Cracking The Code: How To Spot A Maltese Man

1. Tries to come off as macho

The common Maltese Man is very in touch with his macho side, and is not afraid to prove it. Whether it’s flexing his muscles at the beach, or dishing up some real attitude in business meetings, he’s always ready to show off his manliness.

2. Has a love affair with his car

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a BMW or an old banger, he loves his car. It won’t be a surprise if he drives his girlfriend up to a romantic viewpoint, only to then get out and take some sexy pictures of his car against the sunset.

3. Loud

‘I am Maltese, hear me roar’ would be an apt adaptation of the common phrase. Us Maltese are loud, and proud of it. So much so that an everyday conversation may often be mistaken for a heated fight to the untrained ear.

4. Loves his mamma

Family is important for all Maltese people, but the bond between a Maltese man and his mother is the strongest of all. She’s his first love and probably his last. He’ll always be a mamma’s boy at heart.

5. Probably still lives at home

It’s not unusual for Maltese men to live at home until they marry or buy their own apartment, which sometimes doesn’t happen until he’s in his thirties. But hey, why move out when you’ve got mamma’s cooking?

6. Water polo or football player/supporter

Depending on age and athleticism, it’s probably safe to say that he either plays or supports either water polo or football. Whether it’s Neptunes WPSC, Floriana F.C or Juventus, he’s loyal to his team.

7. A true patriot

He loves his country. This is expressed either through his Maltese cross tattoo or through the bumper stickers on his car.

8. Meets friends everywhere he goes

Malta is a tiny island, and most Maltese are very sociable beings. Thus, the typical Maltese man will meet people he knows almost everywhere he goes.

9. ‘King’ or ‘Bro’ worked into every sentence

We’ve got loads of Maltese, English, and ‘Minglish’ slang phrases that creep into our everyday vocabulary, but most Maltese men favour the classic ‘King’ (/kink) or ‘Bro’, which gets worked into every sentence.

10. Probably your cousin

It’s happened to all of us, probably several times. You meet someone who you’ve never met before, only to quickly find out that they’re your 2nd-cousin-twice-removed. With a country so small, it’s bound to happen. It’s a canon event, we can’t interfere.
