Do Norwegians Want to Date a Local or Foreigner?

[@DatingBeyondBorders]

Happy Thursday everyone! This is the first video from my European series. It is a different style that I have been doing lately so let me know if you like it!❤ More countries to come 😊

[@davea6314]

A Norwegian Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.

Super-interesting as usual Marina, happy Thursday !!

[@chloeanastasia8440]

Love the openness of the Norwegians you interviewed ! Being able yo criticise the downside of your culture is a great sign of humbleness and willingness to improve

[@Me_di]

It’s a nice tactic to show the world. It’s something psychopaths like norwegians do to gain the respect of others because they care deeply of what others(rest of the world) think of them. But what brevik(mass killer from 2011)said is in everyone’s mind in the end. And that’s the reality.

[@marvin2678]

theres a difference to that and simple self hate

[@aammqqcc]

Norwegians are far away from being humble..... They think they do things loooong better than the rest of the world.. Try to live with them and how they behave... The are really closed minds in EVERYTHING

[@mustplay7212]

no. maybe you other europeans should learn to humble yourself. Ask arabs what they think about french passion? Or about the spanish hatred for non-spaniards? Dont confuse passion for empathy, because southern european countries are not more emphatetic or nice just because they talk more or are openminded. Also if Spain, Italy and France were so open about things, how come they still reject to talk about their undying hatred for arabs and africans? I have seen with my own eyes how black people in france are treated.. and it isnt nice. Yes we have alot of racism in norway too but you people on here (especially from us or southern european countries) keep neglecting youre own issues and projects it unto us. French and italians are also very open about hating foreigners.

I am mixed race from the northern part of Norway where we are considered more rustic and open. This was a fun video and it's good to have some self distance and be honest with your culture. It always comes down to personality and yes the editing was class. Yes, some of my Norwegian bros do need the alcohol to open up.

[@nicossbots]

the girl at 1:38 is another proof that no matter how emancipated a country is in regards to women's right ( being self reliant, self sufficient,independent and generally not approving of romanti /generous acts like a guy paying for them because that would go against their cultural norms) there will still be this need or maybe want to want to be spoiled by a guy. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, i still appreciate when a guy is a gentleman and goes out his way to impress but surely that must be reciprocated with respect and lady like attitude

[@Limpi43]

And the girl is picking up his socks from the floor, cleaning his soiled underwear, ironing his shirt, doing the groceries, making breakfast/lunch/dinner, washing-up the dishes, vacuuming the house, dusting the furniture, mopping the floor, washing the windows, watering the plants, changing the bed sheets, taking out the trash, putting everything back to its place, cleaning the oven, the washing machine, the fridge, the toilet, feeding the pets, walking the dog, changing the litter box, etc. Right? Because that's HER gesture towards HIM, and that's the tradition anyway.

[@ThSkBj]

A guy paid for our date once... It made me super uncomfortable... I payed him back after. 🤣 Just saying, one woman saying one thing doesn't mean that there is a general need for men to take a more traditional approach to dating. It only means that some women would appreciate it. I think that the most important thing is to find the person that is more compatible to your style of dating.
