From what I can tell, Finns are actually far from being unsocial introverts as stereotyped. From their expression and their body language they are actually rather cool and approachable.
Yea it's just no one dares to engage each other.
being an introvert doesn't prevent you from being cool and approachable, it just means you prefer being alone
They are so cool. Even though the culture is more introverted, it’s also way more genuine. Like here in the US a lot of people appear friendly when you first meet them but it’s usually just an act that we are trained to do..which is almost worse.
People in Finland are friendly and open minded. People might think we are "cold" and "introverted" because we don't do much small talk but if we are interested we will gladly interact with anyone.

I used to like my neighbour in finland, but we never spoke and she did not know me. I bought flowers and put a note in it saying that "I am your neighbour and I think you are really cute and i really like you but im bit shy. can i have your number and we can go from there. please stick the answer on sticky note outside your apartment door" I then stuck it in her door through her mail slot.
she actually replied me through the sticky note, saying its really cute that i send her flowers, but she has a boyfriend :)
Wow that's a great way to take action! Love it! Keep it up.
poor u :))
That must of hurt my brother
Did you move to another apartment after that?
Oh well they are just bf/gf but not yet husband and wife
As a Finnish guy, I'm attracted to darker featured women (dark eyes/eyebrows, skin color doesnt matter). Nothing wrong with Finnish women, it's just that many of them give too much of a sister vibe to me.
It's good that you know what you want. ;)
Satellite Same but with guys! En tiiä miks mutta tuntuu et oon aina sukua niille :D
Should date blond girl with blue/green/amber eyes
same here. tho im a woman. blond men just dont do it for me, ive always been attracted do darker featured man. i have dark features myself (but really blue eyes)
Hahaha! Man, this comment made my day
That girl with the pink earphones tho..she sounds like a very fun person😀
She is!
Of course but you look cute
Like you (:
I think she is a non introverted finn
But u guys looks alike 😍😍
What I like about Finland is that it seems they really listen carefully to each other when someone is talking.
There is so much respect in this Body Language to each other, especially in the Eyes of the Listener.
That reminds me truly to Japanese People.

I actually have similar experiences.
About 15-20 years ago, a good friend of mine used to work as a coach for the Austrian ski-jumping team while being a student.
So every time the "Vierschanzentournee" (a.k.a. "Four Hills Tournament" or "German-Austrian Ski Jumping Week") came to Innsbruck where I live, he not only set me up with free tickets for the contest, but always dragged a number of Nordic athletes and their staff into our local for an unofficial and informal after show party.
And especially the Finns belonged to those who were the most open and outgoing ones who e.g. were the first on board for any shenanigans we collectively considered to be a good idea (in our slightly inebriated state, I might add, so the qualification of "good" for some shenanigans might still be open for debate).
The only Nordics I personally experienced as being a wee tiny bit more reserved sometimes than the others were the Norwegians, because at first, they often started out by just sitting there and enjoying themselves quietly, but one or two pints of a good Austrian brew always proved to be an excellent remedy for that. :-)
Although I'm still not sure if all the Finns fully understood why German native speakers liked the Finnish term "kippis" so much (Spoiler: it's the onomatopoeia, because it sounds very close to the German "kipp es" which would translate roughly as "bottoms up" in English).
@@drops2cents260 Interesting story, and you're actually right; the Finnish toast "kippis" is most likely a composite loanword from German, like you said. It was probably introduced to Finns by the Hansa traders who were doing business around the Baltic sea and surrounding areas for quite some time at 1300's. And there are actually a lot of Proto-Germanic loanwords in Finnish language, like "kuningas" meaning "king". Many of those words are quite old and not even used in modern Germanic languages anymore.
@@Baalaaxa
> the Finnish toast "kippis" is most likely a composite loanword from German, like you said
To be precise, I only referred to the similarity in pronunciation of Finnish "kippis" and German "kipp es" because I have no idea if it is actually a composite loanword from German.
I really wouldn't be surprised if that would be the case, though, actually I'd say it's at least very plausible (Wiktionary e.g. does claim too that it derives from German "kippen" (which means "to tip/tilt/upend/topple/dump" in English in general and also "to neck" a drink in British slang), but sadly doesn't provide any sources at all: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kippis).
@@AleksiHimself
Laddie, about that similarity between Finnish "kippis" and German "kipp es" we're discussing here - Do you have by chance any further knowledge (or maybe happen to know some Finnish linguists and/or historians who could elaborate)? **nudge nudge** :-)
That guy with the scarf makes me want to learn Finnish ahahah blushing haha
Good stuff!
My boyfriend is Finnish and I am from Czech Rep. It is funny how different we are. He is quiet and shy, I am opposite of him, but I must say it was him who made the first step. I never met better guy :)
Good stuff!
Finnish men are great 👍

How many blonds are in Finland? Holy cow
Lots! :P
Very common to find blondes in Finland and in the neighboring countries. I love blondes and used to seeing a lot of blondies.
EMV You can spot the real blondes from the fakes by looking at the root of the hair and the eye brow. The subtle detail gives it away.
@@crisyorke1328 Many blonde women colour their eyebrows darker with makeup. And hair and eyebrows don't always match. My hair is naturally blonde, but my brows are naturally brown... So it's difficult to tell :D
Mmmm saw that one, he is a noob.
Bravo Aleksi! Congratulations for the questions and choosing the right people to answer your questions with different points of view, creating diversity and making interview more attractive! Really professionally done! Congrates once again!
Just got into the channel, loved it man. I’m French, and my family has nothing to do with Finland, but I’m getting more and more attracted by the people and the country. Very interesting stuff you’ve got here! Great job. Love it! Gotta visit your country. Cheers from Bordeaux
Thanks Victor and welcome to your channel! ^^
My sisters husband is french and he is brilliant. And so is my sister.
I prefer Finnish to french people@@jussipankalainen6849
That long hair tall girl is like an angel. Her hair like a golden sun, her skin like a fairy lake, her words are like magic... I hope she finds true love.
I love Finnish people most. I think God send you guys to bless earth. Peace from Turkey.

Edit: Man, I really used to be this much of a simp 3 years ago. I want to apologise for the cringe

she is so cute does anyone know her instagram ? i really wish to check her
She's just perfect
I am a Serb, but I'm interested in Finnish language and culture, thanks to the internet I met some incredible people from there :D
That's great! This channel is perfect for you as I cover those topics, so remember to subscribe! How did you become interested in Finland?
Aleksi Himself Yup,i'm subscribed and I consider this channel really helpful. I found out some things about Finland through the geograpy lessons,my attention focused on stunning nature at first, and later, of course, metal music and nice people.
Jelena Eino if you ever end up in Finland let me know 😘♥️♥️ for the ultimate experience 😜
Oozy9Millimeetah ...ye

Found this Aleksi's hidden gem video. I would love to see more of your videos about dating Finnish/dating in Finland
More to come!
I like this language! I'm gonna learn it
Nice! I have a playlist of learning tips on my channel. You should check them out!
I can teach you☺️I am Finnish.
I'm trying to do so every once in a while but it's so different from Germanic and Romance languages, which makes it hard
Finnish isn't that hard to learn
Xela D It’s pretty damn hard I don’t even know it yet and I’m a Finn
I really liked everyone's answers about what they found attractive. Pretty much everybody focused on more important things that would build a more solid relationship and not just on the looks or more shallow stuff.
The girl with the scarf is really cute, she sort of reminded me of Johanna Kurkela.
Thanks for the comment Carla!
❤🇫🇮👍
After being on a military base with a Finnish army presence,it was my first real expose to Finnish people and I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life with them.A literal 12 out of 10.This video shows there's definitely more of them.I wish Finland wasn't so damn far from the US.Your culture and language are interesting and seems like I'd fit in seeing as Finns are quiet and reserved.And you have the highest percentage of blondes in the world.Win/win.
Good stuff! 😃🙌
and as a finnish woman i think foreigners are way more attractive than finnish people haha
Quiet, but not with alcohol. I even had a guy calling me terrorist when in a bar. Probably because i was speaking german and english. Or he didn't like that I have beard. I am finnish and hungarian so I don't look like a typical Dunham terrorist.
@@imaginaryfriend6409 Finns as a rule underestimate their own country and their ppl. It is very wrong.
Wow, the Girl with the long hair and scarf looks like ... i don't know ... an Elf lady from the lord of the Rings (without the ear). Beautiful!
Haha, great questions! Well, I think there's a line between cultures, but also, the native really wants to cut that line when he shows interest in a foreigner, so do it and try to learn (with respect, of course) something with that person besides the "love". Great video as always, Aleksi! Cheers from a foreigner haha
Thanks again John! Have a great weekend!
0:43 I really fell in love with the left one!!! She sooo pretty and she's also got a pretty smile!!!!!
She is indeed nice. :P
Finnish is a nice sounding language
I know, right? :)
What Finnish people about dating foreigners?
Finnish people: We're definitely the more attractive partner in the relationship
Which is 100% true lol

Very enlightening!
Thanks King!
I dated a Fin from Finland once. I learned a lot from her and it was a fantastic experience! I hope I find someone like her again
What did you learn from her?

Other Finnish videos: Finns don't like small talk we don't like doing it it's who we are.
Finns: just try and make small talk for your first approach.
Foreigners: we're never gonna make that trip to Finland are we?
HAHAHAAHAH
LOL funny! (But there is a difference, small talk is small, pointless, weather, hihowareyouwhatsup vs. f.e. this video's example: "I like your sweater", which is input, it tells that "you" have an opinion regarding "me" which you express; neither what a person is thinking about something - nor that other person - are small, those things are big, it is already pretty big talk. Or asking a question: "you" "want to know" about "me", etc. Neither you, not anything "about me" are small things, they are not the weather, and they put you out there, wanting to know something specific, that knowing having a reason; "you want to know" "about me". It is not presumptuous; hi (hi, but why, I don't know you - yet), how are you (what's it to you, why would I tell you, I don't lie or make big things small, this even my intimate friends know not to interrogate of me, why are you asking? It is most inconvenient.) Etc. Hopefully it gives a window to Finnish thinking, not corrupted by city people trying to be "open and international", losing themselves to asking everyone "how are you?!" Unless one wants to hear answers that are painful to say and to hear, empty and irrelevant, or sad, facing the realities of life. Going by, going on, not well, not so good, could be better, what is the point of it? If someone says "Good!", then maybe he is stupid, or lying, or having a super day, but it would be dishonest to say Good, every day, as this is not Paradise, we have to work/duties, whatnot personal things that are inconvenient to tell to strangers. But answering something more specific would be very painless and nice and meaningful, as opposed to awkward. It is better to say "hello" and then be silent, than to ask "how are you", or telling about the weather. "Hello, I like your sweater" would be brave input that includes both "you" and "me." You and me aren't small, like the weather, we are big. Too big to answer in "who are you?" or even "how are you?" on the go, without getting an odd look of distrust that you will nail your heels to the floor and discuss it for 5 minutes if you really must know.)
@@simohenrik1860 Thank you very much for the detailed and well explained "phenomena" behind what really is considered "small talk" in Finland (& Scandinavia). I had always had questions with regards to what exactly is small talk and it they don't like small talk how am I going to connect. Now you have explained that to me and it makes so much sense! Out of curiosity though, is it ever acceptable to approach a woman off the streets or in the store if maybe say I happen to like her? Can I walk to a random dude and tell him that I'm new in town and I'm looking for friends? Is that possible or not?

Thank you for the video!
+Denthoughts Thanks for the comment Denthoughts!
As a American, married to a Finn, this is my opinion. Women around the world are not that much different. Most single women are attracted to men that stand out, this can later turn to your disadvantage, if you are a A-hole. Finnish women expect foreigners to explain themselves fully in conversations, while they keep their answers short. It's a balancing act, talking to Finns, they want you to talk to them, but they do not want you to talk too much & always only the truth, until you get to know them. It is very tricky to understand how & why that every Finn, has their own sense of humor & it is so easy for them to think you are a idiot, if they do not think you are funny. American humor, may or may not work with Finns, save trying to be funny, until after you get to know her better. Before they know you, Finns are the most anti-social people in the world, but once you break the ice & get to know them, they are some of the most fun loving & beautiful people. Go slow, be sure of yourself, tell the truth, be ready to explain your answers, & understand that they may never have long answers for anything. On the positive side, if they don't like you, they will not even waste 2 seconds talking to you. If they are talking to you, they are interested in getting to know you more. Finns are the least "FAKE" people that I have ever met. If they are Gold Diggers, you will know it & they won't try to hide it. Most Finns never even consider lying about anything. This can hurt, if you later get into a fight. Compared to American women, they don't play games & are very up-front. They are worth the extra time & effort.
Not related to the video, but the language is so pretty??? I don’t know, something about the language sounds so comforting. I’d love to learn
It is!

Not really. I've met many Finnish girls like that. Finnish women are confident and can be a bit aggressive, that's very sexy IMO.
I know many of those girls after a while you just lose interest in them and they become really annoying.

Finns 🇫🇮 are always sympathetic to me. All people in this video are smart, kind and with good sense of humour. And moreover women are beautiful as well. I would really glad visit finland in my life. Pure nature, sauna in winter and drinking good vodka, nice people, some favourite music for me too (Jean Sibelius, Nightwish, HIM, Sunrise Avenue, Martti Vainaa, BomfunkMC). And also great hockey, which we always like to play with you. Greeting from CZ 🇨🇿.

In English: 6 words.
In Finnish: Talks for 20 seconds.
I am way older (way, way older) than most of these guys.
I've come to realise that many things don't really matter.
Of course, dating someone whose culture is very different will bring challenges and it might lead to problems. But not necessarily.
As for skin colour, eye colour, hair... it doesn't really matter.
A great smile, beautiful eyes, a shapely figure. Sense of humour is quite important.
I'm agee with you, absutely. And You can meet pretty women in all the races.
But how do you approach when Finns have such a need for personal space and do not like if someone comes on "too strong"? What is too strong? I am latina, so I am very open, direct, comfortable around anyone, expressive of emotions and thoughts, and affectionate - touching, kissing, etc. Probably scare Finns. lol :)
In general being direct is fine as long as you don't make them feel uncomfortable. (ex. saying what's up sexy could come across too strong). What I have used in the past for example: "Hi, sorry this is a bit random, but I think your scarf is cute." Hope that helps. :)
I'm latina! My husband is Finnish :) My husband said he liked how social I was and I made the first move which he appreciated since Finns are generally really shy. I live in Finland now! :)
That is actually kinda true and kinda not true😅😅in every country there are people who like to have their own space and people who are really open and easy to approach. I'am that kind of a person who just randomly come and give you a back hug lol👌😅😅😂and almost everyone i know are like that too..... that is just a stereotype

I took an AncestryDNA test this past December, and recently received the results. While I knew that my "farmor" was from Finland, I was surprised to learn that the single largest percentage of my DNA (24%) comes from Finland (Pohjanmaa). Farmor was born in Helsinki -- as was her father -- but her mother was from Borga. Farfar's family is also exclusively from Finland, but they're actually Swedish (Ahvenanmaa or Aland Island). :D So I just discovered these videos, exploring out of curiosity! :D

I think dating foreigners seems complicated when it become more serious
Indeed! I can relate as I have foreign girlfriend myself, especially when you don't live in the same country. 😅
mizuki yang If you fall in love with someone, those difficulties should not stand in your way. We all (probably) live only once and making the best out of it might be a good idea. In your death bed, hopefully not sooner than at least a hundred years from now, what will you think? Will you congratulate yourself for not taking any chances and having lived safely, or will you congratulate yourself for living your life and, while making some mistakes, having had fun and maybe found the love of your life? These are the questions to ask. :D
Yup, I agree. It's just bound to be a lot of work so you really have to be willing to work for it if you want an international relationship to work.
I don't really believe in the whole "The one and only!" stuff, as I think there are plenty of people out there who'd be a great match for someone, so it'd really have to be something extremely special for me to consider dating someone from another country. It'd probably also have to be someone from a nearby country, that'd make distance, culture differences etc. less of a concern for me.
I'm from Denmark and if I was dating someone from one of the other Nordic countries, from Germany or from the Netherlands there probably wouldn't be many cultural problems to work out. There are differences for sure, but they're not that big really. It'd also be fairly easy to go visit friends and family once in a while since the distances aren't that crazy.
Dating someone from the other side of the world just wouldn't be something I would be interested in. I suppose it might work out if they planned on settling here for good, but I have no intention of suddenly moving to South America, Japan or whatever so I'd not actively seek out a relationship with someone from such far-away countries.
Any relationship has plenty of things to work on, to deal with etc. Adding a whole bunch of extra issues (distance, cultural differences, values, perhaps religion, dietary restrictions etc. etc) on top of that just doesn't seem worthwhile to me honestly. Of course you should never say never, and all of that stuff, but it just seems needlessly complicated to me to be perfectly honest. There are plenty of wonderful people right here in Denmark (and the surrounding countries) to date. :P
So what about a baby?

Four years ago,i worked as a waiter in Rhodes island.I never worked with tourists before,it was my first time.Until then,couple of years,i had to do only with Greeks.So i was terrified because everyone in my country were saying for the foreigners,especially for Scandinavian people,that they are cold,unhappy,robot,etc and i was wondering how i will do my job if i have to work with this kind of people.For the first two weeks i was very anxious.I was stretching my arm to leave the glasses on the table and i had so obvious tremble that many of them started to laugh.So i was trying to save the situation with jokes and by saying '''i drunk too much last night''' and stuff like this.The people laughed harder and told me jokes as well.I began to feel better and better everyday.At the end i was totally comfortable.They saw and understood how i was feelin and instead of tease me,they helped me with their way to go happy for work.I haven't friends from my country.In Rhodes i made friends from all over the world.I loved them.Especially the people from Finland.I discovered that they are sweet and very very good people and they have high culture.One culture that we don't have in Greece-and will never have.And the girls.The Finnish girls are the most beautiful in the world.I loved them too.Do you know why?Because they were fabulous as goddesses of love and nevertheless they were so cute,so approachable.In my country the girls are snob.They can't make even a conversation.They are bored with themselfes and with the others.For the only thing they care is for their nails and hairs.They reject you with one very bad way,they make you feel awful and you regret just because you tried to talk to them.They are miserable.With the Finnish girls,to the other hand,you can talk for a lot of things.They are optimistics,they have dreams and purposes,they have hobbies and interestings and even if they don't see you in erotic way they deny so wonderful that you don't feel bad afterwards,instead you say '''ok,let's continue our drink'' and that's all.I had some girlfriends from Finland and i always remember them with love.So i can't accept people like greeks.People who tease me just because i am musician and i write poems.Just because i choose to think,to worry,to feel.I can't be acceptable from people who doesn't gives a shit about the life and see me crazy in love for her.And yes,i would like to live in Finland if i could.To meet one nice,right person to get married and make our children and be happy.Anyways.You never know when you will meet the right person as a friend said at the comments.God bless you all.
That's so true about Greek girls
Unfortunately yes..
It is just natural to want to be with your own.
It makes sense but nationality isn't the most important thing for everyone.
Absolutely.
It’s the combination of compatibility, culture, chemistry, attractiveness, values.
Not really; I come from a country where foreigners are idealised.
Dunno...nature likes mixing up the gene pool to keep things fresh too...
great. Thank you for this. :D
Thanks for the comment Leigh Parker!
Finnish people seem great :D im thinking of living finland. Btw i also heard schools in finland are very good, so i guess its a really excellent country
I'm from Brazil, I was watching to hear how you guys sounds like... I watched another video where the girl pronounced the alphabet, the letters are pronunced in the same way as in portuguese.... but when you guys speak it is totally different but I think it is not impossible to learn, at least is readable hehe...
Yeah, I found the alphabet pretty easy and the pronunciation is not a problem also, they have very few phonemes we are not used to, easier to pronounce than English, for sure. The grammar, though! Quite scary 😱 (I'm Brazilian too).
Sou do Brasil também e estou estudando finlandês, tem umas palavras difíceis mas no geral é bem ok, não acho impossível
My beautiful blond neighbours!! :D Greetings from Poland! Never change for the world
Thanks for the comment Ziemomysł!
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland be careful which profile you give a like...his profile picture strongly resembles a swastika
I agree Pols mary Pols and keep Pols beautiful.
@Benjamin Mellin slightly ? cmon :-)))
I'm was born in Kotka and I'm half Finnish, my mother's family is mainly Karelian but mixed with some Swedish and Dutch. The other half is Jewish, my mom met my dad during a trip to Israel
Jonathan Allen nice, I was born in Kotka too.
I really love te language! It sounds so different from anything I'm used to
I'm glad!
The girl in the beige jacket is really challenging the stereotype that Finns are shy and reserved lol
She was quite outgoing indeed!
The girl in the black and white scarf seems like she would be a lot of fun! I am American but of Finnish descent. All of my great grandparents immigrated from the Oulu area of Finland. I did a DNA test and it says I am 96.8% Finnish. Number one on my bucket list is to visit Oulu. I am learning a lot about Finland watching your videos. Thank you, Aleksi, for making them!
Thanks Jessi! I've met her a few times after the video and she is quite fun! I'm glad you find some value out of my videos. :)
Hi Aleksi...you're cool guy. I always want to visit finland. I'm very impressed with finnish society...Cheers from Croatia :)

Thanks for the comment beres eres!
quit swinging your headphones around youre going to break them ;o;"""
Keep it up broehh um tenku jup senho :-)
Finnish girls are so educated, school level is high there. They are emancipated. So they are good to be in a relationship with. I am half Finnish and I am here some months, also to visit family, and there are lot of nice girls, but most are distant a bit. Last time in supermarket a girl asked me to pick something high off the shelve, and it was a chance to talk, but I didnt want to give feeling of being respectful. I come from Netherlands a much rude and open social culture and social talk is normal. But when people are harder to conversate with i become more closed too. Its quite a culture shock. We'll see how long i stay here.
4:34 finally she said it, stop wasting time and go straight for the awnser!
Yep! Just take action!
Im totally fell in love with the girl with Laptop at 2:22 Jesus she is like a Dream!!!! Aleksi i m coming to Tampere bro!! Tell her im from Greece

I like Finland. The language, women, culture, etc.

@@AleksiHimself yeah. Finnish music is good, as well.
I like move in Finland to work and study.
I find Finnish people really attractive inside, honest, intelligent and educated.
Finnish girls are too really beautiful and attractive.
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke and hate any kind of drug.
I like to make interesting and stimulating talks about innovation, technology, nature, science, math, economy, etc.
I don't like small talk.
I like gym and dance salsa, meringue, bachata and tango.
Have I possibility to approach a Finnish girl ?
Everyone has a chance to go to talk to a Finnish girl. Just say "hi".
Where are you from m8?
@@johnDoe-yt4bx I'm from Italy but I want to live in Finland or Sweden or Norway ASAP because I love the nordic countries and mentality.

You sound really desperate.. Good luck tho.
Aleksi you look better with no glasses haha! What country are you come from? Nice channel..! Thanks for all your videos

The girl in the black shirt with the "Yoga" laptop computer at the 6:00 mark is absolutely stunning. She could be a Disney princess. Wow.
Thanks for the comment!
0:30 the girl on the right is so beautiful
Good stuff!
Omg this language sounds so amazing !!I just realized that I want to learn it !(From Hungary)
That's great! Finnish and Hungarian belong to the same family tree, so maybe that's why? :P If you want to start learning and don't know where to start, check this out: ruclips.net/video/6-B1lgk5p9U/видео.html
Aleksi Himself - Videos about Finland Kiitos!And if You can next time you should make a video with a Hungarian!That would be just amazing!:p For example:A Hungarian tries speaking Finnish or something like that...

Thanks 💯
People in north are intelligent and friendly, girls are beautiful, nice to look at and listen to=) greetings from Russia
Finns are the sexiest men on Earth
You've got a great taste for men! Cooking is always an asset. ;) Which part of Finland are you going to visit?
Aleksi Himself Helsinki, but immediately after arriving I would take a train to Kuopio (if my friend is not repented by then!) And then to Kotka. Not so much time (9-10 days), but I hope to be able to try famous mämmi and Kalakukko.
Btw: I can cook karjalanpiirakat ;).
Terveisiä Meksikosta
Sounds like fun trip! Will you meet some Finnish guys too? :P
What if he is bald??
I hope so ;).
I'm Russian but I want to date Finnish women they're so beautiful
Thanks for the comment ФриФрайс Нигга!
But you'll be met with as much resistance as they had in the Winter War
Finland used to be part of Russia, Vikings and Slavs make a big part of your people. Russia and Finland are both white countries, and long ago Finland was part of Russia, so it might be good, Dobri Daine .
@@dalekirkendall5283 Finland was in the Russian empire only for a very short time compared to the Scandinavian rule.
@@dalekirkendall5283 russia is not a white country its eurasian
Being more social is such a game changer that the most talkative girl seemed more attractive to me than anyone that was interviewed..
It makes me think if this is just a cultural thing (I'm Brazilian) or it's something more universal.
I'm not a scientist nor an expert of human behaviour, but in my opinion its kind of universal trait. It's a human thing, we generally enjoy the company of people who we find easily relatable. And if a person is sociable, talkative, funny, friendly and easygoing we tend to be attracted to them. On the contrary, if a person is reserved, quiet, distant, etc. we can find them harder to relate to, or even resemble a possible threat to us.
@@Baalaaxa I don’t think it’s a universal thing. I would also get defensive if someone came on to me “too strong” like they said. I wouldn’t mind a guy that talks but I wouldn’t mind one that doesn’t talk much either. I’m not saying this is entirely a cultural thing either, tho. I’d say it’s mostly personal. Even if in Finland, for example, people tend to be a bit more open than in Latin America, there are still Finns that are sociable/ like sociable people and Latin Americans that are shy/ like shy people. People are just different from each other, tbh.
@@Baalaaxa I agree! I would prefer girls from more open cultures instead of reserved cultures. I can connect with her easily.
My grandfather was Finnish, he married a west African. It all turned out great i.e ME!!! he was reserved but fantastic.
The girl who is with laptop and wearing black clothes, you are my dream 🤩😅
0:55 girl on the right is damn cute.
You're not the first one the mention that! :P
on the left isnt bad either
Yo creo qué así como yo soy (normalmente extrovertido in deutsch, español,and english) creó qué podría hacer bastantes amigos, por supuesto con personas inteligentes, así como ellos en la entrevista!!👍👍
To be honest I'm not so sure about dating someones that's comes from a culture way different that mine 😞, but for a culture exchange well be cool I am a very curious person. When it comes with apearences never mind I always liked something new 👐 you'r channel is really complete, great job alek.
