Maybe it was just my idiosyncratic experience, but I found the men in Germany more willing to reach out and be friendly. I was just over there for a few weeks, and I found this a bit surprising. I guess I should not, since it's a totally different culture. In this country, it seems unless you are in a social club you mentioned, you work together, are on an athletic league together, you're neighbors, or your wives/girlfriends know each other, you're a bit out of luck.
