Do Dutch Men Actually “Go Dutch”?

I interview Dutch men on the streets of Utrecht to find out if Dutch men actually "Go Dutch" aka split the bill on the first date. How much truth is in that stereotype when it comes to the Dutch dating culture?

  • Happy Friday, Marina! Going Dutch is a good sign of respect whether you are out on a date with a woman or out with group of friends

  • I was asked to split the cost when one housemate made me pancakes the first day at my studentenhuis (I’m not Dutch). I was taken aback because it was a small amount of money but I didn’t say anything or get offended or anything. Just the Dutch way I guess. In time I grew to appreciate the simplicity and directness of that approach and I can say I never had tension or hard feelings the whole year I was there with my housemates, everything ran smoothly and it was good vibes.
    Better than being all chummy and then it turns out to be fake af.

    • ​This is the weirdest take I've ever seen... Dutch/Deutsch/Duutsch/Duits/Diets/Tysk/Tedesco they all mean the same thing in different languages and were used to refer to the non-Latin speaking people in the northern part of the HRE. The reason that "Dutch" in English has come to refer exclusively to the people in the Netherlands is because the Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden was the first state, in the 1500's, to become independent of the Empire, and was the only "Dutch" speaking state to be involved in international trade and warfare and colonialism. They were the only "Dutch" that were present on the international stage and they were locked in a fierce colonial rivalry with the British. So over time, "Dutch" in English became understood to refer only to Nederlanders. Then when Deutschland unified in the 19th century, the English world started using the ancient Roman name for them: Germany. ​But Germans call themselves "Deutsch" and are called "Duits" in Dutch, while the Dutch call themselves "Nederlands" and the Germans call them "Niederländisch". It has nothing to do with American slang, this use of "Dutch" in the US is just left over from the time that there was not yet a difference between "Dutch" and "German". @@DatingBeyondBorders

  • Well, aside the expression "go dutch" which means to split the bill, I have heard that Dutch people even ask their guests to afford their part whenever they throw a party.😮

    • Yes, if you follow the link under the video it takes you to the full video which is all about Dutch attitude to money: from dating to hospitality

  • why they call it Dutch? Everyone does this in Denmark It's a sign of respect. If you dont respect them you just let them take the bill
