Hanni, 21 and Romana, 23

What are you doing in New York?
H: We are here for vacation from Austria. We are just visiting friends. It has been one week and we have just one week left.

What do you think of it?
R: It's very different, but you always hear and see about New York in all the movies and everything, and then you get there and you can't get it all in. It's just so much, but it's fun.

What do you think of the boys here?
R: Well, I think there are a lot of homosexual people, which is not a problem, but you just sort of see it. We haven't talked to many, but there are some really cute ones.
H: And a lot of French and German people here. It's nice, but it's so different to go to a party when there are so many Germans. But some of them are so handsome.

Have any guys come up to talk to you so far?
H: Yes, but they weren't at parties. When we were just sightseeing, they were talking to us. "What is your name?" "What are you doing here?" Normal stuff, like small talk. They were all Americans.
R: People are just more communicative over here. In Austria, someone new wouldn't come up to you and say, "Hi, how are you?" It's really hard to just get to know somebody new. 

How would you meet a guy in Austria? What's a good way to meet a guy there?
H: Just going out. Talk to somebody. Drink a lot! And give them your number and next day perhaps he'll write you a message, and then you can go out and meet. 
R: Just mostly over the friend connections. Some friends know him. 
H: Also Facebook. Facebook is very common in Austria, so you can communicate.

Are either of you with boyfriends at the moment?
H: Yes.
R: No.

And what's your boyfriend like?
H: My boyfriend's like... oh my God, he's a bit of a player. But nice. I hope it's going to work! I don't know. 

Are you worried because you're here and he's there?
H: No, we are just Skyping every day, so I hope I can trust him. I don't know. We will see. [laughs]


Raul, 27

What do you do?
I'm a scientist. A grad student in neuroscience. 

Does that get you any girls, perchance?
Uh, yeah. In a way. People think you're smart... it works both ways, though, because thinking you're smart can make it like, "Oh, that's complicated."

Do you tend to go for women who are also cerebral?
Yeah.

Do you have a physical type as well?
Well, yeah, but like — no, not really.

Is there a certain type of girl who gravitates towards you?
Daddy issues. Maybe it's my beard that does it. I can't really generalize that way. Let me think if there's a type that's attracted to me... I would say somewhat, like, cerebral people who enjoy talking and that sort of thing. 

Do you have any fun hook-up stories?
No, they all end tragically. Here I am. I deserve to be married by now, obviously. But I'm single.

What's your timeline on marriage, then?
I don't know. A week. Two. I give myself a month, maybe. 

How many serious relationships have you had?
Maybe I would say five. They were good. Some of them were obviously not going to work, some of them were working and then not. I don't regret any of them.

What was the one that you enjoyed the most?
That's really hard to say. They were all different. I like people that I learn from, I guess, so that makes it worthwhile in the end because I did learn a shitload.

Any bad breakup stories?
Yeah. Threats of castration — that was a good one. She wasn't happy about it. That was the worst one. It was a girl I was dating for two years, and then we broke up because we needed to, and she didn't take to it.


Paulo, 22 and Marc, 22

Where are you guys from?
M: I'm from France. I work here in New York as a wine importer.

Oh, cool. Do you meet a lot of girls that way?
M: Not so much, not at my job. But I think girls like the idea of the job. 

What's the difference between French girls and American girls?
P: The style. The clothes. American girls are more free about the clothes. The French girls are more — comment tu dirait ça?
M: Straight. The way of dating is different. With American girls, there's a process. First step, you meet her, and then you go to the restaurant, then the cinema, and then you can hang out with her. I think I prefer the French style. More casual. More improvisation.
P: I think I prefer an American girl, but I like dating in France, you know? It's a different way of life.

Who's better in bed — French girls or American girls?
P: French girls. French girls are more open about sex. American girls love to seduce men, but they stop just before you get to take them home, you know? [laughs]

Have you experienced that in the U.S.?
P: With a girl? Yeah, last year. It wasn't a very long relationship — it was just for one night or something like that. 

Are you in a relationship?
P: Oh, no. I'm single.

And how about you? 
M: Single. Dating a little bit.

Okay. And what are they like, the people that you date?
M: Tonight I'm dating a black girl from New York and we're having a barbecue on my rooftop. I asked her out — I let her know that I was doing something with my roommate. 

Any crazy sex stories in New York yet?
P: Not crazy, not crazy. No more than in France. 

Do you have any crazy ex-girlfriends?
P: Yeah [laughs]. She liked everything about the sex. She was very good about that.

I liked Johanna. It was the same way with my current boyfriend. I met him at a concert/block party, hung out with him into the night, and then even when he said he'd call, I thought, well, I'll probably never see him again. We've been together a year .

I really related to Johanna's story. This is how my fiance and I ended up together - not a one night stand exactly, but not love at first sight. We just kind of fell in together.
