[@quizpatenteb401]

What of if you want to date the girls

[@eps3154]

Hmm.. I think it is a matter of personal values. For example, I would prefer a well educated, thoughtful, quiet man than a well groomed, romantic one. The communication thing could be problematic but people forget that it is a skill that can be learned. And, (though I can only speak from an American perspective but) communication is a skill that most couples struggle with. I think regardless of culture and nationality, the most important thing is whether or not a partner is willing to grow and learn to sustain a healthy relationship ❤

[@abdielcepeda2353]

Hi I am interested in a Finland woman for marriage.I am American.

[@markkuuss]

Listen, the grass is always greener elsewhere..all girls hate their local men. I am from Tunisia and girls in my country are always praising foreign guys who are "Polite" and non-macho and romantic...it's the same everywhere. I personally had good experience with Finnish girls because they are different from girls in my country. Different cultures create mystery and also challenges..

I do understand this. Being different intrigues.

[@tripcode1722]

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm American and don't remember the last time I was with an American man. I guess there's not anything wrong with them, but foreigners are simply more interesting. Variety is the spice of life, I suppose. Edit: one of my close friends is Hungarian and living in the US and loves American men, which baffles me. But when someone brings up Hungarian men she's just like 😐🙄 I think women just get tired of their compatriots and want something new, and I'm guessing many men out there feel the same too, lol.

The Finnish guy I dated for more than 4 years had a lot in common with a typical dude described by those ladies. He was not a drunkard though and paid attention to his looks at least when with me. I cannot tell for sure, but I think it takes them a long time to devote themselves to a relationship and only when they do, will they be more straightforward, talkative and open about their feelings (not all the time though.) I am Turkish, so not the romantic stuff or compliments, but talking about feelings is a HUGE thing (for men as well!) I wish he had been as open. I feel you ladies, but also I believe that some of your fellow men are worth the effort. Don't lose the hope. Neither of the two parties.

[@drasiella]

It took me ages to begin to understand my boyfriend and his closed-ness, before that I would extract things from his "with pliers" as we say here. Being closed and quiet used to offend me so much, but I grew to understand it. Now, we understand each other and try to respect each other when it comes to being too open and vunerable. Keeping open mind is important, respecting the culture of your SO even more. Lots and lots of talking is important, communication saves the day most days. My greatest fear was alway bring left because I cannot fulfill something for the man I love, but if we talked about it we would learn Im perfectly capable and willing to provide (fetishes, fantasies etc) TALK IS THE KING

Well, it is quite demanding to get through the winter, if you think about it. I think these qualities were selected for in the Finnish population in both men and women.

[@Demons972]

I don't think he ever made a video about the topic so i'll share my experience based on opinion from Finns who have been married and dated Finnish women Giving some context my mom (Latina) married a Finnish guy abt 2 years ago who was married to a Finnish woman for about 15 years. I came to Finland at the beginning of the year, i've been to festivals and b-day parties and to my surprise there is a good amount of middle aged and young dude's that are either married or in a relationship with a foreign woman (mostly Filipino, Latina and some from Eastern Europe) I've had the chance to politely and respectfully ask the reason making sure i'm not offending them but instead as a genuine concern since i wan't to try and date a Finnish woman. They say in summary that Finnish women are very demanding when it comes to control the boyfriend/husband lives and habits so they end up doing whatever the wife or girlfriend says as to avoid getting "b*tched" at and therefore the relationship/marriage becomes really toxic and they feel trapped and miserable, other's just find a foreign woman more attractive and exotic because of their body features (just like the case of Finnish woman towards foreign men) Also they said that foreign women tend to be a little bit more permissive, appreciative and proactive towards the relation, they don't ask a lot from them and you can keep them happy with little details. In addition they also said that foreign women are not that concerned about looks, "you can look like sh*t but just don't smell like sh*t" one Finn said to me lmao, so they like that foreign women are more carefree when it comes to fashion. That's pretty much all i can recall, i was kinda intoxicated when i had those conversations hahaha but i could notice that most of them were really shy and reserved dude's once i meet them sober.

I think part of this might be the "foreigner effect" where the foreign men may (at least initially) be more polite and respectful because they are not sure what the rules are, what is expected of them, etc. Also, if there are even slight language issues, it tends to make people more careful and polite. Ooh! I don't think a lot of women want a man who is "highly assertive and takes charge." They just want communication!

[@arvijeffery6859]

Finnish guys concentrate on being honest, smart (high science scores), and tough as hell when necessary (The Winter War). Guys with lots of "game" and bull sh..t are often lacking in toughness, and intelligence. Be yourself, and the right lady will respect you.

Maybe Finnish women like a bit more Foreign Guys, but after some time culture problems is hitting most relationships, it may be difficult in the end to be with a finish woman a long time or build something really serious. Finn women can change any time and decide to leave or just walk out of the relationship ... Of course not all Finn but mostly. Nice videos keep going my Man.

[@mizulightblue]

I can agree with all of that. I have a finnish ex, but all of that was listed here, is the same as my ex was and is. Also he was quite aggressive in his behaviour, without alcohol and unfortunately, he is not taking care of his child at all and make excuses to see our daughter. She is now 2 1/2 years old and he barely sees her. For me, and her, very difficult. I don't get any break, he has free time the whole time (he wants to have 5 kids though), and my daughter is asking me for her dad and I have no idea what to say. It can probably happen in any country with some men, but when I look at the streets and talk with people, many are in the same situation as I am. Terrible.

[@dogetge7544]

That's crazy. Things like this happen very often. In my experience sometimes i have mixed thoughts about my father, even if he's "been" in my life along with my mother i would prefer to have him apart because he was not worth it. It was like a shallow person whom negativity and frustrations dragged others around him down. He is very manipulative, compulsive and a liar person, and i would say that didn't added good things to my mother's life. So even though he's been with me he wasn't like "actively present". My mother worked her whole life to maintain me, my brothers and my father, but nowadays i live with her and she's divorced, i never seen my mother being so happy during her whole life as she was in the last three years that's been divorced. I know that you probably don't want to be with him and just want him to pass time with his daughter but sometimes people doesn't see how assholes and selfish they're being. I hope that with time he's gonna learn to love his child but there's not much you can do about it. Being a parent is a hard task, and in you case is even harder doing it "alone" but it's gonna be worth it.

[@mizulightblue]

@@dogetge7544 Thanks for telling me a bit of the story. I think it's very interesting. My parents got divorced when I was like 4 and I hated it.

I've been living 3 years in Finland and I can tell it's true that women like foreign guys more but that doesn't mean they'll date foreign men. I've noticed that women are very often judged harshly by people of their inner social circle if they date foreign men. This is very sad but that makes them just not date foreign guys since they don't want to be judged and go against the wishes of their fellow Finns.

[@Andrew-dz8ls]

That's because they can't have what they want. But ironically, they are not doing anything to approach the opposite gender.

[@lala75ful]

My Finnish friend has suffered a lot and indeed complained about Finnish guys, not being able to commit to a relationship, only looking for sex which they do not even excel at, poor communication, poor manners, no life perspective. So yeah, obviously, foreigners look like beef steak, especially the Latino ones, very passionate and courteous. Foreigners that come to Finland also probably move to stay so building a relationship and a home for them is serious business. Ofc I am sure there are also exceptions on both sides, I also know a happy Finnish couple or dubious foreigners, so it depends. Also, from my own personal experience, Finnish guys have a lot of cringe moments, so try to be more open and jolly, sex is nice but not everything in a relationship, which should be a partnership, you have more wins to take from that.

One should consider the fact that we do not value or find appealing what is mostly around us, in this case the characteristics of Finnish men from a Finnish Women's perspective. While I have enjoyed my time with Finnish girls or other European girls quite a lot, I could never really get along with girls of my culture so I can relate to this quite strongly.

[@evakkosiili6390]

As a finnish woman, i've faced lot of foreing golddigers, it's really sad to find out what they are after, treating women like some kind of trophy :( i have some foreing guys as a friend, but they take me as a "one of the guys", thankfully i never (okay, maybe once) had any romantic feeling towards them. I have dated some guys from other countries. but nationality doesn't really matter, only if we have common things we like, gaming, metal, being a weeb etc. We have same kind of guys in finland also, maybe i have been just unlucky so havent met that much of them, or wait, mayb i should stop my nerding out for a while and try to talk to someone :D

Grass is always greener in other side, there are different types of people. I really cannot say if Finnish guys are any worse than other nationalities. I seen many rude or sad or unhygienic or no respect to women at all types of guys within different nationalities. I think its just women's curiosity that thinking there might be better options beyond what they have. 😂. Dudes are always the same no matter what nationality they are, there is stereotype that applies almost every men in the world: don't understand the women, not enough respect, cannot share their feelings, not romantic enough....

[@kl6902]

Aw it sounds like the entire country of Finland suffers from childhood trauma. No self esteem, lack of self care, drinking often, afraid to express emotions etc. #therapyforfinland I’m sure having a lot of cold, dark weather doesn’t help the disposition.

I'm not very traditional finnish guy. And after this video understand why foreign women are so interested in me.:) I've noticed that guys elsewhere are not as deep as finnish guys, and they talk and talk but they not mean it. If a finnish guy says that he loves you, you know that it is real. I'm not sure if I've ever said"I love you" bc it has never been true. I cannot lie. Finnish guys should smoke more cannabis and leave the booze.

[@tatyanarogachova2775]

It's also a problem of genetic diversity. If the population of the country is quite small, the level of genetic diversity among people is low, and because of that guys and girls don't want relationships with people of their own nation, but are interested in foreigners. In many countries even government supports more close interaction between different nations, because multinational children are usually more healthy and talented. Finnish guys and girls don't like each others, because they subconsciously don't want genetically similar partner. Forcing them to talk more, change their style and haircut, giving more respect and romantic stuff, simply will not help. I think, invitation of people with Finnish roots, like 50% finns or 25% finns will help. When I came to the repatriation program for people, who were forced to become Soviet sitizens after the winter war, only children of native finns were invited, grandchildren were not wanted and they should have leaved Finland after age 18, when it is no need to live together with their repatriated Finnish parents. But I think it was easier for 25% finns to integrate in Finnish society, then for people without Finnish roots.

@@menamena5354 "Many of the Finnish ladies" - this speaks more about them than about the Finnish men they try to attack.

Maybe you, yourself just smell, can't communicate and are fat? I don't see attractive White women having problems with being approached by confident White guys who are in great shape.

[@alexvirginia1975]

Us foreigners in Finland are used to talking to women in order to date a woman. Outside of Finland (in the real world) if you aren't aggressive and talk to a woman.. You won't be dating.. Period. In Finland.. Finnish guys aren't aggressive enough to survive outside of Finland and meet women. That's just how it is. I'm from DC.. Been living in Helsinki for 16yrs. It's just super easy to talk to a girl here in Finland.. Compared to other countries

(1:39) _"Maybe Finnish woman would hope that she would be treated like being appreciated - not just as a salary consumer, mother and a home's person in charge"_ (5:12) _"Does this tell about our women's attraction to foreign men or men who make the initiative?"_ Wait a minute, I thought we were supposed to be living in a age of feminism, where women want to feel empowered to do want they want and to be treated equally to men, but now you also want special treatment because you're a woman? So which one is it, do you want special treatment or do you want to be treated equally? You can't have it both ways.

[@Isabella-ed8mf]

Yes, we can have it both ways, and it's actually quite simple. Equal rights doesn't mean ignoring gender differences. A guy can appreciate his girl, be romantic, do small gestures for them, but also respect that she's bringing in equal money, share the chores, etc. If you think about it, your idea of empowering must still be tightly related to masculinity, that's why it's probably difficult to imagine a woman being powerful and "girly" at the same time.

[@saekka8537]

@@Isabella-ed8mf That's not equal treatment, that special treatment based on gender. Why is it okay for women to demand stuff based on their gender but when a man does the same thing, they're called 'sexist', 'misogynist', 'oppressing' women with their 'toxic masculinity' etc.? My idea of 'empowerment' is related to self-determination, not masculinity; so no, I don't have difficulty imagining women being powerful and girly at the same time.

[@Isabella-ed8mf]

@@saekka8537 Give me an example of what men demand based on gender. And explain please what women are demanding according to my comment. I haven't said that at all. If you are being called sexist when you demand stuff, it probably means two things: 1. you are acting sexist and 2. you shouldn't demand anything lol. Nobody should. "Special" treatment, no. No "unfair advantages". Different treatment? Possibly, likely. I say so because the dynamic between a couple inside of a relationship/dating context is different than in the workplace. If you give me concrete examples, it's easier for me to express my view, including how it works in my relationship, which goes very much like I said there.

[@tihanablagec9142]

Men talk bad about feminism until it's time to pay rent, then suddenly the hate dissappears lol. I'm not in Finland but let me try to explain. Women in my country work 8+ hours. They come home, cook, clean, take care of kids, take care of her parents or her husbands parents etc. and she's required to pay 50% for food, rent and other life expenses. Meanwhile, the husband comes home from work and does absolutely NOTHING to help her. The amount of women who are overworked is sad.Is that equality? We don't want men who are doormats, we want men who are loyal, sincere and help us around the house without treating us like we're their second mothers.

[@saekka8537]

​@@Isabella-ed8mf When men are advocating for marriage laws to be more fair for men, support groups for men who have been sexually assaulted/raped by women or had difficult divorce or pretty much anything that Men Rights Activists are promoting, they are being either ridiculed, labeled 'sexist', called 'sissies' or cowards, or just ignored. You specifically didn't demand anything, but for example, many women demand higher salaries using the gender pay gap myth or 'pink tax' as an excuse; i.e. demand higher salaries because they are women. The word 'sexist' is being thrown around so loosely these days that it has lost all meaning, pretty much anything that man does and says to a woman is labeled as 'sexist': - man explaining something to woman is 'sexist' - telling a woman she's pretty is 'sexist' - holding a door open for a woman is 'sexist' - helping women lift heavy things is 'sexist' For example, if a man has to speak differently (i.e. tone of voice) to a woman because she's a woman, or man has to behave differently around his male friends if there's a woman present, or if universities/work places favour women applicants more because they are women, then that's differential treatment because of gender.

Not really. This works for girls in poor countries, where your job/status/wealth is very important. Girls in the West all have jobs and can take care of themselves.
