The Russian I Had to Use Google Translate For | Dating with Damon

ig @damondominique
Y'all really underestimate my diplomatic efforts sometimes. I was really over here trying to improve US-Russia relations through 2020 Google Translate technology. If there's some meddling in the 2020 election, don't come cryin' to me.

I’m Russian and not everybody like that dude. Some of them are really communicative, it depends on a person more, than on the Russian culture

[@YuliiaSoury]

I’m from Ukraine but mentality is quite the same. So i must say that people are just scared so that’s why they act cold. I went to the US to work and a random woman came up to me on the street to ask where can she get a dress for her daughter and all i could think about is ‘does she want to steal from me ?’ It was long time ago, i try to be more open and friendly but yeah, a lot of people are cold because they’re scared of something

[@linhtrinh7405]

that’s so sarcastic hahahah

[@deliciouscinnamonroll4378]

I'm russian and I agree that our language is complicated🙃 but I have to admit that Damon's pronunciation is actually pretty good😎

[@margaritakuzin671]

being a russian speaker, this was the most amazing thing i’ve ever. i love damon’s enthusiasm, his videos never fail to make me smile!!

[@masha7377]

When I lived in Russia I noticed how grumpy everybody looks all the time. My friend told me that they typically think that it's annoying how happy and friendly and FAKE we are all the time. Basically, it's "give me a reason to smile and be friendly" vs "give me a reason not to". And of course it's understood that not everyone is like that, it's just an overall impression one can get. 😊

[@justanotherpersonxo]

You're seriously great at storytelling 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@mariahtrevino9809]

PLEASE! never end the #DatingWithDamon series. This is the best thing since baguettes 🥖

[@agdakatarsis313]

This is just a way Russians perform.. I bet he was interested from beginning but as been said there are reasons gay Russian people are feeling insecure in public plus its totally Russian thing to be really cold from beginning, we just need some time to open our deep souls..))

[@blinowski]

not true. I am Russian too and I lived their most of my life. I live in Berlin for 11 years now and I have never been like that. When a human is interested in you - show that you're at least interested to know why. Don't be an asshole and treat people like shit. It's really not a big deal to be kind and friendly. Like wtf dudes Вообще в шоке что все русские под видео такое пишут. Вам нужен всем европейский фейс контроль. Пора уже проснуться ребята. Если вы людям улыбнётесь то вам улыбнуться назад и так везде в Европе. Русским просто пора уже вытянуть палку из попы и вести себя нормально хахаха Что блять с вам. Потом мне надо на трёх языках рассказывать что в России всё плохо и люди всё ещё в прошедшем веке живут и себя точно так и ведут. Ну правда... 😅

[@potmki6601]

Человек пишет искренне, мне кажется, что стараться на каждом ресурсе показать Россию с "лучшей" стороны - глупо, очевидно и немного по-советски. Лично я полностью разделяю стереотип о том, что русские поначалу более замкнутые, а потом вываливают на тебя всю подноготную, и сама ему соответствую. Только работа в торговле в студенческие годы меня немного научила small talk или как это по-русски.

[@eveslover8817]

Theodor Robinson living in berlin has likely influences you

[@blinowski]

@@eveslover8817 thanks for your comment, but I think that that is pretty obvious. But again..this only improved some things. I grew up in a family where it was important to talk about everything and friends of our family were the same. There were no "children sit at their table" stuff. I guess there is a difference between family's who enjoy culture and Art and small talks and there are family's where you need to learn basic human social skills by yourself/on your own. Seems pretty sad to me

[@silverdisable]

blinowski I’m not from Russia but it is kind of sad to see Russians always said to be cold and distant when it’s not true to most people. Social attitude is different everywhere when flirting but a person is an individual, not a stereotype:(

[@keziahd3204]

Gosh, I love this series. It feels like we're all Damon's friends having a wine or coffee date with him, chatting about the shenanigans he's been up to. I LOVE it. Edit: also the theme song SLAPS

[@SkeIetor]

You are all cold like the the weather in your frigid country. I'm kidding I'd love to visit Russia fellow slav here

[@topiesponja]

HAHAHA omg I totally get what you’re saying, especially with that part of this guy being completely unimpressed when you told him you’re learning russian. I’m mexican and I also started learning russian a couple of years ago because of the same reasons as you. I just thought they’re super mysterious and interesting and wanted to know the language so I could understand what their deal is all about hahah Anyways. If I can sum up what I’ve learnt about Russians is this: they seem mysterious because they ARE mysterious. They won’t trust you easily, so they’ll keep a distance at first while they overly analyse you and wait to be somewhat nicer to you (while still keeping a distance) until they finally decide you’re someone they like. However, once they decide they like you, they’ll be super generous and will try to help you with anything while also giving you a lot of gifts. This and an ocassional laughter is the only way you can tell that they actually like you These things ) are indeed a way of adding a smiley face without being overly excited about something. It’s just like a way to make their message seem friendlier and nicer. The amount of )s are proportional to their mood)))))) As I said, I also found it super weird and kinda disappointing that absolutely no one would ever be flattered/ impressed when I told them I’m learning their language. It is literally the only culture I’ve seen that reacts like this with that. Still, my guess is that they actually like it but they won’t show it to you because of what I just explained before of them being mysterious people and suspicious about you at first. I still don’t really get what their deal is about with flirting/dating and being extremely detached though, so I can’t really give you an insight on that lol (To any Russian reading this: I know that of course not EVERYONE is like this. I’m just telling my general view on the experiences I’ve had)
