Liquid-Concrete

A recent conversation between friends:

CoquillageRouge: then he'll have to respond with some kind of liquid-concrete answer
SocialDisruption: oh how i hate the liquid-concrete
CoquillageRouge: yeah, it's easy to get stuck in, for one thing!

Said friends were generalizing European males. Their conversation can be summed up in two words: liquid-concrete. What is liquid-concrete? It is the talking in circles that many American girls (whom I've talked to anyway) find frusterating. There are two European conversation extremes - bluntness or circles. We can deal with the bluntness. It may hurt our pride but at least we understand. The circles on the other hand are mind-boggling. It's that vague conversation where you know something important is being said without it actually being said. It's that answer that doesn't really give you a positive or negitive answer. It's that je n'sais pas quoi that frusterates you yet keeps you intrigued.

Now, I realize this is a generalization. Like all generalizations, there are people who do not fit the mold. A great website for European generalization created by Americans is: http://americangirlsareeasy.com/book It's a satire website, so don't take it as truth. The title itself is a generalization. It's good for a laugh and nothing more.
