Well that's not all true, as soon as a Swede leaves Sweden they become normal social people or if you give them a shot of vodka.
If you don't believe me give it a try, offer a Swede a drink and start a random conversation. You'll see they are very normal after a little bit of courage juice.
Most brits live on a diet of takeaways, are over worked, under slept and often recovering from a hang over. That doesnt do much for the best of us.
I can also understand why the swedish are concidered attractive to foriegn beauties in search of a better life.
Swedes have much more to offer than pork pie gobbling brits.
Hahahaha.
Beautiful people are lousy in bed ... average people are average ... less beautiful people are great in bed....
Swedes are generally blond with fair skin. Ergo Sum they fit the worldwide category of preferred colouring. Ergo Sum they are generally more desirable.
Simple.
Yes they make an effort but so do most capital cities...if u drive half an hour in either direction from stockholm u will find some right ugly b@stards...it as if they have been banned from the city lol . Just like glasgow , i thought it would be full of mingers but the women in the centre were gorgeous ..best i've ever seen . drive out of it and they turn into .......well pretty much the same as everywhere else. they city attracts the fluff and all the rest are cast out...except for london were the englash have thrown themselves out lol. ....So not offended if based on London . I think you should visit sodertålje and look at the bog beasts...or any where that isn't stockholm or gbg .
In many other countries the beautiful people don't need to go onto pathetic dating websites in the hope if finding a mate. But in Sweden the males are largely breast-feeding sissies.
Submissive in the real world, these guys trawl the web looking for ways to feel better about themselves and can often be found trying to dominate foreigners from the safety of their bedrooms. There are even a few who visit this site!
Had some friends over from sweden to uk where i was working that were suprised how good looking some women were "it was a student night".
But old school english i like but most british people are lucky tornados don't happpen there or the white trash drooling retards with bricks for brains would be blown out to see with the rest of the turds.
I mean even the most famous english heart throb could only get an ugly old black hooker in the usa, describes them down to their brown teeth
I hear male breast-pumping is quite relaxing, you might want to try it to calm down a bit.
Although my wife is a very Scandinavian looking blonde (actually ethnic Dutch heritage), I've actually tended to find those Latino looking or some Asian gals as the most exotic.
I am particularly shocked at how crude and uneducated the British people who comment sound. That's my hateful comment. By the way, I think Swedish people are beautiful and those of you who do not, are likely jealous.
And if you ever find those that are so social then it usually turns out to be those who have travelled the world or those that have lived abroad. They tend to also be social when they are drunk.
I used to find it so strange when i first came to Sweden ,but then i realised it's just their nature to be reserved individuals . Now i think i have got used to them.
Personally, i think most their men are rather shy compared to their ladies. About looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
brasilians rarely dance salsa.
brazilian men come in all shapes sizes and colors each one is different and european women seek them for the same reason latin men seek swedish women. the grass is greener .. bla bla.
closer to wild animals?? (you should travel more)
Yes very witty. Now run along your wife is calling...
i) Boring
ii) Boring in bed
iii) Lacking in both a generosity of spirit and of the heart
iv) Intolerant, suspicious and fearful
v) Rude and ill mannered
vi) Always want to split the bill!
So you pay a high price to sit opposite your cardboard cut out.
II: I dunno who'd you been with but I guess it wassnt a prime example .. I'v had really exciting things going on all from roleplays to trying all kinda wierd things.. to just havign "wild" sex.. and thats in relationships and girls I'v meet on like 1-3 date beeing normal swedish girls,
III: I dunno if I can really agree there as sweden is the country in the world that gives the most money contributions to poorer countries then any other in the world compared to population! and just the otherday I when I was in line at the coffee shop and was missing a few "swedish krona" to pay the guy behind me offered to pay the extra so I cant agree with you.
IV: I cant understand how you think swedish people are intolerant as I look around all over europe usa .. world.. and I see such intollerance compared to back home here in sweden and sighs. sweden lets gay people marriage, swedes have the highest intake of warzone imegrants compared to population, something swedes defenetly arent is fearful as we usually try not to be controlled by fears in anyway and you cant live a life in fear but, ofcourse people in sweden usually count with the worst scenario beeing possible and there for preparing for it to a somewhat degree but thats not really bad I'd say.
V: rude and illmannered.. its all how you see it I guess we might not bee as much of ass lickers left and right wheater you work in a coffee store or to next person but we'r not rude, perhaps just saving the thanx and such for when its alittle bit more deserved then someone holding up the door.. but then again.. most people say thank you then to or nod their head or similar to appriciate the action.
VI: ah yes.. splitting the bill well if you compare some other countries the pays women get compared to men are usually lower for same work.. and even if thats still so in sweden its comparably lower.. basically the women have just as much money of their own as the guy they are havign dinner with, but guys do pay for meals or drinks for the ladies, but as I see it, I dont like the girl assuming I'm paying as I'd rather skip it then but be pleased and happy if I decide to do it! as a nice gesture
also both swedish girls and men tend to look rather good and in physical shape compared to over seas :P looking at usa with their "fat" problems
over all really happy I live in sweden and get to hang out with swedes and date swedes thou I'v been in multiple countries like usa, england, france, japan, and they all got really intresting wonderful places personalities and flavors and people! :D
