In my experience, swedes don’t tend to do the casual dating the way they do in the US. We don’t really date for the sake of it, but rather because we want to get to know that particular person. I also feel like the whole pressure of being in a relationship is a lot less here than in other places, hence when we meet someone it is usually because we like them as a person, and not just because we want a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Seems like the guys like the way things are for the most part but it seems like the women are open to more “traditional” things like the man asking out and paying for dinner or paying for a drink. Interesting 🤔

Love the Scandinavian dating videos, this is so interesting.

I live in Sweden and swedes are generally well intentioned , I am sure they would invite but when you go out with your friends and drinks cost minimum 15 euros it puts the mood down and forces to split a bit Problem is that the high cost of living for leisure kind of ruins the party mood, and if you invite people éventually will give it back to you so it is about to show that we can have a more convivial approach and then Swedes are hooked 🤗

Sooo the women would like to be asked out ... but no one does it?

Great format easy to watch!

One thing that has to be added is that dating doesn't necessarily need to be a thing here.... Sure, of course, people are dating, we have dating apps, even hookup culture etc. But most people I know just met their partners through school, work, friends or at a party. That initial spark tends to happen naturally and organically in settings like those. An important aspect for a lot of Swedes (I think) is to feel a meaningful and emotional connection with another person. Dating, at least to me feels much more like an imported "American concept" that turns love into a commodity where there is a big focus on consuming goods and services and where it is implied that men should "show off" to swoon girls. I think most Swedes just like a more natural settings. The biggest cultural difference I can come to think of is that there isn't a large divide between genders. A friend of mine threw a big birthday get-together just a week ago, and we were basically just a big group of mixed adults ranging from 25-45 year olds, everyone was interacting with one another in a very mixed setting, gender, age or sexual orientation didn't really matter, and people mingled around quite organically. Something that objectively felt quite unique compared to what I have witnessed when traveling abroad (where people tend to group up in guy groups and girl groups)

Enjoying the Swedish content. Keep it coming !!!

This is what I'm hearing. Swedish women want some traditional traits from men without being traditional women themselves. The men are more feminine and don't question certain aspects of roles. My question would be if they were asleep and they heard a thump in the middle of night that sounded like someone was in their house, then who's going to go check on it? The woman or the man? Who's carrying the heavier items in the house?

Hi Marina! I love your channel and wanted to ask, are you planning on making anymore you know you are dating videos? They are the best, and I would love to see a video about dating a New Zealand man and woman. Have an incredible day and can’t wait to see more videos!
