"Well, I promise you that you will see a lot of beautiful women in Paris but the news about actually meeting them isn't as good.

I notice you're from Australia, certainly one of the friendliest and most informal places on Earth. You'll find the French considerably more reserved and formal than Aussies (or Americans) which does make getting to know people considerably more difficult.
