Why do Americans love the English so much?

Gosh...don't flatter yourself. We don't all, but I do! You guys seem so proper and classic and VERY friendly and easy going. You're not rude. And here everything is just drama, drama, drama...basically we just love your culture and style. And how is it that you and everyone else can use the word "English" and get away with it, but I get chewed out when I do.

Americans have loved British singers. They loved James Bond movies. I don't think they hate the accent.

Gee..that is difficult because you get all kinds like everywhere else you know !!\nDo you mean the UK or just England.......cos you know don't tell a Scot that he is English .......and never tell an Irish person from Eire that they are British !!! LOL !\n\nEnglish folks.....got to narrow it down..well....\nFunny, the further north you go, unlike most countries, the more amicable and friendly they get..Usually it is the way round in countries. Go figure that one out !\nAssuming you are American: don't believe in that C%%p that English people will like you. That is all Fox TV and they don't like loud people. But they will take people as persons and not rate them according to their nationality..they will like you - or not - for who you are not because you are American.\nThey are extremely witty people in a subtle way. The humour is not "in your face". They can also be very down to earth which is very refreshing.\nTheir reputation as being prude ? Noooooooooo......They are NOT !\nYou get all kind of people.....from the stupid, ignorant types to the most cultivated and really interesting ones.\nAnd they are friendly !!! and they do not believe in bul%%%t. They are very aware.\nThey might not be the most exhuberant people (unless they have a pint or two in them) but they are definitely most interesting.\nYou will find more interesting people there. Maybe not a lot but when you find them : they will truly be memorable.\nThat is my opinion. I could write more.....but I miss them. And I am not British either.

No, I don't think Americans have any dislike for the British. Also, I think it's hard to generalize the characteristics and opinions of a whole entire nation ..especially one as diverse as the United States.

I'm English and we're great. Not sure about the British.

Speaking as an Englishman....\n\nAmericans visiting England CAN be stereotyped as noisy, brash and demanding. \nThat is not at all my experience of visiting Americans, who are generally courteous, considerate, and polite - unless of course they're here on a Preaching Mission. \n\nBecause of the media, most people in England believe that the US is all like New York or San Francisco. \n\nThis is about as accurate as imagining that all Englishmen wear a bowler hat. \nBowler hats are extinct outside of the ancient heart of the City of London, where they are increasingly rare. \n\nBecause so much English humour is based on irony, American humour often seems too obvious. (American soaps are predictable and formulaic.) \n\nIt can sometimes seem to an English person therefore that Americans are lacking in real humour.\nMisunderstandings are likely, where Americans think the English are bawdy or coarse, whilst the English think the Americans are being prissy. \nThis is a real cultural difference. \n\nOn the other hand, just about everyone in England loves The Simpsons, and most of the young want to go to New York. \n\nHowever, if your president is typical, it is evident that few Americans know much about the rest of the world. \n\nIf you think I'm wrong, try this: \nA while ago, I tried to name as many of the States as I could, and got 38. \nIf you're American, how many English counties can you name? \n\nBut maybe I should declare myself, and admit that although I've lived in Britain all my life, my grandfather was born in 1888 in a log cabin in Tawas, Michigan, built by his father. \n\nAnd maybe that's just typical of the way our histories are inextricably linked. \nAmericans and British are intrigued by one another. \nLong may that continue!

Because us Americans are getting tired of it and the English don't want our throw aways.\nNow, American football is a game you could love. Try your rugby. I love rugby and would be an avid fan if I lived in England.\nCan you get me tickets?

I spent my first 25 years in England and the rest (33) over here and I don't know why they don't like us, but being a Brit from birth I can tell you that they are opinionated and a tough audience so don't take it personal. They have no reason to not like Americans. Could be envy couldn't it?

The real deal with us British who some over the pond label as "anti-American" is not that we are against the American people as such. What I, as an "anti-American" dislike is the policies of successive USA governments. As individuals, almost all the Americans I have ever come in contact with, have been brilliant - good company and very hospitable. Good people in every way. Its just a pity that such good people never seem to get the kind of government they deserve.

Each country (mostly the democracies) offers something that is better than what America does such as the Netherlands have more free speech, German deals with the health care the best, Switzerland deals with unemployment the best and on it goes but I do think the innocent til proved guilty idea of America is best. Most Americans just love their country especially when talking from someone from another country but most people love the country they love as long as they have rights and opportunities. That said you will rarely find an American that doesn't have something about their country they hate and I think its true for most people in other countries just don't expect them to admit it to a foreigner hehe! Also, not many Americans are interested in other countries because until recently we were not impacted by them as much as other countries seem to be impacted or knowledgeable of us.
