Absolutely loved this video!! The best guest so far✨ Thank you for sharing these insights, it’s not just about dating it’s about understanding people and their cultures better. Great content, looking forward for more!🩷
Loneliness epidemic seems to be a north american thing. When i listen to people from other countries talk about their social lives, im extremely envious because I live in Canada . People say loneliness epidemic is a worldwide thing, but it doesnt seem like it to me. People live so far away from each other, going out is so expensive and people find me strange when i start conversation.
Something to keep in mind is that Catalans are not like southern Spanish or people from Madrid. As a person who has lived both in Amsterdam and Malaga, Catalans are like if a Dutch and a Spanish had a baby, I see characteristics from both sides.
I really enjoyed this video, and I’m glad that you all live in Canada, so I can get her perspective about my country (well I’m originally from Costa Rica). I’ve wanted to move to Spain but some things are not the most ideal for me and my personality because I don’t like to party or drink, and I definitely want commitment lol. Canada has its pros and cons for sure. I love Spain though, so so beautiful, and I would love living somewhere that speaks Spanish. But Canada, the employment and salary thing are great in comparison. The diversity, the safety, raising a family. Anyway, interesting video!
Her observations about Spain are a bit too simplified in my opinion, for example relating to bullfighting. For many people all over Spain bullfighting isn't a big thing and are rather against it. It's not only Catalonia. Her view is a bit annoying, I think, as if only Catalonia were a more progressive place.
Something was weird about her. She doesn't even look anything like a Northern Spaniard, who look a lot like the man in my thumbnail. She looks mestiza from LATAM not Spaniard. I have even met people who's all sets of parents were from Barcelona and I told them that they were a northern Spaniard and they said I was right. I can just tell and this lady just doesn't look like she's a Catalan. Look at John Casablancas that looks very Catalan.
That lady is an imposter. Not only does she NOT look like a Catalan, she is using Andulucian stereotypes to describe Catalonia. There are Catalan young women (who do indeed look like from there) saying they are vehemently against bullfighting in Catalonia and IT IS NOT PART OF THEIR CULTURE. Bullfighting is banned in Barcelona and seen as cruelty...I called it. She is not fooling me one bit. I know Northern Spaniards. 27:50 ua-cam.com/video/uHAiMfj4IgQ/v-deo.html
I've been living in Barcelona for the past 12 years and I really don't feel like she is describing the same reality, whether it be for dating, open-mindness etc... It is really a biased view on the place and full of prejudices.
There are some young women who do in fact look like they can be from Catalonia and they are saying bullfighting is NOT part of their culture and Catalonia despises it. They have banned it and there is no bullfighting... 27:50 ua-cam.com/video/uHAiMfj4IgQ/v-deo.html
It would be much more interesting to hear the experience of a foreign girl/guy living and dating in Spain rather than vice versa especially when this Spanish girl obviously misses her country and only talks about positive things. Regarding directness of Spaniards, I don't think it's quite true. People here are foxing too and say a lot of things they don't mean, they may pretend to like you while in reality they don't, they may promise a lot, invite you a lot but never show up afterwards, that doesn't look like directness or even if this is a directness it doesn't help if their mood changes every second.
The portuguese have the exact same culture of getting a beer and a coffee after work or meeting with friends outside for dinner. Maybe things have changed in Lisbon with more tourists moving in, but the culture is quite similar to what she is describing.
Having lived a lot of years out of Spain made me realise how greast it is. If we would all live in the same way then there would not be places for all likes. So in the difference is the beauty. Barcelona has become a very insecure city to live.
Other than Money/Career USA has nothing else to offer. It is a horrible place to live, it is shallow there is no meaning other than consumerism and constantly buying the new gadget.
Bro... If Barcelona wasnt open enough for her she just wanted to move to the most left leaning place in Earth. Which is fine but lets not make it as the golden standard how all places need to be.
God that is really sad to hear about Barcelona going down the hole like that. I personally don't want to visit it as a tourist right away. I really am in to genealogy so I have several ancestors that came from Spain to Mexico and I want to visit the places my ancestors lived first. she is right Mexican men are more romantic but also some are such butt heads in their machismo I can't stand that as a Mexican woman. I see it a lot in my own family that is why I know and just in my cultural generally. I think that it was a good experience to say that all the provinces are different with all kinds of culture. Navarre interests me a lot beause it pratically split between Catalans and the Basque.

Happy to hear! Most podcasts are actually majorly about cultures and mentality. That is what drives me to create these 😀
finally someone from Barcelona sharing their experience! it's incredible how it can be so different 🙊❤️
Happy you liked it!

Truth!! And I live in Toronto 😅
Not only North America, East Asia as well, at least South Korea and Japan.
Check out Finland or Sweden

Im a northern spaniard and this is probably the stupidest thing i ve read about us
I loved the video, excellent points of view from her perspective, without generalizing it says a lot about what is and is not in different cultures
Happy you liked it! I loved this episode as well ☺

she's just a supremacist
that chick is suspect. She doesn't even look like a Catalan, nor speak like one who are regional and proud of their unique culture. Is she an actress?
Madrid is also easy to meet people?
Yes
No immigrants in Barcelona? I don’t know what part of Barcelona you are from…

@@asturiasceltic3183People even in 2024 looking for "purity of race"
@@nitishsaxena1372 No honey, I can tell my own family members and gene pool of people.. Can you?

Perdón que no hay emigrantes en Barcelona ? 😂😂

Please elaborate?
I do not think she is a Catalan.

Better to date south American women in Spain because spainish women are very difficult
i would love to see a video on dating in Mecca and Medina
Great conversation

There is no 1 advise for dating simply because it will be more often than not that you meet foreigner than locals who do not go out downtown anymore.
Having lived a lot of years out of Spain made me realise how greast it is. If we would all live in the same way then there would not be places for all likes. So in the difference is the beauty. Barcelona has become a very insecure city to live.
People say so much about themselves in these comments....i enjoyed listening in on this conversation....
The rest of Spain is super conservative and religions. Galicia is even more conservative than Andalucia
So technically spanish men are for fun time not for long term commitment.
Ok understood 👍
Dating in another country is always shocking for Americans.
Other than Money/Career USA has nothing else to offer. It is a horrible place to live, it is shallow there is no meaning other than consumerism and constantly buying the new gadget.
In the major cities 100%
Bro... If Barcelona wasnt open enough for her she just wanted to move to the most left leaning place in Earth. Which is fine but lets not make it as the golden standard how all places need to be.
Exactly my thoughts 😂
another huge generalizations video ...
After she said Barcelona is not liberal and open minded I stopped the video ☠️
She is talking BS
