    That Italian dude needs an entire show to himself. The hand movements, the expressions, the flair lol Man said maybe in 8 years or more…. My friends you don’t control this stuff, when it comes your way make the most of it, be present and go with it …or don’t but no one can predict when it comes.

    Blond girl saying Hungarians don’t get sarcasm might be more of a language issue if she doesn’t speak Hungarian and they don’t speak English well . From my experience Hungarians are very sarcastic , way more than the typical American , however I understand the language .

    • @karinneeskens says:

      Sarcasm and sarcastic are not the same…

    • @justaguy9224 says:

      We Hungarians are almost as sarcastic as Brits.

    • @agotahorvath says:

      @@karinneeskens Blindingly brilliant addition to my comment ! (stated in a sarcastic tone) Typically sarcastic people actually get others sarcasm . It’s a witty means of communicating . I doubt Blondie speaks Hungarian so she likely doesn’t get an insiders view into the culture and the Hungarians she might be dating may not be able to understand what she is saying in English or express themselves in English. It takes a level of fluency in a language to be able to get sarcasm , be sarcastic and have it understood .

    Yeah it’s very accurate 🙂 I’m from PL, and it’s rather normal, that in first few weeks of dating, you’ll be asked for your plans or so. Ok, maybe not to live together, but at least of your plans. I rather wonder why all these people are so surprised. Isn’t it obvious, that when you don’t clarify your expectations on your own, when you are constantly “walking around the garden”, you’ll be asked straightforward to do that? Just: bro, name your needs, directions and values in your life 🙂 if you don’t know them, so how do you want to build a relationship? You want only affair, or what? What do you need me for? What are those meetings about?

    Ofc things are changing, and younger generations introduce more of those “situationships” or ghosting used as default method of managing relations, but it’s still seen as sth ridiculous and sort of disorder. On the other hand – the younger the person, the easier to talk about emotions straightforward, which older people usually can’t do.

    I’m moving to Norway, and my first priority is to have a handful of meaningful and close relations. It costs a lot of hustle and frustration, but there is no other way to meet my needs there. I understand that independence is a part of Norwegian culture, but it comes with loneliness as a cost, which I don’t want to pay. I don’t need that much of independence 🙂 Norwegian culture have a lot to offer, but its attitude towards relations is not its strongest part, so I decided to not take it for me 🙂

  • @Limpi43 says:

    The things ain’t that good with the marriage rate as you’d think. As great as that 6.7 looks now (compare to Latvia’s 4.7), the truth is that marriage rates been dropping since the 70s; from 9.9 (1975) to 3.6 (2010-12). From 1996 to 2015 never been more than 4.7 (Latvia’s “worse” today in Europe), 2009-2014 it was even below 4.

    The goverment in 2015 decided to give money to young, married couple who promise they’d have a child (more children = more money). That is the reason why the marriage rate went up, not because people want to be married.
    And it looks like the bubble has burst already: 2021 – 7.5, 2022 – 6.7, 2023 – 5.2 (for 1000 people).

    • @judithargitay9860 says:

      True. I’m Hungarian, aged 51, and have a 34 yo brother. In his surroundings I know plenty of rushed marriages made only for the so called “child benefit”, that all ended in divorce within 1-2 years. The problem is that when you apply for the benefit, you oblige yourself to stay married and have three kids with your spouse in 10 years of time. So the young, divorced couples are in a huge mess these days as they have to pay back the loan, a money they obviously do not have.
