The German Man (cont'd)


Character:

- methodical
- self-absorbed
- very serious
- rationalizes conversation (never speaks more or uses more words than it's needed)
- lacks humor, even when he tries to be funny
- loves cleanliness, appropriateness, normality, because any disturbance of that balance causes emotion, which is unnecessary in the eyes of Germans.


Appearance: (*think Schwarzenegger; he's Austrian, but Germans are very similar)

- well-bound, muscular
- usually blond, blue-eyed
- emanates an aura of massiveness - a German man simply is, is self-sufficient and assured, as Ellie said tonight
- think Terminator: the German ideal is perfection, precision. If you have a liquid steel body and super-intelligent micro-chipped computer, you deliver exactly that. Any German man would love to be this precise - it's what they all strive for.
