He obviouly is ignrant,thinking with that which is below his waist, and it's merely wishful thinking on his part.

I met a european man just last weekend. Charming, gentleman, all the right words, etc etc. Not to mention loaded (doctorate teaching at the local university). After one day of just about every cliche in the book, I was back in his bed. Granted I was not in Rome, I was in our local city, his charm worked the same here as abroad. Damn. What is more sad, that I feel for it, or that I probably will again, knowing what I know now :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('422','stupidamericangirl'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('422','stupidamericangirl','Well don\'t I feel stupid :)\r\n\r\nWhile I am secretly hoping that the second letter is as others have suggested writen by an american or at least from fantasy, my gut suggests otherwise. \r\n\r\nI met a european man just last weekend.
