I totally agree with what the Philippine woman say about actions. Is it really so important being said often "I love you" or is it more important that your partner shows that with his/her actions? It's true that Finns may not be very good at expressing feelings but actions do really speak here. And honestly, I prefer a man that takes his part in home stuff (like cleaning and cooking) than a man who buys you expensive stuff regularly or is like super gentleman but expects you to do all the work at home. Thumbs up for Finns

Growing up in Australia as the child of a Finnish man and Phillipino Burmese woman, this resonates so much with me. I feel that Dad was more a pessimist than lacked confidence in himself. It was a strange sort of pessimism because it was aligned with a tremendous perseverance. I could see mum especially struggled so much with the way he showed his affection, the word stoic is how I would have described him. Warm, funny and accepting of his friends, other Aussies often found him reserved and aloof which he thought was in no way the case as he never meant to be, he tried to be as approachable as he could (based on Finnish standards). Growing up here I could see other parents said "I love you" to their children so when I was about 15 I told him I loved him to his face, I still remember how he really struggled to process it and he didn't respond for a few days so I persevered until I got a mumbled reply lol. He managed to loosen up eventually and could respond appropriately which was helpful for us kids. It wasn't until after he was gone I heard about things he quietly did for people that meant a great deal to them, he never bragged, in fact the greater the deed the less chance there would be of him mentioning it. A unique sense of humour, surprised when you approach them, logical, law abiding, hard working and reliable seems to be common good traits I observed in my Dad and the other Finns I have met.

I once was so in awe of a Finnish man. He was so like a king in his posture and extremely handsome. I have spoken to him just a few words. Our choir was at an international choir festival in Basque country, with choirs from many countries. There also was a choir from Finland. This man was in his early sixties and I in my forties but I was totally smitten. That is all I know of Finnish men. Greetings from the Netherlands!

@ebisk 3 жыл бұрын

I met my finnish bf in Japan and I almost scared him off with my flirting/coming onto him :'))) Luckily he came around though, he's actually the most loving and well put together person I've been with. I feel like the biggest difference between him and guys in Australia is that he has a lot of respect for women (although him and his mom and grandma are really close so I feel like this influenced him a lot growing up) and his responsibility/accountability I guess? He will help with house chores/cooking/cleaning/washing ect. and I definitely agree that he is very very loyal. I like his bluntness in some cases; that I don't have to guess at what he's thinking/feeling. Although in other cases there are times that things should be said more delicately which can lead me feeling not hurt exactly but wondering why he didnt put it better ahaha. Obviously a lot of what was said are generalisations, and not all Finnish men are like that. But I feel like Finnish men are way better than Australian men imo. I don't mind that my bf isn't a huge talker, because I love to talk a lot, and I think I've kind of influenced him a little in that regard. He gives me loving words and compliments a lot which rubbed off onto him from me. I love my Finnish boi

I always offer to pay on the first date; if she insist on paying for her half, beyond the point of simple politeness, it’s often a sign that the date did not go well and she doesn’t want any feeling of reciprocity. My own rule of thumb is who ever initiated the date also offers to pay. Bonus point, if you offer to pay you can throw in a lead to a second date “I insist ... you can get the next one”. ;)

I'd say that's the usual approach here in the US. I, as a woman, prefer to split the bill and apparently I'm in the extreme minority! But I do agree with you in that I think that whoever asked should at least offer to pay. It's always interesting to see how different people go about this situation, even in the same culture.

As a South-African citizen I find them to be quite the spice of life, it is quite easy to find fault in their culture as it is with every culture, the only very Finnish problem you get are the dots. They speak their mind, awesome attribute and sharing the same interest makes for great conversation, besides I commend them for their bluntness, what they do in public we do in private, At least they are honest. They actually do show affection if they comfy with you and trust you and they go to great lengths to help when you are in need. Their actions speak their hearts and minds. Things women complain about can be found in every culture on both sides of gender, they differ from lazy to responsible. Finnish know how to express themselves, If you worth it, they will make sure you know it or otherwise.

I think this each paying their own share relates to stuff beyond dating. In Finland there is a strong feel of independence and splitting the bill equally among friends doesn't happen either but everyone is supposed to pay what they ordered because if someone orders some expensive stuff and one wasn't hungry and just ate appetizers, that'd be unfair to pay for equal shares. This gets particularly complicated when travelling abroad in countries where you tip and waiters bring just one bill. The menu says one price, you're supposed to pay another price (because employers are such arseholes and don't pay decent salaries) and bill says a third one. A nightmare!

In America, the custom is that if you ask somebody out on a date, you are generally expected to pay. Men are substantially more likely to be the one doing the asking, and thus more likely to end up paying, but if a woman does ask a man out, then she's expected to pay. There is a thing called "Dutch treat", where everybody pays for their own. This is the norm when groups of friends go out together, in situations where no particular person is necessarily paired up with any other particular person; but dutch treat can also happen between two people, if they agree on that ahead of time. There are also other situations, e.g., if person A invites person B to hang out, and while they are spending time together, person B suggests going into a particular establishment -- if they end up spending money in there, they probably won't expect person A to pay, because going into that establishment was their own idea, not something person A invited them to do.

Yes I do expect the guy to pay on the first date. I can't really say why, but it's like a tradition and with that he kind of shows me that he cares. If we would split the bill, it feels a bit odd to me. If I would pay as a woman everything, that would be super odd. To 5:22, I am not sure if she means the same, but I remembered with this: Finnish men don't get hints easy. If I say for example: "I would want to meet you today", they take it literally and you can just get an "ok" back from a finnish guy. Or if you say: "Look, aren't these flowers pretty, I would like to have some for our home", you can also get an ok back and it doesn't lead anywhere. BUT if you say "Can you buy me these flowers", most likely the guy will say yes and you get that what you want. Which is strange. I live here since 3 years and I'm still confused that guys don't get the hint. 7:32 and 8:12 Oooh yes, so true. And yes, when I moved here, I had 54 packages, I still remember the number. My finnish boyfriend didn't help me at all, even when I asked him to. Exactly as the russian woman said, you can feel and see it that they don't want to help. At this time I was in my 6-7th month pregnancy, oh boy that hurted sometimes and I know I had to do it fast. I was really pissed that no one helped me.

American too and agree. American men know what the deal is and they also know if they don’t pay on the 1st date, there won’t be a 2nd. Of course there are women who refuse to let a man pay and there are men who don’t offer to pay. But it’s tradition for the man to pay especially the first date as a gesture of respect. If a guy didn’t pay for the 1st date, I would assume he’s either not interested or a cheapskate. A lot of guys complain that women just want a free meal so they don’t want to pay but these guys are still single, guaranteed lol Paying for the first date isn’t about getting a free meal, it’s the gesture that counts. I’ve picked up plenty 2nd date bills ;) Men here usually like to make a good impression on the ladies and I love them for that. However, Finnish men are so cute...why they gotta be like that? 😜😆

I don't know any man who spits and picks their nose or has no manners, if the men around you spit and pick their nose and are drunk fools then maybe it's time to ask yourself why do I choose this company? :D

I'm a Fnnish man, and I don't like to pay on a date, since it would be treating the woman like a child. It's not dignified for an adult to expect someone else pay for them. This is how women in Finland think too in my opinion. At least the women I date.

Dating a Finnish guy currently, first time. He is a very tidy, neat person and very thoughtful when it comes to the practical side. I can definitely echo that he doesn't do the big romantic displays of affection, but I can tell by how he speaks and acts that he genuinely cares, he just isn't the sort to show it the way that people in England do. In terms of paying for things, in both bills and on dates, he prefers the practical 50/50 split, which I find very agreeable. He's a little shy and lacking in confidence, but that does come off as charming to me, as I tend to be maybe a little more 'in control' of my situations and it lets me sort things out. I would definitely say that Finnish guys seem loyal and practical. If you don't mind the lack of emotion and can appreciate honest words, they are fantastic.

I met a finnish man on a trip an he was really rude like saying the food we were eating tastes like shit (his words) in a restaurant. He asked me for my company and I started being nice to him. Bad mistake! He didn't even offer to carry my shopping bags after shopping for our dinner. I have NEVER encountered a person with such bad manners in my life and I hope I never will.

Varmasti hänestä tule todella hyvää isä. Rakastan häntä todella paljon ❤️😍 Juu, vähän huonot tavat on paikalla, jotkut hänen sukulaiset pieruskelevät ja ”pieruskelevat suun kautta” muiden edessä!

Using all of these Proper Adjectives raises a question of grammar. In English we capitalise words used to describe things from other countries, such as Finnish food or German citizen. but in many other languages adjectives of any sort are not capitalised. How does this work in Finnish? Thank you.

Aleksi, that's not just a Finnish thing. Drunk men do stupid and gross things. Period. And sometimes they don't need to be drunk. A guy may decide to pick his nose when at his fiancee's parents' home for dinner simply because it's Wednesday and he hasn't done that task since Church last Sunday while at the Communion rail. Another universal truth is that if you want to know what to get a man of any age as a gift, go to the section of the toy department for 12-year-old boys. And I know a lot of otherwise well-behaved girls who can belch The Star-Spangled Banner and will do so at the drop of a hat and in any given situation. AND they can pick their nose after just painting their nails and not smear the paint job.
