"I wouldn't say it's the *biggest* reason at all, but I have never seen anyone mention it when this is discuessed. I do have a lot of thoughts on other reasons, as someone who was an Amerifat until working as an au pair/in hostels in Spain and France."

"The UK, France, Germany, Italy, etc are all major cultural exporters/global influences, but Spain just isn't. Meloni is funny, Macron's married to his teacher, Friedrich Merz has abysmally fucked up hair, Starmer. But Pedro Sanchez, like the country he leads, has nothing memorable going on."
"Georgous clean cities, surprisingly competent governance, world class infrastructure (more high speed rail than any country expect China), a globally relevant language, a large enough population to matter, a friendly culture, relatively sane people, good food, good weather"

"But anytime I was a decent distance from her buying something, waiting for food or whatever without fail some fucking Spaniard manlet was getting real close to her with their dumbass mop hair. She grew up there and visits yearly so she is accustomed to it at least it wasn't some culture shock."
