Emily in Paris is a popular show about an American girl from Chicago, making her way through life as a social media marketer in Paris. But while she struggles to navigate the dating world in France, it seems like French girls in real life are having no such problems in the United States, especially when pickup trucks are involved.
A TikTok from the account songsbynoe shows a French woman’s reaction to riding in the back of a pickup truck for the first time, and let’s just say it was love at first… cargo bed.
“I’ve only waited my whole life for this,” she captioned the video. “Core memory unlocked.”

Twitter picked up a screenshot of the TikTok, and many users felt prompted to share the basic American “”thing”” that had wowed their foreign friends and romantic partners. @uncledoomer also shared his disdain for “European men’s tiny European compact cars.”
european women are so unsatisfied by european men’s tiny european compact cars that just the sight of an american mid size pickup truck is enough to make a european woman fall madly and inextricably in love pic.twitter.com/5Vksgh14fT

My boyfriend told me about how when he was a teenager he would invite girls over to his house in rural Sweden and make them deli meat sub sandwiches, which he had learned about in the US, to impress them and they would tell him, “I never knew that a sandwich could be like this!” https://t.co/aIs9M8UXAR

I have Chinese family who came to visit a few years back, and when my buddy pulled his Toyota Tacoma with aftermarket lights into my parents backyard and sat in the bed one of them started grinning wildly and clapping at him like he was doing some kind of cultural performance https://t.co/ysqOe2AKOP

Always make sure to offer this kinda ride to Europeans whenever they’re visiting in my town. Had four Scotsmen ride in the back of my truck on our way to the pub about a month ago

Noe’s TikTok is full of short videos like this that could be interpreted as engagement bait, and there is nothing else on her page to confirm that she is actually French. Still, there are plenty of examples to prove that many Europeans are fascinated by the most basic examples of American excess.
But like @Bolverk15 points out, it goes both ways. “Don't tell this man what American women get up to when they vacation in Europe.”
