Do GERMANS Want to Date a German or Foreigner?

I asked German men and women on the streets of Munich and Cologne, Germany if they would prefer to date a German or a foreigner. Here is what they had to say.

    • Liked him ยก He's a hot mature man and has traveled so he's experienced and empathic, is he free by any chance ??

    • Hi - your comment is cute โ˜บ โ˜บI want to be your friend and to be real with you, I want to learn honest things and you can feel what I feel. Can we do it? I have feelings about you Oops, sorry./ My name is Yua Cheni Benyi but you can call me Yua. What is your name?

    • Depends i guess
      As a french dude who traveled around Asia, Europe and Oceania I've met many Germans, I lived in Berlin and Hambourg for 6 months as well
      And it's only fair to say that Germans where often the most open-minded and easy to talk to. Really easy to just start a conversation and get along for a drink right away, either as a friend with a dude or for a date with a German beauty

    • โ€‹@@broflo8859Berlin and Hamburg are exactly the two places where you get to meet the most "ungermanized Germans" ๐Ÿ˜‚. They are not representative of the typical German

  • @Dating Beyond Borders - do you think you'll ever do similar street interviews for East/South East/South Asians who either grew up in western countries or naturalized in western countries? I feel like there's a big gap between Asians that are accustomed living in the west, vs Asians who grew up in Asia.

  • funny how they all love spanish and latin american "culture" thinking it's all passions and etc. but when they will realize that they are going to have fiesta every day, and when you have family dinner and all of a sudden half a town shows up. they going to get tired of it very very fast.

    • i used "fiesta" as a metaphor for every day nagging and emotional rollercoaster latin women are famous for. you will get tired from that very fast. there will be days you will be crying to god for a peaceful day. @@Johannathan187

    • Yeah, we throw parties for no reason. If you bought a new car, if you crashed it, you name it, we will just find an excuse to celebrate. The one thing that can drive Germans insane is that we're always late, and I mean 30 minutes or more late. Family gatherings, expect 700 people and lots of food. "May the odds be in your favor"

  • That older guy is wild ๐Ÿ˜‚. Latinos seem to be popular in Europe . Maybe I should leave the US ๐Ÿ˜…

    • Overall true. However, I don't think northern Italy likes them..based off of my travel experience there

    • Latinas Are incredibly popular. My wife who is Mexican is always surprised about all of her countrywomen being considered hot by German men (she is really pretty herself but she sometimes tells me, about certain Mexican girls that they would never be considered guapa in Mexico whereas German men are all over them).

    • @@IzzyChopChop I have heard from many Latinas (friends of my Mexican wife) that they feel they get way more attention from German men than in their home countries. Was quite surprised as they seemed very good looking to me but my wife also said that those wouldnโ€™t be considered pretty in Mexico. Different countries different preferences I guess.

  • These videos have a common trait, theoretically every culture is open to date foreigners but the ideal long term partner is always from your own country because its what you know and its more easy. So all these videos look the same, the only thing that make some stand apart are interesting personal stories of the people that are interviewed, sometimes. Of course falling in love with a foreigner happens everywhere, its just life.

    • I'm German and I've actually never been with a German man. My first boyfriend was Italian and then I just kept dating foreigners. My husband is Greek. I have 8 cousins, of whom 4 are married to a foreigner.
      Half of my childhood friends is also married to a foreigner.
      So from my personal experience I would say that Germans really are very open to marry a foreigner and the ideal for us is not someone from our culture, but more someone we have enough in common to be able to agree on fundamental things and enough difference to be able to learn from each other.
      But maybe my experience is flawed, because I grew up in Munich, where 25% of the population are foreigners, so foreigners feel familiar to us folks from Munich. I could imagine if you grew up in Zwickau it's a bit different.

    • Have they done france? I wonder if the mediterranean countries would be different. Seems they only focus on baltic and scandinavian - but those countries are pretty closed to foreigners.

    • Rubbish. Do you think a German would be as willing to date Thai, Fililipo, or Sri Lankan, as the latter would like to date German? If so, why are Germans in interracial, mostly happen to be middle aged fat divorced men in "relationship" with Thai and Filipina girl half their age?

  • Iยดm Canadian and met my German husband in Canada. we got married 1.5 years after meeting each other. Getting to know a German on an intimate level can be challenging but when you have a Canadian who is more outgoing and open it some how works. we have been married 8 years now and I would say we still have talks about how we culturally view things differently. for example as a German being too direct can be a little hurtful or beating around the bush as a Canadian is frustrating for a German, weยดve learned to be a little of both now.

    • it seems to be the same for all the native english speaking countries: Indirect questions that keep beating arouind the bush rather than asking directly what you wanna know.....I just broke up with my english boyfriend because he found my directness hurtful and i found his beating around the bush infuriating, its like needing a translator and when it happens every other day and turns into a big fight cos of misunderstandings, then its just not worth it...

    • I had a Catalan girlfriend. We were together for 5 years, but in the end the cultural differences were too great. We argued too often and it was better to break up. I was also too direct for her and she was too impulsive over every little thing. I actually wanted to date foreign people, but after this experience I prefer to stick with German women.

  • 23yo. German here I have only dated foreign girls so far but always with a rather similar cultural background. Like Finnish they are reserved too and it takes time to break the ice. Not saying there were no differences at all. Currently dating a Japanese. I gotta say though I would go with anyone I can build a bond with. Neglecting their cultural background.

  • The girl from Isreal nailed it. Most Germans might go on dates with foreigners, it's fun to meet but they don't progress. They are not that flexible, they prefer it easy and with less risk and effort for them in the long term ๐Ÿ‘‰
    Except Berlin... there you get to have 5 relationships at the same time.

  • As a Norwegian I don't care where the lovely ladies are from, as long as they light up a smile when they see me.๐Ÿ˜

    • Typical norwegain narcissist looking for attention and looking to serve their narcissistic suppy. Thanks for highlighting your grandiose needs once again clearly.
      (Now i know youโ€™re gona say โ€˜thanksโ€™ and then โ€˜you know a lotโ€™ then โ€˜you assume a lotโ€™ โ€˜ put me in a place where you think you know me and make me question myself like you are a superior teacher making me think of myself)
