That's very curious. Do you have any idea as to why that is? I've been to Denmark and I've met a few Danish people in the Netherlands. I've always thought that Dutch people tend to have a lot in common with Danes, but we generally quite like talking to "strangers", well at least foreigners. We don't generally strike up a conversation with other Dutch people we don't know though.
that is the same attitude as we danes have. But I've just been in in amsterdam. People were lovely their. helpful and peaceful. I might actually move to amsterdam some day
Glad you enjoyed your stay in our Capital :) Amsterdam very much has a culture of it's own though. Kind of like Berlin in Germany. So if you're thinking about living in the Netherlands you might want to check out some other cities and talk to some other people. See if you still like the country and the people as a whole. Just a tip. But I think you'll have an easy time fitting in. From the perspective of most other cultures we're kind of like a Scandinavia-light. And we also have a concept like Hygge, which we call gezelligheid.
already been in Berlin. And I think Amsterdam got its own original charm compared to Berlin. Ofcourse Berlin has really amazing things to offer. But there is just something about Amsterdam that is really special!
"Danish culture is all about blending in... get ready to see a lot of dark colours and shapeless clothes". (shows woman with shocking platinum white hair)
Natalie B. Oh but we dont - we just dont start a relationship with someone we are not seksualcompatible with - and we have very modest girls to, and ALOT of ppl not having sex on the first date, or the second.... but very few danes will start holding hands in puplic before having had sex. Holding hands are = relationship in denmark, and adults arent in a relationship before they have had sex. (unless you are a young christian who belive sex and marrige go hand in hand - we got thous too and funny enough they all get married very young - alot of them even youngere then some non christian danes loose there virginty - talking about doing it for the instinct ;) )
Sebastian Paredes Buddy, no one has an issue with him being Peruvian nor does anyone thinks them as being unawesome. The video was silly critique on stereotypes; however, to me, having such a strong/forced approach to getting someone’s attention is cringeworthy. In the culture I grew up in, you’re either drunk/on drugs/have dependency issues if you court that hard. I’m not saying it’s wrong. Not saying it’s right. Just not my normal and also wouldn’t be comfortable with it. Chill.
Sebastian Paredes You don’t need to feel sorry, buddy. Your cultural practices aren’t better or worse than any others. People do as people do. You don’t get to decide what’s best.
Sebastian Paredes I don’t. Also I’m not European. I’m middle eastern by blood- in case the screen name didn’t give you a hint. I don’t think of any culture being better or superior- including my blood line. I enjoy it but I also know other cultures exist and also can be enjoyable too. I’m not hung up on what is right or wrong cuz there really isn’t a thing. Nords can be nice and friendly too. Too bad you just have a shitty attitude.
Definitly not the country I would like to live. As a brasilian woman I had problems to make friends in Germany, it took so long. You feel like you don't fit anywhere. Everybody has a best friend and it's very hard to get into a friendship circle. But in the Scandinavian country it seems to be almost impossible. Life is too short for that 😜
Brazilians are typically considered loud which is something that Northerners are not. There's also stereotypes that because there's crime in Brazil that a Brazilian person could be bad, not saying that's the case hete. But then again, there's also the fact that you speak a different language so I guess that's the biggest problem
@@doxdee you can! I have been in Italy & never felt bad same goes for every Scandinavian country. It is important that you are willing to understand each ones culture & communications & have a strong respect. As long as you have an openly & friendly Aura and show great respect for the culture you are mostly accepted everywhere (bc as a foreigner you are always an interesting person).
@@doxdee I just got done with my first year of bachelor's and I gotta say I've had the opposite effect. Made great danish friends who are some of the most helpful caring and understanding people. All this in Odense which is much less international than Copenhagen. So don't be scared off by comments like these, as long as you have some sort of connection to people like school etc they will happily talk to you. Though be warned bonding usually involved drinking.
This video was pretty accurate for Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. 1 One key factor is that you will have to spend time to become "friends" with people so they let you in to the inner circle otherwise you are a stranger and people do not talk to strangers unless you ask for directions etc. This is not hard it just takes some time. It is a bit more easy to talk to people who are drinking in a bar, or if they are drunk. That is when people become "over the top" friendly. 2 And as a general rule almost everyone does consume alcohol and most people do not care that much about fashion. 3 You will have to get used to the cold during winter in the north, but it is similar to Canada and Russia. 4 Everyone is more or less "laid back" and a lot of people like sports. Sweden and Finland are crazy for Hockey. 5 Everyone understands plain English more or less, it is mostly the old generation that do not understand or speak English. 6 In Finland everyone has a sauna or access to one that is not far away. 7 Equality and independence is high in Nordic region. "Hygge" is also a big part of the region. 8 Sweden has a lot more people with immigration background going back 40 years, at least in the larger city regions. Similar to the immigration wave that USA experienced way back in the day. Think I covered most things touched on in this video or missing.
Hey everyone - I'm thinking of making a very FIRST Q&A video. Please leave any questions you want to ask me here or email them to datingbeyondborders@gmail.com and I will try to answer all! Feel free to ask me about experiences in traveling and filming, thoughts on culture, how I research or cast and plans for the future! PS. Comments like "Make a ________man/woman" video do not qualify so leave them for later.
Good afternoon from the US! I have a question, specifically for you, Marina. You mentioned that you are Russian and you live in Canada. Would you say that you prefer or are more comfortable with the dating culture of Russia or Canada? Maybe neither? Thanks and no pressure to answer if it's too personal! I love all of your videos.
Here in Brazil it is the opposite. if you don't talk to strangers in line at the market or some public place, people will think you're hiding something.
@@ll-y8 Shit, you ever seen the Mediterranean? Dunno where you're from, but people from all MT countries (except France) are taller than Americans and Brits, and the Balkans are on par with Nordic countries heightwise. Also in my experience, hair was never a problem. Feeling funny? Go ahead, but pls don't make me cringe
I feel like Northern European women all act the same. I got the same vibes from Dutch, German, and Swedish women. They are always dressed like hipsters, they can come across as arrogant or cold but they are very straightforward when they like you.
Well the dressing up hipster's for sure... -.- Can't stand it.. Like 80 % of all women in Denmark do that nowadays xD And they expect you to be some university geek with a giant beard, who listens to 60s and 70s classic rock and drinks cognac xD
Ron i live in Denmark but I spend alot of time in Sweden and I think that Swedish girls are way more friendly and Open than Danish girls but otherwise i agree with u
I live in Sweden and yes ppl over here can seem very cold but its mostly because they lack social skills compared to other countries that are more welcoming and warm. They can be very prejudiced in the beginning so some reject you right away and some change their opinion once they speak to you, this mostly applies if you have a foreign look.
Not all women in Denmark are like this, id definitely agree that all nordics dislike talking to strangers, everyone’s a lot more reserved but that doesn’t mean they think they’re better than you or antisocial. It’s more of a mutual understanding that most people when out and about are probably doing something else. If you’re at a bar or something like that you’re more likely to be able to talk to people, just go to places where people are looking for company instead of stopping strangers on the street who’re probably busy 😂😂
Haha this was funny. I hope we get to see the male counterpart, as I have a few male Danish friends and we always muse over the differences in our culture. One thing I've noticed about Danes (and other Scandinavians too) is they have a very different, somewhat darker sense of humor that I love, though sometimes other people won't quite get it, haha.
Sarah, I'm from the States. I'd love to hear some examples on youtube of this dark humor. If you have any suggestions please share. My sense of humor can be pretty dark. People leave wondering if I'm being serious. haha
English guy, married to a Dane for 20 years and seeing another Dane for 7 years before that. Actually there is another kind of Danish woman that is more like the Czech women in your video about them. Fiercely independent, yet very nurturing and protective, classy yet down to earth. They are a rarity, but they are out there and well worth spending a lifetime with.
These videos make nationalities seem like dog breeds, each one has tendencies and you have to find a compatible one for your lifestyle. It's actually funny.
I love that you made one about danes! I'm a danish girl myself, and waow this is so accurate. In busses, danes also always choose to sit on an empty seat for themself, even though they could sit with a stranger and have a talk or something. We only talk to our friend circle (or most do). But if you're a tourist and just like to find your way around in Denmark, I think we're pretty helpful and nice. Also about 80% of out population speaks english. And with the drinking thing: yes, danes drink a lot of beer and other kinds of alcohol, most of us party every week. And on my school it's kinda like a tradition to drink beer :)
Hey Malanie, I'll be moving to Copenhagen next year, could you please tell more about the people and culture there , specifically when it comes to dating? I'm coming from Australia & India , I'm not sure what to expect and what huge cultural differences are there
Only in Kobehavn can I go to the hotel bar, meet someone there, have them take me to the next bar, meet someone else there, have them take me to the next bar, meet someone else there, close out that bar and as the sun rises as they walk me back to my hotel, have them say to me, "....you wanna go grab a six pack from 7-11?"
After watching this, one should ask himself "why dating a Danish woman?" This clip dosn't do justice to Danish women, when I was visiting the country they were really friendly and well mannered. You want to describe them as independent and free women (and they are! ) but you make them appear just as unfriendly and impolite when sober, brave and self confident when drunk. It's a bit out of line.
Me too, in my visit there, everybody that I started conversation with were extremely nice and helpful, it really disgusts me all these hate commentaries... It is really easy for you to judge when you never had the experience yourself, fucking prejudicious people...
I would actually love if a guy is clingy, ofc only if I like him back. That's just shows that he cares, and that he is interested. Yes I'm danish, so I personally think this video is stereotyping
Danish sounds so funny, 20 thousand views in just a couple of days. I'm very glad your channel is getting more and more popular. Keep the hard work! Loved this video.
I know. It was a little surreal. I left my house with 2K views and decided to check the status when I was out and it was at 17K in just a few hours. Thanks for noticing and for the encouragement!
This can apply easily for all Scandinavia, Baltic states and partially Poland. Not my coup of tea after I lived in Sweden for couple years 😅 If you are from a country that I write above then you will like it and pretty much fit in but if you are from south/Eastern Europe and anywhere else you will regret moving to Scandinavia as culture is very cold and boring.
I lived in Poland for 5 years and I had the best time of my life there although the salary was shit but life was amazing, now I am in Sweden and I regret EVERYDAY moving to this shithole. Scandinavians are just fake. Nothing about them is real, their politeness is just fake, their friendship is fake, their claims all fake. The funny fact they pretend to be so open and multi culture bs pisses me off the most. Their girls ONLY and ONLY date their own nationality. These videos are misleading about Scandinavia making it feel like it is so easy to live there and have a happy romance life while in reality you just doom yourself for a good salary into a shithole.
This is Canadian women too. We don't like to talk to strangers, we don't like to be bombarded with PDA, and I think most of us feel the same about bragging. My boyfriend is Mexican (I am Slavic-Canadian) and he understands that we are very different- he loves to shower me with affection, but he knows that I am a little more cold emotionally (his words) and that amount of affection makes me uncomfortable, especially in public. We are able to meet in the middle tho and get what we need from each other :)
fuck yes i love that joke, as unpleasent as it is though... there is even some truth to it... if you have seen the people on dating apps then you will know what i mean
Would love to go to one of those Scandinavian countries, go on a date, and just completely break their social rules and see how the guy reacts. Maybe he'll be forgiving because I'm foreign. That'll be really funny to do.
One of of my biggest regrets was ditching my gorgeous Danish girlfriend, I was 24 at the time though too young to settle down. Danish people in general are fabulous with great family values. I didn't find the women arrogant or distant but I do agree that' they are very sexually open ;)
Thanks, Reiley! For Europe I had to spend a long time casting. I cast these actors before I left but for a few videos I had to cast on the spot. German man is coming really soon!
I'm from Brazil (a country known for its "openmindedness") and we also don't talk to strangers on the street like that as well...it's like...they are people who know each other and wanna update their chat about amenities and general stuff after a long time without meeting each other...an intervention from a stranger in a situation like that in the fountain is not well seen here either, you'll get short answers like "oh, yeah...yeah...true" and the person short answering you will expect you to realize it's time to "retreat"...
Selen Consuela they're two different things in my opinion haha. But it's not that they don't like flirting, they aren't used to it is all. Scandinavian men in general don't flirt or approach strangers, they just stare from a distance lol. Unless they are drunk of course.
+Catherine S Well, of course they are not the same thing, but I just think foreplay with someone you've never flirt would be kinda weird. Like are they that serious during that, too? I've heard that even staring would make you look weird because it's considered rude? Well then what happens when 2 friends like each other? They can't just stare lol
I've always complimented a Danish Woman on her eyes. "You have eyes as Blue as the sea....I honestly cant stop looking at them....they're intoxicating." (^_^) I have black hair with dark brown eyes and I've never had a negative interaction with anyone in Denmark
The most awkward date I've been in my whole life was in Sweden. I'm gay, and I can count on my fingers the words the Swedish guy exchanged with me. We went to a music concert, a coffee shop then his house then to Max burgers, basically the whole day together. But getting to know him was harder as hell and sketching a smile from his face basically impossible. I also remember my Brazilian friend being rejected by his girlfriend when he wanted to hold her hand and hang on her shoulder when we were in the metro. If I was meant to live in Europe probably it wouldn't be in any nordic country. I respect all cultures but I can't fit on it and have a happy life. Love to all!
I love your videos, it seems you always carefully "pick the data" and you get it exactly right. Also for us non-Americans here, could you do a video about dating an American? :)
Thank you Tereza. What a great way to describe it!! Well, I am planning to make a whole series on an American. Americans are quite different depending on which state or city you go to so I figured it would make sense to show each individually
Loved this xD The not talking to strangers, getting to clingy too soon and us not wanting to type all the time is something i can relate to and I LOVED the ending x'D Well done
I am “speaking” to a Danish man, and I am a flirty and extroverted American lass. I am outright and obvious with my intentions, but he is shy and meek. He will “flirt” back sometimes but often it is really awkward. He is also really teasing and it confuses me.
It's the most robotic, anti human, impersonal culture. No wonder they are all on anti depressants. www.businessinsider.com/countries-largest-antidepressant-drug-users-2016-2?op=1 Denmark top 5 globally for antidepressant use.
I too love Scandinavia but I break the "Don't talk to strangers thing as everyone is a stranger....until you become friends." So I talk to everyone and eventually, everyone becomes my friend. :-) American here
@@inorite4553 Are you in copenhagen? Or maybe a small very friendly town? because in those two instances that could work, but in most places it wont (dane here) Maybe you are a beautiful woman, then the likelyhood of it working goes way way up...
Thanks!! Agh.. Unfortunately I already left Europe and had no budget or time to go to Sweden this time around..Let's hope I can film another one there soon
Plz no. They just did already something about dutch guys. A women version would be tad redundant innit? Would rather see something about norway or italy. And tbh, dutch arent THAT intresting.
Hmmmmmmmm, We are not so cold plus in Holland the ppl are so friendly and can help anyone anytime. But this one is too cold for us brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
3:32 - 4:00. The Danish-friendly version of that story would have been: "I made a software company with one of my friends in order to make a new algorithm. It worked out, and after that I decided I wanted to travel and see Denmark. And now I'm here."
Not all ethnic swedes are blond and blue eyed. Some of us, like me, have dark brown hair and brown eyes. It's true that I pulled the absolute darkest features from all my ancestors, but still. It's not really that uncommon.
Well, even with common friends they need to be fairly drunk (that's why you need to wait for the weekend), and you should be taller than 180 cm. Danish girls are obsessed with height to a ridiculous level. I don't find the clingy part true, I'm Italian and live in Denmark and Italians are much less physical (maybe not your friends, but a girl you date may easily take at least 2-3 dates before you can try physical contact whereas Danish girls hug more, generally). Also the status thing is not true, especially in Copenhagen where the video is shot. 90% of conversations are about jobs, paychecks, housing (classic probing questions to know which neighbourhood you live in), number of countries travelled, and ways to become a CEO. In general, I would say: You know you're dating a Dane when you have to check for chlamydia regularly... That's a real problem
@Papa Kim The chlamydia? Yes. Denmark has been in the top 2 for years for relative number of infections (number of positive cases compared to the population) in Europe. All Scandinavian countries and England show crazy numbers but in relative terms Denmark and Iceland are the worst. I personally know a girl who got it from a guy and she didn't even know which guy because she was dating several guys at the same time. I also know a girl who got chlamidya multiple times... And she's a nurse. Just to give you a feeling of how many Danes deal with diseases, right now, in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, they still date strangers through tinder. I even know a girl who is a swinger and she has different meetings every week all around Copenhagen. A girl living in the same hallway where I live has a different guy over for the night every day. We're talking about unprotected intercourse obviously...
@@ichbinhier355 I guess it's the Copenhagen vibe. Out of the 4 girls I listed only 2 were friends. With another one I shared the kitchen in my student dorm and the other is a friend of a friend. Nevertheless all of my female Danish friends (not so many, but still) got chlamydia at some point in their life. In a country that's so free as Denmark (which is very good from some points of view and I love Denmark for that) it's fair that you can date many people and have sex with whoever you want/can, but the thing is that they talk about getting chlamydia like it's a normal thing, like a seasonal fever.
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 Dude that is actually repulsive, wtf. Why do Northern European women (and men) not see any issue with their behaviour in this regard!? And totally agree about the height thing. I haven't been to Denmark but been to Iceland, Sweden and Norway and all the guys there focus on height (and the guy's job) above all; his values / personality don't matter so much, at least not for 'dating' (aka just hooking up). It's not great, IMO. But I actually can't believe about the chlamydia during a pandemic though. Christ, that is just something else XD.
I feel like we Dutchies are like soooo similar to Scandinavian people in going about life. We're honest, don't like strangers and are quite openminded. I think we're most similar to Danish people, since everyone rides bikes and the country is generally flat. Also, we both get mistaken for being from another country or people don't even know our countries.
Danes can be mind boggling to understand. The men are easier to understand. The women are confusing as hell. Once, a woman was hitting on me by insulting my physical form, telling me I had no muscles. I wasn't interested in her anyway but she really nailed that coffin. Oddly, after her comments, she really accelerated in trying to hit on me and I didn't realise until the it was REALLY obvious that she wanted sex.
Either you are bad at reading cheekiness or that woman was simply clumsy as fuck. And you're definitely not from the British Isles cause men there love banter and self-deprecation.
😂😂😂is there self esteem issue with scandinavian men? So that women there think any men will get off like them by being treated like sh*t? Worst culture after middle east👎🏻
@@kellemese6252 Criticism and insulting someone is one of the worst things you can do when making a move on someone. If I say "you're nose is huge", how exactly is the other person meant to feel turned on?
I showed this to my bf and he said a few things were inaccurate like being affectionate. He said lots of Danes show affectionate to their parents in public even old people
Fer Tosqui 1. are cold, 2. you need to pay your own bill, 3. just want to work and make Money, 4. they are very exact with times, 5. they like beer.. :D your welcome
What??? Three weeks! Do you wanna kill me with anxiety, can wait that long! Any chance you might change your plans and post it earlier? Just kidding! Love your vids!
As a danish woman in a relationship with a Latin American man I can CONFIRM many of these stereotypes, although I would like to shed a more POSITIVE light on some of them :-D 1. Danish people in general are not super good at small talking especially not with other Danes. We will always be polite to strangers but in general hold more back as to not be intrusive of peoples private space. The best way to get to know people are to be in situations meant for people getting to know each other. Unfortunately that includes bars a lot of the time, but any social gatherings will do with and without alcohol. For foreigners its a bit different though, as Danes LOVE to get to use their hard-studied English in daily life. So for most parts, if you're a foreigner you already have a freepass for chatting up locals :-) 2. The danish dating culture is close to NON-EXISTENT in traditional forms. This is tricky even for Danes, as is not common to go on dates and be forward about it. What we do is get to know each other in casual settings BEFORE deciding to move on to a dating phase, which can be confusing to foreigners (and Danes). The friends zone is not a bad thing here, its almost step one for dating a dane! But BECAUSE its such a process to enter a relationsship, its not uncommon for Danes' first relationsship to even last years! Unlike a more (stereotypical) superficial dating culture you will see in the US, where people describe themselves as dating when merely getting to know each other and have a lot of short term relationships, its the total contrast in Denmark. Once you are IN you are in for the long-run. And sex is not a tabu, neither casual or as part of getting to know each other ;) Once you are in a relationsship with a danish woman she will make feel loved like no-one else. Trust and straight forward communication is key, as is affection and HYGGE. For all Danes some of these stereotypes will be dead on and others completely wrong, like all people from everywhere. Dont get put off by some of these seemingly 'cold' features in Danes as all of them have their positive counter feature. Good luck with hyggen!
If these cultural "samples" are halfway or generally true, then I say I will nail these dating rules haha. As an introvert with cat-like social skills and demeanor, I will fit right in. Now two introverts meeting and socializing (and soon dating) is a different story..
In this culture, public signs of affection (when not drunk) are usually signs of a relationship or romantic feelings. Sex on the other hand, is just sex and can be completely separate.
Vinicius Arzon Not sure, might go hand in hand with not being a religious country. Sex is not considered a big deal. Walking hand in hand can be a big deal though because it can signal that you are committed to being something more like boyfriend/girlfriend (or boyfriend/boyfriend etc) rather than just being friends with benefits.
I like Scandinavian women (mostly because of the contrast in appearance, blonde and fair skin is a turn-on for me, the Greek with the wheatish complexion and black hair), but their mentality is so different than ours, it would be really challenging to approach them, let alone start a relationship with them. Being so cold and keeping distance is rather strange and confusing for us down here.
Germans no. The stranger thing is kind of true but public affection is super common in Germany. People would hold hands and kiss in public after a first date.
Same man. Honestly, I know that sex in that context is just sex, but I can't have respect or see dating / relationship material in a woman who is happy to invite a dude she just met back to her place for sex after the first date. And same goes for men too! If a guy is just out to play the field and trying to get into a woman's pants after the first date, that is indicative of his values and his approach to relationships. I much prefer the South Europe / Easter Europe approach where people are warm and friendly, women are sensual and down-to-earth, but they don't put out until they know you're legit. You have to demonstrate your value to them, and then it makes it all the more worth it when you finally get intimate.
''danes does not like to talk to strangers'' - this goes for every scandinavian country.
Yea. The majority of danish people don't like it at all. But personally I don't have a problem with.
That's very curious. Do you have any idea as to why that is? I've been to Denmark and I've met a few Danish people in the Netherlands. I've always thought that Dutch people tend to have a lot in common with Danes, but we generally quite like talking to "strangers", well at least foreigners. We don't generally strike up a conversation with other Dutch people we don't know though.
that is the same attitude as we danes have. But I've just been in in amsterdam. People were lovely their. helpful and peaceful. I might actually move to amsterdam some day
Glad you enjoyed your stay in our Capital :) Amsterdam very much has a culture of it's own though. Kind of like Berlin in Germany. So if you're thinking about living in the Netherlands you might want to check out some other cities and talk to some other people. See if you still like the country and the people as a whole. Just a tip. But I think you'll have an easy time fitting in. From the perspective of most other cultures we're kind of like a Scandinavia-light. And we also have a concept like Hygge, which we call gezelligheid.
already been in Berlin. And I think Amsterdam got its own original charm compared to Berlin. Ofcourse Berlin has really amazing things to offer. But there is just something about Amsterdam that is really special!
I think this should be called “You’ll never know when you’re dating a Danish woman”
Hi Bim

"Danish culture is all about blending in... get ready to see a lot of dark colours and shapeless clothes".

but why not
Holding hands a very public and stats relationship - sex is privat ;)

Sebastian Paredes Buddy, no one has an issue with him being Peruvian nor does anyone thinks them as being unawesome. The video was silly critique on stereotypes; however, to me, having such a strong/forced approach to getting someone’s attention is cringeworthy. In the culture I grew up in, you’re either drunk/on drugs/have dependency issues if you court that hard.
I’m not saying it’s wrong. Not saying it’s right. Just not my normal and also wouldn’t be comfortable with it.
Chill.
Sebastian Paredes You don’t need to feel sorry, buddy. Your cultural practices aren’t better or worse than any others. People do as people do. You don’t get to decide what’s best.
Sebastian Paredes Cool story bro.
Sebastian Paredes I don’t. Also I’m not European. I’m middle eastern by blood- in case the screen name didn’t give you a hint. I don’t think of any culture being better or superior- including my blood line. I enjoy it but I also know other cultures exist and also can be enjoyable too. I’m not hung up on what is right or wrong cuz there really isn’t a thing. Nords can be nice and friendly too.
Too bad you just have a shitty attitude.
Definitly not the country I would like to live. As a brasilian woman I had problems to make friends in Germany, it took so long. You feel like you don't fit anywhere. Everybody has a best friend and it's very hard to get into a friendship circle. But in the Scandinavian country it seems to be almost impossible. Life is too short for that 😜
Guys work differently than girls and Danish guys really like South-Americans. Only they may be weird in the approach because not used to socialize
Brazilians are typically considered loud which is something that Northerners are not. There's also stereotypes that because there's crime in Brazil that a Brazilian person could be bad, not saying that's the case hete. But then again, there's also the fact that you speak a different language so I guess that's the biggest problem
@Crzr-97 daaaaang bro. OK then. LOL
All Danish men I've met were perverts so I'd confirm that.
You are very correct. Viva Brasil
if you act like that guy when dating girls from every culture, you're going to get rejected.
@Carlos Soto true😉

I lived in Denmark for 12 years. Impossible to make friends when you're a foreigner. You have always this feeling, you don't fit in.
For me it's the same in Italy.
Same for me in France 😂😂
12 years!! I was thinking about doing a 2 years master there but I would like to get to know the locals. Kinda disappointing
@@doxdee you can! I have been in Italy & never felt bad same goes for every Scandinavian country. It is important that you are willing to understand each ones culture & communications & have a strong respect. As long as you have an openly & friendly Aura and show great respect for the culture you are mostly accepted everywhere (bc as a foreigner you are always an interesting person).
@@doxdee I just got done with my first year of bachelor's and I gotta say I've had the opposite effect. Made great danish friends who are some of the most helpful caring and understanding people. All this in Odense which is much less international than Copenhagen. So don't be scared off by comments like these, as long as you have some sort of connection to people like school etc they will happily talk to you. Though be warned bonding usually involved drinking.
so its basically like having a cat...
dont touch the cat but if mood swings cat can sit on your head...

YES. Mind you, she will probably have more than three cats herself too... be warned.

This video was pretty accurate for Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
1 One key factor is that you will have to spend time to become "friends" with people so they let you in to the inner circle otherwise you are a stranger and people do not talk to strangers unless you ask for directions etc. This is not hard it just takes some time. It is a bit more easy to talk to people who are drinking in a bar, or if they are drunk. That is when people become "over the top" friendly.
2 And as a general rule almost everyone does consume alcohol and most people do not care that much about fashion.
3 You will have to get used to the cold during winter in the north, but it is similar to Canada and Russia.
4 Everyone is more or less "laid back" and a lot of people like sports. Sweden and Finland are crazy for Hockey.
5 Everyone understands plain English more or less, it is mostly the old generation that do not understand or speak English.
6 In Finland everyone has a sauna or access to one that is not far away.
7 Equality and independence is high in Nordic region. "Hygge" is also a big part of the region.
8 Sweden has a lot more people with immigration background going back 40 years, at least in the larger city regions. Similar to the immigration wave that USA experienced way back in the day.
Think I covered most things touched on in this video or missing.
Thx. That helped me understand Nordic countries more
It's also very accurate for The Netherlands as well.

Feeling funny? Go ahead, but pls don't make me cringe
I agree dude would never EVER date a Danish if they are like this. Give me a warm loving girl.
I feel like Northern European women all act the same. I got the same vibes from Dutch, German, and Swedish women. They are always dressed like hipsters, they can come across as arrogant or cold but they are very straightforward when they like you.
You are on to something for sure.
Well the dressing up hipster's for sure... -.- Can't stand it.. Like 80 % of all women in Denmark do that nowadays xD And they expect you to be some university geek with a giant beard, who listens to 60s and 70s classic rock and drinks cognac xD
Ron i live in Denmark but I spend alot of time in Sweden and I think that Swedish girls are way more friendly and Open than Danish girls but otherwise i agree with u
I live in Sweden and yes ppl over here can seem very cold but its mostly because they lack social skills compared to other countries that are more welcoming and warm. They can be very prejudiced in the beginning so some reject you right away and some change their opinion once they speak to you, this mostly applies if you have a foreign look.
Hendo oh Thats right Sweden loves foreigners
As a Norwegian living in Oslo I love the older look of Copenhagen I also like the futuristic look of Oslo but it also has its historical places.
The girl in the thumbnail looks 20 and 70 at the same time.
That's also a thing i noticed with danish girls. They look so mature. Plenty of 18 yearolds look like they're almost 30.
@30 is still young
so the rule of thumb for Danes is to just get them drunk?
Stephen Fapsalot Yep :)
If u Wanna get a Danish girl drunk u have to spend alot of money cause Danish girls drinks as much as the men and we drink alot :)
Pretty much yea.. But as kingsley kazooie said.. Bring your bank vault with you xD
I have the feeling that they will get you drunk faster
Princess Wolfie how old r u
Not all women in Denmark are like this, id definitely agree that all nordics dislike talking to strangers, everyone’s a lot more reserved but that doesn’t mean they think they’re better than you or antisocial. It’s more of a mutual understanding that most people when out and about are probably doing something else. If you’re at a bar or something like that you’re more likely to be able to talk to people, just go to places where people are looking for company instead of stopping strangers on the street who’re probably busy 😂😂
Haha this was funny. I hope we get to see the male counterpart, as I have a few male Danish friends and we always muse over the differences in our culture. One thing I've noticed about Danes (and other Scandinavians too) is they have a very different, somewhat darker sense of humor that I love, though sometimes other people won't quite get it, haha.
Many people don’t get the Danish humor. People just look at us like we are psycho. Ahaha.
Sarah, I'm from the States. I'd love to hear some examples on youtube of this dark humor. If you have any suggestions please share. My sense of humor can be pretty dark. People leave wondering if I'm being serious. haha
English guy, married to a Dane for 20 years and seeing another Dane for 7 years before that.
Actually there is another kind of Danish woman that is more like the Czech women in your video about them. Fiercely independent, yet very nurturing and protective, classy yet down to earth. They are a rarity, but they are out there and well worth spending a lifetime with.
These videos make nationalities seem like dog breeds, each one has tendencies and you have to find a compatible one for your lifestyle.
It's actually funny.
And in some cases, thats true.
I LOVE scandinavia.
Truth hurts sensitive hearts hahaha
I love that you made one about danes! I'm a danish girl myself, and waow this is so accurate.
In busses, danes also always choose to sit on an empty seat for themself, even though they could sit with a stranger and have a talk or something. We only talk to our friend circle (or most do).
But if you're a tourist and just like to find your way around in Denmark, I think we're pretty helpful and nice. Also about 80% of out population speaks english.
And with the drinking thing: yes, danes drink a lot of beer and other kinds of alcohol, most of us party every week. And on my school it's kinda like a tradition to drink beer :)
Hey Malanie, I'll be moving to Copenhagen next year, could you please tell more about the people and culture there , specifically when it comes to dating? I'm coming from Australia & India , I'm not sure what to expect and what huge cultural differences are there
Only in Kobehavn can I go to the hotel bar, meet someone there, have them take me to the next bar, meet someone else there, have them take me to the next bar, meet someone else there, close out that bar and as the sun rises as they walk me back to my hotel, have them say to me,
"....you wanna go grab a six pack from 7-11?"
After watching this, one should ask himself "why dating a Danish woman?" This clip dosn't do justice to Danish women, when I was visiting the country they were really friendly and well mannered. You want to describe them as independent and free women (and they are! ) but you make them appear just as unfriendly and impolite when sober, brave and self confident when drunk. It's a bit out of line.
Agree, this video was weird to watch
Motivator29 THANK YOU!!!!!
Motivator29 yea but it's not a problem we like to drink ;)
Me too, in my visit there, everybody that I started conversation with were extremely nice and helpful, it really disgusts me all these hate commentaries... It is really easy for you to judge when you never had the experience yourself, fucking prejudicious people...
Motivator29 yes, thank you! I feel really bad being viewed as all these things in this video, being a Danish woman..:/
Dane here: this is all true. Just get her drunk, then everyone is a friend. Why do you think we drink so often?
Because you are alcholists. But you make only true Friends, not become Friends to everybody.
smadge100. It’s not about getting a personality it’s about opening up
I think i should befriend a Dane!
I might have been joking a bit. We do irony and selfdeprecating humor a lot....
You make friends through alcohol?
I would actually love if a guy is clingy, ofc only if I like him back. That's just shows that he cares, and that he is interested. Yes I'm danish, so I personally think this video is stereotyping
would you like it with someone you've just met?
Ramhams1337 That depends on a lot of things
Anne Sofie Merkistein so if the right "things" are met you wouldn't mind someone overly clingy that you just met?

My opinion about this video: Danish womans are boring.
Danish sounds so funny, 20 thousand views in just a couple of days. I'm very glad your channel is getting more and more popular. Keep the hard work! Loved this video.

@@DatingBeyondBorders1.2 mil now 😮
This can apply easily for all Scandinavia, Baltic states and partially Poland. Not my coup of tea after I lived in Sweden for couple years 😅 If you are from a country that I write above then you will like it and pretty much fit in but if you are from south/Eastern Europe and anywhere else you will regret moving to Scandinavia as culture is very cold and boring.
I lived in Poland for 5 years and I had the best time of my life there although the salary was shit but life was amazing, now I am in Sweden and I regret EVERYDAY moving to this shithole. Scandinavians are just fake. Nothing about them is real, their politeness is just fake, their friendship is fake, their claims all fake. The funny fact they pretend to be so open and multi culture bs pisses me off the most. Their girls ONLY and ONLY date their own nationality. These videos are misleading about Scandinavia making it feel like it is so easy to live there and have a happy romance life while in reality you just doom yourself for a good salary into a shithole.
Not worth for a Mexican to search for love there, then?
This is Canadian women too. We don't like to talk to strangers, we don't like to be bombarded with PDA, and I think most of us feel the same about bragging. My boyfriend is Mexican (I am Slavic-Canadian) and he understands that we are very different- he loves to shower me with affection, but he knows that I am a little more cold emotionally (his words) and that amount of affection makes me uncomfortable, especially in public. We are able to meet in the middle tho and get what we need from each other :)
Are Slavic women never soft and loving then?

One of of my biggest regrets was ditching my gorgeous Danish girlfriend, I was 24 at the time though too young to settle down. Danish people in general are fabulous with great family values. I didn't find the women arrogant or distant but I do agree that' they are very sexually open ;)

How are you I'm from Brazil
I'm from Brazil (a country known for its "openmindedness") and we also don't talk to strangers on the street like that as well...it's like...they are people who know each other and wanna update their chat about amenities and general stuff after a long time without meeting each other...an intervention from a stranger in a situation like that in the fountain is not well seen here either, you'll get short answers like "oh, yeah...yeah...true" and the person short answering you will expect you to realize it's time to "retreat"...
Please do danish guys too ❤
Done
Danish girl loll
I don't understand how sex happens without flirtation *.* Is it like that in other Scandinavian countries? Or let's say Nordic?
It depends, but yeah, I'd say.
Selen Consuela foreplay maybe
Catherine S then i don't understand how someone who doesn't like flirting foreplays :')
Selen Consuela they're two different things in my opinion haha. But it's not that they don't like flirting, they aren't used to it is all. Scandinavian men in general don't flirt or approach strangers, they just stare from a distance lol. Unless they are drunk of course.
+Catherine S Well, of course they are not the same thing, but I just think foreplay with someone you've never flirt would be kinda weird. Like are they that serious during that, too? I've heard that even staring would make you look weird because it's considered rude? Well then what happens when 2 friends like each other? They can't just stare lol
To each their own, but I don't think it's correct to mix "being independent" with "don't text me or attempt to see me until the weekend"
4:00 That actually applies to everybody in every country, literally, to everybody.
As a Danish girl I relate to this. But i would never have sex with someone that I don't have a relationship with.

I've always complimented a Danish Woman on her eyes.
"You have eyes as Blue as the sea....I honestly cant stop looking at them....they're intoxicating." (^_^)
I have black hair with dark brown eyes and I've never had a negative interaction with anyone in Denmark
The most awkward date I've been in my whole life was in Sweden. I'm gay, and I can count on my fingers the words the Swedish guy exchanged with me. We went to a music concert, a coffee shop then his house then to Max burgers, basically the whole day together. But getting to know him was harder as hell and sketching a smile from his face basically impossible.
I also remember my Brazilian friend being rejected by his girlfriend when he wanted to hold her hand and hang on her shoulder when we were in the metro.
If I was meant to live in Europe probably it wouldn't be in any nordic country. I respect all cultures but I can't fit on it and have a happy life.
Love to all!
I love your videos, it seems you always carefully "pick the data" and you get it exactly right. Also for us non-Americans here, could you do a video about dating an American? :)
Thank you Tereza. What a great way to describe it!! Well, I am planning to make a whole series on an American. Americans are quite different depending on which state or city you go to so I figured it would make sense to show each individually

I am “speaking” to a Danish man, and I am a flirty and extroverted American lass. I am outright and obvious with my intentions, but he is shy and meek. He will “flirt” back sometimes but often it is really awkward. He is also really teasing and it confuses me.
I love Scandinavian culture. No hang-ups at all, don’t talk to strangers, equality, and they don’t draw attention to themselves.
It's the most robotic, anti human, impersonal culture. No wonder they are all on anti depressants.

The Danish version is better
This is also so accurate when dating a Finnish woman
I am a swede and I can confirm that this is the way we Scandinavians generally act lololololol almost too accurate
You dont look Swede,you look like Chile or something
Not all ethnic swedes are blond and blue eyed. Some of us, like me, have dark brown hair and brown eyes. It's true that I pulled the absolute darkest features from all my ancestors, but still.
It's not really that uncommon.
maybe you are adopted
Scandinavians are all emotionally constipated and anal retentive idiots
No, not adopted. As genetically swedish as you can get.
"I just have to finish my beer", she said. It must be very important for you :)
Well, even with common friends they need to be fairly drunk (that's why you need to wait for the weekend), and you should be taller than 180 cm. Danish girls are obsessed with height to a ridiculous level.
I don't find the clingy part true, I'm Italian and live in Denmark and Italians are much less physical (maybe not your friends, but a girl you date may easily take at least 2-3 dates before you can try physical contact whereas Danish girls hug more, generally).
Also the status thing is not true, especially in Copenhagen where the video is shot. 90% of conversations are about jobs, paychecks, housing (classic probing questions to know which neighbourhood you live in), number of countries travelled, and ways to become a CEO.
In general, I would say: You know you're dating a Dane when you have to check for chlamydia regularly... That's a real problem
the last part was really funny lolol
@Papa Kim The chlamydia? Yes. Denmark has been in the top 2 for years for relative number of infections (number of positive cases compared to the population) in Europe. All Scandinavian countries and England show crazy numbers but in relative terms Denmark and Iceland are the worst. I personally know a girl who got it from a guy and she didn't even know which guy because she was dating several guys at the same time. I also know a girl who got chlamidya multiple times... And she's a nurse.
Just to give you a feeling of how many Danes deal with diseases, right now, in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, they still date strangers through tinder. I even know a girl who is a swinger and she has different meetings every week all around Copenhagen. A girl living in the same hallway where I live has a different guy over for the night every day.
We're talking about unprotected intercourse obviously...
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 bro, that is kinda scary 😅 but how do you know so many girls like that? 🤔😂
@@ichbinhier355 I guess it's the Copenhagen vibe.
Out of the 4 girls I listed only 2 were friends.
With another one I shared the kitchen in my student dorm and the other is a friend of a friend. Nevertheless all of my female Danish friends (not so many, but still) got chlamydia at some point in their life. In a country that's so free as Denmark (which is very good from some points of view and I love Denmark for that) it's fair that you can date many people and have sex with whoever you want/can, but the thing is that they talk about getting chlamydia like it's a normal thing, like a seasonal fever.
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 Dude that is actually repulsive, wtf. Why do Northern European women (and men) not see any issue with their behaviour in this regard!? And totally agree about the height thing. I haven't been to Denmark but been to Iceland, Sweden and Norway and all the guys there focus on height (and the guy's job) above all; his values / personality don't matter so much, at least not for 'dating' (aka just hooking up). It's not great, IMO. But I actually can't believe about the chlamydia during a pandemic though. Christ, that is just something else XD.
Great funny vid. Could you guys do a vid about dating a Welshman?:)

I feel like we Dutchies are like soooo similar to Scandinavian people in going about life. We're honest, don't like strangers and are quite openminded. I think we're most similar to Danish people, since everyone rides bikes and the country is generally flat. Also, we both get mistaken for being from another country or people don't even know our countries.

+RepBenjaminTile Reptile I'm like how they have a population?
Coz back in the day, was it really normal to alk like that, but now, it's over xD That,s why i do not want a Danish gf ^w^
Population is actually falling for native danes, only immigration is really making it grow.
Helper wow sad.
Danes can be mind boggling to understand. The men are easier to understand.
The women are confusing as hell. Once, a woman was hitting on me by insulting my physical form, telling me I had no muscles.
I wasn't interested in her anyway but she really nailed that coffin. Oddly, after her comments, she really accelerated in trying to hit on me and I didn't realise until the it was REALLY obvious that she wanted sex.
Amadeus190890 why is it an insult to tell you that you have no muscles? It is called critics
Either you are bad at reading cheekiness or that woman was simply clumsy as fuck. And you're definitely not from the British Isles cause men there love banter and self-deprecation.

WOW it looks gorgeous out there in Denmark Copenhagen! Beautiful scenery...on all fronts LOL.
As a danish woman in a relationship with a Latin American man I can CONFIRM many of these stereotypes, although I would like to shed a more POSITIVE light on some of them :-D
1. Danish people in general are not super good at small talking especially not with other Danes. We will always be polite to strangers but in general hold more back as to not be intrusive of peoples private space.
The best way to get to know people are to be in situations meant for people getting to know each other. Unfortunately that includes bars a lot of the time, but any social gatherings will do with and without alcohol.
For foreigners its a bit different though, as Danes LOVE to get to use their hard-studied English in daily life. So for most parts, if you're a foreigner you already have a freepass for chatting up locals :-)
2. The danish dating culture is close to NON-EXISTENT in traditional forms. This is tricky even for Danes, as is not common to go on dates and be forward about it.
What we do is get to know each other in casual settings BEFORE deciding to move on to a dating phase, which can be confusing to foreigners (and Danes). The friends zone is not a bad thing here, its almost step one for dating a dane!
But BECAUSE its such a process to enter a relationsship, its not uncommon for Danes' first relationsship to even last years!
Unlike a more (stereotypical) superficial dating culture you will see in the US, where people describe themselves as dating when merely getting to know each other and have a lot of short term relationships, its the total contrast in Denmark. Once you are IN you are in for the long-run.
And sex is not a tabu, neither casual or as part of getting to know each other ;)
Once you are in a relationsship with a danish woman she will make feel loved like no-one else. Trust and straight forward communication is key, as is affection and HYGGE.
For all Danes some of these stereotypes will be dead on and others completely wrong, like all people from everywhere.
Dont get put off by some of these seemingly 'cold' features in Danes as all of them have their positive counter feature.
Good luck with hyggen!
If these cultural "samples" are halfway or generally true, then I say I will nail these dating rules haha. As an introvert with cat-like social skills and demeanor, I will fit right in.
Now two introverts meeting and socializing (and soon dating) is a different story..
That guys reaction when she said let's go back to my place. Lol
i have been dating a danish girl, they are really nice 100% i love them
What about Danish men?? I need info lol
Don't. Just joking ;)
I wish I had time to film it there but only could do Danish women. Hopefully I can go to Scandinavia and film the rest soon!
Tall and handsome
They are pussies
losers with no spine. cannot f without alcohol.
WHERE IS YOU KNOW YOU’RE DATING A SWEDISH WOMAN WHEN
2 Kebaps and Hygge sounds like my perfect evening! 😀
It look so different to me! You can not touch, but in the end of the night, you can have just have sex. HOW ? lol
Yeah, me too, I find it very contradictive!
In this culture, public signs of affection (when not drunk) are usually signs of a relationship or romantic feelings. Sex on the other hand, is just sex and can be completely separate.
StillRooney sure pal, how come?
Vinicius Arzon Not sure, might go hand in hand with not being a religious country. Sex is not considered a big deal. Walking hand in hand can be a big deal though because it can signal that you are committed to being something more like boyfriend/girlfriend (or boyfriend/boyfriend etc) rather than just being friends with benefits.
Probably after sex next day, the girl acted like a stranger to that man again.
If that's her natural hair colour that's really beautiful.
I like Scandinavian women (mostly because of the contrast in appearance, blonde and fair skin is a turn-on for me, the Greek with the wheatish complexion and black hair), but their mentality is so different than ours, it would be really challenging to approach them, let alone start a relationship with them. Being so cold and keeping distance is rather strange and confusing for us down here.
Its like he's dating with his grandmother.
That is when he said "You have this Old Soul about you!" 🤣
Hmmmm, True but this also applies to the Germans & Other Scandinavian countries.
Germans no. The stranger thing is kind of true but public affection is super common in Germany. People would hold hands and kiss in public after a first date.
niamh- erin. They’d do that too here in Denmark LoL
I should have seen this guide before I tried going for it...
I’m basically a Danish woman.
And I’m not even a woman or Danish. 💁♂️
Lol me too,though Danish born but a Danish woman inside.
I'm sorry, I like the conservative approach to starting a relationship, but even as a guy, physical intimacy that soon is not my deal.
Yeah exactly. It feels shallow and emotionless and cold at the same time. Really not into it.
She's waited for the weekend though...
Same man. Honestly, I know that sex in that context is just sex, but I can't have respect or see dating / relationship material in a woman who is happy to invite a dude she just met back to her place for sex after the first date. And same goes for men too! If a guy is just out to play the field and trying to get into a woman's pants after the first date, that is indicative of his values and his approach to relationships. I much prefer the South Europe / Easter Europe approach where people are warm and friendly, women are sensual and down-to-earth, but they don't put out until they know you're legit. You have to demonstrate your value to them, and then it makes it all the more worth it when you finally get intimate.
idk if I will be able to respect a woman who gives herself away for sex so easily n so soon, let alone love.
Exactly! She's been banged a lot if she's that quick to sleep with a guy! Her favorite song is probably "Norwegian Wood".
The guy who is dating the Danish girl looks very familiar. Looks like one of the tourguides in Copenhagen.
I love how the video is about dating Danish women and there was no real dating😂😂
honestly, this video just made me cringe.
same here
Same
Same, I'm more convinced that nords are boring as fuck
@4:00 it's called "jantelagen", it's across Scandinavia
Yes, and basically it's about inferiority complexes.
A relationship with some free space! Hell yeah! So sick of choking each other in feelings. Live and let live. You hooked me!
