"But since that guy tried many languages on the OP, it's definitely NOT because she's American."

Excellent point.

Also I have never heard of the stereotype that American women are supposed to be especially "loose" in Europe. I can't speak for Italy, France or Greece, but I've spent holidays in all three of those countries and never ever did guys hit more on Americans than other foreign girls.

I'm living in Holland.
If anything, American tourists think we're all drug-dealing prostitutes over here and talk to us like they could buy us with a few dollars.

As many have said, it varies place to place. The areas you listed I have not heard much warning about in comparison to, say, South America (in general) or some countries in Africa. And as I said, I have been given these warning spefically about the dangers of being a American woman (on top of just being a woman) by people who were NOT even American in their origin.

And I am sorry for the jerks who assume stuff like that. However, I would like to point out that saying 'American women have a poor stereotype which encourages harassment in some countries' is a far cry from saying 'all of x nationality treat everyone like shit.'

Just sayin'. It drives me crazy when people who act so damn culturally enlightened pull even worse shit but because it is x nationality it's 'okay'.

I am also not saying that other women of other countries have it any better or any worse, just that there is a certain stereotype which may be dangerous in certain countries/situations/regions. I imagine every nationality has some added danger in certain countries because of varying social, cultural, and historical tension/representation.
