Hey everyone! This video is an oldie, filmed before the recent events in Iran. As it was edited months ago, I wasn't able to put a disclaimer on it, but keep this in mind when watching. 🤓

It would also be great if you could please use our real flag next time. We only embrace the lion and sun flag and not the flag of the oppressors that are holding our country hostage.

"It can be in one or two months" lol , the reaction of the Argentina man is so funny , the scene after this scene as well 😂

[@amiquigonzales7917]

He's very expressive, well Latin Americans are, and openly talking about his feelings. It's fine, we do prefer that, of course if a man acts like a genleman he will always treat the lady with consideration. Catholic Latin America, especially women, will prefer to wait some time, really trying to get to know the other person BEFORE having sex with someone they just met. It may be dangerous and we ARE NOT sex toys. We care about feelings and respect.

I am both from Africa and the Caribbean and my wife is Ukrainian. I can confirm that it took me 3 months waiting until I french kissed her. You have to be extremely veryyyyyy patient because girls in Ukraine test you thoroughly until they can trust you. I nearly gave up the whole thing but it was worth the wait. Now is all over me!!! I even try to run away at times!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rodrigoandrade256]

I am Brazilian, and in here we can be more forward about things or more conservative, it depends. 1. Usually a man will pay for the first date, but the more dates you have the more likely it is for the girl to offer to split or even pay herself. With younger people it's not uncommon for the girl to share the expenses even on the first date. Personally, I'll always expect to pay but if they ask to split I'll see it as a nice gesture (although not required). 2. We definitely kiss on the first date. It can be at the end of it or during it, but we do. It'd be seen as a date gone wrong if there was no kiss. 3. Sex on the first date can happen, but it's not expected to. Usually it does happen on the second or third date. Older or more conservative people can wait more than that.

[@R.SM13]

I am Iranian and I have to say that Iranian woman was not really a representative of the common Iranian. To be honest we don't really have a common or dominant culture in Iran (even though Islamic regime tried it's best to make Islam dominant). Some Iranians have sex in their dates , some wait until marriage, some only have little sensual contact before marriage like kissing and hugging. some marry too soon some to late. Although I have to say most girls try to not have sexual relations before the marriage but since the economic situation has been getting worse in the resent decades less people have the Conditions of marriage and making a family so more people are having sexual relations outside of marriage.

Ok serious question time, are we talking Persian women outside of Iran or in Iran? I am genuinely curious as to the obvious recent incidents pertaining women in Iran. However in America (California) I have been heavily around Persian people and clearly there is not the restriction that there at least appears to be in Iran.

[@nazaninnazemi9298]

As an Iranian woman in Iran I can answer your question! We actually do everything. We kiss each other, we have sex but it should all be very hidden. We even have to hide it from our families for a long time and then if the relationship was going well, we would let them know that there’s some one. And in public places you can only hold hands.

The Ukrainian woman is cute. The Iranian woman is gorgeous. I would date either one of them(but with a bit of caution though because I know behind every beautiful woman is a really tough father and a bunch of brothers that are very protective). Foreign women I think are alot different than than American women obviously. I have never dated a foreign woman and I would be very open for doing that. Thank you for sharing this video. I learn alot about different cultures and their traditions(generalizing) through your videos. It's good to have people of those cultures telling you how it basically is and not dome opinion from someone not from that country that just had a little experiences. 😁👍

That "men must pay on a date" stuff... It originated from the time when women cannot buy anything because women didn't (weren't allowed to) have any money. Why can't 21th century people get rid of that bad habit? It is like women must do all the household chores, or women mustn't vote, or women mustn't enjoy sex. What do you think about the people who think that way? If both of them are capable of doing something, then insisting that only one of them must do it is stupid.

[@redleeks6253]

And you use European standards for everything? You also think that marriage concept was created by the church when Europeans arrived in America and realized that natives in tribos also had 'marriages'. Do you realize that in many animal spieces the male courts the female? Is it because females couldn't afford their own food? Providing is one of the mating and reproductions strategies. Take pigeons as an example, they are 'equal' and both take care of the chicks, they also practice life long monogamy and you know what? Male pigeons still court the female by dancing around her and feeding her (pigeons kisses). Like this she can access not only that hes goodlooking but a good provider. Here you go.

This is why I stopped dating Slavic girls; they always expect the man to pay.
