YES!
Hollywood portrays Italian men as sexy, powerful and 'bad boys'. That is EXACTLY what ALL women fall for. So they develop a 'thing' for Italians. Even colored broads love them some 'Italian men' and even ghetto thug niggaz in hollywood and rap industry love and 'respect' characters in scorcese films.
As you said, "colored broads", like them because many look Hispanic (some look down right black--due to the Moors), plus the movie thing. Example the Italian guy on the first season of Sly Stallone's "boxing" reality show. His girl was some sista with a long weave. She look good, but she looked unstable, like there was nothing there after you get past the looks. He was weak-willed dude, who was brought back. He lacked backbone, and drive, why any female would stick by that (and have a daughter), or the dude who killed himself, is beyond me. That show, showed that many boxers have self confidence issues. I didn't know that until the show.
This past Thanksgiving we had a friend of the family who was from Peru, and he spent some time in NYC, he said the Italians didn't along with the Puerto Rican dudes, because at the clubs, the PR dudes could "chat the girls up", while the Italians stood in the corner with gold on. THe girls want to know what you gotta say, not what type of chain you got. So, that kinda blows the " thing for Italians" out of the water , becasue the girls in NYC saw right thru the whole fasade
the way, I have never seen anybody in public wear their hair like that (I've seen white dudes with do-rangs). Why would you want to look like Sonic the Hedgehog?
....I lost respect for society.

American Society has reached its zenith, I'm afraid. Look around, we as a Nation are not working towards anything, not trying to improve. What goals do we have as a nation? We are like Rome centuries ago, right before the "fall". Look at China, India, they are improving and setting goals, and slowly, yet surely they past America...and then the day will come come when they too will be infatuated by Movie sterotypes (and Movie "stars"), indicating that they care more about those than the state of their nation...and they too will be surpassed.
