Overall, women in Germany are quite emancipated. Dinner bills are often split down the middle. It's not uncommon for a woman to pick up a man. Germans strive for perfection. That's evident when it comes to flirting. There are schools teaching how to take those first steps toward meeting someone new. A school in the Ruhr area offers an international flirting course. You can learn that you're better off trying to lure an Italian into your home with a butterfly collection than a stamp collection. In Italy, unwanted attention is rewarded with something more poetic than a simple, "Bug off." Romans prefer the more poetic "Buy yourself a forest and get lost in it."
