• I loved the Frenchman’s Gallic shrug. Marvelous

• Am I the only one that does not want a marriage but I just want a relationship? ahah it seems like people either wanna f**k around or super strict demanding marriage, kids and babies LOOOOL.

  • you are not the only one. I also just want a relationship. No marriage, no Babies.

• It’s actually difficult to find love everywhere in the world.

• It's kinda funny being a feminist and at the same time wanting serious commitment from men and a family.

  • @@diofromyozgat Well, feminists will say it's about equality, but when you see the laws being created in favor of women and only women, it becomes clear that, at least in a societal level, feminism only benefits women and in many cases it comes to the expense of making things harder for men.
    What it creates is polarization, division and mistrust between sexes.
    Now, tell me, isn't that the best possible recipe to worse relationships between both sexes and therefore less commitment and less family stuff?
    Many feminists will also say that it's "fine" and that's how it's supposed to be and that's men's fault.
    Feminism is about separation, not union.

  • Why?

• I honestly believe the big problem with modern dating is this hook up culture that has been extended worldwide, not only in Barcelona. As a Catalan who's been living in Bcn for +10 years and dated guys from multiple nationalities, I can really affirm is not "a Barcelona thing", it's a deeper social and cultural problem. We are living in the era of fast-love, making no f* effort, treating people like objects, and connecting with others in a superficial level.

  (Also, this "casual sex culture thing" is more of a men's game, a lot of times related to their need of validation, poor values and weak self-steem.)

  • Hook up culture >>>

• Summing it all up: a liberal progressive country/place is not for a traditional conservative family, much less for love, it is for fun and entertainment.

  • I think there is nothing in the middle. For example I really like traditional relationships but I dont believe in marriage and I dont want kids. Usually is either you want JUST to have fun (liberal) or either is VERY conservative (kids+marriage).

• As a foreigner it would be hard to get together with a local Barcelona woman all because of other foreigners that are not from Spain that live there. Sad the way how things change in that way.

  • yeah exactly...ive been as an american for 5 years and 1 catalan friend...they AVOID ME...(and i have plenty of friends)

• p.s. in barcelona guys split the bill because they go out with around 10/15 ladies per month 😁. Imagine what financial tragedy would be for them to pay for all the ladies they go out with? 😁 they also pay a rent!

• Thank you for this eye opener. I'm no stranger to Europe but still I found this to be a "WoW" experience.

• Really nice and informative video. I've visited Barcelona for the past three summers. It was so nice to see familiar streets in La Ribera, and El Born district. Oh you're making me miss it there so much. Barcelona kind of sounds like my home town NYC, where people are spoiled for choice. NYC however does not have any many transient people in the main dating pool. Thank you for the walk down memory lane. I'm going to look at my photos and vides and reminisce.
