I'm American so I'm not familiar with tikkie. Why would it be considered rude? Just curious.

@@frankiecharles5420 Tikkie is used if you want to split the bill. You can share the bill equally, each paying half, or you can calculate what each of you have consumed and pay exactly that. But to arrange something in that way without having consulted the other first, is considered rude. The other must have a say as well in how the bill is going to be paid.

5:32 No way this is true. Two Dutch people talking Dutch in front of a Non-Dutch speaker would be considered extremely rude in Holland. They would immediately switch to English to include him in the conversation as the Dutch are multilingual and are typically very capable of talking English

[@tdsdesa]

I have lived 2 years in the Netherlands and I disagree. In an informal context it's not uncommon to be surrounded by dutchies speaking dutch despite internationals are present in the group. And honestly I think there is nothing wrong with that because if you live in the Netherlands you should be expected to learn the language a little bit.

[@YellowravenRS]

As an expat I disagree with this as well, a lot of time people will speak Dutch to me when I speak English, even one on one. :p

[@sapnanayak1453]

I disagree I had Dutch classmates in the UK and they were very curt to put it lightly. You tried to initiate conversation and they answer that question or give a short response and then continue to speak in Dutch with other Dutchies without even looking or acknowledging your presence. Atleast for me, they were very 'exclusive'. None of the other international *and* UK classmates spoke to them either after *repeated attempts*. Honestly I don't understand why they come to study in diverse countries like the UK if they don't want to interact with atleast the UK people. The Dutch should learn some common courtesy and manners, because at some point it isn't being direct but rather about using that as an excuse to be rude and dismissive. Please don't come at me for stating my experience.

[@AloysioWisnu]

Are there any differences between Dutch people in Netherland and Dutch people in Belgium? Thank you 😊

[@ChPonsard]

There are definitely cultural differences between Dutch-speaking Belgians and the Dutch. Historically Belgians are catholics, and the Dutch protestants, which was a driver in the 19th century for the Belgian independence movement. The Dutch have a relatively long history of self-governance and economic power, while Dutch-speaking Belgians live in a territory that has historically been under the governance of people who didn't speak Dutch. Belgium has been on the border of Germanic and Latin culture for ages, and so this nudged Germanic-focused Dutch-speaking Belgians a bit to a more South-European style of doing things. The result is that you can hear the Dutch say of Dutch-speaking Belgians that they are more 'Bourgondic', while Belgians would call the Dutch more 'business-minded'. Overall the differences are relatively small though, given that both share an uninterrupted language territory and millenia old intensive trade relations.

So that was my mission, I took it literal: give my opinion, that is what he wanted. I read some parts of the story and told him I liked it but he would need to improve it because there were a lot of spelling mistakes in it, and the plot didnt add up in my opinion. I also said that it needed to be more original. He didnt really say much after that and then left. Later a common friend texted me that the guy really just wanted some encouragement, and I felt so bad for not understanding

Well, as a Turk, and obviously from a very different culture, I kinda think you're not to feel sorry. Because you just did what he asked for, instead of giving up mixed singles like some teenage girl, he could've asked like an adult whether you think he has potential based on what he's written, which would cause you to review his work way differently I hate it when people expect me to be responsible for their emotions

I'm American and not hereditarily Dutch, but this matches my dating style the closest. I like to have a friendly, equal footing with the people I'm dating before I allow things to become serious. I'm also super excited whenever I get to plan dates. FYI, are there any apps like Tiki (spelling?) in America to pay for bills equally on dates? There should be.

[@andersonboy620]

awesome video, thanks!!

[@FifaKiddd]

The planning ahead thing is so true lol

[@kennethvanleeuwen3122]

It's all true. However, we do have a food culture, but thats more focussed on dinner instead of lunch.

[@tessameijerink1710]

True, back in the days it was the complete opposite. Lunch was the "big" meal of the day and dinner was actually some (soup with) bread slices (for example). The reason why it changed was because of the business. People got longer days at work and couldn't eat a whole meal at work. So they switched it. I have no idea if we are the only one who switched it (because I don't think so XD). Further more, my breakfast and lunch are most of the time the same. Bread. Dinner is a different story. I love it when my dad makes food :O

[@lordbunbury]

BesteKanaal1 Brabant and Limburg?

[@simonkraemer3725]

@@tessameijerink1710 interesting, in Germany the "big" meal is still centered around lunch time, we often have canteens at our workplace so we can keep this up. Just if you invite people to come over it tends to be around dinner time. I'm always hungry when I'm in another country and there the big meal is at dinner time.

[@Mandolorian149]

Somehow, some traits are common among German girls as well. The planning and the chill look are often visible out in the cities.

That might be true, but as a Dutchman I think the Dutch take that attitude up another notch. We can be direct to the point of appearing rude (without intending to be).

I live in Northwest Germany (Oldenburg), it is maybe 100km from the dutch border. I studied two semesters in Groningen many years ago. I love, I really love dutch girls, but I was never really in contact / touch with them. Most dutch women are so hot and they have a fantastic clothing style. I really want to have a dutch friend. :)

[@karllarsen8797]

Are you ethnically German yourself? I spent only a short period of time travelling in the Netherlands and a bit longer in Germany. My tentative impression is that on average Germans are more helpful and therefore kinder than the Dutch. Is that also your impression? Talking about girls: I was not all that impressed by the Dutch girls. The beautiful Dutch girls that I saw on some random KZbin videos are very beautiful but I did not see many of them when I traveled in the Netherlands. I think there are more beautiful Danish girls per capita than in the Netherlands. I prefer the facial beauty of the Danish girls more than that of the Dutch girls.

That was fun to watch. I had the opportunity to visit Den Hague many years ago on business. I was warned about this little cultural difference about sandwiches in advance, but it felt quite odd to eat a sandwich with a knife and fork.

[@yltraviole]

Well, that's quite unusual in the Netherlands, though I did have a friend in high school whose family would eat sandwiches with a knife and fork. They were very fancy.

I really enjoy your videos about men dating women in other countries! The women are facinating and very beautiful. The differences in cultures are amazing and I think that it is so refreshing that you add humor to what you are presenting. Thank you so very much for sharing the differences from different cultures. Still must also include that you (The host) are also very beautiful and all of the women you have included in all of your videos are beautiful also. Thank you so very much for sharing!!

Great video. Im a Dutch woman myself, but I went to see if there were funny video's about us.

Needless to say, *this* video was a very welcome surprise. Well done! You've perfectly captured our shared personality-traits!

Being equal to our partners is seen as 'not feminine' by some of the reactions here. Thats so so sad.

[@WobblyCube]

@@hirsizvar9835 it is not meant as equal in gender. Just in status, no one is the boss of the other. You do things together. It means a woman can help herself too and work too. And a working woman does not mean she doesn't do anything in the house. So I don't see why this would make her useless. In fact this makes her even more useful.
