Do Dutch Prefer Dating a Local or a Foreigner?

I asked Dutch on the streets of the Netherlands whether they would prefer someone from the Netherlands or a foreigner. Here is what they had to say.

I lived in the Netherland, and if you are from a latin country like me, feeling emotions and stuff, be prepared to have your heart a bit scratched by the "coldness" of the dutch women, or the culture in general :D.

You have to speak nearly fluent Dutch to get into their social circles, it is when they start approaching you, because you are part of their world, then it is easy to date them, you meet their families and distant friends too, get invited to bbqs and dinners. They do not bother with foreigners that leave in 1 year and treat them as a hookup. I grew up there as a foreigner, so I have an inside info :)

[@GiblixStudio]

As a 40 year old dutch dude I personally don't care about foreign or not. Met many women from various backgrounds and as long as the attraction and interest is there it'll work. For the past 8 years I've been married to a woman from Paraguay. She traveled around and ended up in the Netherlands and stayed. So I didn't even have to go abroad :D as for cultures I wouldn't date. most likely best too avoid american women. My personal preference is the more "mysterious" looking women with darker hair. So South Americans and Asians works for me. Especially since I also love their cuisine compared to boring dutch. I hit the jackpot there ;) In the northern part of Europe we men do approach women. We are just way more private and we also are more critical on who we want to approach. It isn't just being single so I approach everybody. We got standards and patience.

[@MabusNero-bb3sv]

[@ThatGuy09890]

lol. I’ve noticed a lot of Dutch people seem to “think” they don’t like traditional gender roles, but really they just mean countries with people who look and act radically different from them, AKA Asians and black people. The obsession with Italians, Spanish, Latin Americans (who are SUPER macho/traditional) etc. that I see in a lot of these vids seem to confirm that. Either they have no idea what people from Latin America are like, or when they say gender roles, they only think of stuff like hijabs and forced marriages.

[@Wetsand348]

They simply have no idea, not only them, but pretty much the entire world has little to no knowledge on latin america

[@hiphipjorge5755]

​@@Wetsand348 I wouldn't say they have no idea being that there are Latin Americans living in the Netherlands and TONS in Spain, so they've encountered them. The fact of the matter is that they probably don't have exposure to the poorest Latin Americans, who more likely move to the US if they emigrate. That means that their exposure won't show the worst of machismo. On the other hand, Americans are biased to see the opposite. That said, on every real account, Latin Americans are still less foreign and very much less traditional than the Africans, West Asians and South Asians that Europeans are talking about

[@infj4w511]

- The language barrier is real. Being able to communicate through a second language is lightyears behind being comfortable expressing yourself in that language. It's not about being scared people judge your language skills or sth. It's just that there's a gigantic difference between being able to say your thoughts out loud in an instant, or having to translate them first. Even if it's just an extra nanosecond you need to formulate your thoughts in the different language, it makes a heck of a difference. - Stop arguing about whether men or women should approach. In the end, it's best for everyone, regardless of gender, to approach when they are interested. You need to do this to show that you are needy and want their attention. This vulnerability is necessary to find out if the relationship could develop further from there. Anyone who wants to succeed in sth big, including getting into the 1 kind of relationship you want, needs to face a lot of discomfort, vulnerability, failure, and rejection before succeeding. It's the way it is. Regardless of gender. This has never been and will never be easy, regardless of gender. And yes, it's uncomfortable to be approached by someone you don't like, regardless of gender. And yes, when approaching one should always keep in mind how the other feels in order to avoid overstepping boundaries. That's all non-gendered. I could see that women might be more easily intimidated by men (considering men are stronger and could easily take them down and rape them). However, that could as easily be an argument as for why they should be the one approaching as for why men should be the ones approaching. - Stop acting like dating is easier/more difficult in different countries. Every country has their own cultural gives and takes, and in most countries this has come to an equilibrium in which both men and women keep marrying. And yes, relationships take a lot from you. They give you a safety net, but cost you a lot during comfortable/safe times. It's always been like that as well for any gender.

[@infj4w511]

Nah, Chad culture is much more similar to the Italian "macho" culture. Also, the whole point of approaching your person of interest is to show you're needy and want their attention. They need to know that shit if you want to try to get further with them. Whether it's the man or woman who has to initiate this doesn't change that fact, and it's always uncomfortable to be the one to approach, because approaching is always the vulnerable option which will lead to rejection in most cases. That's a fact, regardless of whether you're a man or woman. After all, most people like less than half of the gender of interest well enough to want a relationship with them. Most people marry near to 1 person, and not the entire gender.

Manchuria is taller than the Netherlands for a bit.

3:20 the stunning girl on the right has a darker shade of skin colour, I’m wondering if she’s a Dutch person of Middle Eastern ancestry?

[@andrejgrupkovic7765]

Mediterranean Guy living in Netherlands here, totally can relate. I notice Dutch Girls tend to not like guys that are not Dutch, unless the girl has some ethnic background other than Dutch. I'm a tall guy, but with darker hair and darker skin complexion. I tend to have more success with girls from Spain, Italy, Greece or France. Its just a cultural thing I think. But yeah definitely notice i have less success with Dutch Girls.

[@misskaedy]

I also noticed that when I interact with Dutch men, they sometimes purposely avoid eye contact. It's like they are scared to lock eyes with you. Is it just me or do Dutch men do this with other women too?

They speak english so well. What language barrier ????

[@GeoSocratic]

To some people it is wearisome to speak in another language or listen to another language (even if such person is fluent, needless to say when they are not). It is a stress that not many people are up to living on a daily basis. To make friends, the foreigner will need to speak the local language at some point as the spouse's friends might not be willing to speak English when they can speak their language among themselves. They won't speak English just for one person. It doesn't make much sense to do so to be honest. Besides, they can have kids and having them exposed to different languages might be confusing and harmful in the beginning as they are going to live in one country and the official language will matter the most after all.

Have you been to the Netherlands??? People are huge , most dutch Girls are taller than most foreigners, and well dutch guys are pretty good looking (No Homo) and very tall I mean if they have to choose there is literally no competition

[@Onche518]

Netherlands is pretty much a suicide destination if you're not 6'+ and want to score a girl. Maybe Scandinavia even is a better option

[@Limpi43]

I agree. When girls say they wouldn't date a guy under a certain height, it is as shallow and stupid as guys say they wouldn't date girls under a certain cup size or over a certain weight.

[@V0r4xiz]

@@Guillermo153 You're saying that like that was some kinda excuse, lol. The average breast size in Sweden is larger than in Japan, therefore swedish men only wanting to date women with large breasts is a sane take. Like... are you hearing yourself?

Girls looking like that and never getting approached? More like not often approached by guys they are into. Also it's defenitly not the norm in the Netherlands for the girls to do the approaching. They maybe do it 10% of the time if I'm being really generous. Or maybe I haven't been in Amsterdam for too long and the dating scene has changed 180 degrees.

Now it turns out they value their language, when at the first remote sign of having the chance to use English, they take it, EVEN when being addressed in Dutch by foreigners, which is pretty disrespectful (to reply in a language you're not being addressed in), may I add.

[@donbrabo]

Yikes! All I am hearing is Dutchmen are anywhere between an incel and a douchebag, but in general a cheapskate. Could you imagine Valentine's Day or the anniversary? "Oh, yeah, pay me when you can for the roses and card I gave you." or "The only reason why I am with you is because you chose me and spoke Dutch." The only remedying quality is being tall and blonde hair, I guess... Even though I have seen plenty of potbelly and unfortunate looking men with blonde hair who are 6'4 in white socks and sandals.

[@Milonification]

When are Americans gonna learn that all Europeans really don't care for the whole I have blah blah european ancestry. You don't know nothing about being from said European country unless you have actually lived there or maybe if your parents are from there, you are just some person from the USA. And therefore, of course you can feel disconnected from actual people living there. You are from a very different cultural background. Your ancestry has nothing to do with it in this case and certainly gives you no credit in the matter of liking a countries culture more or less.

[@CenarosNL]

I'm definitely not into the typical blonde, blue eyes, rough built woman of northern Europe, no. Or the timid northern Europe early 20s student look. I've always been into full/halfblood Arabic, Asian, African girls. Not to fetish an 'exotic' girl. It's more than common where I'm from :P But Dutchies are very cold people. And those other cultures are (usually) much warmer people. I think that's a very attractive trait to have. To be genuinely loving to folks around you, while still being strong and independent. Dutchies don't know how to behave like that lol.

[@justshari]

I think this might be why my husband was first attracted me. We have differences that compliment each other. I’m from capetown South Africa and we are very bubbly and enjoy life. Our first date was up on table mountain , then I took him to hang with my friends where we played the guitar and braai ( bbq) on the beach. I think Dutch guys are very authentic and sometimes meeting someone who is willing to bring them into a new world with food, laughter and some diverse culture is something they appreciate. He did however tell me that it was my long dark hair that first caught his attention lol.

[@monero892]

The woman who won't date Chinese because of height. Been living in China for a a few years now and the young Chinese these days can be super tall, met many easily above 185. Unfair to sterotype them as being short...even Korea has many tall, at least 180 which is euro average (I realise Dutch are tallest in Europe)

@@MabusNero-bb3sv I recommend you look at a map of the recent Tweede Kamerverkiezingen, and see in which places which party won the majority. The division is huge. You'll find extreme liberalism in the cities, but nationalism outside of the cities. And for a small country like the Netherlands where a lot, perhaps even a majority of people live in the countryside, there's a big division problem.
