Nun ja, das ist eher unterschiedlich, aber auf Leute wie uns dürfte das wohl zutreffen, weil wir meist eh das Gespräch auf Dinge zu lenken versuchen, die uns interessieren. Typischer Smalltalk ist das dann eher selten. Am einfachsten finde ich es ja die Frauen einfach brabbeln zu lassen, so ihnen danach ist. Aber so dürfte es wohl vielen Kerlen gehen.

Keine Ahnung, aber auf jeden Fall sind die um einiges wortreicher zu Gange und haben typischerweise erheblich weniger Geduld. Das wichtigste am Auto ist bei denen die Hupe.

Hey - don't be that offensive towards aspies and Germans!
At least nobody looks like me here beside of me ...
But even the other aspies that I know are quite different in their own special way.
So....
are you saying that Germans should be offended by being compared to aspies?
Or are you saying that aspies should be offended by being compared to Germans?
Which label is the epithet, and which group is the victim of the epithet?

Both are victims except me!

I agree. That was a pretty broad comment.

Sorry, I answered in German before just because it sounds more natural then. But the translations of Google or DeepL are quite wrong because it's verbally to complicated for the current AI based translations and therefore the translated version of my answer here:

Well, that's rather different, but people like us probably are, because we usually try to direct a conversation to things that interest us. Typical Smalltalk is rather rare then. The easiest way for me is of course just to let the women babble, if they feel like it. But that's probably how it is for many of the guys.

No idea, but in any case they are a lot more talkative and typically have much less patience. The most important thing of their car is the horn.

)By "look" I mean "behave". Germans can come off as stiff, and stern, and unemotional. Like aspies.

Don't make it worse and the aspies bad!
You are right. Germans without enough beer are more formal and more reserved than the people of other nations. (Except may be the high society of the other nations.)
