The word "France" itself seems so romantic. Getting acquainted with a Frenchman on a dating site and intending to come to meet him, girls often ask the same questions on the Internet. How to dress up, what makeup should look like, how to make a Frenchman like you at the first meeting ... The French, of course, are all different, each Frenchman has his own tastes and preferences. But still, there is something in common in the tastes of French men.

Simplicity

They appreciate no vulgarity. The concept of vulgarity is very extensible depending on the country, so this paragraph requires clarification. What may be acceptable in Russia often seems vulgar in France. Short skirts, high heels, extremely deep cleavage, transparent blouses, sparkles and rhinestones on all clothes - all these are considered to be attributes of the representatives of the oldest profession. Therefore, if you walk down the street of Paris in a scarlet mini-skirt, in boots on a stiletto and a shiny blouse with a neckline to the navel, do not be offended if you are whistled next.

Be as natural as possible - in clothing, makeup, and hairstyle.

Do not worry about being special. All girls themselves are different from French girls in any clothes, so there is no need to try to stand out even more for dating French women. And very few French people love aggressive combat makeup. Be as natural as possible - in clothing, makeup, and hairstyle. If you do not know for sure what your cavalier loves, then your style should be as simple as possible, it is the right way to make him like you.

Smile More

French boys pay attention to smiley girls. You need to practice in advance - look in the mirror from time to time and work on your facial expressions. Try to keep your face not constrained, tense and anxious, otherwise, you may hear the question: “Why are you so sad, has something happened?” The expression on the face is very deceptive - you can look tense because you desperately want to please a man, and therefore watch your every move, and he might think that you didn’t like it. Therefore, learn to smile and shine with joy.

Financial Case

How could it be - do not pay for a lady in a restaurant, why are French men so greedy?

The girl is expected to pay for herself. This is one of the most unpleasant stumbling blocks, about which rose-coloured glasses of many romantic women get broken when they begin to date the French. Everyone pays for himself - this is normal for the French, which often causes a storm of indignation from Russian women. How could it be - do not pay for a lady in a restaurant, why are French men so greedy? If in other areas it is possible to argue about the greed of the French, in this case, the matter is really not here but in emancipation. In the heat of the struggle for equality, women themselves have ensured that men are now afraid of offending them by paying for lunch at a restaurant.

Looking for Love on the Internet
