what my chances are of getting an italian boyfriend over in italy"

Well, I think your main concern would more likeable be keeping them away :)

Anyway don't care to much, if you ever come to Italy, if you feel people are staring at you (nobody is staring at you in particular, staring is just normal, here) or if you meet a lot of young guys whistling at you and such (they bark, but they don't bite)
