I am Italian and if Italians give you compliments because of your eyes, trust me, it is not because we always give compliments (this is sort of true though) but because your eyes are ACTUALLY amazing. You have to consider also the kind of beauty we are used to. In Italy most girls have a Mediterannean beauty, which makes us more "sensitive" to Nordic beauty (natural blond hair, deep blue eyes, etc.), as we are not used to it in our everyday life. So don't assume our compliments are not genuine: we also mean them!

As a Norwegian guy i can confirm that Norwegians are very silent. If you just start talking to a Norwegian guy at the buss they will start thinking that you're crazy, but if you want Norwegians to talk a little bit more, get to known with him. They don't like to meet strangers that seems very turned on. If you're just a little bit silent too and talk slowly, then it's easier to get to known with him. And i promise, Norwegian men talks alot if they know you. Just sayin

ROMANS AND VIKINGS

Hahaha, as someone with an Italian man, I agree with you! I am showered with compliments everyday, and he literally wakes up an hour early to cuddle with me. Who does this?

Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo at 2:59 hahaha

I am an italian girl and I have dated both italian and norwigian boys (when i was on Holiday in the US) and i can tell it’s all true! If you want a man that makes you feel almost like protected and treats you like a princess you should go for the italians. If you want a shy, misterious and attractive boy go for the Norwegians! Personally prefer the Norwegians because sometimes the italians are even too open and feel like they’re the men and they have the control. But it’s a personal choice and I feel like we are all attracted to the opposite and probably that’s why norwegian girls prefer italian men and italian girls prefer northern boys 🙈

Cool video, Ida! I find Norwegians and Italians are as far as you can get in culture in Europe :)

I love Norwegian! They are handsome, respectful with women and can be romantic if they are in love. their feelings are not vulgar. I worked for a long time with Norwegian men and also from other cultures and I can tell you, they are the BEST!

I am half Norwegian and half Italian so guess I am cool ^^

You've got dazzling wonderful eyes.

the young generation of italian are way taller than the oldest

2:59 that is a masterpiece of italian cinema, a sicilian guy yelling on the phone like there's no tomorrow? you cant get any better than that

I love Italians and their culture ! They are fun and creative and a little bit crazy !

I was married to a handsome Italian. if given a chance I would want to experience it all over again.He was so loving and romantic

Based on my experiences in life for me the best men and the most handsome men in the planet are Italian men. They are so romantic ,faithful and down to earth. I am mix Brazilian and Filipino,I believe in every race there are beautiful people but Italian men captures my heart they're beauty is EXOTIC AND it is intoxicating:) 😍😍😍😍

I don't know why I got your video on my feed, I'm Mexican but I had a norwegian roommate for a year and learned a few things from her, basic words like tusen takk hahah! 😂

Please remember that you're tall, blone and with blue eyes, for most of the italian men you're their stereotype of beauty, so it's quite normal they say you, how you're beautiful. Anyway it's not true that girlfriends are second to mom, mom is important, probably italian men just need to take care of their girlfriend without forgetting how their parents, especially their mom, were (and are) important for them for everything they did for them.

I love this :D so funny, thanks for sharing!

Haha! Great video, glad I found your channel :)

Amazing video and amazing soundtrack. I like the way you speak! You got a new subscriber :D Ciao da Milano!

CONFESSION FROM 1 ITALIAN MAN: My mother is still the woman who gave me birth, suffering and staying beside me when I couldn't take care of myself on my own. It wouldn't be fair from my side to abandon her or make her feel "useless", or drop her out of my life, when she becomes more needy and I become more self-sufficient. So to me I'll always help her out and respect her. Said that, I personally wouldn't compare my relationship with her to a profoundly established relationship with a partner/girlfriend. I know that many Italian guys are "mammoni", but I don't find myself in that category. I cook vegan, but am not good at fixing engines, as I just detest cars! So, I would fit the stereotype of Italians being not-as-useful as Norse men in helping out with a broken car. About the compliments, I just don't like lies, so I don't lie in my compliments, but while to me saying "you're really beautiful", my personal tastes of beauty (not necessarily classical ones) to my eye are very important and fulfilling, to someone else (more commonly among beholders of that beauty) it's a surface quality... which certainly doesn't have to be ALL about that person's qualities. Yes, I am emotional, but below the Italian average. I love Norse women's physical presence and several aspects of the mentality (I mean it, not just empty words) generally speaking.

2:59 Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo are the best XD Nice video

yay i loved this video :) watching from Australia

La mamma è sempre la mamma ♡

Well, your experience was almost the same as my wife when she met me. I am the one who is part Italian and I actually made her day on our first date when I took her to my home and made her an actual homemade Italian meal. Also, you're right about the Italian mom thing. My wife learns to deal with it and I simply try to counteract my mom getting too involved by asserting my male authority in our household (without letting my mom actual make the family decisions, especially since she doesn't live with us), while assuring my wife that my mom is important, but not more important than her. It's a juggling act, to say the least. For what it's worth, if you're married to an Italian man and you have sons, then it's fair game and you can always take the role of the 'Italian mom'. I tell my wife this and she doesn't like to hear it, but it doesn't matter because our sons were inclined in being 'momma boys' even without her initially wanting to make this be the family structure; it just ended up that way so far. Now she just accepts that 'role' and tries to make sense out of it.

I’m actually half Norwegian and half Italian so this video was really interesting what woman think about both my ancestral culture

I like the candle on top of your books !

you funny, loving your videos. Love your sense of humor too

Le ragazze Italiane sono più smart nel riconoscere i farfalloni italiani. Romantici? Vestirsi bene, auto lussuosa e cena non significa essere romantici.

Norwegian men are so handsome!

HAHAHA, Aldo,Giovanni and Giacomo's quote made me laugh a lot!

You are so cute and beautiful! 😊 I found your video in my news feed since i'll be traveling to Milano by the end of the year and KZfaq suggested your video, lol.. I had a good laugh and enjoyed watching it 😂👍 I'm subscribing! 😊👍

please I need a Norwegian in my life!

I wish I watched your videos when I was dating in Europe! Norwegian guys were so confusing to me. Thank you!

Nice comparison. I also love my mother. I left London for her when she went through surgery and since then in 2001 I am with her. Take care!

I want to live in Norway seriously. I live in the South Coast in Spain, I heve met lot of Norwayan people and I love how they are. Greetings from Andalucia, Spain

loved ur vid

Vikings r the most handsome, mealy if they have long blond hair..😍😍😍

lol @ the scene with the Italian guy in the bath tub and his mom pets his feet sticking out of the water !

I lived in Norway for 5 years. Most of norwegian men wanted me to come to their house for "netflix and chill", and no matter how far they lived, they would never come to pick girl up. The most boring type of men to date are norwegians, but seem to be good family guys

"they say all the time 'oh you're beautiful, your eyes are beautiful..."... isn't it maybe that you really are stunning?

I can not speak about us as a men, nor about Italians, I am str8.. but as a Norwegian I can speak about Italian girlfriend I had some years ago. It was the funniest and the most carring person ever. We sadly broke up, at it was all my fault, I lived wild life, went to parties, drank every day, and behaved like a selfish moron towards her, made jelous scenes all the time and literally tortured her beain, hurted her many times, and all that time she was still caring and trying to find a way to deal and to communicate normally with me. And the worst thing is she loved me sober, hated me drunk, but I had anxiety attacks where only alcohol could help me to socialize with other people. She is married now and we are now good and very close friends, very important in eachother lives, I’ve changed, but I will never forgive myself why I wasn’t more mature and nicer to her, and eventually married her. Took me like a two years to recover a bit after we broke up. And even nowadays I so much miss her, despite I am in a happy relationship. Back to the topic lol Our girls have their own qualities, southern have some behavior patterns that we don’t really understand, maybe because we are more reserved, but opposite attracts after all. I totally understand while Norwegian women fall on the fluffy southern mentality. Even that Italian gf called me uptight all the time :D Annoyed the hell out of me lol But that trolling was also funny in the same time. Overall I would say southerns and northers do attract eachother.

ahahaha I laughed sooo much... I backup everything, this video is soo true!

Well, what can I tell you? We love mamma because she is the first chef teacher in our life

My Norwegian friend in grand school was fun. I liked that she was very direct and could be blunt. It was sometimes very shocking her attitude toward sex, which for her could just be casual. I thought she would end up with a white guy, though she dated a range, but she married a guy who was half Korean and then took him back to Oslo. The most unusual thing about her was that she was super petite...which I don't associate with Norwegians.

as an Norwegian man myself i aprove of this video

My Italian husband cooks for me...even baked my favorite kind of Italian bread! And yes he lets me grab something I want to buy for myself and then he takes it an buys it for me. So sweet

I love your intro :)

"Difference between Italian and Norwegian men" * shows a picture of Swedish actor, Alexander Skarsgård. * lol ;P

About compliments it's also that you probably get a lot of compliments because you look exotic in Italy given that you are blonde with blue eyes and clearly don't look italian; people generally give more compliments to those who look different, exotic, special compared to the general population :)

Aldo rimarrà sempre il migliore😂😂

Var morsomt å se på 🥳

This was soooo funny!

i actually like more scandinavian men then italian :D they are tall , blonde, blue eyes and i love the equlity and the fact that they are more shy :D when i was in Norway and Sweden i didn't know where to look ,there were beautiful men everywhere seriously!!

This video was so funny, thanks

This is scaringly accurate! A friend of mine is Italian and is exaclty like the men you describe. He also says that most Italian men have the samme attitude towards women as he has. Vennlig hilsen en nordmann

"unlucky for me, he is not my boyfriend" YOU LOVE CARLO CRACCO AS MUCH AS US, YOU'RE ONE OF US! ahaha anyway, norweguans men are so fascinating

I am italian, I dated with two norwegian girls in my life. At first, I asked them to get out and have fun, but they refused. Then, after 10-15 days they text me "Hey, are you ok for a drink together?". For my experience, norwegian girls really toil to let the control to guys, as it was disrespect for themselves. At the same time they really find love, and if you say " you are wonderful" sincerely they have no problem to show their feelings. Obviously I don't want to generalize, every person is different, but after a lot of time together, once a girl sad "You are better than my ex norwegian boyfriends because you are manly and I feel good

You're funny! I really want to visit Norway or maybe work there for awhile.

Bravissima Ida!

I am italian, i am taller than an average norwegian man. I dont use gestures, and people always tell me im "too quiet". Maybe because i am half dutch?

So and the end of this video "All men are quite similar" so that means that a guy from Congo is almost the same to a swedish or norwegian guy..aahahah.that's funny!!

You are adorable and the video was really interesting :)

Beautiful Hostess... The way a man treats and loves his Mother is the best indication of how he will treat and love you and vice versa... So Momma's boys are your best bet for a happy life and same with girls and their fathers... Finally, remember love is our nature and we have no control over nature! We can not make ourselves love nor stop. So...

yes, for italian men maybe the mother is very important, but this will be an advantage for you in the future if you will have some italian sons...:D

Lasse is absolutely the best man ever!

Hahahah Thank you for sharing this video! It's so funny because my husband is half italian and half danish. But he's definitely more italian than Scandinavian. as compared to his brother who is more scandinavian than italian!

I like the way you say Nice - "NISUUUU" :D

So my husband is Italian. Some of this is true because yes they do love their moms but since Indian culture is the same as far as respect for parents I was fine with that . Plus his mom is awesome help with our 4 kids . As far as food she is a life saver when I had my children I never worried about cooking for months. He definitely knew how to be romantic and bossy at the same time. Hence I was knocked up with in 2 months of dating. Italian men know what they want and don’t hesitate to let u know. Plus my husband is super handy . So idk I guess everyone is different doesn’t matter the culture.

Norwegian guys are the BEST, they are Vikings....

hahah mildly accurate! I love it! saludos

I love this video. You make my day smiley , espetially at min 2:59 lol Immagine how much happie can be a woman with an Italian man if he really loves her ;)

Best moment 2:58

Kjempe bra. Jeg er Britisk men jeg proever og laere meg litt norsk. Elsker norske jenter!

Thank you for sharing.

I'm watching all your videos, for 2 reasons: 1 - they are funny and entertaining! 2 - you are sooooooo beautiful! My goshh.. I can't stop watching you! Your bf is so lucky 🍀 👏🌸🔝😂

omg carlo cracco ahaah nice video, I think on average you are right but it very much depends on different people...not everyone has the same charcter because of his nationality, but I assume this is taken for granted XD ( 0:40 says it all )

I gotta say, As an italian, I will always love my mamma and papa', they are the only people you can trust for ever in your life(at least for me). The person who can be the same as my parents could be my future possible wife, but I don't how can a girl that I am dating be upon my parents. it's not about connection, it's about true love, it's about the family that you love and the girl that you really love who will be important as you parents. So when you are italian it's about give really worth to people considering them part of your family ;)

The Last king! I love that movie!!

My God...your eyes😻😻😻😻 PS:We love Lasse the Viking😋

A mother born you to this world with pain and took years to grow you up as a man for love of her child. How can you other people do not respect that?!?

Norway vs. Italy: chads only edition... pfffttt lmao

Hi Ida! Nice video, being an Italian I agree with what you say. I wanted to ask you where did you take the extract about the Italian "mamma" from? What video is it? It looks like a tv commercial. Thank you, grazie, takk

This is amazing! I am seeing a man born in Italy and raised in Norway. He says he is more Norwegian influenced but he seems super romantic so far! Any advice?

So sorry to hear that "for your italian boyfriend you will be always number 2".... it's actually not true, we just have a different relationship with our mother; it is maybe seen different from the "outside", but I would never consider my girlfriend or wife less important. But eventually the rest is common.

always exageration on italians, specially from you north europeans. People are different, not everyone ''loves'' their mama in the way you are showing. Same with this romantic view you have, i know shitloads of friends who don't have a clue how to treat a woman. Anyway greatings from Rome.

hey! nice video, for once i have to admit everything you said about us italians, is actually true, except the love for mamma. when we are in love with someone, we put her/him at the first place together with mamma, or well, not at the 2 place, it depends. anyways, you truly are one of a kind, i know many people probably told you so, but trust me you really look interesting, intelligent and obviously beautiful! bellissima eheheheh

Wow I didn’t know Norwegian girls are so gorgeous.love the video content 🙂

I liked your video, it was funny that you have developed such a noticeable Italian accent in english though rather than Norwegian. Have anybody else commented that you sound Italian? As a Norwegian man, I got to say some of the problems with Norwegian men are really a Norwegian problem. Norwegian men and women simply aren't very good at interacting with each other. Norwegian women don't typically signal that they are approachable. Latin women are usually a lot better at this. I've found it much easier to approach women from latin countries than Norwegian ones. I think we Norwegians are just kind of socially inept in general. Of course it varies in Norway from the region. E.g. I find women from Trøndelag very friendly and approachable. And yeah we Norwegians are terrible at giving complements even when there is something we like. It is not just men to women but also to friends and colleagues. I don't know about you but I find it just cringe-wordy to give complements. If I do that to a girl, I automatically think that she will get mad at me and think I am hitting on her and trying to get into her pants. Sad I know. But I am pretty sure a lot of Norwegian guys think this way. Anyway on the internet nobody knows you so I'll give you a complement. You do have very nice eyes. It is like you have a sparkle in them, so I would not be surprised if men gave you complements about them in Italy. I am pretty sure Norwegian men also think that, but there is no way in hell that we would tell that to you face to face :-P

The fact that italians are short it's just a stereotype, an average italian man is more less 1.80-1.83 (obviously in the south 1.75-1.80, and in the north 1.80 - 1.85)

Ida, your italian is good, good accent. Too your english. Your personality from Norway is calm and interesting like me. I'm italian man but I'm TOTAL different from your description. I love quit and clam place, I don't like loud and prefer people like you so calm and quiet, for me is very important !

You should have over 500k subs

Hei, jeg er italiensk. Hilsen fra Italia! Vi elsker deg ❤️

Dating mens in Norway is also about a mama.... a mama of their own children from previous marriage 🙈

Nothing can beat the Mediterranean look
