Why it’s so Difficult to Find Love in Barcelona

View Comments

• Western Europe: progressive, Eastern Europe: conservative.

  • It depends. Portugal is much more conservative than Spain for ex but overall you are right

  • If you think about Poland then forget, women are not conservative. They even don't how to cook simple meal. They speak about communication but doesn't know how to communicate 😄

  • More like Western Europe: liberal. I never understood why people use the word progressive and liberal like they are interchangeable, when they don't necessarily mean the same thing.

• Happy Friday Marina ❤! Finding love in general is tough nowadays

• Thank you so much for this insightful video! I’ve become a huge fan of your content. It’s not just educational; it’s incredibly eye-opening because it gives us a chance to see different parts of the world and learn about a variety of cultures. While it’s focused on dating culture, your videos offer much more there’s always something new to learn, and I truly appreciate the hard work you put into them.

  Regarding Barcelona, I don’t think the situation you described is exclusive to that city. In fact, cities like Montreal, New York, and Berlin seem to have similar dynamics. Open relationships and the desire to avoid commitment are becoming increasingly common in many large Western cities. It’s not just younger people in their 20s who are engaging in this lifestyle many people in their 30s and 40s are also embracing it. It seems that age is no longer a defining factor in these trends.

  Many people are still looking for stability and genuine connection, but others are trying to have the best of both worlds seeking love and sex without the responsibility of commitment. It’s a tricky balance, and I don’t think we can generalize too much. Even in a city like Barcelona, you’ll find all types of people: those looking for love, those seeking casual sex, some in open relationships, and others wanting commitment. Big cities offer a wide range of experiences and mindsets.

  It’s challenging for both men and women alike. Men also struggle with finding committed relationships. What saddens me, though, is that many people today seem to reject traditional values, viewing them as outdated or uncivilized. I disagree with that perspective. To me, traditional values aren’t about oppressing women or dominance; they’re about mutual respect, genuine love, and building a meaningful relationship not just about partying or casual sex. Personally, I’m not into the party scene, and I value deep conversations and authentic connections.

  However, it’s difficult to find like minded people who share these values. If you don’t drink, engage in casual sex, or follow the modern social trends, it can feel isolating, and people might even ghost you. But this issue isn’t unique to Barcelona it’s something that happens everywhere, unfortunately.

  At the end of the day, I believe in the freedom of choice. Everyone has the right to live their life as they see fit, but it’s definitely tough for those of us who prefer a more traditional approach to relationships. It’s a challenge, to say the least.

  • Thank you for your sweet and thoughtful response! And I wholeheartedly agree with what you wrote. Couldn't have put it better -- Marina

  • I also dont drink and I absolutely hate parties. I really feel you

• You need a whole episode with the French guy alone lol my guy!!

  • He was such a great representation of the city 😁

• Have you noticed that this only happens in places where there are endless options? Do you know why?

• Spain is the most liberal country EVER ,trust me , literally the most feminist and pro lgbt as well,I remember in the 90s I thought they were conservative 😂boy was I wrong

  • That is not liberal darling. That is woke progressivism.

  • In the big cities here in Spain they are very open. However, in the countryside there is still a lot of hostility towards the lgbtq community, to the point where they beat up gay people and the police don't even do anything :/

  • @@ContrarianExpatriate Bingo.

  • @@ContrarianExpatriate for me it very liberal

  • @@ContrarianExpatriate You don't even know what woke means.

• The guy min. 7.42 talking about family and flow come on. Who are you kidding?

• Great watch as always 🫡

• Great video, fan of the channel. One request, can you make a video about Slovenian dating culture? I’m very curious what it’s like there.

  • Unfortunately I am not in Europe at the moment and decided not to go to Slovenia. I did make a few videos on Hungary and Croatia which might be faaairly similar in many ways

  • Some serious crumpet in Slovenia, actually.

• Barcelona ther's nothing to do with catalans it's a city apart where there are a lot of people with diferent backgrounds and mix of cultures, majority of catalans we are not that way, actually we are shy people and not so open minded at the first time, so we dont fit in the tipical stereotype of spanish person, that's more in the south. Stope using Barcelona as an example of spain.
