I asked Dutch on the streets of the Netherlands whether they would prefer someone from the Netherlands or a foreigner. Here is what they had to say.

That's being said, dutch people are very friendly at first, but if you want to connect deeper, they start to be very cautious ;). If you love electronic music, that's the country for you tho.

They do not bother with foreigners that leave in 1 year and treat them as a hookup. I grew up there as a foreigner, so I have an inside info :)

  • lol. I’ve noticed a lot of Dutch people seem to “think” they don’t like traditional gender roles, but really they just mean countries with people who look and act radically different from them, AKA Asians and black people. The obsession with Italians, Spanish, Latin Americans (who are SUPER macho/traditional) etc. that I see in a lot of these vids seem to confirm that. Either they have no idea what people from Latin America are like, or when they say gender roles, they only think of stuff like hijabs and forced marriages.

    • ​@@Wetsand348 I wouldn't say they have no idea being that there are Latin Americans living in the Netherlands and TONS in Spain, so they've encountered them. The fact of the matter is that they probably don't have exposure to the poorest Latin Americans, who more likely move to the US if they emigrate. That means that their exposure won't show the worst of machismo. On the other hand, Americans are biased to see the opposite. That said, on every real account, Latin Americans are still less foreign and very much less traditional than the Africans, West Asians and South Asians that Europeans are talking about

  • As a 40 year old dutch dude I personally don't care about foreign or not. Met many women from various backgrounds and as long as the attraction and interest is there it'll work. For the past 8 years I've been married to a woman from Paraguay. She traveled around and ended up in the Netherlands and stayed. So I didn't even have to go abroad :D as for cultures I wouldn't date. most likely best too avoid american women. My personal preference is the more "mysterious" looking women with darker hair. So South Americans and Asians works for me. Especially since I also love their cuisine compared to boring dutch. I hit the jackpot there ;) In the northern part of Europe we men do approach women. We are just way more private and we also are more critical on who we want to approach. It isn't just being single so I approach everybody. We got standards and patience.

    • Nah, Chad culture is much more similar to the Italian "macho" culture. Also, the whole point of approaching your person of interest is to show you're needy and want their attention. They need to know that shit if you want to try to get further with them. Whether it's the man or woman who has to initiate this doesn't change that fact, and it's always uncomfortable to be the one to approach, because approaching is always the vulnerable option which will lead to rejection in most cases. That's a fact, regardless of whether you're a man or woman. After all, most people like less than half of the gender of interest well enough to want a relationship with them. Most people marry near to 1 person, and not the entire gender.

  • - The language barrier is real. Being able to communicate through a second language is lightyears behind being comfortable expressing yourself in that language. It's not about being scared people judge your language skills or sth. It's just that there's a gigantic difference between being able to say your thoughts out loud in an instant, or having to translate them first. Even if it's just an extra nanosecond you need to formulate your thoughts in the different language, it makes a heck of a difference. - Stop arguing about whether men or women should approach. In the end, it's best for everyone, regardless of gender, to approach when they are interested. You need to do this to show that you are needy and want their attention. This vulnerability is necessary to find out if the relationship could develop further from there. Anyone who wants to succeed in sth big, including getting into the 1 kind of relationship you want, needs to face a lot of discomfort, vulnerability, failure, and rejection before succeeding. It's the way it is. Regardless of gender. This has never been and will never be easy, regardless of gender. And yes, it's uncomfortable to be approached by someone you don't like, regardless of gender. And yes, when approaching one should always keep in mind how the other feels in order to avoid overstepping boundaries. That's all non-gendered. I could see that women might be more easily intimidated by men (considering men are stronger and could easily take them down and rape them). However, that could as easily be an argument as for why they should be the one approaching as for why men should be the ones approaching. - Stop acting like dating is easier/more difficult in different countries. Every country has their own cultural gives and takes, and in most countries this has come to an equilibrium in which both men and women keep marrying. And yes, relationships take a lot from you. They give you a safety net, but cost you a lot during comfortable/safe times. It's always been like that as well for any gender.

  • They speak english so well. What language barrier ????

    @flavio888@flavio8886 ай бұрын
    • To some people it is wearisome to speak in another language or listen to another language (even if such person is fluent, needless to say when they are not). It is a stress that not many people are up to living on a daily basis. To make friends, the foreigner will need to speak the local language at some point as the spouse's friends might not be willing to speak English when they can speak their language among themselves. They won't speak English just for one person. It doesn't make much sense to do so to be honest. Besides, they can have kids and having them exposed to different languages might be confusing and harmful in the beginning as they are going to live in one country and the official language will matter the most after all.

  • I was really keen to date with Dutch girl. But sadly, it never panned out. Most of the Dutch girls that I approached were rather cold. I was frequently ghosted or jilted by them. At one point, I did get close to one girl. But sadly our relationship never developed into a serious one. She's rather rude and impolite. Her cousin was probably also interested in me, but the language barrier got in the way. This is stark contrast to what I hear from my friends who said that Dutch girls are excited with Indonesian guys.

And therefore, of course you can feel disconnected from actual people living there. You are from a very different cultural background.
