Yeah. I noticed people do that a lot in real life. Most of the people I encounter do it because theyre either afraid of upsetting the other person or they're just self absorbed.
A lot of people get a shock when they meet a German as Germans has a attitude of you say what you mean and get fustraited with people that beat around the bush.
I'm not trying to sound racist and I don't think you are, but most of the Germans I knew were always afraid of offending someone especially if the person was female or a minority. I'm not saying they're all this way it's just my experience.
Oh yeah, in German culture there is a difference between saying your opinion, it is considered fine to have your opinion and being strait out rude. From what I have seen in German culture for example say two people were in a clothing shop and one of them did try some jeans on and they asked "Do I look good in these?" well if the person didn't suit the jeans it is not considered rude to say those particular jeans don't suit them and tell them why.
In other cultures like in the USA and New Zealand as well as England and some other places we would be more like "Oh yeah, they look good" as we pulled another item off the shelf and said "these also look awesome"
See what I mean the Germans are much more direct and to the point. It is not considered rude. The way they look at it is that if you can't handle an honest answer then you should not have asked the question in the first place.
However, if you were to say "O my gosh, ewwwwwwww gross, look at how awful the person looks in those" or swear or anything similar when the person asked you if they looked good in the jeans even in German culture you would be considered crude, rude and extremely immature.
I was just using the jeans thing as an example. Hope it makes sense. German culture tends to be much more to the point and direct and not beating around the bush. However, you can still be considered rude.
I mean all Germans like anyone from any country are different but this is generally what they tend to be like. Cultural differences.
What do you think of people that don't answer the question you asked
