    Seems the guy lives in a different Portugal. Most men are very shy, dependent and expect the woman in their life to take of all household work. Can’t tell where his perspective derives from.

    • @redleeks6253 says:

      He’s talking about hook-ups and casual dating, something that’s not prevalent in the portuguese culture and the local men already know that.
      Foreign women from central/North Europe are more open to hook-ups and short term dating (since they’re also in the country for the short-term) so they just go ahead.

  • @redleeks6253 says:

    Portuguese woman here who never dated a portuguese man.
    Maybe Portuguese women aren’t into hook-up culture and if they were they would rather be with a foreigner who won’t ‘judge them’ since their not of their social circle.

    What this guy is reading into ‘intent’ is thag portuguese women might be interested in a foreign man but not in a hook-up or short term fling (since foreigners are usually here in the short term) as for the men they don’t mind hook-ups and short term flings with these foreign women who are also in the country for the short-term and won’t be ‘judged’ since they’re far away from their home country.

    Side note: Majority of European guys residing in Portugal are not exactly a ‘catch’ or ‘boyfriend/marriage material’ and others are migrants from developing countries with very different cultures that dont match portuguese and/or western values in general.

      Clarifying some points of what this clueless guy is trying to say.

      ‘Village mentality’ = Not being into hook-up culture and casual sex isn’t ‘village mentality’, it’s called ‘dating with purpose’.

      ‘Not being emancipated as in other countries’ = Again, not being into casual sex and collecting new strands of syphilis isn’t for lack of emancipation. Portuguese women have equal rights since 1976 and is one of the EU countries with more full time working moms and female scientists. Portuguese women are using their emancipation and rights to contribute to the society not to stroke visitors egos who are used to ‘sex before coffe’.

      ‘They make men wait’ = We go back to ‘dating with intent’ and ‘seeking meaningful relationships’. A woman might be interested in a man but in the long term. So ‘making him wait’ just translates into ‘dating’ and not just hooking-up.

      Portuguese women are not afraid of judgment but they will definitely will. It’s the eternal double binding, if they are ‘too easy’ they are sl.t shamed if they’re not they have ‘village mentality and are not emancipated’. *rolls eyes*

      Os homens portugueses gostam das estrangeiras… porque elas se vรฃo embora ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

      Explicando melhor… รฉ mais fรกcil iniciar um relacionado sabendo que a outra pessoa estรก cรก sรณ de passagem. Ou seja o drama de acabar com a relaรงรฃo desaparece ou รฉ atenuado porque ela acaba por se ir embora. ร‰ que custa um bocado entrar ร  maluca e acabar com a relaรงรฃo logo a seguir, parece que estamos a usar e nรฃo queremos magoar a outra a pessoa.

    • @pedromiguel9852 says:

      Maybe you should ask yourselves why people would judge Portuguese women for engaging in hook-ups and not men. In modern days there’s no reason to wait if both want to have sex. Also, wtf do you mean when you say “western values”? It’s like a boomer who’s never left his own country and thinks people in USA, Portugal and Norway share the same “values”. Men don’t respect women who engage in short-term relationships because of sexism, that’s all.

    Quick note: you should also interview people from the north of Portugal. There’s a big difference ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

    • @pauvermelho says:

      She lived in Lisbon.

      In Algarve things are diferent also.

      I think Lisbon is more conservative than other areas of Portugal

    • @chrystianaw8256 says:

      How so?

    • @rosarufino8512 says:

      @chrystianaw8256ย  In the north we are a bit more straightforward/fiery. We can be blunt and be considered rude if we speak the same way we do in the north, in Lisbon, for example. Generally speaking, from Coimbra down, I feel people and ways are way more indirect and sinuous than in the north of Portugal. (Itโ€™s not better or worst, itโ€™s just different)โ€จ

      [this next part is referencing the video, more than your question]

      Women in Portugal like to enjoy their time having fun, yes [shock]. And fun might mean to dance just for the sake of dancing, and not necessarily to find a mating partner. In the north, if bothered, we might confront the person that is bothering us or push them way; in the south they might be a bit more polite and do the circle thing to avoid men’s interferenceโ€ฆ idkโ€จโ€จ

      Nevertheless, I find the mentality of playing โ€œhard to getโ€ a bit destructive for both ends. To be honest, Itโ€™s not nice to say โ€œnoโ€ and have guys insisting because they think we are โ€œplaying hard to getโ€โ€ฆ what if she really doesnโ€™t want THAT guy? What if she just wants to have fun? or what if she is a feminine presenting lesbian?

      I know we are talking about stereotypes, but stillโ€ฆ Idk if perpetuating this stereotype of disregarding peopleโ€™s signals/feelings is actually good and if it is indeed true or if it is rooted in the sexist idea that โ€œwomen donโ€™t know what they wantโ€œ.

      If it’s not a clear YES, is still a NO.

    Portuguese women don’t play hard to get they are hard to get and it worths it.

    Portuguese women might seem difficult because they don’t want to waste their time with short flings so the man has to prove he’s up for the long run. Befriend her family and you’ll have unlimited access to her mom’s portuguese dishes๐Ÿ˜….

Then she got soooo pissed when he went on a date with someone else. They ended up getting together after that, and I was just as confused as he was when he told me haha
