Well, it depends, it is realy a cliché.
For exemple, I work just next to a gettho, and 2 days ago I had to fight with a young man because he was hiting his wife. It was not very romantic tho...
I think mens are everywhere the same. There is a lot of pervert, like everywhere else in the world.
Only few place are romantic, at Paris for exemple, with the Eiffel tower, or at Bordeaux wich is the capital of wine. In the rest of France, it's like everywhere else.
