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. Canāt tell where his perspective derives from.
Heās talking about hook-ups and casual dating, something thatās 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 theyāre also in the country for the short-term) so they just go ahead.

Portuguese woman here who never dated a portuguese man.
Maybe Portuguese women arenāt into hook-up culture and if they were they would rather be with a foreigner who wonāt ājudge themā since their not of their social circle.
What this guy is reading into āintentā 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 donāt mind hook-ups and short term flings with these foreign women who are also in the country for the short-term and wonāt be ājudgedā since theyāre far away from their home country.
Side note: Majority of European guys residing in Portugal are not exactly a ācatchā or āboyfriend/marriage materialā 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.
āVillage mentalityā = Not being into hook-up culture and casual sex isnāt āvillage mentalityā, itās called ādating with purposeā.
āNot being emancipated as in other countriesā = Again, not being into casual sex and collecting new strands of syphilis isnāt 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 āsex before coffeā.
āThey make men waitā = We go back to ādating with intentā and āseeking meaningful relationshipsā. A woman might be interested in a man but in the long term. So āmaking him waitā just translates into ādatingā and not just hooking-up.
Portuguese women are not afraid of judgment but they will definitely will. Itās the eternal double binding, if they are ātoo easyā they are sl.t shamed if theyāre not they have āvillage mentality and are not emancipatedā. *rolls eyes*
Preach!
Ora aĆ Ć© que a porca torce o rato
Eu acho que a Marina ainda nĆ£o percebeu bem.
Os homens portugueses gostam das estrangeirasā¦ porque elas se vĆ£o embora
Explicando melhorā¦ Ć© mais fĆ”cil iniciar um relacionado sabendo que a outra pessoa estĆ” cĆ” sĆ³ de passagem. Ou seja o drama de acabar com a relaĆ§Ć£o desaparece ou Ć© atenuado porque ela acaba por se ir embora. Ć que custa um bocado entrar Ć maluca e acabar com a relaĆ§Ć£o logo a seguir, parece que estamos a usar e nĆ£o queremos magoar a outra a pessoa. TambĆ©m pode acontecer o homem desenvolver sentimentos pela pessoa e ela ir-se embora na mesma
Ć© a vida
Com alguĆ©m que mora cĆ” permanentemente, preferimos conhecer bem a pessoa antes de nos envolvermosā¦ e muitas vezes quando a conhecemos jĆ” sabemos que ela nĆ£o Ć© indicada para nĆ³s
Maybe you should ask yourselves why people would judge Portuguese women for engaging in hook-ups and not men. In modern days thereās no reason to wait if both want to have sex. Also, wtf do you mean when you say āwestern valuesā? Itās like a boomer whoās never left his own country and thinks people in USA, Portugal and Norway share the same āvaluesā. Men donāt respect women who engage in short-term relationships because of sexism, thatās all.
I feel like Portuguese women play hard to get because they are so beautiful! Itās like they can be picky!
Simp
@@Icu4u2nvāSimpā is a great neologism usually used as a term by weak men whose abilities to court a woman properly is directly related to the size of his penis, or more accurately, the lack thereof.
Happy Tuesday, Marina! Hope youāre having a wonderful week! I have been told in the past that Portuguese
women are more on the reserved side but I never met a Portuguese 
woman myself but I can only go with what I was told. Sending my love your way 
and stay beautiful
My favorite language learning channel and my favorite dating channel collaborated! Thanks for the content, Marina and Leo.
Portuguese people look really good
X-country people look really good!
Quick note: you should also interview people from the north of Portugal. Thereās a big difference
She lived in Lisbon.
In Algarve things are diferent also.
I think Lisbon is more conservative than other areas of Portugal
How so?
@chrystianaw8256 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. (Itās not better or worst, itās just different)āØ
[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 menās interferenceā¦ idkāØāØ
Nevertheless, I find the mentality of playing āhard to getā a bit destructive for both ends. To be honest, Itās not nice to say ānoā and have guys insisting because they think we are āplaying hard to getāā¦ what if she really doesnāt 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 stillā¦ Idk if perpetuating this stereotype of disregarding peopleās signals/feelings is actually good and if it is indeed true or if it is rooted in the sexist idea that āwomen donāt know what they wantā.
If itās not a clear YES, is still a NO.
Shout out to Leo. Grande abraƧo, irmĆ£o!
Portugese girls have self respect
Its not a big deal to be easy and have ONS, come on- everyone can be easy. 
They canāt decide how women should be: āvaluableā or āfrom the streetsā. Both are bad in their eyes soā¦ There are no chances
Seems like Portuguese women respect themselves those women seem like keepers
Iām married to a portuguese woman.
Portuguese women donāt play hard to get they are hard to get and it worths it.
Portuguese women might seem difficult because they donāt want to waste their time with short flings so the man has to prove heās up for the long run. Befriend her family and youāll have unlimited access to her momās portuguese dishes
.
As Portuguese man, one is Saying for Portuguese women to be āeasyā they make it so hard verging on the Impossible to date them that the guy loses interest even if he plays his cards right, like cooperante a little with us
@@ricardovicente5334 It seems unfair.
Iām American but my family is Latin American , I went to Lisbon in September for the first time , I was shocked to realize that there arenāt many real Portuguese people in Lisbon . Most of the people I met were from Bangladesh and Brazil.
sad realityā¦
Itās because all the Portuguese people are all here in London.
ā@@nicolef4535Just as sad as not seeing English people in London. All the Portuguese are over here.
@@louiseleite3866 lol
@@louiseleite3866 at least the Portuguese people arenāt that phenotypically different looking from the British and culturally/religiously arenāt that different either . When someone comes from a Muslim or Hindu nation in Africa or Asia, they really stick out and change the atmosphere of a place , you should probably be grateful that there are Portuguese people and not people from a totally different and incompatible society from yours
So Iām very Portuguese! I donāt like one night stands. I need to know the person.
Initiative in men matters so much in life and dating. Even an independent feminist is not going to know youāre interested or have good intentions until you show her.
attempting might get you cancelled.
@@alessbritish228 Not if youāre appropriate, respectful, and accept no for an answer. Most of the dudes getting complained about donāt know how to behave and need the the lesson.
As a Portuguese man i can confirm, damn near Impossible to date a Portuguese women
Portuguese man here. Iāve had it but gotta say it even feels weird to have a ONS with a Portuguese
theyāre just not for that. In terms of GF material theyāre VERY good tho, but after some foreigners Iām not coming back, international dating is just better
Portuguese women here. I agree that international dating is just better.
Sounds like a win for the Portugese women.
Is self respect a turn off
I have a Portuguese friend who went on some dates with an American guy (Iām also American). She told him she didnāt wanna keep dating and just wanted to stay friends. 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
