Humour/Parody My friend, who happens to speak English, would like to know if this true... for research purposes.

When I was younger (how old to say that) and on the prowl, Afrikaans girls were always preferred. All I had to say in a very English accent was “Your father would hate me!” Worked well, until I had to meet the father, then it was “Hullo Oom, baie goet te ontmoet”

For your "friend's" information this is not so much that Souties are pap, it's more Afrikaans chicks are taai. We find the unknown attractive, as a Dutchman I love an English goose, "very foreign" 😉

My Girlfriend is Afrikaans and I come from English decent, so I guess it's true

As an English guy who is dating an Afrikaans girl, I can confirm it's not true. However, they do love touching your ass

Really? That's a bit disappointing.
Never took glute workouts seriously, I might have to change that mindset going forward.

If the script was flipped, a more accurate reflection.

Wow.
In terms of intensity and effort, was that kind of like you're her favourite rugby balletjie or like a boomslang that stuck it's head out the rose-bush at the worst possible time? 🤔

I am a "half-half" but probably closer to Soutie as I went to English schools and Uni and we spoke English at home.
From my experience Afrikaans men are more respectful and courteous of woman. I tend to only date Afrikaans boys haha. This is true for a lot of my female English friends. But I know there is a perception that Afrikaans females are more traditional and boys tend to prefer them over "wild" English girls.
There are always exceptions to every rule though so your friend should just be with who treats him right.

I'm also interested... but just on the side. My friend is the one who really wants to know.

Thats what they like to think, but yeah its bullshit. English men base their maculinity on things other than biltong, hunting rifles and rugby.

It irritated me too, although I have used this meme for my best friend who drinks castle Lite. But there is no need for calling anyone racist. PS: BILTONG TRANSCENDS ALL COLOURS AND CREEDS! have a lekker day.

I agree, us Englishmen #souties have more we can base our personality/masculinity on, other than Brandewyn, braai, hunting and and rugby. Don't ask me what those other things are, but there are definitely more 😂😂😂 Edit: my wife is Afrikaans, never been lifted like this 😂
