The Reality Of Dating A German Girl

[@helgaioannidis9365]

I'm a German wife of a Greek husband and we live in Greece. In Germany I was always considered unorganized, was never on time and very much into giving out compliments. Here in Greece I get told a lot how structured, organized and reliable I am. I love living in Greece, the bar is so low for a German 😂

Wow the famous german arrogance - packed in a nice joke so you can deny it.

[@helgaioannidis9365]

@@marcstein2510 ah yes. Everybody finds what they are looking for. Thruth is I prefer the way Greeks handle time. I think it's healthier and more natural. I've been living in Greece for nearly 20 years now, because I adore the culture and the people. I had a hard time learning to be at least closely as warm and welcoming as Greek people are so naturally. Every culture has many characteristics and according to how you look at it each of them can be a flaw or a strength. I might be arrogant, have never been told that yet, but am willing to learn. So I'll think about it. Thank you for pointing out how you perceived me. ☀️

I’m a 21 year old who moved out to Germany 2 years ago for studies & to get married to my high school sweetheart (foreign exchange student); we had been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. We’ve been married for almost a year now, but because I was in Germany on a student visa and changed my course of study, I’m now back in the states to get my “Visum zum Zwecke des Ehegattenachzugs.” Needless to say, I had a huge culture shock coming back to the states, & I miss my wife, German culture, and German food:( can’t wait to get back to Saxony!

I am born Chinese but grew up in Austria and I am more Austrian than I am Chinese, which annoys the hell out of my grandma. I am very blunt and I do call out BS when I see it. My granny likes to cause drama and she is a person that doesn´t like when people younger than her question her "authority". Ergo, she is very conservative. When I called her out on her BS, she will say that I am not Chinese enough and that is not what Chinese women do. Well, I told her that I am not living in China, so I don´t have to behave like a Chinese. I can respect the culture, but I am not going to change who I am just because she doesn´t like it. Also acting the way she wants, is the reason, why Chinese women and girls are being harassed in school and the workplace overseas. (Which I experienced personally.) Being obedient and quiet might get you somewhere in China, but not in Austria. And I live in Austria, not in China. However, the neat part is more my partner than me. He is Austrian, Viennese to be exact, and god he is organised and neat. That drives me crazy because he always cleans up my desk, every time I visit my mum in Graz and the end result is that I can´t find my stuff. I had a designated place for my Bluetooth keypad and he just store it away, when I was at home during the holidays. I couldn´t find my keypad for two months and finally found it, yesterday!

Last week it was 25 years since I moved to the US. And I still can not give American compliments. I just can't use the American excitement range. The German range from 1 to 10 is Crap(1) to Good (Or maybe Great)(10). I would go up to Great but that needs true greatness. That is where I put my compliments. The American range is from Fantastic (1) to Best in the universe times infinity(10) That makes no sense since there is always something better and if I use high superlatives often then I have to use higher ones when better. That is how "Super Awesome" was created. If you had just used "Awesome" sparingly then you would not need something higher than awesome. OMG... I am more German than I realized. 🤷🤦

"Nicht geschimpft ist Lob genug" - not shouted is enough compliment. Place nice stones in the flower boxes, like my father did, so you have never problems with water the flowers.

As a German in Germany but without a girlfriend this video is very informative

[@dreiineinemboot]

Nalf you have to watch more Sendung mit der Maus, then you know most you girlfriend knows, we all grow up with that.

[@AmericasGotGermans]

"Reality is...."🤣Everything is crazy organized 😆 But to be honest, it realy depends on the person. I am NOOOT organized 😉But YES, we can do better in giving eachothe compliments! I give you that and I am working on it 😉

[@wessager8659]

When do we get to hear from Laura and Speedy(?)?

[@Tenajeh]

Best German compliment: "Hm-m. Can't complain."

[@epixgaming8938]

It's not about to find the girl that pleases you the most, it's about to find the one that annoys you the least.

[@spaceowl5957]

[@captainsewerrat]

"Brotzeit is not glamerous or flashy, but it is incredibly functional." - NALF, 2023 🤣👍🍀

[@michaelvonfriedrich3924]

Nalf!!!! How’s your German coming along??? You’ve been here how many years now??? 7 or so!!!!

[@MrFusselig]

I like Laura, she seems to be a great person :)

[@mclovin9148]

Northern Germans be like: WTF is Brotzeit?!

[@bcool9104]

My Pfalzer wife asked the same question?

[@MarieJohanna760]

Clutching my Franzbrötchen

[@checksix21]

[@123_thenumber5]

[@bas1330]

On the reading statistics...US graphic novels (comics) do not count towards this statistic in Germany...^^ PS: Great video... :)

[@Suxanes]

How did you guys meet?

[@thenmetv503]

I discovered cro while living in oregon tem years ago.. I still listen to him to this day... I was in munich and asked germans if they knew him and they didn't

[@Freddy2TakeOff]

It's funny (& probably intimidating any US advertiser & uploader), when you realize, that the _most frequently clicked position_ in this video (5:36), starts *after* the _built-in advertising_ ..., which is a reflection of probably the biggest part of German viewers: *the art of ignoring ads.* Aka *_The Reality Of TRYING To Share Advertising In Germany_* (some switch & others fast-forward - in both cases the advertising is undesirable!)

[@HardyMUC]

Still love your videos. Thanks, Nick.

[@SecretSquirrel59]

I enjoyed my years in Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental, my former wife was from nearby Steinbachle. Truly wished our marriage worked out.

[@abel82]

You wished? Why it didnt work out? A cultural thing?

[@SecretSquirrel59]

She would not follow me back to the states. I waited 3 years, then filed for divorce. Cultural? Probably more maturity.

[@abel82]

@@SecretSquirrel59 maybe she didnt wanna Leave her Zone of comfort

[@cleancoder3838]

I can relate. As a German I wouldn't follow a partner to the states, too. it isn't a matter of years at all. In most cases I believe, you can't expect a German to move to USA and I understand that. Life in Germany _can_ be so much better. If Life _will_ be better, is up to you and your partner of course.

[@noneofyourbusiness1990]

Nice apartment you guys got there ...

[@EH-lu2if]

I’m German, but I like it to make compliments. And I don‘t plan everything😂 (und ich bin nicht immer durchorganisiert 😜). Vielleicht bin ich nicht typisch deutsch?? Ich würde mich freuen, so ein Video mal auf deutsch zu hören, dann verstehe ich wenigstens alles 😂

[@DieNona82]

Ich auch!!!
