    When we say Americans are loud it generally means your voice, when majority of Americans speak they are speaking louder than most, really projecting their voices. Which when in public makes Americans really stand out. Say if you're in a Pub and there's Americans in there, you'll hear them speaking over everyone else.

      I saw an American couple reacting to a video like this. Where people’s opinions of Americans were that they were loud, and will just butt into people’s conversations.
      Basically the American guy tried to justify it as just being friendly. He said if he went into a pub in the UK. He would want to announce his arrival. Saying he would walk in and say “HELLO, HOWS EVERYONE DOING. THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PLACE”.
      To me that would come off as obnoxious. Like they think they’re special and everyone should pay attention to them.

    LOUD. Let me explain i was in Maastricht, sat in a restaurant and an American man was red faced and screeming he'd been sat for 10 minutes and he hadn't received a menu. Their drinks arrived @ 11 mins. We have a totally different tradition for eating here, we take our time. The american family still weren't happy and demanded to see the manager " I am an American". The waiter said i am the owner and asked them to leave. They knocked their drinks to the ground and walked off. Because we were sat in a square where all the restaurants had pavemant tables the other establishments saw what had happened and none would let them sit.

    I think the fact that Americans are rather loud in restaurants so that everyone can hear them has encouraged the loud American image. Raising your voice in a restaurant in the UK is considered rather rude as it cuts across the conversations of other diners. We speak in voices designed only to be heard at our own table.

    Having worked in London for many years I've come across thousands of tourists including Americans. I found with Americans that they're either really really nice or absolutely awful. You mentioned that they can be opinionated - I remember the time an elderly American couple were looking for a particular shop in the Haymarket they remembered from years before. They stopped me and asked if I knew the shop; I told them I knew the Haymarket very well but knew the shop they were looking for was not in that road. The old man was insistent and very rude and had the cheek to tell me I did not know my own city. So I pointed them in the direction of the Haymarket and told him "Good luck with that!" and walked off. However, don't fret about it too much. The French are far ruder.

    I think the American dream is based on the American misconception that only America has freedoms.
    Even Tyler’s opinion that America is better for a starting business.
    I’m in the UK and self employed with my own business. I quit my 9-5 job, and registered myself as self employed and the name of my business.
    I had absolutely no concerns about losing my health insurance from quitting my job. No worries about how I was going to pay for my families healthcare when I was starting up.
    On top of that I received state assistance when I was not making much profit, as I was spending my personal savings to fund the business. That was 10 years ago.
    Overall starting a business in the UK was very easy. Although it’s not easy to make a successful business.

      @@Thurgosh_OG Healthcare costs a major factor why many small family businesses fail in the US.
      The average cost of health insurance in the US is $560 a month. That’s an awful lot of money to have to cover when starting up a small business. And it’s a cost I just didn’t have.
      It’s $140 a week extra profit just to cover healthcare. On average start up businesses don’t make much profit in the first 4 years, because most of the money is reinvested.
      Many Americans go without insurance to focus the money on reinvesting into their business. But it’s a big gamble as any illness or accident in the family, and you could go bankrupt.
      It’s just not a great way to start a business. I guess big businesses do better in the US. With American CEO’s making 300 times more money than their average employee. While in the UK CEO’s make around 30 times more.

Talk about meant to be! Found an old diner and they were lovely and welcoming in there and also in the smaller shops. Great memory!

    When you said “openness”, I nearly choked on my food. I observed a huge part of Americans (not everyone) is rather conservative as well as limited and stuck in their views and “ways”.
    Other stereotypes I know of are: lack of self-reflection in their mindset and views, but also in their behaviour which often goes hand in hand with some amount of ignorance towards others (which is also A reason for being so loud); being superficial especially in the social setting; OVERLY patriotic tending towards glorifying & ignorance; overly focused on guns; to place way too much importance on their social status (especially regarding wearing/ owning designer or brand items); being selfish and often showing no consideration / having no regards for others; easy to build [not deep] friendships; being way more flexible regarding their time and planning , being optimistic and in a good mood; enthusiasm; action-oriented, being easy-going, …

    I've only ever dealt with Americans as tourists, and they are louder than most other nationalities. They are also a little more 'entitled' and seem to think their dollar should buy awe and respect. Most are great until they don't get what they want IMMEDIATELY. That's when they can get even louder and become somewhat obnoxious. Not all of them are like this, but unfortunately enough to create a stereotype.

    I think culturally everyone is subconsiously taught how to use your voice in company. I think in the UK and evidently other european cultures there is more expectation that you reserve your full volume for hanging out with your mates, and everywhere else is about 25% on the way to being a library, like in a restaurant. You keep it down, keep it personal, and dont broadcast your shit to the next table, because everyone is there doing their own thing, and its not about you.

    I spent years working with tourists in Scotland, and I would say that the majority were American and Japanese, although we also got travellers from throughout Europe and Australia and New Zealand as well. Like all of the other nationalities, they were a real mixture of personalities. I do get the 'loudness' thing though - it wasn't so much that they spoke loudly, they just seemed to be bigger (ie built on a bigger scale, not necessarily fat) and more noticeable. The sites I worked at in the city of Stirling attracted an huge number of visitors who had watched Braveheart and they DID put a lot of faith in it (although so did many Scots) plus there were always Americans who had the surname Bruce or Wallace and genuinely believed that they were descended from one of them - no evidence, it was just a family tale, based on the name. I found many Americans to be polite, genuinely interested in our history and appreciative of Scotland's natural beauty, though. I do remember some rude tourists, but they were not all American!/🤣. To be honest, I think there's a degree to which all of our brains stop working fully when we go to a strange place and we all do and say idiotic things, but for some reason, the lady I always remember complained to me angrily because 'the rain spoiled her visit.' I'm not sure what any of us were supposed to do about that, but rest assured she was not American...😆. The one thing that only Americans seemed to struggle with was the fact that it takes a few days to travel around Scotland, you are not going to see everything in an afternoon, you need to spend a bit of time here and when you do visit a place, there may. be a lot to see and that takes time. Some Americans just seemed to want to tick places of a list rather than actually stop and enjoy them, they were in a hurry to get to the next 'must see' destination, and they had no idea that it was 150 miles away and they couldn't go there and be back at their hotel in time for the evening meal! They just assumed the country was a lot smaller than it is and everywhere was within an hour's drive.

    I remember returning to my Isle of Wight back in the 1980's (I think it was) on a car ferry from Portsmouth to Cowes after a day of driving around the S. Coast of England making deliveries, where up on deck I met aa party of men and women (wives?) American, or, Canadian (as to me they have just about the same accent), and just had to ask hopefully politely asked which country are you from, America or Canada?
    Once of the chaps replied 'Canada' and smiled at the confusion of accents, and didn't get a punch in the face, as I thought they might get a bit salty for getting the country accent wrong.
    Anyway, we had a bit of a laugh and had had a nice conversation and were happy that I was a local and lived, so asked about places they were intending to visit for a week and left the ferry as 'friends' but never met them again, which is a shame as they were very nice people...
    However back in the early 1970;s I was stationed (RAF) in Bahrein at a place called Muharraq, and because of our job we lived in a two story block so we didn't have to worry about talking about work, and had a Bar where we took turns of running it, i.e. buying the booze, and making sure the large fridge was filled, for selling the beers and other booze. One night about 8-9 American sailors from a ship parked up in the port over at Muharraq docks, arrived after finding out we had a bar, so didn't need to go into the nearest town. They were friendly, but a bit loud, and as the night wore on they started to get even more shouty after some beers and booze, but, still in good humour and didn't start any fights. The next day we were invited to visit their shop at the docks, so about 4-5 of us went down there, and had a tour around the inside of the ship, which was quite fun.....😄
    So over all, it was quite nice meeting them......But, why are Americans can't just Americans, and not African/Chinese/Japanese/French/ German/Dutch/British/etc. Americans?
    Just curious.....

    The interesting thing I always feel, is the rest of the world do pay attention to everyone else’s politics and culture, whereas the stereotype of America is it’s very closed shop. They don’t look into much outside their own borders, many don’t own a passport because they don’t see the need to go elsewhere, and they’re far too focussed on what’s going on in America that they don’t have time to look elsewhere.
    Here in the UK, we cover American elections on news channels with just as much airtime as a British election, for example. But I bet American broadcasters don’t provide hour by hour vote counting of a British election.
    As for the right to bare arms, is there an argument that as an American you are desensitised by guns presence? Also, random shootings probably aren’t covered on news cause of how common they are. Here in the UK, someone gets stabbed in a village and it makes national news coverage on the BBC because it’s so shocking.

    Americans tend to be loud, at least the ones I've met. It's literally the volume of their voices. They're not unique in this, it's partly down the cultural stereotype of the 'reserved British'. Compared to that, Americans are loud and Americans tend not to want to blend perhaps partly due to American exceptualism, the idea that America is the default cultural norm and others should adapt to fit, not the other way around. Also disagree about the point that was made about heritage and where someone is born: there's NOWHERE on earth that has the culture of 'Irish-American, Italian-American, Afro-American, or I'm a 32th Cherokee, 8th Swedish, 24th German' etc

      So about 10% of US gun crime. And the US will have knife statistics of their own.
      It's much harder to kill or even injure someone with a knife which is why they invented guns. You have to get up close and personal.
      Also the UK has laws limiting the size of the knife blade that you can carry on your person to 2.7 inches WITHOUT GOOD REASON. So any person found carrying a knife larger than that by the police needs to be able to justify it (carrying home after purchase, using it as a tradesman etc.)

    Firstly I want to say I love America. I've been many times and will continue to go. ( UK here). However there are many things that most, not all im sure, Brits can't get their head around, and that is guns. ANY OTHER country with the amount of mass shootings, all those children killed would have done something. We had a bit of a knife problem in this country, so we made it illegal to sell knives - this includes cutlery knives - to under 18s. To me, because of your constitution, it feels like people are so wrapped up in what their indervidual right is, they don't think what's best for the country as a whole. I know the constitution is different from the law of the land, but again in most, I will say European countries, if a law needs to change to move along with the times then most of the time It will be changed. I also feel religion playes far to big a part in choices made for the country. Religion is and should be a personal thing and should not interfere with State. But all that being said, when I'm there the people are helpful, friendly. Everything is bigger. Money is thrown at things to make things the best it can be. This attitude you guys have of "America . The greatest country in the world" may statistically be far from the truth as it would be for the UK, but that attitude I think drives the country to always strive to be better and do better, which I think deserves admiration. Love your videos. Although I often find myself shouting at the TV screen to give you the answer to things lol.

      Kitchen knives, screwdrivers, box cutters and other tools are so easy to access that if a criminal really wanted to use one to hurt or kill someone, they would have absolutely no problem. And how often are murderers under 18 anyway? As for America's gun violence problem, it isn't caused by the guns, is it? It's caused by people. Either gangs or mentally unstable individuals. The root of the problems should be tackled before restricting the rights of individuals. I do think that a license would be a good idea, especially for the more potentially deadly weapons, but not restricting them altogether. We know that our rulers are usually not working in our best interests and have historically oppressed the people on many occasions. The police also cannot usually be relied on to arrive in time to save someone's life if they are in danger.

  • @KidarWolf
    @KidarWolf 10 місяців тому +1

    Okay Tyler, I'll bite, as a Brit who lived in America for nearly 12 years. Y'all are loud. I think a lot of you are typically in very loud environments, at least in cities, where you have a lot of sound competing for your attention, so you have to speak up to be heard over the din. I genuinely found the average American city to be a much louder environment than the average British city. As a megacity, London is loud, yes, but at the same time, there are a lot of wide open spaces and parks with trees that help break up that sound, where I found that in comparison, Pittsburgh, for example, has canyons of sound between buildings, which can result in noise feeling amplified.
    At the same time, you actually, generally, stand further apart when talking, than most cultures, so you're accustomed to speaking at a volume that allows for that. When you're speaking with someone who is used to standing closer for conversation, or from a quieter environment, or both, generally, Americans are bad at recognizing they need to lower their voice, and it can often be uncomfortable, borderline painful, because it does feel like an American is bellowing at you when they speak. I actually suffered from this problem of speaking too loud when I moved back to the UK, and it took a few years to get back into the habit of speaking more quietly.
    I would dispute the openness to first generation immigrants however. It may be a result of when specifically I was in the US, with the run up to Trump's election making the country feel increasingly hostile to me, even as a white British immigrant. I felt distinctly unwelcomed, and at risk, in the US, and I'm sure if I was feeling that way, that racial minority immigrants felt even more so.
    As to Americans with guns, all I'll say is, in some of the rural Walmarts in "Pennsyltucky"... yeah, lot of people walking around with their firearms, and it's creepy how people have become accustomed to that, considering how poor, in general, standards are regarding who may possess and carry a firearm. Scarier still, I know that for all the weapons that were openly carried, there were a number that could have been carried concealed, whether with, or without, a permit for such. I had no way of knowing whether I was seeing a genuine good guy with a gun, or a mass shooter seconds from deciding to ruin an entire store full of people. That was deeply concerning, as someone who is not inherently against firearms (to the extent I believe some countries are too strict in their firearm control), and who is themselves not afraid of firearms, and actually enjoys firing them at a range. It isn't that firearms scare me, it is that the types of people inclined to carry firearms everywhere are probably the ones who should be most restricted from doing so.

      As for rraction vids ille stick with Steve over at ReactingtomyRoots and JTandAnna and to think he knows the answeres to every question he might be asked (aye right) Could be worse tho like JPS he watches a vid that says American are dumb or do things wrong he questions if the vid is fake or not lol
