I ask Varpu, a Finnish creator living around Helsinki about how the gender equality has impacted life in Finland. Are Finnish men rude in not opening the door or offering to help with heavy luggage? What is "sisu" and what does it show about the Finnish mentality?

I wonder if that mentality also makes them more likely to be single? Are there a lot of people there who choose to stay single there for their entire lives?
My friend is Swedish and he says thatโs why thereโs a lot of single Swedes ๐
I don’t get kt
He puts a smiley face at the end๐๐๐
Hmmm๐
Just because someone doesn’t ask for help, doesn’t mean they don’t need it. Even in Finland.
Plz.give me a fin bf
Thx
What she said about politeness is true. I fell out with a Finnish friend because l found her direct to the point of rudeness.
I lived in Finland for 10 long years… I can say if you ask for help it’s also looked down upon and people often do not help others even if you ask. As a foreigner who married a fin, you can expect it to be an issue culturally in your relationship. Especially if you ask for help or for them to do things. Their response will often be why can’t you do it yourself…
You can also be seen as lazy if you need help or can’t do something yourself. Old people are often not cared for by younger ones and put to old people homes instead and never visited either is a norm. This culture in Finland has only been since the second world war. And the doors being not opened is only since feminism was so heavily pushed. I personally think it’s a bit of a rude society and it comes across that way to people visiting also. Fins don’t like Russians, but I personally find russians are more friendly than fins.
Maybe they wanted to blast away anything of the russian culture on their own, including door openings. Maybe they felt that made them too much like Russians.๐
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Lots of truth to this.
In Sweden, for ex. there are so many old people dying alone and staying in their flats for days, that there are services to help with the aftermath. As many as 1 in 10 are buried with no family or friends present.
in Japan services for the dead are also very common.. It’s definitely very alarming.
I have heard the idea of “hiding old people” in the Netherlands. Not hiding exactly but they are made to feel they shouldn’t interfere with the younger people. How true it is I am not sure but I heard it from the Dutch.
Whereas going to parties in Portugal or Italy or Latin America etc you have friends and family and grandmas and grandpas all eating and dancing away together; being part of the fun. Makes sense there is less depression .

Hmmm, what sad society
It’s not a country of polite and warm people. That’s all i can say.
So asking for help is a weakness after all? I knew those therapist were lying to me

Filipinos canโt survive in Finland๐. Itโs imbedded in our culture to help and be needed. Living alone specially if you are an elderly is not normal for us.
So nice…๐
Thank god it is like that! Kindness, wanting to help others, taking responsibility are great values.
And let’s not forget that the elders are the ones who raised our generations, so they deserve to be cared for.

We believe in the saying that “No man is an island.”
True but as a Filipino, it’s best to strike a balance between helping neighbors and family and tolerating laziness, ungratefulness, and incompetentce in our society. Yes, we are known for being kind, friendly, and sweet but so many people also use that to manipulate and take advantage of others.
So sad,poor girl๐ข
This sounds sad to me. But I’m Italian, so my culture is diametrally opposite than theirs. But I love to help others and I’m grateful for a kind gesture from a stranger person who sees I’m in need of something.
Italy has the nicest people Ive met abroad. If I move from the US Ill live in Italy
Iโm American, and I feel the same
These people are descendants of Vikings. They’ll be alright.
Pretty much the same for the Dutch.
I visited Finland and the people are all nice. I have a special needs son and all were warm to him and kind to him. Also, many children shared things with him which he didnโt ask for such as sleds (a lot). Maybe if you donโt come off needy they are kind because now they donโt feel used??? So the kindness was more genuine since I didnโt ask or demanded anything.
chivalry, not politeness
Very bad people and society
Miss you, Carly
Netherlands is similar
