Do Norwegians Want to Date a Local or Foreigner?

Norwegians are known for their reserved nature and colder temperament. Men and women are equal, so as a woman you shouldn't expect the man to open the doors and paying for your meals. So.. how do Norwegians feel about this? Would they rather date someone from their own culture or do they prefer the exotic factor of the foreigners?

Dating Beyond Borders is a Youtube channel that focuses on highlighting the cultural differences that come into play while dating people from other countries.

Happy Thursday everyone! This is the first video from my European series. It is a different style that I have been doing lately so let me know if you like it!❤ More countries to come 😊

[chloeanastasia]

Love the openness of the Norwegians you interviewed ! Being able yo criticise the downside of your culture is a great sign of humbleness and willingness to improve

I laughed so hard with the bear waving back

[mimistar]

Oh my gosh the way you edited in the meme videos had me laughing so much 🤣🤣🤣. Honestly, this put a smile on my face after a very difficult day.

[xman]

I definetly like the style it's very refreshing meanwhile still being informative and humorous.

Another great video. Keep up the great work. As a Californian, that cut in of the woman bragging about getting the rose hurt, lol. Like OMG did it hurt, lol.

Marina, I'm a fan of Dating beyond borders since at least 6 or 7 years, I always like any new format you introduce, this format give better perspective since we listen to opinion of diverse people from same country/culture, well done Marina keep up :)

I'm Brazilian, married to Norwegian for 7 years now and very happy! It is definitely really interesting to learn about each other's cultures.
Some of our early on misunderstandings were actually just our cultural expectations. Communication is key!

I think mostly of the people in the world not necessarily from the same country, but people with similar cultures and customs

[lizziecallaghan]

This is so interesting and I would love to see more of this style of video 😊
And as someone who is not from Norway but from literally the other side of the world in little NZ, learning Norwegian and thinking of living there one day this is very good to know
Keep up the good work ✌️

I get what the guy said about the cultural exchange aspect of dating. It adds to any relationship for sure, whether intimate or friendship.

Happy Thursday, Marina! Sending my love ❤ from Miami, Florida, USA 🇺🇲

[tobiojo]

Awesome video and cool concept: keep making more videos like this

[Sammi_Kristiansen]

Takk! Thank you! I look forward to your videos in Sweden and Estonia

[slapshot]

Enjoying the new style marina. Keep it up.

[letslearnEnglish]

Let's appreciate Marina that, she has gone to Norway to film this video for us..❤ You are amazing

[smugggles]

As a Mexican soon-to-be-married to a Norwegian, i do think norwegians are calm and reserved but i love that! Culture differences can be difficult sometimes but that's the fun of it!

[nilssveinsson]

I am mixed race from the northern part of Norway where we are considered more rustic and open. This was a fun video and it's good to have some self distance and be honest with your culture. It always comes down to personality and yes the editing was class.

Yes, some of my Norwegian bros do need the alcohol to open up. Once you're friends with a Norwegian, Finn or a Swede then they are friends for life.

Without Norwegian men getting with Norwegian women there wouldn't be anymore Norwegians cherish the unique beauty and diversity of the world remember its not like going to the shop and buying a gucci handbag once its gone its gone forever ✝️❤

If the sweetest and most loving woman is Norwegian then must be Norwegian. I found latino heat is exagerated and many latina women surprisingly cold and many white americans and european and asian women very sweet and empathic.
