  • i've been thinking about this topic recently and its amazing how clear you're able to articulate cross culture dating

    • @@DatingBeyondBorders You touched on a lot of things that people don't think about when dating outside their culture.

  • 4:16 I'm Brazilian, from SP. The "who pays the bill" in my social circle is still the man. Not because we are poor girls needing a man, struggling, or whatever... it's just being polite. I'm 31 and to be honest I feel insulted when a man wants to split the bill, which just started to happen recently, btw, and very rarely. Even at a young age, in my early teens, hanging out with friends after school, the boys always "provided" for the girls. And when I say provide I mean: they used to pick us at home, walk us to our house... I would say they are very protective? Even my dad said to me once: "don't pay for the boys, never"...
    So growing up in this enviorement when the boys were always protective, worried, when I split the bill I just feel "yeah, not the right person"... it's def not for the money and it happens with friends, too. You don't need to be on a date, if you have a close friend, he is likely to pay the bill.
    I'll give you an example, real thing: couple months ago I got reconnected to a friend and he messaged me inviting me to go to a bar, I wasn't sure, and he said: "send me your adress, I'm sending you an uber", we went to the bar, we had some drinks, we went to his place to drink more, nothing happened, I slept over there because we were drunk... next day I woke up and there was a message of him "I needed to go out to pick my daughter, please let me know when you wake up so I can book you an uber". And I know him since I was 16y old. That's how "proper men" behave in Brazil. I didn't need the uber, I ordered myself, but that's how men take care of us. Unfortunelly in the recent years there are some girls using the good will of men.
    That being said I should say that I grew up in a privileged group, went to private school, the people are more conservative, so this is my small bubble.

    • Your sexual market value has been lowered, especially you're now in your 30s. If you were ugly when you were young this reality you're living now would have happened sooner.

  • Unless the couple can work around each other's culture, that relationship has to be reconsidered.

  • Great video. I think people should be mindful about their partners cultures. Also I guess the key for some people, is to try and date cultures that might be similar to yours, or a culture you personally would like to assimilate to as well.

    • It's hard for me.
      My father is German, my mother Romanian. The difference between those 2 countries is like day and night.
      But I prefer dating someone who's attitude is similar to Romania.
      Like Colombia recently. I visited that country and fell in love with its people, attitude, nature, food, music,...
      And sometimes I felt like I was in Romania when I was around the people or when I saw the beautiful landscape of theirs.

  • I am a Syrian woman ( not muslim) dating a German man and because of your channel I was really becoming more relaxed and opened for the culture diffrences especially for me as middle Eastern with European man , for me as not muslim woman from a muslim country makes me feel not belonged and that is basicly the reason haha
    Understanding the background culture of your partner makes the relationship stronger 🤗

  • Cross-cultural communication video yes please! and I LOVE Your Content So Much!!! Can't wait for the culture-specific guides ♥

  • Having done business in 25 countries and been in another 15 for personal reasons, I can relate to everything you have said in this video. Yes, cross cultural communication is critical. Please, create a video on that topic.
