Things to NEVER do While Dating in Sweden?

I asked people on the streets of Gothenburg what not to do while dating in Sweden, from paying, to faux pas. Here is what the Swedes had to say.

  • As a Swede this series of videos talking about Swedish social culture has verily helped me gain a very good perspective on the whole dating situation here (I'm 24) as I've been trying to figure it out, decode it in a way. See, I'm not your typical Swede, I'm a traditionalist in many regards, old school, and you guessed it, makes it a lot harder to date here with all the casual hookups.

    But now that I've gained better understanding, not only of dating in general, but this aspect of Swedish culture in particular, I feel like I should be able to find me a good match (out here in the snow). What really got me was the redhead girl encouraging us guys to not be so Swedish (coconutty) and actually be more direct and more brave. I've always been a person who stick out (a long haired creative with a mystic mind) and always been very masculine by nature, so I feel like this won't be a problem for me now that I got the confirmation that it is actually the better way to go. I've naturally already been taking this approach doing cold approaches and generally been more social with strangers, which's fun, I really like it most of the time, and I can honestly say that I've gotten some really great interactions, smiles I'll never forget.

    However, finding a good woman to match my old school standard might prove to be difficult since this culture is so secular and progressive. But who knows, maybe some women out here are tired of meowing around and just want to settle down and have a family, I believe so. Though I might just travel to the eastern countries where traditionalism is already ingrained in the culture, just to better my odds.

    • You gotta go the religious route then mate. Only the religious girls are still truly conservative. It seems the propaganda of girls whoring themselves is everywhere.

    • Eastern Europe isn’t traditional as much as you think
      There is nothing wrong with your women, and you aren’t better than anyone else because you are traditional. Just be straight forward about what you want and you will find it

  • 1:00 this accounts for your opinions too. You are not allowed to have your own opinions in sweden and if you stand by values that are slightly different from them they will slowly gravitate away from you. So, my recommendation is keep any opinions you have to yourself until like 3 months into the relationship/friendship and you might get a positive response

  • In my experience, swedes don’t tend to do the casual dating the way they do in the US. We don’t really date for the sake of it, but rather because we want to get to know that particular person. I also feel like the whole pressure of being in a relationship is a lot less here than in other places, hence when we meet someone it is usually because we like them as a person, and not just because we want a boyfriend or girlfriend.

    • Hollo am chatting you here from south cyprus am single looking for a serious relationship

  • very nice vid, can you kindly make one for Swiss dating culture as well please? cheers ❤
