People are afraid of what they don't understand. Having a country who shares a common language but who are different can be confusing.... especially if you have never actually met some. And I mean met- not overheard . I admit that I had some of my own preconceptions before I came here, and I'm friends with other internationals who still don't appreciate them very much. But I have some really great american friends who welcomed me warmly from the start, and I was very pleased to find out how wrong i was. I hope that I won't make that mistake again!

Having said that, I know through my non-american and non-brit friends that guys from the UK are also not very well thought of, especially by other europeans.

oh well, whatever!

Carefully, so as not to rip the skin.

Buy it a few drinks, tell it how pretty it looks, and pretend you arent already married - that usually works.

Hmmm, why would anyone not like yanks?
Lets see....foreign policy aside (if that is possible), alot of them appear to live up to the stereotypes of being rude, arrogant, ignorant etc.
ANyone in a foreign country ends up being an ambassador for their country. If people meet one yank like I described, they are probably going to take a dislike to any others.

But the French think the English are tw@ts the English think the Germans are arseholes, the Spanish hate the French (as do the English) we think Aussies are common, the Aussies think we Brits are losers....and so it goes on.
