German people tell each other what they mean. We do not make a difference between man and woman in that. Perhaps that is why your woman do not trust you.

I'm glad they laugh at you though.

What are we doing here? Is country bashing funny again?

We Europeans always bash our neighbors. We're like brothers, that always fight but at the end of the day would stand in for another.
I'd kiss those silly frenchmen, that I keep on bashing, on the lips long before I'd even consider giving a yankee a hug.

I’ve heard it claimed German humour differs from English humour due to the grammar of the German language making it harder to hide the punchline, and so largely eliminating a lot of wordplay. The humour that remains is either cerebral (conceptual satire and such) or lowbrow slapstick.

And the joke is someone from the other famously gay country is mocking us for being gay

People who genuinely think Germans cannot be funny should check out Otto Waalkes.
