Well, that's because he is German.

Hint:
He can't get laid.

But not to be confused with Ueli, which is a shortened form of Hans-Ulrich, I believe.

Wondering if there are any Swiss females joining this discussion - one of previous posters has made quite clear how their opinions will be weighted

This is another typical behavior of a Swiss. If one is not in agreement, to join immediately other people and making childish and absurd accusations, such not being able to get laid...

What does this have to do with the original post, plus, I am happily married to my Swiss/Italian wife and we have good sex at least 5x a week, so please, stop making false accusations towards other people if you don't agree with them, and instead, be like one of the educated Swiss, and post examples where I am wrong and why, but perhaps, you could be one of those that sees nothing negative about himself but only in others, aka, stubborn...proofing my first point.

Ah, newly married, rose tinted glasses

If you call 14 years newly The success to good healthy marriage sex life is having no secrets and being open, works since day one!

The Antedeans from Antede III are an ichthyohumanoid species which resemble fish. While a member of the United Federation of Planets, they seldom receive visitors and thus have not been seen by many members of the Federation. Another trait that keeps them from interacting with their fellow Federation members is a strong distaste for space flight: although the Antedeans are a space-going race, space travel is quite traumatic for them. In order for individuals to deal with this problem they induce a catatonic state while in space flight. To awaken from this state takes several hours. Once awakened from the sleep Antedeans are generally ravenous and eat large portions of vermicula.

There is a division in the Antedean race on whether membership in the Federation is a good thing. Ambassador Lwaxana Troi foiled a plot on Stardate 42859.2 when 2 Antedeans tried to sabotage their planet's Federation membership conference on Pacifica with ultritium concealed in their garments.

Not enough

after 21 years of marriage, it would represent a banner year for me.

According to my experience and also according to many experts I have been hearing about this topic, the languages are not the main cultural difference within Switzerland. More important cultural divides are between traditionally catholic and traditionally protestant areas and between city and country-side.

If you like party then you need to live in a traditional catholic area like Luzern, Wallis or Ticino - people in protestant areas (even if they are not protestants themselves) are generally more serious.

The stereotype about Zurich people within Switzerland is that they are arrogant and always in a rush. But all the people I know that have moved from other parts of Switzerland to Zurich actually say that Zurich people are more open-minded than the ones where they come from - and I hear this particularly often from people moving from Ticino or Lausanne/Geneva to Zurich. They mostly have to revise their stereotypes completely.

All non-white people I know or heard talking about this topic who are living in Switzerland and before that in one or more other European countries say that racism is much lower in Switzerland than in the other European countries they have been living before.

This is really often the case. Service attitude in service businesses has deteriorated a lot. Too many spoiled people, especially the young ones.

I would disagree with that. Government employees and also police is in most cases much less rude and especially less stubborn than in most other countries I've been. They want laws to be followed, but at arm's length, in a way that it makes sense for all parties, including the citizen. The purpose and rationale of a law is normally more important than the exact wording.

let me guess: Swiss787 is the special one who is "different than the other Swiss"and makes up for it aaall the way... ;-) actually astonishing that you don't seem to be mentioned in any tourist guide yet... ;-)

I thought you hate boredom and now you advise to avoid the thrill of the famous washing machine wars... not consistent, your arguments... ;-)

Don't think so. A lot of celebrities like it here also because their privacy is highly respected. People are not getting too curious unless somebody wants it. If Roger Federer wants to escape the hype, he comes to Switzerland! There is no Federer hype here even though it's his home country. Unthinkable pretty much anywhere else.

On the other hand, most people I know here are genuinely interested in knowing more about other countries and to listen to stories or enjoy art from around the world. Foreign artists frequently mention that people here are very attentive and receptive - leading to a real interaction between artist and audience.

In my view, there is no child-unfriendly country in the world, but most countries I know are a little bit more child-friendly than Switzerland. Because many countries are more family-oriented and have also more to offer in terms of cultural productions for children.

Unless they aren't getting laid themselves. Then they resort to rehashing the person-in-question's behaviour in their puberty, in their childhood, their parents behaviour and the grandparents behaviour. Everything a person does is traceable to other ancestors in their lineage.

So its not just expats that think Switzerland is some sort of post-apocalyptic hell hole then

Could you develop a little bit this idea or are you planning to leave at that? I find your remarks to be far away from reality. Switzerland is quite family-oriented as far as I noticed, and doesn't lack in cultural productions (?) for children.

LOL
Again you are 100% proving yourself wrong. Maybe it's time you are stopping your stereotyping, you are quite bad at it.

Flash News N°1: Swiss people are not the center of the world, nor they are the best candidate to take initiatives with let's say "humorous" attempts.

Flash News N°2: I'm not Swiss. Feel free to modify your stereotype and add a new category corresponding to my previous "humorous attempt".

Flash News N°3: You are far from being the center of the world, or of Switzerland, or even of your commune. The "humorous" attempt was not actually about "you" but about what you said. The context of someone saying "not united / uncooperative unless you pay for a service", which sounded like "paying someone for a service". Hence the joke attempt.

Flash News N°4: Please keep your private things...private. I don't care. Probably no one care, really!

Funny about "justifications", it seems people having to justify their personal life to a perfect stranger are more teenagers who can't control themselves and feel the need to prove them wrong!


PS: About posting "examples" of where you are wrong? You were never "right" in the first place, your OP is far away from being anything "right". As for the rest? All of your lame stereotypes are either wrong or can be said about individuals from half of the world populations.
But ignore that, go on, I would not want to burst your bubble.

I found the original post to be extremely reflective of the Swiss in my area. Even the Swiss would agree to many of the points listed as given evidence in many discussions about this with the locals.

I know trhere are a lot of gullable foreigners around, but please "at least 5 times a week" after 14 years.....

You make it sound like an obligation rather than a pleasurable activity

I have sex several times a week, and I've been married for 14 years, too!

Sometimes, the missus is even present for it!

Switzerland is not as Nature Friendly as people think; I have found that most people here (Swiss and foreigners) are completely ignorant about environmental issues or just turn a blind eye to problems. Here are some of my pet hates:

1. Nespresso coffee and tea capsules in every workplace (and most are not recycled)

2. Glass bottles are smashed or trashed rather than cleaned and reused

3. People who take long distance vacations all over the world with little though to global warming and then lecture me about drinking from a plastic bottle

4. Many super evil companies with terrible environmental records are based here.

Yeah, all very terrible, they even employ foreigners so i hear,
