Why it’s so DIFFICULT to Find Love in Sweden

Dive into the complicated world that is Swedish dating.

From Swedish style first dates, to gender equality which reigns in Sweden, to why Sweden and specifically Stockholm is such a difficult place to find love. And most importantly, what does Sweden say about our current world of love and dating? Are we becoming more commitment-phobic? Are our standards set too high? Check out the longest video yet that dives head first into the often complicated world of Swedish dating.

  • Unfortunately, believe it or not, my experience in Brazil has been exactly the same. I hate hook up culture

    • Interesting. We are making our next videos in Brazil and I was really curious to get the perspective on this since I saw a recent study about it

    • @@DatingBeyondBorders If you come to São Paulo and want to hear the perspective from a local about it, I'll be honoured to help :)

    • I think Brazil is different in the sense that there is always a judmental thing about women who are "too easy" or a man who hit every girl. Body count is a subconcious concern for many people,just like in US.

    • @@wagner9527 It might be something exclusive from where I live, but body count has never been an issue or a subject that we (me and my friends) talk about. No one ever asks “what’s your body count?”.
      I’ve went in quite a lot of dates during the last 2 years and sex in the first date has been the norm to a point that if it doesn’t happen, it’s just strange. Dating casually in São Paulo has been quite easy, but it seems that everybody’s having commitment issues lately. At least, that’s a some of what I’ve been experiencing (I’m a 26 year old man).

    • It's a natural rubberband effect. Our culture gave people more freedom so now people are exploring freedom. When they get fed up and it starts being really problematic....people will be interested in a middle term again (no, not the old school way of things.......which people also try to shove down each others' throats as a solution).

    • ​@jeanjacqueslundi3502 looking at some bloggers in their 20s, I think it already started to happen

  • i met my wife from east europe while we were both studying in sweden, safe to say as soon as we graduated and received job offers outside sweden we packed our bags and moved as quickly as possible

  • Couldn't agree more Marina. We have certainly lost our way. No one disagrees with freedom of choice and autonomy but always be careful what you wish for. If everything is approached with such a casual take it or leave it attitude then everything has no depth or value. So many lonely people in society pretending they are happy.
    Dating apps,whilst championed and enjoyed by millions,have ushered in an age of people who simply don't know how to act or behave with each other in the real world. If you treat people as a shallow commodity to be swiped,it's gonna lead to problems.

    • sex is not the problem, the problem is the misandrism, hating men, that is rampant nowadays in lot of countries. I noticed that the more misandrism, more a society is degraded, if females hate men, how can a society function healthy and prosperous? Nowadays females just use men for their sexual needs and throw away and hate them, don't want to be submissive and this is the problem.

    • "be careful what you wish for" I couldn't care less tbh, having freedom and options in other areas of life is more enjoyable and healthy than dating in a certain way.

  • I think the problem is that people don't even know why they go into partnerships. Like if it's meaningless, what's the point of being together? And so most people want to feel something is real when they are together. So that's why hookup culture has come to the state it is nowadays.

    • I really agree. It's not just about having too many options, it's about lack of internal direction or vision. People don't know how to deeply, sincerely want things anymore.

    • @@vattenflick When everything can essentially be given to you at a click of a button, a lot of drive and motivation kinda vanish. Our brains aren't built for the societies we live in. Things are so much harder because of the abundence rather than the lack of abundance.
