''danes does not like to talk to strangers'' - this goes for every scandinavian country.

[bimscutney]

I think this should be called “You’ll never know when you’re dating a Danish woman”

[tracycarmack]

"Danish culture is all about blending in... get ready to see a lot of dark colours and shapeless clothes".
(shows woman with shocking platinum white hair)

[Vasileski]

Not down for holding hands, but down for casual sex... Makes perfect sense.

[Legionzzzz]

gotta be honest with you Danish women remind a lot of my cat.

[ingridalves]

Definitly not the country I would like to live. As a brasilian woman I had problems to make friends in Germany, it took so long. You feel like you don't fit anywhere. Everybody has a best friend and it's very hard to get into a friendship circle. But in the Scandinavian country it seems to be almost impossible. Life is too short for that 😜

[ricardosotosan]

if you act like that guy when dating girls from every culture, you're going to get rejected.

[driftspark]

so its basically like having a cat...
dont touch the cat but if mood swings cat can sit on your head...

[BeautyLilya]

I died at the: “get ready to see a ton of dark colors and shapeless clothes.”


😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👌🏻 spot on.

[fad]

I lived in Denmark for 12 years. Impossible to make friends when you're a foreigner. You have always this feeling, you don't fit in.

This video was pretty accurate for Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

1 One key factor is that you will have to spend time to become "friends" with people so they let you in to the inner circle otherwise you are a stranger and people do not talk to strangers unless you ask for directions etc. This is not hard it just takes some time. It is a bit more easy to talk to people who are drinking in a bar, or if they are drunk. That is when people become "over the top" friendly.
2 And as a general rule almost everyone does consume alcohol and most people do not care that much about fashion.
3 You will have to get used to the cold during winter in the north, but it is similar to Canada and Russia.
4 Everyone is more or less "laid back" and a lot of people like sports. Sweden and Finland are crazy for Hockey.
5 Everyone understands plain English more or less, it is mostly the old generation that do not understand or speak English.
6 In Finland everyone has a sauna or access to one that is not far away.
7 Equality and independence is high in Nordic region. "Hygge" is also a big part of the region.
8 Sweden has a lot more people with immigration background going back 40 years, at least in the larger city regions. Similar to the immigration wave that USA experienced way back in the day.

Think I covered most things touched on in this video or missing.

From my point of view, she wasn't really feeling him at all.

[hilokal]

You make it looks like a puzzle, my advice is: forget about it! Mediterranean girls are much much away lovely and warm

[buu]

The girl in the thumbnail looks 20 and 70 at the same time.

I feel like Northern European women all act the same. I got the same vibes from Dutch, German, and Swedish women. They are always dressed like hipsters, they can come across as arrogant or cold but they are very straightforward when they like you.

[-pyrosef-]

so the rule of thumb for Danes is to just get them drunk?

[michaelalbano]

Here in Brazil it is the opposite. if you don't talk to strangers in line at the market or some public place, people will think you're hiding something.

[Mob-tqgv]

As a Norwegian living in Oslo I love the older look of Copenhagen I also like the futuristic look of Oslo but it also has its historical places.

[Motivator]

After watching this, one should ask himself "why dating a Danish woman?" This clip dosn't do justice to Danish women, when I was visiting the country they were really friendly and well mannered. You want to describe them as independent and free women (and they are! ) but you make them appear just as unfriendly and impolite when sober, brave and self confident when drunk. It's a bit out of line.

Not all women in Denmark are like this, id definitely agree that all nordics dislike talking to strangers, everyone’s a lot more reserved but that doesn’t mean they think they’re better than you or antisocial. It’s more of a mutual understanding that most people when out and about are probably doing something else. If you’re at a bar or something like that you’re more likely to be able to talk to people, just go to places where people are looking for company instead of stopping strangers on the street who’re probably busy 😂😂
