I’m an American who’s lived in Europe (Stockholm, Sweden) for 10 years now and I think Dutch women are by far the most beautiful and stylish in Europe! I go to the Netherlands several times per year and have many friends there and I’m always impressed with their unique clothing and stylish hair. Swedish women are obsessed with only buying hipster clothing brands and wanting to look exactly like everyone else whereas the Dutch are more individualistic (and that’s much more attractive in my opinion).

I have been to other European countries and I think this is very true. I was a bit offended by the Italian lady who says we throw something on...

[@TheCarmen07]

Thank you

[@darinakalinova2180]

What? My husband, English, just to emphasize further difference would not agree fully with that. Dutch ladies can be stylish but that is so random. To see Dutch woman having make up done is a mostly magic or they are not native Dutch. Style here is very simple. Leather jacket, any type of Jean's, chinos, leggings will do and boots, never cleaned up and polished. And bag. Or MK or any other similar. Never seen women in suit, high heels. But if you consider the philosophy here just don't stick out. It's pretty natural.

It really depends on the person. I have seen really fashion oriented women, casual simple women, and also really unique, cute, and flashy on their own way. The "doe normaal" is STRONG on this topic though. What they say, that there is a major part that just "blend in" with how they dress and style themselves is true. But also there is something that i really appreciated when i was there, and it's that no matter how i dressed i didin't feel judged or observed at all. Everyone minds their own business, or at least don't show it haha. I can't wait to be back.

[@LeonKerkdijk]

Unless our women wear shirts with mold on their shoulders and jeans covered with mud, I think they're fine. Taking care of yourself is perceived differently in every country and therefore has a different meaning. Dutch women don't walk on high heels very frequently, but have you ever tried walking in high heels over our streets? Made of cobblestone? Do you want our women to have broken ankles? Also, wearing a tight dress with high heels just isn’t comfortable. Many Dutch women are cycling to work or to the station, nobody got time for that other shit. We like being comfortable, men and women alike, so jeans and sneakers are a big thing in The Netherlands. And when it comes to make-up, we like it natural. Just use your best features and enhance them just a little bit. Nothing more needed. Even better, go without make-up! Also, we favour social equality and directness. Don't expect Dutch men to hold the door open for you, because last time we checked, you had two functioning hands to do it yourself.

We favour social equality and directness; so, it would be disrespectful to not even ask for splitting the bill. Also, about being cheapskates, The Netherlands is actually very generous! We love to share our knowledge, our skills and even our money with everyone who needs it. The Netherlands is one of the biggest donators to development programs in the world. We spend MORE money on development projects than China, The United States and Japan all together and…. we don’t ask anything in return! It may look stupid in your eyes (go see an optician), but that’s just the way we are. Dutch people believe that they have a responsibility to share our skills, knowledge and wealth with people who need it.

I have Chinese parents, and what I love about the Netherlands is that social status matters a lot less than in China.

I actually did discuss these story’s with more of my family and friends but most of us agree that, : yes we like to wear what is comfortable and or what feels right but it doesn’t have to mean that that’s“not stylish “ we are all different yet very the same..as one of my friends said to me: “it is many times talk like this that actually sometimes are the cause of some girls thinking they need to change because you are revering to “Girls” or well said people who are under the age of 18, these girls are most of the time really insecure about themselves (wow even In the Netherlands?? YES) and just want to get to adulthood without people shaming they’re body’s or they’re dressing style and many teenage girls are very insecure about they’re skin so yea it’s sometimes kinda rude to point out the fact “the Girls rarely wear make-up” wich btw is not always true if you are actually revering to girls under 18 here than I can say that many normal school girls wear makeup”. I am really not attacking these people but some things just did not click for me like.. We are all woman and we all know how hard it is to be judged so much on our appearance, we don’t just take what falls out of our closet of course not it falls out off the closet because we are just desperate to find that one thing in there that we needed to wear on this specific day. You don’t have to agree with me and all these people that I discussed this with whoem (Most) of them are all originally from The Netherlands Sincerely from.. Just a girl from The Netherlands ✨ Hope you’re having a great day 🌷

Im Brazilian and I lived in the Netherlands, a lot of things said here are just plain wrong. Overweight? No, the Netherlands have of the lowest obesity rates in the developed world. Some things are true though, like what the girl from Hungary said about it being very homogoneous in the way people dress and act, there is a big culture of conformity.

[@waltertaljaard1488]

Dutch women have always been practical and very down to earth. Same goes for the men.

[@nathalielouist28]

[@paolofabio5114]

Note to the italian girl (and others): Milano is like a big catwalk. Its not representative for the rest of italy. In the country sides of italy (and other countries), people have electric hair, wear sportsuits, nikes, and other confortabel suits. I slept on different italian campings with only italian people, and they are not as fashionable as in the big city, which is totalmente a posto.

[@Gelre1542]

Ikzelf ben Nederlander, maar ik heb de grootste moeite met Nederlandse meisjes en vrouwen. Eigenwijs, afstandelijk, onbegrijpelijk en kil. Buitenlandse meisjes zijn veel gemakkelijker en beter benaderbaar. Ik ben 53 en de laatste keer dat ik verliefd was, was veertig jaar geleden. Ik ben uiteindelijk getrouwd met een Indonesische.

[@gellidanielle3931]

One time, I asked my Dutch boyfriend what nationality is the prettiest, he said Swedish. There are of course beautiful women in every nationality (I reminded him Doutzen Kroes is a gorgeous Dutch) but he said that most of Swedish women he saw/meet are all pretty/beautiful. Nope, I don’t have any Swedish blood lol. I’m full blooded Filipina.

Lol that's the Dutch for you. Telling his asian, brown haired, brown eyed girlfriend straight out he prefers blonde, blue eyed european woman. If nothing else the Dutch are predictable direct.

Dutch women don't wear high heels because they are usually tall. However, they love their boots!

[@mndvz]

Most of what these people say is so true. Super casual style, everyone looks the same and woman hardly ever high heals. And idd, theres no use of doing our hair, step outside and the wind and humidity have ruined it all 🤣

[@kim_yong_un]

To be fair, our (dutch) hair is often messy, because the weather is crappy. We live in a very windy country, that get’s humid in the summer aswell. Every time my hair is nicely done, our obnoxious weather ruins it. Riding bicycle doesn’t match well with neat hairdo’s either.

[@annemariecandyflip6531]

We might not be the prettiest ones or the best dressed but we're at least not shallow and arrogant like Italians for whom only their looks concern. Dutch ladies are naturals: life isn't about looking good, it about being happy and be good to others

[@kishanalouisa]

Me being Dutch: I’m 16 and 1.56m I wear oversized clothes because I’m not confident about my body... PLEASE NOT ONLY LOOK AT AMSTERDAM! Thank you😁

[@DjSpaceman]

Dutch women do appreciate holding the door and taking their coats, although its less of a necessity. In my relationship, my girlfriend and i are equal, although i insist to carry the heavier stuff, because its more practical... Doesn't mean she doesn't carry stuff at all. Dutch women do not like restrictions, inequality and they do like to be most independant. Even in household chores, we both do things we're best at. Washing is divided into seperate parts, she divides the clothes and operates the machine, whilst i hang it up, fold it and put it back in all clausets. (except for hers, she has her own ways of putting the clothes back) Practical and pretty is what girls commonly like, in the Netherlands.

[@asphalthedgehog6580]

We always open the door if she comes home with the groceries by bike in the rain. We thankfully take the beer out of the bags to help her, take a glass and sit on the couch.

[@MARKINAU8]

The old American woman is quite wrong: Dutch girl are taller but not bigger than American women and they're as well as other European are more stylish than most Amrican but not being inapropriate. I have to say she's been living under a rock! P>S> Australian here.

[@cornelisjohn]

I have to disagree with the man about dutch women being taller. It has nothing to do with sunshine. Dutch people consume more milk and other dairy products. The calcium and protein in dairy products can make you grow taller and big boned, starting when you are young.

[@margaritalambregts8928]

It's sad that traits which are leftovers from a more chauvinistic era (paying for the woman - she wouldn't have her own money; opening doors - she's too weak to fend for herself; etc) are considered "lacking" by some of these people's cultures. Let me keep my independence, flats, and certainty in my own value and skill as a human - who cares about my sex.

Some things are true for example that we are confident but I think you are in the wrong country. Every woman is different in her own way. Some woman like to dress up and some woman not that much. I went to Brazil and there you have also woman that like to dress up en some woman not so what is wrong with that. The important thing is that you feel confident and beautiful.

[@chrismith251]

I live in Nederland, and one thing I have noticed about the women here in general, they use very little make up or none at all.

All these women are oblivious of dutch culture. Dutch women are some of the classiest in the world. They are moderate, smart and for style they have their own style! Not like those over the top butt obsessed brazilian and american women of course! Pls dontyeven compare dutch women to russian women! Russian women are known for being??? I’m not dutch but i live here and know some of the classiest women that are dutch compared to... hurm brazilian? Lol

I think they're trying to make themselves feel better by saying that Dutch girls are "more confident". Thats a personal thing. And about "they wear too short dresses" that's a choice of someone. I mean these arguments are all so personal

Man nothing beats a dutch women. Their confidence and attidude is so damn amazing. The girls actually do take their time to look good, people here saying they don't is bullshit. Sure they wear more casual cause of the practically of being here, but doesn't mean they don't look good in them. A dutch women always looks good regardless of the weather. Them being so independent adds another flavour to it. Prolly 1 of the best type of girls you can find anywhere.

[@gamech1ck681]

In some ways I feel attacked but flattered at the same time 😂 Americans and Dutch people are really alike... it’s just that we Dutch people are a bit more direct and stuff. But fashion and confidence is pretty much at the same level, that’s what I think though.

[@sue9861]

It hasn't changed much. I think men are even more terrified now, to make the first move, as even winking at a woman could be considered sexual harrasment nowadays. Which is complete rubbish. On topic: truly hope chivalry isn't completely dead. If a man opens the door for you, it's just nice. Doesn't make anyone less independent.

[@ibyhogs3514]

I can definitely agree on this, sad thing is. Most girls in my town (yes i am dutch) do care About what they look like before they leave their house and wear a lot of designer and/or mainstream clothes. Litteraly so many girls here try to look the same as each other ‘cause it feels safe to them. Which is a shame because i can agree that our girls are Unique and beautiful!

[@ayrton56612]

@Geronimo Zoals je zelf in je eerste comment aangaf kleden Nederlandse vrouwen zich over het algemeen wat simpeler omdat hier de samenleving wat minder paternalistisch is. Nu constateren de mensen in het filmpje dat en lijkt iedereen in de comments gelijk op hun pik getrapt. Ik gaf alleen aan dat mooi te vinden zeker omdat er in het buitenland nog zo'n beeld is van de Nederlander net als over Zweden dat we er allemaal uit zouden zien als als perfecte mooie blonde mensen. Vooral van de vrouwen. Maarja ik moet toegeven mijn toon was wellicht een beetje zuur en denigrerend over kwam. Daar heb je wel gelijk in.

If somebody sees my pictures as i was younger, they say that i was beautiful! I had dresses and high heels! But not at daytime. As we met, my husband was living 1000 km away from NL. We married after 3.5years. We sah eachother maybe every 2 month! I think that sometving like this shows the character of Dutch woman. Naturally and strong, faithful. I am thal and strong. Emancipated, but i am not above my husband! We are equal! Al children are happily married, and are very proud to have a lot of Dutch blood! If i see my daughter, see could be realy more Dutch than myself! Very direkt and open, natural and can always help herself! My mother, auntys and Grandmothers have been the same! But honestly, if i see the lady's in this Videos, i like to see a Dutch lady! 😊
