• Don't they have a high rate of chlamydia because of this??

  • Maybe a high rate of blondes lmao

  • ​@@bongimusprime7981jealous?

  • @@ellejay7065you’re autistic lol

  • Yes the highest after Norway

  • Oh shiii...I just chekced the stats on youtube. All the nordic countries top the charts for chlamydia by a looong shot.

• I wonder why Sweden is one of the happiest countries lmao

  • Because it isn't. You shouldn't read headline data and walk away feeling like you got the real information.

    In Sweden it is VERY frowned upon to say you are unhappy, *especially* to a stranger. This person doesn't know you and Swedes aren't that open about their feelings to begin with. Ask a Swede on the verge of suicide how they're doing and you'll ve told they've never been happier!

    Sweden has one of the *highest* rates of depression. They certainly SAY they are happy in studies to random strangers, but in actual indicators of happiness like depression and suicide rates, they're actually doing very poorly and getting much worse.

  • Sweden is a miserable country.

  • It also has the highest number of rapes in Europe

  • based on criteria like wealth, education etc. it has nothing to do with social norms and people's disposition.

  • ITS NOT ,they are the most depressed people

• Sounds horrible ngl

  • lol someone’s not getting any

  • @@bongimusprime7981 If I "wouldn't get any" I'd want to go there, wouldn't I?
    How much can one contradict himself with one single sentence? Congrats.

  • I agree....the uncertainty is frustrating 😮‍💨🙁

  • As a swede, I agree with you. It's difficult if you're looking for a serious relationship and I personally don't want to sleep with strangers. I prefer getting to know people first but everyone on dating apps want sex. Swedes are very introverted so finding dates on apps is the only way. It's easier in other countries.

  • @@V88333 Damn, I feel bad for you.
    It's not much better in Germany, but at least dating apps aren't omnipresent for everyone (yet)
    Hopefully, it gets better for both our countries 🤝🏻

• As someone who is Swedish and Finnish I can confirm this how it can go. The person I’m married to we met at a Western bar/nightclub. Everytime I was there. They were there. We started playing this game there it started out cold but started warming up. Long story short we started hanging out until we realized we had something going on.

• If dating is a new comcept in Sweden, how did it used to work before?

  • Probably they were promised to one another by parents? 😅

  • People would be spending time together and doing things together but not going on official dates.

  • i guess it was similar to today but because these dating apps didnt exist the selection was lesser so they ended up with people in their proximity from their circle of friends. but it always was love marriage, never arranged marriage, except maybe really long ago in the iron age or something they did arranged marriages in nordic countries.

  • A German would see it as going from 'Ficka to Fika'

  • You meet people from your vicinity/friend group growing up/local or agacent communities.

    100+ years ago, we did used to have arranged marriages in Sweden. That is now outlawed and deeply frowned upon.

• I don't care I'm going to sweden

  • Lets breeding with swedish chicks

• Sad. Having sex with a stranger over & over? Not appealing.

  • You just derailed one of Vegas' major industries

  • This actually sounds amazing.

  • @@celica9098 it sounds horrific

• My guess is this is her and her friends experience, but not the norm.

  • It’s the norm in Scandinavia

  • @@floriiiii-tu3pr No it´s not. At least not what I have seen.

  • no she's right.

  • 😂

• Isn’t that how they do it in Iceland as well?

• This is not how everyone is doing it in Sweden. But this woman always want to show Sweden as being more extreme than what it is. People are doing it all kind of ways, some people get in a relationship directly and some don´t have sex until being in a serious relationship.

  • Yes there are differences as in any country in the world. I say this many times but it is tough not to generalize when talking about culture especially in shorts. Full video gives more information

  • @@DatingBeyondBorders Joking around with stereotypes is fun but you have to be respectful and don´t exaggerate or think that some cultures are better than others. I have red a lot of comments from people who have read your book about scandinavians and they are now saying that they don´t want to come here because scandinavia sounds lika an awful place even though it used to be their dream. Just becasue what they read in your book., For example when you are saying that "it is swedish culture" to not make any friends as an adult or that people don´t care if someone is sitting alone at a party. I would say those are not swedish culture and probably exceptions.

    And that is sad when I and many swedes don´t agree with what you have written. I´m just asking you to understand that when you are writing and or making videos about small countries it´s going to affect people and have consequenses. If you write about america or canada there will be so much more information and books about that country but it´s not that way with smaller countries. I´m just asking you to have a bit more respect for the swedish/scandinavian people. So many people here are also friendly, welcoming and inviting. I think it just starts with yourself. Just learn the culture and you will be able to make friends everywhere.

  • Yet Sweden has the highest divorce rate in the EU so something isn't working there.
