Due the last century, especially german men are well known for travelling in uniform. People from Abroad now think, that germans have a special relation to uniforms. Not all ist true about this. Sure, sometimes it is very useful to have common dresses – like we can show on the picture.
So: How does a german man gets his uniform?
First time dressed: Parents are used to dress their baby similar to all other babys - maybe different colors for different genders. Have you ever tried out to find a baby in a big bunch of other babys? German men learn, that a uniform is good to hide in the crowd.
Next time dressed: Teenage time. The German man decides to be different from all other people in the world - at least different to his parents. Scientists call that a sort of “creating own personality”. The german man decides to be Punk or Skinhead or whatever – just to be different from others. Funny thing to uniform yourself to show, that you are unique.
The third time uniform: It is not used to be a time for all: The military. Only very few german men go there – so most do not have the knowledge of power of a military uniform.
Later german men follow the dresscodes in business, find their uniformed opinion in newspapers and follow up everything that advertising can offer them – especially when they buy cars. The time to use a uniform just as practical clothes for travelling are over.
German men do not like uniforms - they just wear them.

Hallo,
Ich bin Gregor aus Deutschland ich bin in München geboren und Lebe und arbeite nun als Hotelfachmann, ich bin ein sehr Interessierter Mensch und ich interessiere mich vorallem über die Meinungen anderer Menschen über Deutschland. Ich finde es schade das manche Amerikaner andere Länder als schlecht und unzivilisiert ansehen, das verletzt mich zutiefst. Aufgrund dessen hatte ich immer ein schlechtes Bild von Amerikaner aber da ich im Hotel arbeite und viel mit Amerikanern zu tun hatte kann ich sagen Sie sind mit abstand das netteste und intressierteste Volk das bei uns verkehrt. Ich werde allerdings selber nach Amerika reisen um mehr ein Bild von diesem Land und den Leuten zu machen. Ich finde Ihre Seite sehr schön und habe mich sehr gefreut als ich Sie las.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Gregor Middendorf

If you believe that all germans are fat and the man wear uniforms, then reconsider. I know many a german,an the german people of ten are quite open with in a small social group.

I’m not so sure about the rumor that German men like to travel in uniforms, but, being a foreigner in Germany, I can say without a doubt that Germans DO like to wear special outfits. In general, whenever a German person does a special activity they will put on a special outfit for it. If they go on a bike ride, they will put on a spandex bike riding suit. If they go on a Sunday walk, they will grab their “Nordic walking sticks” and their special walking shoes. I once saw a guy rollerblading down the street in a full spandex suit, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, gloves, a helmet, sun glasses, fanny pack, water bottles, and a radio.

Hey G!
I’m german and from Münster. You are right, we are litle perfectionists, when we go jogging, only in a jogging-suit. but some stuff on this side sounds very strange to me, but i think when you read this you also don’t think that I talk about americans. but my typical american is:
-fat
-unbelievable STUPID (Bush represents you nicely)
-proud of his country
-racist
-rich or poor, but nothing between them

does anybody here really think that germany is the only country where people wear “uniforms”?
i mean come on! like in the US there is nobody wearing a spandex suit. first name popping into my head: lance armstrong… or what do american business men wear for work? jeans and t-shirt?
actually i think you saw a lot people doing sports!
maybe thats because the problem of obesity is’n that serious in germany?
my favorite example for american uniforms in civil life? this high school spirit thing!
you find people wearing unifying cloths all over the world, and in germany you find comparatively few. i think that’s because germany lerned from it’s past and people know what happens if everything gets too unified. for everyone who hasn’t noticed: third reich is over!!! you guys helped germany to get rid of it! but it seems the germans are the only ones who have lerned from it…

If you create your own clothes from handmade material, THEN you really don`t wear an Uniform.
The Blogstarter talks shit like hell about germans.
If you want to know who germans really are you have go to germany and take a look.
But hurry, i heard the last germans live in an dark spooky wood named “fuhrerwald” and eat Kids from Kanacks, the other people living there. Well i think thats genocide, but you don`t care cause you believe in more lies then this blog tells. So let you Eyes closed till they get you.
I heard in usa people go to jail for not paying a tax that doenst exist in us law.
So, take a look there, they got really big problems. Germans are dead. No need to talk about them and if .. tell the truth idiots.

hello,
This might sound harsh but I do beleive that Germans do not tell you the truth.
They potray a down-to-earth and humble nature but the matter of fact is they are very prejudice against the people of color. We people of color uplift them for no reason. I am not a radical I do beleive in assimilation but as a visiting I had a very bad expereince. I am very modern & open to other cultures but my expereince was soo bad that I had to be in the hospital for some time. And it is not only me but also mine very intelligent friend from India faced prejudices. The best thing abt europe is everthing is under the carpet. Nothing really gets published.

Most of the myths are grounded in reality that are actually extracted from parallel truths. We do not like uniforms. We like to do whats right and from there you can expand your solution.
Germans are not normally racists but see things as they are and are not prone to superficiality’s which others perceive as exact opposite social reactions.

We lived in Germany for 2 years as US citizens. We were treated like 2nd class citizens. My daughter was constantly harrassed at school, my asshole nazi boss almost fired me for no reason, etc.
You can take Germany and shove it up your asses nazis. My neighbor after a few beers with us started cursing the turks and jews living in his country. The US is great as a welcoming nation of all kinds of people. I will never in a million years go back to Germany even if you give me $1million/year. No way Jose!!! I have never seen a more bunch of tight asses, stupid ’shoot from the hip’ mentality and a bunch of show-offs. To heel with all your nation of mini Hitlers. Long live the USA. Keep your frickin Euros and shove’em up your asses because we can do without your prejudice mentalities. Shame on your nation!!!

@E. Jones
OMG! When have You been there? 1943-45?
And where? I know a lot of US-citizens that got stuck in Germany because they like the social climate (less fear, aggression, exclusion and class society than in the US).
Luckily, I rarely met such Nazi-Bastards like Your neighbour. Bad luck for You, I’d say. But not typical. Right-wing-partys get less than 5 % for years now.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with
your website. It looks like some of the written text within your
posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please
provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them
too? This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
