I like how the lady from Italy stepped backwards during the split the bill question 😂
Ha ha true
And how intensely she was looking at the Hungarian guy when he went ” man must be a gentleman every time”. Like “Okay you can take me out” lol
Yeah, it’s called prostitution
🤦♂️When you pretend men to pay for you in exchange for sex is called prostitution and for an illusion of sex is called scam.

the italian lady is literally lois griffin
Oh dang, 😮
Who did you resonate with the MOST in the video? 🌎
Curious all these nationalities traditionally had a majority of Catholic population.
Don’t they still do?
@@lxportugal9343 especially Italy I’d say
Especially moral values, they should have the same.
@lxportugal9343 France has a very prominent agnostic and atheist population.
Spain has a large number of non-practicing Catholics, who typically don’t go to church and disagree with many catholic sentiments.
@@devinmes1868 non-practicing Catholics…are still Catholics
Thank you so much Marina for talking to us at the end of the video. I look forward to your vlog videos in Sweden and Norway. Safe trips!
Happy Thursday, Marina! Wishing you a wonderful week and sending my love ❤ from Miami, Florida, USA 🇺🇲. To me, I don’t expect a woman to pay on a first date but it is a nice gesture if she decides to contribute and it’s also important to know that the date is going well and that the vibes are there between the woman and I. I have been in a relationship a Spanish 🇪🇸 woman and her and I are completely different but we balance each other with our personalities like fire 🔥 and ice ❄ and I’m more the mellow type of guy. Keep bringing these videos Marina and keep up the good work. Bravissima 🙏🏻
Very fun episode! Nice people! Beautiful accents, all of them! ❤
And yes when I lived in Germany and Austria, I never could tell who was a couple! As a southern European that was quite odd to me! And Spaniards, Hungarians, Irish and French were the friends I hang out with. I think culturally we meshed very well together. Also the Irish people hang out with the southern Europeans and NOT with the British or Americans, I found that very amusing! 😊
The Hungarian looks like Hector Lavoe.
As an American woman, I liked how the Hungarian and Irish men thought. I guess a bit more traditional, you could say? I love seeing all the different points of view and the beautiful accents! ✌💖
Haley Anne Your Right En I Appreciate
I think it all originates in the respect: to your own self, to your parents, to your family, to the other person. Of course people are free to get married or not, to start a family or not, but if you go in life respectfully with your moral values , big chances are that you will have the key to have later and forever a loving, and caring family.
I agree! (also from US btw)
Traditional is staying a virgin until marriage.
If you already spread your legs, you are not traditional.
And if you expect anything material (like a plate of food), for your company during dinner, you are literally an escort. Possibly a prostitute.
It’s disrespectful to the woman to split the bill. Unless you don’t wanna be equal.
Love the video and the energy! People were super nice! Another great work by DBB!
I’m Irish-Portuguese and because both countries have a huge Catholic influence, I was raised in a more traditional way in regard to dating. I was taught that a man should always strive to be the best version he can be when courting a lady. Be a gentleman, a provider, a protector. Make sure she’s happy, feeling loved, and safe. That also goes for inviting women out. I personally think a good man will gladly pay for a nice dinner with the lady he chose to invite out on a date.
My grandpa used to tell me that “if you are man enough to choose to fall in love with a woman, be man enough to take care of her.” And I think the old man was right all along!
and what about the women ? is she in the kitchen like in the middle ages ?
Aw, love your grandpa’s advice❤. I agree, too.
@@ilhuicatlamatini on a more serious note I would like to ask as a 26 years old grandpa – are there any roles for women ? Since men are the protectors, providers and thousands other roles combined etc …. where is the equality here ?
Portugal has been changing very quickly fortunately 👍
@@dominicdannies7482they must be alive. That’s their only obligation for a relationship 😂
I think what the spanish girl said was accurate to the average spaniard; expecting the guy to pay for the bill is seem as entitled. People get engaged in their late 20s/early 30s, you’re seem as CRAZY if you marry someone without having already lived with them beforehand, if people (most i would say) marry in the church is for aesthetic reasons or to please their grandma/mom. There is no concept of ‘dating’ we call it ‘going out with someone’ until you guys decide to ‘be together’, but the point at which exclusivity starts depends on the person, the age, the context… is always best to explicitly talk about it, but it’s usually expected early on if you keep ‘going out’.
One night stands are common when going out clubbing.
Yeah so it’s just as degenerate as the rest of the west….. shame
@@manchesterunited4619lol they are proud of being degenerate
🤦♂️When you pretend men to pay for you in exchange for sex is called prostitution and for an illusion of sex is called scam.
So to avoid women in Spain that have slept with many guys, you should try to find the ones that don’t go clubbing, right?
@@LCdic09ust avoid spain and do us a favor
I would say I resonated most with the Hungarian gentleman. I wasn’t expecting that, but how cool to know!
Interesante y genial video, me parece muy curioso mirar perspectivas de diferentes nacionalidades. En México, sin generalizar, se mira bien que el hombre pague por el tema “caballerosidad”, aunque yo creo que no debería ser cuestión de género nada, más bien todo en un común acuerdo como pareja.

It’s good to see my home country (HU) represented. I hope to see more.
Thank you so much Marina You are Awesome as always, very happy to see you
As a Spaniard, I think the Spanish girl represented us accurately. People from the countryside may disagree, but most of the population lives in urban regions
Agree
what a shame, as a latino from the America’s its sad to see Spain turn too liberal and lose its traditions@@miguelberdia5511
thats such a sad way of life ngl
@@marvin2678 Yeah honeslty… I moved to Spain a year ago from Poland and between Spanish guys and Latin guys, judging by my experience, I definitely prefer the Latin ones.
The stereotypes about “passion” and “fun” Spanish people.. I just don’t see that at all.
Maybe it’s just Madrid tho, but the guys seem super passive.
@@ari_jean oh No i meant sleeping around with so many people frequently that you some how have a Talk about how your exclusive now…interesting Expience tho from your Side
About the talk to determine whether you’re exclusive or not, I think most times it comes down to the individual. I am Spanish, and to be honest, I think most people would expect you to respect whatever you’re starting with them even before the talk, but I know others don’t; that’s why it’s important to have that talk so that everyone is on the same page. But I moved to the UK, and it was kind of similar; again, it depended on the individual, some wouldn’t have the talk but talked to other people (you kind of had to read between the lines sometimes XD), others didn’t have the talk but respected the relationship, and others after admitting they weren’t even sure how things worked anymore in this respect did want to have the talk just to be sure that they weren’t being misled.
El hecho de que el hombre no lo pague todo en España es porque hubo una época en la que ser rico era ser prácticamente un Dios, entonces se empezó a ver como algo clasista.
Creedme que esto es algo reciente. Además, la mujer española es ampliamente independiente y poco interesada, no necesita expresamente a nadie para que se gaste el dinero en sus caprichitos.
Vivaaaa
Yeah the Hungarian guy is spot on with the Hungarian attitudes.
One thing I personally have not experienced is girls taking advantage of this and trying to get like a free meal or something. And yeah it’s not every time by any stretch of the word. Like he said, it’s just the first 2-3 dates. Then you go 50-50 or sometimes the girl pays if you’ve been dating for a long time. I’ve been dating a girl for 3 years and it’s usually like if we go somewhere then I pay for lunch, she pays for the museum tickets and snacks, etc.
sounds like a healthy social norm in my opinion
Definitely Hungarian guy answers are the sweetest and most gentlemen like. As a women you would feel more secure then a Spanish approach I think.
