I will agree that American guys for the most part lack in romance area and could stand to take some lessons from non Americans. That being said, the reason is with the rampant feminism and overplaying of it in our culture, girls in the states want to be treated like equals but still want the benefits of chauvanism (guys have to make the first move, pay for dates, cater to her, etc.). Also with the usage of turning beauty into an earning tool for girls, I've talked to girls who didn't even like the guy but went on a date with him because it would be a "free night on the town" or used his attraction towards her for her benefit while not saying she's interested, but flirting and not saying she isn't. Basically American men are disillusioned with American women, so for the most part they stop trying because American women are being rather abusive, using, self centered, etc.
American women can most definitely take lessons from non-American women as well. I generally try to avoid getting too involved with American girls, until they prove they are atypical. I am eventually moving out of America to Germany for a better paying job and I enjoy the lifestyle more than in the States. That being said, I am an American male, and am romantic, caring, etc. Yet the only ones who appreciate it are the non-American women. American women tend to expect all of these qualities from me and when I don't show them every single time, they get rather nasty and upset that we "aren't treating them right." So my advice to American women, if you're dating a decent guy, treat him like you want to be treated, know him well enough to know when he is doing something he considers special to/for you. For example, something special I've done for my girlfriend is send her on a wild goose chase through my apartment with little clues leading to clues which lead to a small gift. One girl got angry because I wouldn't just give her the gift and made her "go on a stupid clue hunt." I assure you I never did anything like that for her again and eventually left her.
I'm not saying American guys are all awesome, but there are some decent ones out there, you generally just have to actually approach them or make them feel appreciated. So the next time you complain that there are a lack of good American guys, maybe you should take a look at your expectations and what you do for him. You might be surprised.
