It's sad they have to get drunk to even open up and/or talk to a person. Resided in Sweden and they seem like this. Just going on a morning stroll and saying hi to a person you see every morning going for a walk is out of the ordinary.

I mean, even in more social societies it still helps. Obviously the Northern Europeans take it to the extreme. As someone who comes from the US, there is definitely a capability to socialize without alcohol, but the downside is that much of that talking is just small talk for the sake of making noise. Like it's interesting (and unhealthy in its own way) seeing how horribly uncomfortable people can get here if everyone just sits there in silence, yet people in a country like Finland will just huddle around a fire to drink and merely enjoy each other's physical company / presence.

I was born in Minnesota so there was a fairly high number of Norwegian Americans there. They can seem cold, distant, quiet and reserved so I’ve heard people complain about their “lack of friendliness”. There’s a positive flip side to this stereotype though, once they gauge you as trustworthy and that you can mind your own business, they would give you the shirt off their backs. They also tend to be good employees, good neighbors & good bosses.

@@Shirumoon Scandinavians (at least Swedes and Norwegians) tend to drink mostly during the weekends. When we actually do drink we do it properly (get wasted) which makes it easier for everyone to socialize. I think that’s why they’re mentioning alcohol so much. It’s basically the easiest and most common way to meet new people here. Although this is almost exclusively during the weekends or the holidays, regular weekdays we barely drink and if we do it’s mostly light stuff which might be the answer to why we statistically drink less than in other cultures where it’s normal to have one glass every day.

There was a Norwegian girl I knew almost 20 years ago that I'm pretty sure liked me. I told her that (because of what she was doing at the time) she should not date but focus on what she was doing instead, until it was over. I never got her contact info and I seriously regret it. She was not cold. We worked together and went on hikes together. I have a picture where she grabbed my arm to pull me into a picture. She was not drunk. Based on her and this channel, my top two ideal places to find a GF would be Wallonia or Norway.

Regarding to the alcohol. My husband is Norwegian and he rarely drinks. In his friends and family circle is not common to drink either. People do drink lots coffee though, I meet up with Norwegian friends over coffee/tea and cakes(home baked of course).... I don't feel people need alcohol to speak to. Maybe to have small talks with a complete stranger, perhaps it is not their thing, but if you are in work place, your friends circle, or you are in a hobby club, society, etc you just talk with people like anywhere else. Norwegians are very easy going, friendly and fun. They are easier to get along with than the Swedes and Danes in my opinion, perhaps because they have less population, and the oil money make their society less competitive, everyone is just chill and at peace.

I left Gjøvik one early Sunday morning and walked down the hill to the railway station, in an empty town. I saw a lady coming towards me pushing a kiddy buggy. We would pass in around 45 seconds. At the very moment of meeting she turned her head to look at an empty shop, unable to say anything. Forgive me Lord, I shouted raising my hands, "God morgen, good morning!" Why is it so hard for them to join in with the rest of the world's social customs.

Because we have a different and I guess more germanic culture. The germanic culture is more direct and a bit less polite than the english/british. So it's like, you want something from someone, ask them, want to complain complain, want to... whatever, just do it. We go a bit more straight to the point. This also includes that we can be straightforward about strangers not being friends. To us it's like self-evident, the person is not a friend so why should we see it as a friend then? Henceforth we often don't see the need to be particularly nice to such a stranger either. In short, maybe it takes a bit more for germanic ppl to see someone as a friend than it does for people in anglo countries. But we also don't have such a compulsion to always be nice and polite either, which can in fact be a good thing. It makes for more effective communication and getting more thngs done quicker.

Hi, I would put the Norwegians in a different group. Rather they seem to me to be proto-Slavs. The addiction to alcohol ( stamped on by the state through necessity in the 30s) and their coldness seems to put them into the bracket of Poles, Finns, and Eastern Europeans. Perhaps the lack of trust in the stranger is due to a vicious past I dont know. But it puts them at a disadvantage. 'Do as you want to be done by' has a lot to be said for it..benefitting both parties if accepted in an unspoken manner. The Pole who walked out of the lift first, infront of me, then pushed open the heavy glass door (for him alone to walk out of the building) allowing it to slam shut infront of me had not yet made the connection with "do as you would be done for benefitting everyone." The lady who could not bring herself to say good morning to me might conceivably have been the beneficiary of my good advice had she spoken. "The road down there is closed better to go that way.." Or Maybe "There are some drunken yobs down there, take care." But dumb coldness wouldnt make me pass on such information for fear of rebuke..

Here is my theory about the "coldness" of Norwegians and Nordics in general: The latitude that Norwegians reside in was not really meant for human habitation. In a slow process of millenia of adaptation and selection the forefathers of todays Norwegians slowly became genetically adjusted to the environment. This adaptation benefitted traits that would be crucial for survival in a cold climate (essentially: delayed gratification traits like high conscientiousness), at the same time it decreased in the populations genetic pool tendencies like openness, cheerfulness, extroversion that are more beneficial for immediate gratification and can only be afforded by people, who live in more habitable spaces.

This video makes it seem like stereotypes are true of everyone? Aren't there Norwegians who don't meet the stereotype? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Marina, given the current situation with the actors' and writers' strike in the US, which highlights the problem of monetizing your content creation, I would like to ask you : how much money do you make from this channel ? The views are not that many, the content contributors appear to be many meaning any revenue has to be divided, and I don't see any other ways to make money. So how does this operation work ? Is it over for anyone who wants to make money ?

What I'm hearing is that Norwegians have a drinking problem. Although most countries have a drinking problem. It doesn't seem to occur to anyone that over decades of alcohol consumption their brains and bodies deteriorate considerably. Even small amounts of Alcohol does damage. All because they lack the skills or confidence to talk to humans without drugging themselves up. Despite the fact that these people just laugh about it, it's just sad.

Norwegians drink very little alcohol - only 50% of the EU average. We also drink weak beer with a low alcohol content.

Hahaha, yeah of course, that’s why you have all those restrictions on alcohol 🤣🤣🤣. You can’t buy hard alcohol in regular stores, can’t buy alcohol in stores on Sunday, on Saturday no alcohol after 06:00 pm, weekdays after 08:00 pm. Vinmonoppolet is working from 10am - 06pm, on Saturday 10am - 04pm. In bars they have bartenders and security that needs to tell you when to stop drinking or force you to drink water or they kick you out ect. Yeah, you don’t drink too much 🤣🤣🤣, you definitely know how to drink and behave when drunk 🤣🤣🤣. You’re funny dude 🤣🤣🤣.

Uhm, nope. I'm Norwegian and been to Zurich and the swiss were weird and closed off to me. We're much more liberal in many of our attitudes than the swiss, i asked a guy on day two for 'something to smoke' in zurich downtown and he reacted like it was the end of the world, scared expression, and ran away. In Oslo there's hundreds of sellers all over the place in summer and super easy to find. In Zurich it wasn't, only that legal CBD and legal spice stuff.

Alcoholism and getting drunk is normal and too common in Norway and the Nordics.
2 ай бұрын
Yes, so normal that it's an entire culture around it, which ALSO focuses on how to drink responsibly, how to get to work after weekend, that drinking and driving is strictly prohibited with large fines/even jail if it's serious, and everything is just made/designed to drink a bit in the weekend so for like 96% of people it's perfectly safe, as long as they're able to have at least a BIT of self control also.
