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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I was really keen to date with Dutch girl. But sadly, it never panned out. Most of the Dutch girls that I approached were rather cold. I was frequently ghosted or jilted by them. At one point, I did get close to one girl. But sadly our relationship never developed into a serious one. She's rather rude and impolite. Her cousin was probably also interested in me, but the language barrier got in the way. This is stark contrast to what I hear from my friends who said that Dutch girls are excited with Indonesian guys.

Not for "dating". They just know nothing about the culture, and think about Latinas in a sexualized way, so it has nothing with reality. I had a friend which wanted to date Russian women because society has sexualized Russian women so much. Once he tried to date Russians, he changed his opinion and now dating a Dutch girl. Thinking someone is hot according to stereotypes and actually date people from another culture are two different things.

You'll find extreme liberalism in the cities, but nationalism outside of the cities.

[@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.

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.

[@Joejoe12-j2k]

If you are a foreign man who is below 180 cm. I highly disrecomend you to come to The Netherlands when it comes to dating. The only chanses to find love here would be with a non-Dutch girl, but even they tend to choose for the "better" option, as this country is full of tall man. Trust me! It doesn't matter how charismatic you are. They will all reject you.

Is Dutch hard for an English person to learn?

[@ramarkble101]

Yes

[@yltraviole]

It's actually one of the languages closest to English in the world. You'll see tons of similarities in vocabulary. Grammar can be hard, because there's a few things in which Dutch works completely different from English, and pronouncing some sounds can be a challenge. But overall, Dutch is not at all as difficult a language to learn as many Dutch people like to pretend. It can be intimidating at first, but I think the biggest challenge to overcome is that there's a "high participation barrier", as in, you have to speak the language really well before people will speak Dutch with you over English. There's ways to fix that though. Practice by reading books, watching Dutch tv and listening to radio/podcasts. Find stuff geared towards children, if it doesn't bore you to tears. Specifically ask friends and colleagues to speak to you in Dutch, so you can learn. Have conversations with older people, their English usually isn’t as good, and they'll prefer speaking in Dutch. In conversations with people who don't know you, pretend you don't speak English. Now, they'll be forced to help you practice Dutch!
