Personality

I think people reflect the country they belong to. People from powerful countries that count something feel themselves secure and confident, they behave as their nation behaves so they know what they want and take it. People from Germany, Russia, US, England and France can be considered so. One can include among these countries also the ones that have been always considered models of civilization as the northern European countries. These people are used to doing everything they want without being judged, and if somebody judges them they don't care. There's neither social nor cultural restriction – while there obviously is and always has been in Italy – and it shows in everything they do.
This certainly has to do with the way girls behave generally. This is what among many other things happens in Italy: if a guy and a girl meet in a bar or a club and end up to bed together, either they do it hiding from people's sight – friends' included – or they are gonna be respectively a slut and a cool guy. Yes, the guy is cool and the girl is a slut. A girl that has a one-night stand even being single is a slut in Italy. A guy doing the same thing is obviously a cool guy, at least in other guys' opinion.
This is due to the fact that there's a huge problem of social disparity between men and women in Italy. I noticed that even more because I've been living two years in the home country of parity, where women have got the same rights of men, have taken at least a half of the seats in the Parliament, and behave exactly how they want and nobody is even going to think about judging them.
I'm going to give a couple of arguments about what I'm writing.
I was in a bar in my hometown some time ago with a group of friends – “la compagnia”, two girls and two guys besides me - and one of my friends noticed a guy she liked. Thus she approached him and started chatting with him and this surprised me a lot as I was not used to this in Italy. I have to mention that she's a rather beautiful and down-to-earth girl as there are few around. Her action has then been definitely disliked by my friends, who were staring at her as she was an alien and whispering each other “non si fa così”, it's not the way to do it. She is considered as a bitch among the group because she changed three boyfriends in three years and had random sex with four or five guys in one year. No comment, right?
I've been talking with an Italian girl who's now an exchange student in Stockholm. She told me that she observes the freedom that girls have in doing everything they want, for example dressing up with short dresses, miniskirts and sexy outfits without being seeked by guys nor called sluts. Or bringing a guy to their own rooms if they just feel like it. She told me she's done it as well there, but she would never do it back home because not even her close girlfriends would accept it. She claimed openly that she feels far more free in Stockholm than she does in Italy. She's not the only one.
