Hardest Part of Dating in Norway as a Russian
Dating in Norway as a Russian can be quite a culture shock. Katya shares her experiences of living in Norway for nine years and the challenges she faced in relationships. From questioning traditional gender roles to the reserved nature of the people, she gives us a fascinating insight into the dating scene in Norway.
Vikings, invite Katya for a cup of coffee : )
They used to be Vikings, now they’re Cats
Vikings!! 😂😂
There’re no vikings anymore.
They are a bunch of wussies nowadays.
Too fat
We don’t owe this Russian woman anything.
The basic lesson here applies to so many things, from gender roles in society to dating to cultural and societal pressures and norms to act in certain ways. So many things aren’t objectively right or wrong versus merely how everyone else is doing it and how others expect us to act, think, dress, look, and feel.
Yeah.. i’d still chose russia over norway
@@skushy4122 you like household violence ?
@@marvin2678 so what you’re saying is in Russia there is household violence in every family because the man is in charge ? Thats probably why every western country is falling appart
@@marvin2678 Not woke mindset I suppose
well i dont blame norwegian women because its a rela issue that some men expect more just ebcause the bought a drink
Imagine going out to drink in the first place
Because you love getting free treats
Good points she mentioned
We will all adjust and grow and be fine as a species. Women dont have to shrink, and men dont have to stop being confident.
Except a confident man is considered toxic.
@@taralalram nobody have considered it – only toxic men are considered toxic. If they want to go back into the old times beating up women in a marriage for example. Also if you are an equal partner to your wife in everything you are considered strong from the society.
She spoke English so good for a Russian who lives in Norway😮
Why? You obviously know nothing. Most of people in Norway and Sweden speak fluent English. 🤦🏻♂️
I smell an American who thinks they are the only one who speaks English 😅
@@creeyativwrld7633 lol
uh.. scandanavians speak better English than some native English speakers, and Russians are taught English in school as well
@@alexanderandersson9476 Go back to sleep bro, you need it😂
Nobody should rule a relationship, the “ruling” of it should be equal
The very fact that she uses the word “rule” in a relationship is very telling imo. A relationship shouldn’t be something to rule over. -_-
@@99timewaster Exactly: communcation, concent, respect and equality, that’s the key
The man should be in the masculine role and lead the relantionship, it’s in our nature and how it works for most people, of couse, each one is free to do what they want
@@wagner9527 What? For starters, the gender goes out of the window this days: cis man, cis woman, trans man, trans woman, non-binary, gender-fluid … doesn’t matter, Oh! And that without talking about the orientation: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, queer, asexual… The list goes on and on. That if you are assuming that it’s just a couple, it can be three people in a relationship, an open relationship, etc.
Having said that, and going back to the “traditional” genders and the “traditional” couples, for years women have allowed men to be the head of the family, to be the strong one, but they have always been the neck, and they have turned the head wherever they wanted. Men were the musle, women were the brain.
Women fought for the right to vote and they didn’t stop until they got it. Women fought for the right to work, to be able to have the same jobs and still fighting for the same salaries as men. The majority of inhabitants in this world are women with a longer life expectancy, which gives us power. However, do you wanna know what we are using it for? Not for to be on top, to rule the world, to rule a relationship, we use it to fight for equality, that’s what we wanted, we want and we’ll always want. So once again, nobody should rule in a relationship, those are based on: equality, respect, communication, concent…
Best regards from Barcelona!
@@judna1 For Woke people who have lived in their bubbles for too long: There’s something in biology known as Testosterone and Strogeny and they determine most of men and women behavior since pre-history, this is not a matter of opinion, men have higher levels of testosterone which predicts some characteristics such as assertiveness. People can do as they please but you cannot escape your evolutionary roots just because your ideology says so, that’s why frequently women are not happy with men in these countries, because of the mass pussyfication of men in modern society. Regards from the Real World.
It sounds like dating is super broken in Norway
It’s broken everywhere where feminism thrives
@@kkk2419that’s a lie. Without feminism there’s more domestic violence towards wives, which considering your hatred for feminism, you wouldn’t oppose to.
@@holyshititsatalkingmuffin9788 whatever helps you sleep🤣
Broken in what way? Because women aren’t owed anything for simply being women? Only weak men put women on pedestals and bow down before them.
@@kkk2419
And yet, everyone is running to live in those feminist countries
Equality comes with responsibility.
Facts
You got the phrase wrong. Is power. With power comes responsibility
and it’s their culture, so leave them alone
there’s a lot of countries that it’s not like that and it’s not like they better off
@@marquiscrumpton4673 I can’t believe you just agreed with a 12 year old
That says what I already kinda of knew
Agree
I just learned so much about Russia and Norway
For somethings men have to rule the relationship and in some other matters women rule. Each one in their spaces.
No, women only think they rule anything. A man can enforce everything including access to sex if he wanted to go along the natural state of affairs.
What about gay couples?
@@yourdream8727top and bottom lol
The word “rule” feels wierd in this context
Norwegian women have throughout history lived with men who were fishermen and sailors. They were not at home for months at the time, sometimes they even were away for years. How should they rule their wives while on the other side of the ocean? Norwegian women have therefore always been independent and capable of taking care of ourselves.
As a Norwegian man, I’m so glad we’re not like Russians. There domestic violence is legalised, Russian women are fleeing from their own men and moving to western Europe, and many of them are selling their bodies. Very sad. It doesn’t seem very “traditional” to me.
I find it interesting that women think they are owed to be approached or owed free dinners and coffee. If you want a coffee date, you can go ahead and ask. Nobody is stopping you. Women like her claim they want to be equal yet make special demands of men. You can’t have both equality and special treatment.
I always say, there is a reason why everyone wants to live in countries that are considered feminist.
You won’t get an expensive and exclusive dinner, but you will get the best women’s rights, the smallest pay gap between men and women, the longest maternity leave and your partner’s paternity leave. Between the dinner and this listed, I think it isn’t difficult to guess what I would choose.
Exactly , and people from other countries say that parts of Western Europe are too feminized in terms of gender roles yet that’s sometimes the exact thing they live to move there for, the societies are more calm, better designed for life balance , more social safety net.
@@hirsch4155
I agree completely
@@Commentator488nobody does 😂
That’s why they’re leaving California and New York 😂
Longest maternity leave is actually in Bulgaria. Rather the opposite of feminist country 😂@@Commentator488
she is talking about Chivalry ,not to “rule over” but apparently feminists in the western world killed it.
Chivalry is unfortunately extinct in egalitarian societies.The men in such societies are regulated to being simps.
Chival men are men who want to put you in a box, a woman can also open the door for a man.
@@charliebritger4622Women don’t even like simps. They want sex and they want it without working for it. Call it like it is it’s happening in every country not just US. It’s how GenZ men choose to be.
@@charliebritger4622
Stop calling men who can find a girlfriend simps, is not their fault that you can’t
We don’t want chivalry, she can have it tho.
We want this society as it is. No one is forced to live in Scandinavia, so find a country that suits you more.
Norwegian men turned from ruthless vikings to adorable kittens (they’re cute af)
No , they’re egalitarian simps .
😂😂😂
They are like little women now ,its fascinating to observe 😂
😂😂
So weak then
I met a guy from Austria years ago who watered down his apple juice. He said it’s how they prefer it at home. Years later, I found out that even his wife laughed at him. Be careful what you learn from just one European.
I’m German and apple juice with sparking water is definitely and irrevocably a staple in the German cuisine 😂 they even sell it at the store, idk why his wife would laugh at him.
Well, Norway is finished
Yuepp
LMAO clown mode full on.
the Scandinavian form of masculinity and feminity sounds like the IDEAL. both are equal partners
Yup
I saw arabic written in the background 💀
kinda hard to say that after having a conversation with almost anyone who actually lives yhere
I wouldn’t have guessed it was Norway from the arabic sign behind
why? i dont think theres a single large city in this world outside of north korea where there isnt a sizable muslim population. makes sense given it is the second most followed religion in the world, and the fastest growing.
@@renata-tsekhanovetskaya Arab language does not equal muslim, also Muslim religion is corrupted and falls apart.
Wow! She is so empathetic. She sounds like a keeper.
Meanwhile i starred dating a typical independent Danish girl as a Latino, showed her how happier life is when you accept traditional roles and reject modernity and we couldn’t be happier
She ismt typical trust me
She’s a beautiful soul
