Twenty four when it comes to romance the friends have the reputation of being passionate first rate lovers well we have a lot going for it jeannie french is the language of love paris is the city of love but whats it like to really go out with the french person. Are dating rules different here in france and what about frencnh attitudes to marriage divorce and infidelity join us for this episode of french connections plus where we give you the ins and outs of the game of love. For the frerench have a a long standing tradition of seduction its seen as just another part of our pleasure driven lifestyle flirting is certainly a French National pastime and gallantry is alive and well with french Men Always Holding the door for french women for example. I always say ive never been so aware of being a woman as i am here in france but that of course can also be a double edged sword well it must be said that french flirting and chivalry dental p. Have come under scrutiny in the wake of the me. Too movement but that is a major topic will have to export in the show suffice it to say that the french take a it very seriously. Theyre not ashamed to be romantic and relationships can go a lot faster than they do elsewhere for example in my experience if youre going to sit down for a flirty coffee with someone. Theres a good chance they probably think youre going to sleep with. That that is true but its hard to generalize about dating in france because there arent as many codes as there are say in the United States there no rules about. How the actor when to call the person back in pda in sex or no . That being said i guess there is one rule and that is that you dont date several people at the same time in france youre pretty much exclusive but genie i am no dating expert so. I asked around. Friendss twenty four we have journalists from about thirty countries so these are journalists working here living here and interacting with the locals if you want to find out more about what its like to date a french person. Chances are youll find some good answers in france twenty four news room. They are super romantic on one of our first dates with my husband we did the he took me on a scooter and we did like a about he by night kind of tore around paris and it was really romantic it really was so not pleleased at all the r rules today saying you should definitely be part of the british gcse french syllabus. Its a different pair when we kissed i realized my voice boyfriend girlfriend pretty quicklkly and only it takes a while in england. I didnt even realize i was in a relationship that i was presented this girlfriend. Gets ready to kill me for saying french man go from zero to i love in sixty seconds. So i it moves a lot faster i am hahave friendsds unfortunately i have no french accent when i speak english have notice of the french accent works. At the mesa mazing thing i used to listen his voice mails over neighbor neighbor and repeat doesnt work as well anymore. It was a my friend smells like rotten eggs all the time because he loves cheese how to be diplomatic about this i think they complain. A locks i dont think i would say asia time to a french boyfriend because it say posted and d you want to say in your on language i if somebody y of it s itits he then f fls g good s sl so being french does have this added value was certain people other people finding french very annoying totally [inaudible] definitely. If the dating stage goes well the next step can be marriage but in france many people end up having to weddings thats because Church Weddings are not officially recognized by french law. That means that many people end up having a first civil wedding in a local town halll before a saying their vows in a place of worship. Like in other countries couples get together their families and friends for a big party but there are some things that make a wedding uniquely french for instance. Yes ninety or the cook on which is basically a pyramid a for federal but sometimes served instead of a wedding cake theres also a pyramid of champapagne glasses that turns into a bubbly champagne fountai. And when it comes to music ththeres a very set pull a list here in france for french weddings going from waltz is to nineteen fifties rock and roll musicc to french disco classics. These days the wedding rate is going down in france and people are getting married at a later age for instance man its typically around thirty eight years old and women around thirty five when it comes to the divorce rate france has one of the highest in the world. At around 55 more more people end up not getting married at all but just living together when it comes to babies six out of ten french children are born out of wedlock something thats more and more accepted. In this traditionally catholic coununtry in fact in france theres an easier way of saying i do with fewer Strings Attached since nineteen ninety nine couples both gay and straight can enter a union called a fax. Affect similar the city that had the eight civil solidarity pact its kind of like a wedding contract but a bit more water down with some of the same legal benefits but not all of them. These days the fax is mostly used by straight couples but initially it was used by same sex couples that is until gay marriage became legal in. Two thousand thirteen n of the o hundred d twenty eight thousand weddings that take place each year in france 3 for same sex unions. The two thousand thirteen ma yes to marriage for everyone log gives homosexual couples the exact same rigights as heterosesexuals when it comes to marriage adoption and inheritance. While held by many as a major stepowards equalitity it also left theountry deeeeply divided. Der the banner of thehe many will losee the demononstration r all hunundreds of thousasands of mainly catholilic protesterss tk traditional vues. Defense of despspite a strong show of resiance aajority of french peopople support gay m marriag t key issues remain unresolvedd. The main Sticking Point revolves around something called. An eight medicically assisted procreation essentially artificial inseminatation and i. Currrrently pma is onlyy opepeno heterosexuxual couples but president thehe menu and micichl wantnts to make itt legal for lesbiaians and singlee womenen. To a an idea backedd by frances top independent ethical body. Traditional catholic groups say this is an open door to surrogacy which is illegal and have vowed to put up. A fight. Okay flow we have to talk about the elephant in the room infidelity france is famous are rather infamous for being tolerant of adultery well its a cliche thats encouraged by pop culture because if you look at french films it seems like everyone is sleeping with. Everyone and then theres some very high profile politicians who have had some very high profile affairs for instance the former president for swimming the whole he had a whole second family studies show that france is the least judgmental country in the world when it comes to adultery. And that attitude has had its effect on behavior well according to polls half of frfrench men and a third of freh women admit to having cheated on their partners but that being said. Some sociologists say thahat jut because french people are more honest about cheating doesnt mean that they cheat more than other countries the perhaps just less hypocritical and more realistic about the challenges. Of monogamy and the possibility of having a flexible but healthy marriage though that is the bet. So just what does the future hold for a lot more affluent says f fw you wantnt to find out more. Like elsewhere in the world the game of love has been shaken up by on line dating here in france and to tell me more about that im joined by did have a ball hes the ceo and co founder. Of the dating app happen a fewew yeyears ago it was taboo to be Online Dating but more recently in the last couple of years its become completely acceptable what do you think changed. I sing thats ten years ago fifteen years ago being on the dating websites was up to be a loser and to the everyone goes very easy on on the on the on the dating and this is not particularly french i think it this is really worldwide how has the dating on your phone say. Change the the way we interact with people do you think its changed the with the rules of dating in general. Not with me in fact you keep the ba fuels that you are in your life and you transpose them into the digital world. So some people that are looking for more so your solution cheap for their real special one we have the same view of you on the on the job. I do oppose it he he does how did some newbibie fuels for example the dis a jail but the immediacy. Okay to the people they want immediate results whats interesting about happen is its International Company yeah what have you noticed about french style dating compared to other countries okay first there is something which is very common between all the countries when you ask single why there are single. They all tell you. Because it is very difficult to findnd someone then we will notice different usage between the country of for example who fell to king about the woman the reactions facing the dating in some countries they read it very easy do the first move like for example in south america all in all the you know the ex when in france all theyll cells European Countries you take the spain woman will weights being asked by someone so women are more passive mall perceiving on the thats was not really what i was thinking at the sinking of the beginning of the french have a reputation of being particularly good at romamance would you say thats true on and off line okay we probably have a huge coach and to also for writers intel so about true love about romance so its probably contributes to make our be a fuel mall roman cheek noticing that rovi something thats existed over the wall of the you know the countries and evan the fee at sixty four ounce the ships foforms of loaves from singing thats human being needs. And so. Will end on that a philosophical word thank you so much different than what is being i guess. Mamany of you send in your questions about love and romance here in france like that can see murphy she asks is valentines day a big deal here the french are divided when it comes to valentines day in fact some people love to hate valentines they they see it as a purely. Consumerist holiday but for those who give in to consumerism they give the same gifts as they do everywhere in the world chocolate and flowers i have a question for you flow a few years ago it was a really big thing. To come to paris and put a padlock on the point is our bridge across the sand as a proof of your love but now those padlocks are gone what happened but they were removed a couple of years ago and good riddance there were so many of these and love. Locks that there ended up being forty five tons of them on the bridge which endanger the bridge and many parisians saw as a selfish lack of respect for the city and also who represents love with. Catalog its different. That is a good point all right thats all the time we have for today so please keep sending me your questions you can tweet me at local minnow or you can send us a message on facebook.
