7 reasons why you should never date a Swede
Yesterday I posted a blog on 7 reasons why not to date an Italian and I was asked to do the same about the Swedes. Now I don’t mean the vegetable, but the nationality. As my Swedish friend has published a similar kind of Facebook post today about why not to date Dutch girls, may you be the judge and say which nationality is worse! So here they come, inspired by my Swedish friend Jonas, enjoy!
7 reasons why you should never date a Swede.
1. When you have a child together it has to be named Fredrik, Henrik or Anders
And when it’s a girl, the name will be Arna, Etta or Gulla…
2. When he comes home drunk, forget about going on your next holiday
Because the money you saved up is now finished. Every drink costs a fortune in Sweden.
3. Don’t expect spontaneous sex
The Swedes live by the rules. Everything happens when it’s planned and you’re supposed to have a ticket for things and show it when your turn is up.

4. You might spend the rest of your life driving a Volvo
No one is sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.

5. Everything you’ll have to live with together in that lovely apartment is from IKEA
Ready for a nice entire Saturday at IKEA?

6. He is a guy that has ABBA in his CD collection
This speaks for itself.

7. You’ll always be reminded by your friends that you’re dating the chef from the Muppet show…
Because he talks the same way.

So, once again, you’ve been warned.
Have you ever dated a Swede? How was it?
About Renate Rigters
Ever since I left my home country I felt at home at any other place I went to. I enjoy getting to know more cultures by talking to strangers and hearing their philosophy about life. Speaking with gestures when you can not find a shared language, finding places only the locals go to and learn about their customs and values. Hanging out with local people makes me happy. The experience of every new place is a step out of your comfort zone where I like to wander around until it feels like a second home.

Don’t believe the hype, here’s the real problem;-):
7 reasons why you should never date a Dutch girl
1. She’s probably fake blond. And it will take you half a dozen dates to find out.
2. Dutch girls eat everywhere: on the bike, on the train and undisputedly also in bed!
3. They wear sturdy shoes and practical clothes for every occasion. Dressing up is almost a sin. Where’s sexiness when you want it? Oh, no! They have to be able to step on their bike in a moments notice!
4. The day after that amazing party where you met her she will take you to the corner shop and buy you a raw herring.
5. They act like they own the place and situation. Being really feminist – until the bill has to be paid…
6. Dutch girls are loud. Always. In every situation. Your neighbors will know what you’re up to.
7. …and they wear their bikinis for years, until they are totally worn out…then they complain about it on their blogs…
A special thanks to Cecilia, who has competed with Dutch girls for years. Successfully. And Marcel, who dated Dutch girls for 30 years – and then made the obvious choice…
I think that’s all reasons to actually go on a date with a Dutchy 😉 Haha!
About having a child (boy together: Even Erik or Magnus is an option!
Magnus… that sounds pretty phenomenal. I like it!
I have never heard the names Arna, Etta or Gulla… 😉
#5 is actually a plus! I love Ikea hahaha
We all have at least one piece of furniture from Ikea haha!
Dated a Stockholm girl. Definitely had Stockholm syndrome.
I worked with a Dutch guy in a construction ,every Thursday when we got paid he will show me the envelope and he’ll say see this tonight my wife might let me have sex with her after i give it to her ,it seemed a bid odd ,been Greek sex is on the spot whether you have an envelope or not! most of the time anyway !!! on the kitchen table, on the floor, in the corner etc
