Are Italian men, especially footballers, mostly a bunch of hysterical hairdressers?

Question

I think of the poem...
'I love to drink Chianti
On my elephanti
I'd be so gallanti
Girls would throw their pantie'
Whoever wrote those lines hit the nail on the head for me.

Answer 1

I hadn't heard the poem and it's amusing, but no, of course all Italian men are not hysterical hairdressers. That is very insulting to hairdressers!!

I'm not a hairdresser, but I am half Italian, and I have met some lovely Italian men, who are caring fathers, warm husbands, good friends to the women in their lives.

Have you been to Italy? It is a very beautiful country, and there are all sorts of people in it.

I don't think you can generalise about any race, though there are certainly some racial stereotypes that seem to stick.

I wonder what nationality you are and how you feel about people stereotyping You?

Good question though - it got me thinking.

Answer 2

Well, its steryotypical...but tis gotta be true :P I love Europe, i think we've gotta have the best bunch of oddities in the whole blummin world..I mean we've got the French, the Germans, the Italians AND the British *sighs*. No wonder we've slaughtered each other for the past 400 years

Answer 3

like yah, and there is that stereotype that most italian men are gay-or at least wishing they could be gay, but they do make good designers though, I mean where would we be without our Versace, Prada and Dolce&Gabbana-scrounging around Matalan thats where...

Answer 4

no. that's a completely racist thing to say and i wouldn't have even bothered answering your question until i saw that only racist people had replied to it, and i had to redress the balance.

Answer 5

i don't know but it's funny

Answer 6

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes this is true
