The Hard Truth About Dating in Sweden #037

Guide to making friends and dating in Sweden: https://www.dating-beyond-borders.com/shop-guide This week I talk to Cecilia, a Swedish-Finnish woman who has resigned on dating in Sweden. She shares her own, very personal experiences with dating in Sweden. Are Swedish men as passive as they say? Why is gender equality not always positive? What does she miss in Swedish relationships?... And more much more! Get in touch with Cecilia : https://www.instagram.com/missgelinder/ Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life. 🎙️ Want to be a guest on the Podcast? https://forms.gle/J7CjyY1s7jKkLDEa9 Support the Podcast (money will be used for operational budget/equipment) https://tr.ee/0SzhdgntdC Make your Podcast with Streamyard and get $10 in credit: https://shorturl.at/knzA2 Youtube Channel: ‪@DatingBeyondBorders‬ / datingbeyondborders / datingbeyondborders Editing by Ivan Popovic: https://shorturl.at/rOsC5 Instagram: @i__popi__ Tune in on other Podcast Platforms 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4aoPPtJxxcP974vv0Ly95g?si=16173891706d44de Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dating-beyond-borders/id1718400067 0:00 Intro 2:19 Cecilia's story 4:00 Are Swedish men passive? 7:15 Being macho is not good? 8:00 Do Swedish women want to be approached? 9:30 Do Swedish women approach? 11:25 Swedish h00k up culture 14:00 Intimacy on the first date: Sweden vs world 17:44 Have Swedish men gotten lazy? 19:08 What are Swedish dates like? 21:20 What don't Swedish men do in relationships 23:47 Why dating in Sweden is confusing 28:00 Do Swedish women want men to pay? 34:00 Do Swedish men offer to pay? 36:40 What it's like dating an English guy? 41:00 Are Swedish relationships lonely? 45:30 The positives on the Swedish dating scene 48:00 Marriage in Sweden 51:00 Are Swedish breakups more calm? 53:00 Is passion lacking in Swedish relationships? 58:00 What have been the takeways from living outside of Sweden?
