  • I wouldn’t recommend u to try contact swedish girls by blocket since it’s an selling site.

  • Hello

  • Hey, I’m looking for a swedish girl for a serious relationship, I’m 25and live in Texas

  • Swedish women have no interest in an American male, since Sweden is a rich country and has a higher cost of living.

    Also Swedish women will never find an American male inpressive.

  • I am looking to chat with swedish girls, I am PHD student from Algeria
    Thank you for your answer
    see you

  • I’m from Sweden and I would love to meet an American male.

    • Rebecca if you are a Swedish girl I personally could introduce you to interesting American men, as I am American. What in particular are your interests or background? Are you looking for a brainy guy or a moral guy or an exciting guy or a world traveling, classical music loving person?

  • Dear love seekers,
    I find the comments about Swedish girls very discriminating and outright sad. Giving comments like “Swedish girls aren’t very spiritual” is the the same as saying that all girls from Utah are mormans. The country of Sweden is not very big, but there are over 9 million people here and the society is just as diverse as in any other western society. I am Swedish and I have lived all over the world including the US and I love the US and I love my own country Sweden. We have a high standard of living here and you will not find any desperate Swedish girls that would tell you anything just to get out of their country, which is applicable for many other less fortunate girls out in the world.
    Love and peace and understanding.

    • Anna, Thank for the comment. It was very polite. How was this post on Swedish girls offensive to you personally, please explain it further? It was a huge generalization, but a statistical fact. Statistically Swedish girls do not believe in God and do not stay married. That is a fact. They prefer to be single mothers, which I find very selfish. I do not find the humble like say Polish girls for example. I think Swedish girls are very nice people, but not to marry.

      So can you honestly say as a Swedish girl that you dream of meeting one man and you will stay with him your whole life, with no exceptions, and you will want to make him happy, cook for him and be as it appears on an IKEA catalogue?

      If not then what is the point of getting married. Why not just we a swinging western gal. I think Sweden is a very peaceful society, this is great about Sweden. However, its rich for many reason that is beyond the scope of the article, and this money has not a fully positive effect.

      I do not think girls from other countries are like that at all, desperate to get out of their country. I am an American and live an poor humble life in Poland, rather than going back to the USA and being a VIP. It is is sad you look down on girls from poorer countries and equate men’s love for them and their love for the man is about money. But you are are a Swedish girl and maybe you do not believe in true love.
      Prove me wrong and tell you your dream and reality is one man with unconditional love no matter what. Tell me your dream in life is devout yourself to a man, unconditionally. I do not think Swedish girls see love and marriage this way.

  • Hi,

    I am a 32 yrs old Lebanese guy, looking for a Swedish lady for a serious and long term relationship. Plz email me if interested.

    • Hi this is not really a dating site, but since I live in Europe I was thinking of starting one as I know many single European girls, but it would only be for free. I think you can leave your e-mail.

  • Braveheart,

    Swedish women are atheistic, so they won’t want an Arab Muslim or Christian from your country.

  • I am a 32 year old man from Dallas, Texas, USA. I’m seeking a blonde Swedish girl for marriage. I can travel to Sweeden to meet you any time you want. Please email me at dallastraveler AT dcemail.com

  • Hi I am 33 , I am from Sri Lanka, I grew up meeting Swedish girls and I still have some Swedish friends.

    I think most people seek love and understanding and true intimacy but growing up in Sri Lanka and been living on and off in Europe I see there is Cultural differences.

    I think girls from Sweden are great just as much as anyone and I know Swedish couples married for long time and still happy together, maybe age played apart too but as you grow what you seek changes too..

    Wells I would love to meet a Swedish woman for good :)

  • Oh, please you can’t be serious?
    Just because Swedish girls doesn’t want to get married doesn’t mean that they don’t believe in love? Why should I get married if I don’t believe in God? Why? Why can’t I love someone anyway?
    And you think that it always is the woman’s choice that they are single mothers?
    And one other thing; why should we stay home and cook for the husband? In what time do you live?
    Come on man, this is pathetic.

    Is it better to get married even if you don’t believe in some God and stay in a marriage even if it doesn’t work? Why don’t you say Swedish people, instead of Swedish girls?
    For what I know, Sweden is filled with love, and what I also know is that you don’t have to get married to show love.

    I know that I want, except for my other dreams, is one man I love and who loves me back and will o everything for me, and I for him. Which I already have. You can’t just say that about people, that’s embarrassing. It’s like saying that bunnies are black. Yeah, some of them are but not all!

    • You can have love and marriage without a belief in God. I believe God is the source of all love and energy in the universe, but if someone does not see that, does not mean they are cut off from this source. I think Swedish girls are romantic. Just why do they want to not stay married at such as high rate? It is worse than America. If you are going to be married and you commit yourself to this person, don’t you want to build a life with them and grow old with them? Of course women are equal to men, but does that mean the idea of life long love, does not exist. Is there anything wrong with staying at home with the family?
      I mean I am American and a guy and I the greatest joy in my life is I am home with the family as I write software and do this. Why would anyone want to do the career thing over family? I am curious and would love to hear your reply.

  • Oh, and btw. I know that almost all swedes gets “wow”ed about america.

    • That is good news as I think the world thinks very highly of Sweden including myself. In some ways it is a dream country, I just wish the girls did not run from marriage at such a high rate. I guess it is the modern world.

  • Hi,

    I wanted to post a comment after reading this article about Swedish women. I think to a large extent that it is acurate. As I am half Swedish half Polish though, and I have to say that i really value marriage and want it, as earlier written, as it appears on an IKEA catalogue. (: I also belief in God and regulary attends church. I have found it hard to find a husband in Sweden how value marriage and who believe in God. Therefor I am now thinking of looking for a husband who might not be Swedish, but with whom I can share similar values. ( Excuse my English. Thank you for your article.

    • I think Sweden is a great country but, the values are a bit different in terms of marriage, at least for me. I believe in love and marriage forever, based on a spiritual connection. If you are Swedish and Polish I am sure you are very beautiful. I think if you travel a bit there would be very many guys that would notice you, and one of them might be the one. I think American guys might be a good match as many have faith and are fun to be around.

  • Swedish women are rotting apples dipped in caramel. You lick the outside it is sweet and is pleasing to the eye. But once you dig in and chew the apple, you spit it out and become sick. You realize the apple is molding, rotting and infested with worms, parasites and other filth. This is a Swedish woman. They are the most selfish, arrogant, strong-headed and, last but not least, FEMINIST women on the earth. Swedish women actually make American women look modest and humble, and that is really scary in its own right!

    Sorry, to burst the bubble of the Swedish women thread, but somehow, Mark, I don’t feel it belongs on your site.

    Lets summarize, here is Yonatan’s list of women from countries you definitely don’t want to marry. Once again, this list is subjective and is from my own perspective, your own views will vary. However, I think there are many who will share my belief here. Sadly, women from the Western/Modernized world have lost all their desirable traits. Also, keep in mind all countries have villages and rural areas with a few people who still don’t know whats going on in 21st century.

    Avoid women from these countries, in order from worst to bad:
    ** 1. Sweden (The winner)
    2. Iceland (women is not even a word in their language, that is considered sexist!)
    3. USA /Canada (Tied, Same stinkin women, Oh the American dream is to find a non-American woman as a wife! Sorry for my bleak humor.)
    4. England
    5. Germany/Austria (Tied, same people, same type of women)
    6 Spain (No they do not share latin culture with latin american women, they are total hardcore El Feministas, in Espana!)
    7. Ireland
    8. Norway/Finland (Tied)
    9. Denmark/Greenland
    10. Australia
    11. France
    12. Czechoslovakia
    13. Hungary
    14. Chinese *Urban* (Sorry, communism destroyed which were at one time, perhaps the kindest,most humble and loving women in the world).

    Anyone still considering Sweden?? The very country with the world’s highest divorce rate, approaching around 70% now. I will play for you the song sang by a Swedish feminist group where they sing a tune saying they will dismember the private parts from all the evil men on the earth. I feel so welcomed, as a man, in Sweden!

    Remember, that many Americans are of Scandinavian descent. Sadly, many of the worst traits of our culture has been taken from the Scandinavians, not to say all of it is bad.

    • Swedish girls and social relationships from a Swede

      If divorce and selfishness was a sport, Sweden would take the olympic gold.

      When you get to a point where people are seriously discussing if one should get rid of the words him and her and replace it with hen, you start to wonder.Besides, there’s a reason why Stockholm is the singles capital of the world.

      I´m swedish, love Swedish women, “´m all for equality rights but for gods sake, a man is a man & a woman a woman. That is just the way we´re made. Most people specially in Stockholm walk around with an ego the size of Godzilla, “me, myself and I”.

      By the way, don’t even think of striking up a random conversation with a swede on the street or the metro, they´ll think your nuts, the only time that´ll happen is when they´re drunk or drinking.

      True that most Swedes don´t go to church, funny thing is 90% of them celebrate christmas, about the only time of the year that the family gathers. Swedes are extremely conservative when it comes to direct communication with strangers, which makes it hard to get to know them specialty if you are there only for a couple of days.

      If you do get to know them, they are warm, fun-loving intelligent people. The girls are beautiful and educated but in my book always seeking perfection. Who´s perfect? The dull weather takes its toll on relationships, the divorce/separation rate skyrockets after Xmas each year for some reason. I´d marry a swedish girl any day but life long relationships aren’t exactly a dime a dozen in this country. Divorce is unfortunately an everyday thing here. Which makes me wonder why so many swedes get married in church.

      • Mahongny, agreed and do you have any further advice? I mean are there any good Swedish girls that will stay with you in good times and bad? I have not heard any reports of any.

        I wish I could say what you write is not true. I mean Swedish girls are so tempting because of their natural beauty and intellect and they come from a country rich in history and culture. So few people there any yt some of my favorite authors like Selma Lagerlof to the modern thrillers that do not need to be named.

        However, if you connct with a Swedish girl, count on it not lasting unless she somehow though all the clouds of feminism sees the light.

        If I was a guy living in Sweden I would just take a ferry across the Baltic and meet a nice Polish girl. I am sorry, it is not anything against the great nation of Sweden and it is a great nation, it is more about the cultural way girls and guys interact.

        You are rolling the dice with a Swedish girl and the odds are with the hosue. I do not like like to play those games.

  • Why wouldn’t we believe in love? Do you think we marry just anyone and then get divorced if we get bored? ‘Cause we’re not!

    All of us dream about finding ‘the right one’- marry him and live happily ever after. But sometime it just does not work out – should we then be ‘stuck’ unhappy ’cause we married the man? THAT is probably the difference; we don’t agree about that. If we are not happy in the marriage, we get divorced. (And by the way, that does not mean we don’t TRY to make it work!). It is as simple as that. Shouldn’t everyone be happy?

    And about religion, it is true that we’re not very open about it – it’s something we keep to ourselves. We don’t feel the need to express it to everyone. And if you are religions, we would r-e-s-p-e-c-t that.

    @Spatula: Why wouldn’t we want a Arab Muslim or a Christian? We are not r_cists – quite the opposite.

    And, to quote you again: “Swedish women have no interest in an American male, since Sweden is a rich country and has a higher cost of living. Also Swedish women will never find an American male impressive.” — Why wouldn’t we find an American male impressive? And you’re making it sound like love is all about money. Is that your opinion?

    With love (believe it or not), Celine.

    • I deleted Spatula from this site as he was too out of control. I am sorry I should clean up his comments.
      Swedish women can fall in love. Swedish women can be idealistic. But why do you guys have such a high divorce rate? I guess I am sorry if this is taken the wrong way. Swedes are great people in many ways, but for a guy looking for a wife to spend the rest of his life with, I have to ask the question why?

  • I just explained why though?

    Again:

    All of us dream about finding ‘the right one’- marry him and live happily ever after. But sometime it just does not work out – should we then be ‘stuck’ unhappy ’cause we married the man? THAT is probably the difference; we don’t agree about that. If we are not happy in the marriage, we get divorced.

    (And by the way, that does not mean we don’t TRY to make it work!). It is as simple as that. Shouldn’t everyone be happy?

    • That is not marriage with that attitude but rather just a boyfriend, girlfriend break up.
      Hey no problem, I am a guy I could be a player and just use girls all day long and make promises I do not mean. For me I am morally opposed to that type of life. That is not love and that is not marriage. That is not being honest to your vows in marriage. It is a lie.
      Even if I was unhappy and miserable, I would stay with my wife all the days of my life. Life is about living a meaningful existence that does not always translate to a high or happiness as some understand. It is about having the courage to live your ideals and you will learn what true love is.
      Why make the promise if you do not mean it? I would say if you have kids, than there is no reason for divorce basically.
      But love is something you uncover like in the story of the velveteen rabbit.
      digital.library.upenn.edu/women/williams/rabbit/rabbit.html
      Please read this story. When people grow up, people understand that being an adult is putting away childish things for real notions of love.
      What you are talking about is high school dating ad breaking up, not finding your other half and it being as if you and that other person are the only two people in the world., forever and without limits.
      If you do not have this or feel it, I highly recommend people do not get married but rather be single.

  • And oh, sorry to point you out Dallas Man, but messages like yours (and quite a lot of the comments here) is more likely to scare us away rather than getting us to contact you. We don’t marry anyone just like that..

    This is my thoughts when I read your message:
    I am a 32 year old man from Dallas, Texas, USA. – that’s nice (and yes, I mean it)

    I’m seeking a blonde Swedish girl – okey, so a man who only cares about what you look like. nice.. (and I am sarcastic there, in case you didn’t get that)

    for marrage – come on, I don’t even know your name?

    I didn’t mean to offend anyone – you people are quite fascinating. Honestly :P

  • So you basically mean that all Swedes are like high school students, ’cause we think both should be happy in a marriage and ’cause we don’t share your thoughts? I mean, come on.

    You got to respect that we have different cultures and obviously different values. In our opinion, everyone should be happy and not unhappy. Why would you choose to be unhappy if you don’t have to? And again, we don’t marry anyone ‘just like that’, most people here do after they’ve had kids or have been together for quite a long time. My parents have been together since they were 15 years old – and they’re now 56 years old and married since the passed 36 years. It’s nothing you suddenly decide to do – and when we give our promises we do mean it. But sometimes it just does not work out. If I married a man who suddenly starts to beat me up or use violence against me, do you still think I should be with him because I once give him the promise?

    If you can’t respect that/us, then maybe you should stay away from Swedish women.

    • Celine,
      I refuse to believe that all men in Sweden are wife beaters, (not that you said it) in that case a woman should leave, but please explain your theory for the reason Sweden has one of the highest divorce rates in the world. When it comes to marriage vows, I´m gonna have to go with Admin there. A man has to stand by his vows or not give them. I would stay beside my wife even if i was unhappy & I would put my selfishness aside specially if there were children involved, through thick & thin but then guys like me are a dying breed :)

      • Men in Sweden are peaceful, as peace and silence is part of Swedish culture. The Swedes have such quiet calmness about them, a shyness, that violence in Swedish society is not an issue.

        What is an issue is the care free attitude towards relations. Women are serial monogamists at their bests.

  • Celine, please stop being so blind. A 70% divorce rate doesn’t lie. Your Swedish men are emasculated and the Swedish women are the most liberated, feminist and masculine men on the European continent, perhaps the entire Earth. Swedish women are pretty on the outside, but that is where the charm ends. Of course, there is exceptions. Maybe some wholesome sweet and caring lady from a Swedish village raised by a strict and religious Swedish family, but it’s quite the exception, not the norm.

    Sweden is a totally dysfunctional society in the moral sense. Yes, everyone in Sweden is not poor, although this is changing due to the failure of their socialist system to accommodate the large influx of immigrants who are sucking up Sweden’s socialist system of welfare, which outdoes that of any other European state.

    Celine, I find your Swedish women to be very beautiful, I wish you would put all this genderless, religionless, soulless sterile modern nordic culture junk behind you. Nordic people at one time in history were so colorful and had a rich culture. The modern liberalism has turned your country upside down.

    And, if you look at the statistics there is a major flight of Swedish men to other countries. More and more Swedish men are finding wives in Asia, Italy and Eastern Europe. Many Swedish men are shy and have an inferiority complex, because they were raised by feminist mothers who taught them they are inferior. However, I am reading that Swedish men are becoming more and more bold and even shunning the dominance of Swedish women and looking overseas.

    Heres another funny fact, many Swedish men are starting to prefer women with darker features because they consider them to be more kindness and accepting of them.

    Another funny fact, is that Sweden has the highest number of house-husbands (men who raise children, cook, clean while the women works), as well as the highest rate of domestic violence against men in the world.

    I have also heard that some Swedish women are starting to also look to other countries for marriage, because they have retained their feminine identity and feel Swedish men are to emasculated/feminized for their tastes. This is quite a small percentage, but for the few Swedish men who truly want a traditional man, they see their local men are too feminine and don’t feel they are good protectors or providers.

    In Sweden, in contrast to most other countries in the world, the man does not make the first move for a date, rather it is the woman. A man will sit and wait until a woman takes notice of him. In Sweden, it is a woman’s job to ask a man out for a date. I’m sure these rules are not set in stone, but I hear this is what the situation has become.

    Sweden will be the last place on Earth I search for a bride. If I really need to marry a pretty blonde and blue eyed girl, I think Ukraine is a better option. That is, if I really fixated on exterior looks, which I am not.

  • The best and it’s heartbreaking ending.

    Gentlemen, I’ve had this experience. Here’s my story. My name is Spencer, born and raised in Los Angeles. I’ve been seeking love, marriage, and the happy family for more than 8 years (since my first true love broke up with me and I never saw it coming).

    Back in April, a friend of mine who is a professional match maker set me up with this 30 year old Swedish woman. I was a little suspect, but gave it a shot. She was beautiful, with an amazing smile.

    We met and instantly hit it off. I was enamored with her beauty, her intelligence, and her drive to be successful. She was here in Los Angeles on vacation and we spent 6 weeks together. She even stayed in my place for 3 week. Our relationship evolved to love. She has all of the personality traits one would want: intelligent, social, drive to be successful, desired a family, wanted the house. Could it be possible?????

    I talked with her for the next two months on the Internet & Skype. BUT, during that time, she sent me an email where she asked “I would be honored if we could get married while you were here in Sweden visiting”

    Red flag alert.

    Well, I eventually went to visit her in Sweden. I had a great adventure, learned a great deal about their culture, and met her mother (dad had passed away). For two weeks all was going ok. BUT, I’ve come to find out that a trait most Swedish woman possess is jealousy. There were a few other traits she kept hidden while in the USA that came out and were disturbing.

    She got very angry twice, once when I was talking to a friend of her friend we had just met, but the kicker was when she gave me the look of death when I was talking to a policeman who I had met at a funeral for her mother’s friend. SHE WAS IRATE and yelled at me for talking to another person without her consent.

    I left Sweden the very next day. Yet this will not detract me. I met several people while in Sweden and learned so much about their culture. I especially loved their eating habits, how much they appreciate their country, and the steps everyone takes to maintain a health lifestyle.

    Even though this relationship ended, I hope to start up a new one with a woman with the same characteristics, beauty, brains, and drive (minus the jealousy.).

    Good luck everyone.

  • I being an american that has been to europe would be instantly suspect if any european woman would want an american. Europeans have so many social benefits (universal healthcare, free university education, much paid vacation, early high paying social security, paid day care for children, etc.) compared to americans that compared to them americans do not have a pot to pee in.

    • Being an American living in Europe, I agree. Life in Sweden and Europe is very nice. America is great but you have to work none stop just to tread water. On the other hand every time I am back home, I see the USA as a wealthy place.

  • If you consider Swedish girlfriend, please check the Estonian girls first. They are also tall, blond and clever, but still have the modesty that usually lacks from Finnish or Swedish girls. As my opinion, Estonian girls are somehow between Russian and Scandinavian as the look, so I think they are the most beautiful creatures in the world.

  • I am Swedish, 21, not raised by religious parents, living in Sweden and I am for sure not an apple that is rotten on the inside. Far from every girl in Sweden are as all of you tend to describe them. Of course it is a fact that it is a high divorce rate in Sweden, but getting divorced is not only a choice made by the woman in a marriage. In Sweden there is a considerable high rate of domestic violence towards the woman in a marriage, and I sure do not blame those woman to get a divorce from the men who assualt them.

    The most of Swedish women believe in a true love. Every woman want a man who they love, and whom loves them back forever. Not all believe in marriage, but they still believe in love and want to live with the same man forever, have kids and all that. I want to live with the same man, and I want to get married. But before I get married I want to be a hundred percent sure that it is the right man for me. If I feel that he is not, I would never get married to him.

    Those extremists you describe is just that – extremists. There is a percentage of those in all countries around the world – but yes, few people in Sweden believe in God. And yet, the church attendence does not answer for the God-believers in Sweden. The Church in Sweden is a very uncommon thing for some reason, but people may still believe. I dont attend church, but I do believe in God. Maybe I would attend church if the sermons where like they are in American movies. Swedish sermons tend to be rather boring, actually. Not all – but a lot of them.

    I dont see why not to marry a Swedish girl. Of course, there is always a rotten apple or two in each basket, that goes for Swedish people as well as american or italian people. It’s about finding the right ones, and that is something you cant blame the Swedish girls for. Swedish girls (once again, if you find the right ones, that are not stupid or desperate to be someone else) tend to be very loving partners, and also loyal. They probably make really good mothers and would for sure never abandon their children.

    And I do like americans. The americans I’ve met have been very nice, but they all say it’s hard to get to know Swedish girls. I can understand that, since I know that I keep my guards up for a very long time before I open up to a person. But those I open up for – I never leave. And most of my friends are like this too. We’re in the good apple-basket. ;)

    • Tess, I do not like extreme views either, if you find any really offense I can moderate them. Here is the thing. I think there are many Swedish girls that really believe in love like yourself. I think there are American girls that have these views also. But the reality is times have changed and many Swedish or Western girls maybe most do not hold the views you hold. They put career first over family, they delay having children until over 35 and they are not loyal to their husbands as seen in the high percentage of women leaving their husbands.
      On the other hand if you are a guy who believes in love and family why not look in a place where the majority of the women are more traditional in their ideas about love? Why not start in countries like Italy or Poland where the divorce rate is low and women have no problem giving up everything for their families?
      I believe not just in some traditional view of love and family, but also a romantic one.
      This means the guys need to win the girl. They just can not go shopping for a wife, this is so unhigh. A guy has to rescue and save the girl in every sense of the word. He has to turn her world upside down and make her heart skip a beat every time he comes into the room. So I am a romantic. I believe in the wild crazy upside down world of romance with no limits. So I am not some boring traditional guy who sees a good wife as having a list of qualities. Rather, I see it as if a champion does find his princess, there is not reason with time they can not have a family and stay together for the rest of their lives without limits or all these, ‘well what if’…. that girls like to put out there today. No you stay together and build trust.
      So Sweden might not be a bad place to fall in love, but the society there is really not promoting romantic love and marriage in the old fashion Jane Austen sense of the idea. I think most people from both genders whant this Last of the Mohegans type of love but society is so messed up that they settle for something less.

  • @Yonatan

    You’re just an American who knows nothing about my country. (This comment on Swedish girls was edited by admin to remove attacks, please keep it about theory, that is nothing personal and cordial).

  • First of all, interesting site n’ subject, thanks ‘admin’!
    This can easily be debated about for years.
    I’m 32 and consider myself to be a normal-looking guy living in a smaller town east-coast Sweden.
    I’ve been traveling around the globe for many years, working and living in several countries, but due to family obligations I have to play at home field right now.
    My experience of girls is fairly extensive as you can guess.
    There are of course good and bad in all places, however I’m inclined to somewhat agree with Yonatans viewpoint above, about
    Swedish girls. (They would of course never ever agree with that)
    The myth about them being better, more beautiful than other womans are just a myth, maybe true back in the sixties seventies, not nowadays.
    Unfortunately they believe in it, even the fat and ugly.
    In general we have one of the worlds most trashy populations up here in Scandinavia (UK is worse though), and I don’t necessarily mean on the outside
    although you see heaps with piercings n’ tattoos (like sailor men) which is a big turnoff in my eyes.
    The Swedish girls (and guys) have been raised (spoiled) to believe they can do just as they want
    and no one have the right to question their behavior nor take consequences for it.
    And yes that is the effect of removing higher moral values (in the families), a society (school) teaching out the evolutionary theory
    (together with a deficient discipline in general) and a materialistic lifestyle on top of that gives you the breeding ground for this.
    Less inner happiness because if we come from animals, as they’re taught, there’s no future, this life is all we have,
    no one will hold you responsible for your actions.
    It’s very common girls cutting themselves and people acting like psychopaths.
    Actually I should feel sorry for them but because they outwards display a hard not so pleasant attitude it’s difficult.
    You mostly don’t get charming smiles/eye-contact unless you’re famous, very rich or they see themselves in a mirror.
    Guys tend be very closed as well so making real friends is tough, but thanks God! Not everyone is like that.
    I’ve definitely found it to be a lot easier meet new mates and especially girls in other cultures.
    Mostly they can’t understand why a guy like me still are single. Therefore I’ve coming to the conclusion, in order to find myself a warmhearted woman
    who’s sweet and faithful, it’s necessarily look outside this Swedish ultra-feministic duck-pond.
    (Now also filled with heaps of guys from balkan/middle-east because of an over common sense generous immigration policy)
    So many of my male acquaintances have already done that or thinking of doing. Only wussies stay and put up with what they can get here.
    Listen all guys, if you wanna be sure to find a sound, beautiful woman in both appearance and mind for a long term relationship without a lot of drama.
    Go somewhere else, I will!
    Best luck!

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

    • Per that is a very well written comment. I think very highly of Sweden and still do, but in terms of women for love and marriage, I tend to agree that many have been raised spoiled and tend towards western feminist views. My philosophy is good for them, peace and love but for me and maybe other guys, it is not the ultimate place to look for a girl.
      I mean a stones through away girls raised in a less spoiled environment in another country will treat you totally different, and they are still take care of their weight.
      I think the world tends to perpetuate the myth of the Swedish fun loving blond from the 1970s or in my case I know Swedes from another generation who stayed together for their whole life in a normal marriage.
      Maybe not all the girls are like this, but it is an interesting observation on your part from a guy who live in the great white land up north in Scandinavia.

  • I can’t understand people from Dallas thinking high about looks of Swedish women,
    Texan women are the best looking in the world, I could add Danish, and a few Hungarian women.

    Talking about Swedish looks, Swedish women are in my opinion very often too masculine, with strong shoulders, strong legs and heavy build. (don’t confuse it to obese), they look stronger than their men.

    Per, I agree with you, I used to know quite a lott of people from Sweden,
    some of them were just like robots, unable for any kind of friendship or communication with other people.
    If you pay them a few beers, they’ll chat with you, and will never even try to return
    a round.

    English people were far better friends than Swedish, in my opinion, they know
    how to be friends. American friends were also ok.

  • ok to be more precise, if I compare the best 5% of Texan to the rest, Texan are the best.
    But if I compare the average Texan, I would say, many countries have prettier average women.

    It’s just if you see very pretty Texan girl, it’s difficult to see anywhere prettier than that.

  • Gosh.. wish I never had to write in such negative language about my own country, because it’s clean, have high welfare and are rich in fine nature(except the too long wintertime)
    It have the opportunity to be so good but when it comes to the social bit (interaction between humans) it’s a poor country..
    Believe me, I’ve been trying to see things in a positive way for many years.
    Thought for a very long period it had to be something wrong with me because I didn’t succeed getting genuine friends and girlfriends up here.
    It made me depressed. I’m not the hard-skinned type.

    All experiences from other cultures really opened my eyes about this. I’m definitely born in the wrong place on earth when it comes to that matter.
    Now my true friends are to be found all over the globe, like last month I visited an Ecuadorian friend in NY, we had heaps with fun.
    Almost impossible find such good buddies in Sweden and here I’ve been meeting so much more people
    and living so much longer time, what’s wrong?
    Sinisa, you pinpointed it for me, people here tend to be like robots, zombies, just walking around doing their business.
    It’s difficult get a good connection, get them to open up. In guidebooks u can sometimes read that’s because northern people are shy.
    Yes some are but I think one reason, they sometimes even afraid just say hello to you, is that they then feel they have to take u up in their social circle and befriend you. We all have to watch out for this, materialism can smother us into a lame selfish condition where it’s all about you, you.
    An egocentric personality which just value friends who can give benefits in some way, scary!

    Because I’m a member of Hospitalityclub I often host guys n’ girls travelling through this part of the world, several of them have expressed complaints about people being coolish, hopefully I’ve manage to give them a somewhat better experience. One student girl from Texas even told me she’d never wanna go back here again.
    I felt ashamed.
    Know there’s many more (specially guys) suffering in this chilly country, I don’t just want to complain, so if u read this feel free send me a line at
    zwedude AT gmail.com
    maybe we can start something up like “spread a smile campaign” ..or join me to Lithuania next weekend or South America next year

    Btw, what I meant with UK being worse than Swe. was more in physically appearance.
    Have not much experience on how they are as friends in general, probably better.
    And what u mentioned about the body shape, it’s very accurate, the average Swedish woman have a pretty face and a fat ass.
    Not fat as in obese but the bottom is wide. It wouldn’t be any direct issue though if their mentality/attitude were pleasant.
    Let’s say u could switch their psyche with African girls, OMG I would live in paradise! ..haha
    Phuu..
    Sweet dreams!

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

  • Great discussion and so much valuable info.
    I’ve been living in Denmark for 2 years and in my opinion the Danish’s chick should be a few places up in Yonatan’s wonderful ranking, not too far from their Swedish cousins :D :D

  • Gee Wiz, are there any young attractive Swedish women currently living in New Jersey. You’re beauty amazes me and I would love to have a rapport with one.

  • Okay, what the hell….

    I’m a 53 year-old American male (a very young 53). I am a musician by trade. I am very liberal politically, and as such I have never felt very at home in my native region (Southeastern US) in particular. The US is moving ever closer to fascism with each passing year. I want out. I want to live in Scandinavia. They share my values. My problem is that I can’t figure out a way to stay in Sweden, for example, for more than a 3 month visit.

    I wish someone could help me out with ideas. The only way I can conceive to stay is to marry a native. And as I am single, that is certainly not out of the question. I would very much like to meet a Swedish (or other Scandinavian) girl. I am not, however, desperate for a relationship with anyone. Let me repeat that: I AM NOT DESPERATE FOR A RELATIONSHIP. I would like to cultivate online friendships. And then, and ONLY then, move toward something more substantial if, and only if, there was a mutual desire to explore that possibility.

    I’ve been trying to learn more about how to make this happen for months. I’m not having a great deal of luck. My various craigslist.com ads have gone unanswered, for example. I hope someone has some suggestions for me. And if you’d like to contact me, please do. I can be reached at blanketyblankblankblank at yahoodotcom or at the email provided if the admin forwards them. All comments are greatly appreciated. Hopefully, this discussion hasn’t expired. I only just discovered it.

    Have a good day, ya’ll.

    • There are four ways to stay in Europe:
      1) Find some blood connection. That is grandparents or something that came from an EU country. This can lead to a visa.
      2) Fall in love and get engaged (visa) then married (citizenship).
      3) Get a legal job and have a company write a letter they need you, then you get a work visa.
      4) Get a student visa. It does not matter your age, but it does matter how many hours a month you study.
      So there are your options. Sweden is a beautiful country. If you are an American and a musician you will get many European girls interested in you.
      craigslist.com can get old fast. Better is just go to a country and meet girls. My friends that do find their princess. Maybe it is the high barrier to entry, that is making the effort to go to Sweden or Europe or where ever is the thing that makes the guys who do have so much luck. But it does not matter, you get out of the USA, even for 3 months you will meet more suitors than you would ever in he states in many years.

  • What, there is a shortage of liberals in USA? Yeah right… I think Sweden is good pick for a liberal though. However, you should just move to Oregon. Most of the people here are ultra-n_zi-like liberal and almost all people are of Scandanavian descent. Portland perhaps has more tall 6 foot blonde women than Stockholm.

    Personally, I don’t like liberalism and I think the country is moving in the other direction, towards national socialism/communism. People think fascists were conservative, when in contrast, they were ultra-liberal.

    Sorry, don’t mean to be political here. Anyway, Oregon is much better option for your liberal dreams than Sweden. At least you don’t have to worry about a foreign language, visas and very cold weather. Not that Oregon has great weather, but you are thinking of Scandanavia, afterall. Portland supposedly has one of the best Oktoberfests in the USA. If you really like Scandanavian and liberal, try the Oregon coast.. There is Danish , Swedish and FInnish flags flying all over that town.

    By the way, there is lot of older single mothers in Portland, so in your age group, you really may do well.

    I’m planning on leaving Oregon eventually myself. So, don’t worry I won’t be around forever :O .

    • Yes Sweden has many liberal girls. I should write a post on liberal girls. You parcmom, you are most likely a good man. But don’t you think liberal girls are not for marriage or love as they are basically opposed to the whole idea.

      One of my lib girl friends is all stressed out now as her 7 year relationship boyfriend wants to get married. She is pulling out all stops to find an excuse to run from this relationship. I mean, I do not think you want to be in that situation. Is it not better to find some nice corn fed girl from the countryside who will treat you right?

  • *Astoria, Oregon was the town on the ORegon coast I was referring to.

  • Mark, I think you are confusing Genie-boy with parcmom. Parcmom posted in the Bucharest thread.

  • Hello, im a guy from Stockholm Sweden. some points in this acricle are correct and some arent.

    First of all it sounds like you trying to say love and marriage has anything to do with believing in god?
    Yes not many believe in god in Sweden, i believe one of many reasons is: In every developed western country the belief in god is decreasing while belief in science is increasing. Sweden is a very high tech country, 5th in the world actually and is ranked 3th in human development (income, life expectancy, and education), with this said you can understand that almost all the swedish girls are living a very high standard life. Now if you look on the actual people who dont have such good life in sweden, living in very bad suburbs where the income and education is low the bleif in god is ALOT higher. My point is that people lesser good life tend to beleif in god, hoping for help(not saying that god dosent exist thats just how people work)

    Also if you look at America where the standard is much lower, since sweden is 3rd, America is 12th in the world (source: human index development)and wheres there alot of poverty its not strange that alot more people believe in god, also you use religion in politics, we keep it out of politics.

    For example take a look at australia, which is ranked 2 in the human index of development, they have 7.5% of the population attending to church, kinda low dont you say?

    Also to clarify, most swedish people both man and woman like americans, id say almost everyone, except our large amount of immigrants from the arab world. We have all your tv shows, we NEVER dub! we start learning english from 9 years old(everyone), we love hockey just as you, we are -starting- to like basketball and american football hehe, and we do alot of business with you :)

    However there is no special attraction to americans, no WOW, id say atleast not 99% of the time? Since we are pretty equal, americans arent very mysterious for us :) we know you too well hehe. But we do not share the global “hate” against america, sure we disslike the war-loving americans, but we are smart enough to understand that very few americans are war-lovers and the majority are against it, so the global hate have no group pressure on us :) But if you are an american and want a swedish wife, go for it.

    And marriage and divorce has nothing to do with believing in god or not, it has to do with the love between two people not between one and god. The reasons that i can think off why the number is so high is:
    1, swedish people have high chance to get depressed, in our 4 seasons we have a really horrible winter, its well known that alot of people in sweden get a winter-depression.
    Solution: Pickup a wife here in sweden and move to miami? Shes gonna be happier than ever :)

    2, Sure, we are very liberal, we scandinavians are the most liberal countrys in the world together with netherlands, people from less liberal countrys like america probably have a hard time time understanding this rushing of liberalism, trust me even alot of us swedes do. But we are too proud of our liberalism that we simply cant stop rushing it, it seams. its really a hype here.

    3, Not to forget, the beauti of swedish girls really are like people say, as a swedish guy i love living in sweden, when i travel outside of sweden, i hardly see any beautiful girls, its like 1 good looking girl per 30-50 girls, in sweden its 1 beautiful girl per 10 mostly, and im not trying to brag, but thats really how it is, very strange i have no idea why?? But we fellas arent as lucky as our woman, sure there are alot of good looking guys in sweden, but i think its pretty equal to the rest of the world, not like the woman. Which means that its pretty easy for a average looking guy to hook up with a very good looking woman, and since law of attraction is major important in our lifes my guess is one of the reason the divorce is high is simply becouse the woman often find a more attractive man. And dont bring me the crap about, what about love, trust and marriage?? the looks are what is most important, atleast for good looking blondes :P Since they care ALOT about their own looks, and with all that focus on looks its pretty logic they also care about their partners look.

    But again, americans dont hesitate, you are as welcome as any to date and marry a swedish girl, a tip if you would like to date a swedish girl:

    1, Be educated, since most of them is, atleast a university degree.

    2, be sucessfull, either in business or simply in life, no need to be a millionaire, just dont make less money than they do.(Education is more valuable than money to a swedish girl, since money is almost never a problem to a average swedish person)

    3, Be a funny and loving guy, swedish girls are overstressed in this businesshyped country and depressed of our sucky winters, they need someone to cheer them up.

    4, Either get em to move to a sunny country or take them to a vacation every winter to a sunny place ( thats almost what all swedes do, to escape the horror winter)

    5, If you want your swedish wife to be less liberal and be a stay home wife, simply look for them, as a swedish guy i have noticed that almost every third ive met want to be a stay home wife(really!), so they are here, just look for them :)

    Thats my 5 cent :)

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

    • This is a very good detail from the Swedish point of view thank you. I have the inside view on a couple of countries but not all.

      I like you put a positive spin on all this. The point you made about the weather is important. I mean I am an American (I am peace and love USAer by the way -and do not support the war machine) but live in Eastern Europe. Weather and climate affect people. Often times I think of moving to more sunnier skies where life if happy and green more times then not.

      Sweden has some of the most beautiful landscapes but lets be honest it is not the sunshine state.

      Another good point about Sweden is you guys know English almost perfectly. It makes you very universal citizens of the world.

  • Basically you are saying they don’t believe in God (because they are supposedly wealthy), actually the standard of living for the average Swede may be higher than the average American, but there are many more Americans living in better conditions than Swedes. You have to remember we have many more immigrants than you do and there is lot of Americans who suck on the welfare system. Now that Sweden is being overwhelmed by a large immigrant population who is also sucking on the system your rate of poverty is going up. Also, your socialist system is starting to deteriorate because of these people who are abusing the system. With such an enormous tax rate and high cost of life, many Swedes have a hard time enjoying their incomes in the same way Americans can. Here is another anamoly

    BTW.. Most Americans are not warmongers and enjoy war. You are totally arrogant in your speech. While Europeans were going around killing each other in WWII, it was America who was living at peace and not fighting. But, the world expects America to be the global policeman and after WWII that is the role it has to fill. WIthout USA, you people most likely would be speaking Russian right now. Also, Americans believe they are helping to fight terrorism around the globe. Whether you agree or not is up to you. Those who support the war aren’t doing so, because they love fighting and killing people. I know naive Nordic people believe in making peace with Taliban or Al Queda. But, now as more and more Islamic immigrants are in your country, xenophobia against Middle Eastern people is on the rise in Sweden. Is this ironic?? I think not!

    [QUOTE]And dont bring me the crap about, what about love, trust and marriage?? the looks are what is most important, atleast for good looking blondes Since they care ALOT about their own looks, and with all that focus on looks its pretty logic they also care about their partners look.[/QUOTE]

    Now, about Swedish women. You have told me they care only about how you look. That they will divorce you when they find a better looking or wealthier man. Your personality, charm and heart mean nothing to them. Yes, they care about their own looks, well most women do. Basically, you are telling me that Swedish women really Suck big time. You’re saying Swedish women are more uncaring, selfish and superficial than even American women. WOW, NEVER KNEW THIS!!!

    Yeah, I’d rather find a wife who cares about me for my heart and will be there with me to the end. Not, some overrated blonde bimbo who loves my face or wallet. In General though men are more noble than women. They don’t just toss their little princess aside because a better looking one enters the room.

    Swedish women believe men are expendable and cheap. They just go from one male piece of meat to the other. They are feminists, greedy, selfish and plain old wicked. Perhaps we should tell our American soldiers to stop trying to rid the world of terrorists and rid the world of Swedish woman!

    Ok, that last one was a joke, but I think the world may be better off!

    Pardon my cynicism here!

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

  • Can someone explain why the criticism? I think the articles generalizing Swedish girls as been gorgeous but in love with money and being a rat-bag wouldn’t be 100% right. I think, the less you look the less you see. My believe is, your personal self can be as a result of who you are and environmental factors, which might mean nothing as long as you are focused and knowing what u want. Am an African, proud of who & what i am, also planning of residing and studying in Sweden but the articles read through hasn’t been encouraging, but i wouldn’t accept all said. But I’ll wait till am there to be rest assured it’s a fact or not. I love meeting people of different peoples and wouldn’t let this be a discouragement. Love you all, Swedish gals.

  • G’day again folks.. nice to see this thread is still active :)
    First to Robin: I admire your positive outlook in this subject, we all have different viewpoints and experiences of course,
    especially when it comes to a topic like this.
    Although you’re right in many things, I must disagree with your statement that Swedish divorce rate is not depending on religious views.
    It certainly does! (And the constellation called marriage was constituted when God joined the first man and woman according to the Bible)
    Because if you have something/someone higher than your own self, whom you’ve to be responsible in front of for your actions,
    and if you believe n’ live by real Christian moral standards,
    wouldn’t it then be more likely you work harder to make your relationship successful!? “a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecc4:12)
    Some people who has been married happily for longer periods might not consider themselves particularly religious but almost
    always when they’re asked how they’ve managed to stay together for such long time
    the bottom line use to be that their behavior has been based on just those core values whether they’re aware of it or not.
    I have a feeling that this lack of “old fashion” values (direct/indirect) also has a lot to do with many peoples depressions.
    It’s good for us to have something to believe in although you have to be careful not to slip in any of those too radical paths.

    We all probably seen people in less material rich countries smile and express more happiness and contentment then we’re used to,
    (Personally I often feel ashamed, I ought to be happier considering my welfare situation)
    even though they have to struggle a lot with basic needs, why?
    There are some differences which I guess can be a reason.
    They live less stressful, have more contact with the nature and their family all from children to grandparents live closely together.
    They mostly have a strong religious faith and try to live by it. It’s not all about getting the latest gadget.

    Of course a harsh geographical environment with long dark winters takes its toll on us up here, indeed.
    But mostly I think it has to do with the social-psychological environment we’re surrounded by, how we choose to live our life,
    how we choose to think/act. If we focus on other peoples wellbeing more then our own ego it will undoubtedly lead to greater happiness.
    The focus nowadays for many young is to become famous in shows like Idol (I call it Idiot) etc. or doing career in whatever.
    Fueled by a greedy market system just built around the purpose of us satisfying every desire (imaginary or not) we might have,
    make us hypnotically consume more and more, try buying happiness, but happiness can’t be bought by money
    it tends to get wings and flies away just as we think we had reached it.
    To quote a famous Indian chief “A mans heart harden when losing contact with nature”.
    If we keep on consuming and expand like this there won’t be any nature left soon to lose contact with.. well that’s another discussion.

    Yeah Sweden is quite liberal as the Netherlands if you won’t consider laws on drugs and prostitution, which both are illegal to buy in Sweden.
    This liberalism in a ‘let go with anything’ sort, which isn’t anything I’m proud of myself,
    definitely one of the main causes we have so many crushed relationships.

    About the standards of Swedish woman then, Yonatan pinpointed it again, what else can I say! (You’re more realist then pessimist in my opinion)

    Btw, one can wonder which countries Robin has been to in order to see that many ugly girls.. Afghanistan haha..!?
    When I measure beauty I count in several factors besides physical shape. Attitude, a warm heart, trustworthiness plus a lot more.
    When you put these qualities together it’s hard see Swedish girls in general topping such list
    even though I admit that beautiful and good personalities definitely exist here too and sometimes it’s just a matter of taste.
    But for more ‘wify’ gals that not just have a demand-list for you to fulfill but can fulfill Your needs as well,
    you’ll be better off looking elsewhere.
    Choose wisely if you’re planning to settle down would be my advise!

    Thanks
    Peace n’ out 8)

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

  • Wise, well thanks, that was flattering! There have been a lot of wise people in the history,
    I don’t really consider myself amongst them, only use to recite their words of wisdom sometimes.
    The message is more important than the messenger. (although it makes it easier deliver if you’re not downright stupid:))
    Probably it had been better then to be more of a bad-ass type of guy because they seem to succeed good with women.
    You yourself are definitely one to credit .. bear in mind you’ve done what others mostly talk about.
    I mean you have made big efforts to find and keep your love in another country,
    that’s admirable. I’m planning to do the same in the future if the situation doesn’t get better here soon.
    More than ever inspired thanks to this site,
    keep up the good work!

  • This is slightly offensive, you can’t generalize people like this. I am a Swedish girl, I am not liberal, uncaring or superficial (I know you didn’t say the latter, but someone who commented did). Even so, I respect your opinion but would just like you to think about how you would react if we listed the values, attitudes and appearance that every American man must have just because he was born into that country.

    • Let me know if there is anything really that offends you and I can remove it. I say over and over that these are cultural generalizations that are not true for individuals. Even though you might not be liberal a number of Swedish women are and this seems to be the trend in Swedish society. If I was a guy who was looking for a mate I would prefer a humble religious girl who was waiting for me for marriage than a modern feminist girl. Why? I am this way. I am married and have my one and only and will not ever get divorced even if to the rest of my days I am unhappy. I believe love is something that is greater than happiness or social trends. I trend all people with respect and love and forgiveness and simply recommend guys looking for mates consider these qualities in marriage.
      If you are a Swedish girl with these qualities your life will be happy.
      If you also believe in this than you will find happiness in your life. I am sure of it. If you have a heart of loyalty, humility and compassion you will live happily ever after.

  • Hey Bud, not sure of your name, but very interesting article, particularly to me. I had, up till Dec. 5th, been engaged to the love of my life after 4 years of dating from over here in the US, with her still living in Malma. NOT easy! We are both professionals, she in medical field, me in Federal govt. over here.
    I asked her to marry me in April, she said yes, but it seemed like lately,she kept getting more ensconced over there with work, a condo, and new car. I didn’t press her, because the more you push her, the more she pushes back. But I knew something was up. Briefly, aside from her beauty, what I really loved was her sense of humor. I have never laughed so much with a girl before, and though she loved to fight over childish things, mostly jealousy issues, we made a great team.
    I think she secretly liked it though when I would verbally spank her when she was being bratty (I am quite a bit older than her). But it was all part of the love, the fun. And my God, I love Sweden!
    The reason your article surprised me, was that 3 weeks before x-mas, when she was to come here for one last visit before making the final move….she ended it. She hurt my heart pretty good, I will admit, but I’m doing ok, and keeping everything in my life in perspective…plus dating is easy over here, which helps, but it’s of course not what I want.
    The reason (stated) was children…she always said she didn’t want any, and so did I. Then she hit 34, and panicked. But she kept it bottled in, and tested me on the last visit, saying she still didn’t want children. And though I was comming very much around to the idea, I took the bait, and said I didn’t think I could do it either. She logged it in..
    I always knew of course, that she would want them once married, and I would have embraced it, and been a damn good dad. But being her, and Swedish, she never brought it up anymore. Till she lowered the boom.
    I couldn’t believe the way she presented it, “it’s not working out with us”…like we were two teenagers dating for a couple months! I was in shock. Anyway, she says she wants a child, that I don’t, and she’s not in love with me anymore. I of course told her that I did, but too late, she wasn’t buying any of it.
    Long story short, I knew this was it, that she was panicking, and probably had someone else in the picture, and is rolling with that option. We have not spoken since, and she left me with an expensive non-refundable plane ticket, and a one crappy x-mas. She offered to pay for it, but I told her forget it. Still though, it was a cold thing to do.
    So I have decided to walk away and let her find her happiness. It’s my last act of love for her. I will always care what happens to her. Always. But I’m done.
    I have never loved a girl this much, nor been married, so it’s a little humiliating, and embarrassing. BUT, would I have held her here if it had worked out? I’m not ready to generalize about people, or her, but what you are saying is a scary proposition. Is this par for the course with this culture? Let me know what your thoughts are on this please, I am very interested. It might help me get over her, which I know I have to do….thanks for reading all this…hope you didn’t slit your wrists while doing it…Happy Christmas all! Dave

    Swedish girls loving foreign men

    • Dave, I am very sorry for your experience with your sweetheart. Really, I think emotional pain can be as bad as physical pain. If it par for this culture? I do not know but I have noticed many western girls and Swedish girls flake out when other girls would not. Many girls flake out.
      Flaking out is not only found in Western culture, but I rarely have meet a Polish or Ukrainian girl or Russian girl or South American girl to flake out. It is a different culture.
      Best thing is you found this out before and not after.
      I know it is cliche but you are better off without her. I do not know her full story but for me, what you have written does not sound like your dream princess. You want a girl who would sacrifice everything for the relationship. I mean I would for mine and I my wife would for me.
      Girls that have mixed feelings about children, or hot and cold is a huge red flag. There is some discounted in their being.

  • Hey, thanks for the response. Oh yeah, emotional pain? I’d rather get hit in the face with a shovel than go through this. I had a dream about her last nite, first time that’s happened. I woke up very upset, realizing it was just a darn dream.
    But you are right, and my friends and family are saying the same thing, that there were plenty of red flags. It’s just hard to get my head around. It always seemed so right to me. I keep thinking she will call, which I probably shouldn’t do. I was a gentleman when she laid it on me, but I guess she is embarrassed about the plane ticket thing.
    Who Knows what is going on in her pretty Swedish head. Advice for all, don’t ever do a long distance relationship without setting a date for making it real ,because it really isn’t real when apart. On second thought, just don’t do them at all, take care

    • I know very few long distance relationships that last unless you move it forward like living in the same place as the other person. I stayed in Eastern Europe with my wife. Maybe people think I am nuts to live in cold snowy Europe, but I love it here. But my now wife would live in the USA anytime if I asked.
      One of the problems with modern thinking women is they do not want to sacrifice their careers for their man. What they want is a man who fits into their life. I do not want that. I want a woman who sees me as her whole life because that is the way I would see someone.
      It has less to do with the country of origin, than an outlook. I want someone with an all or nothing attitude towards love. And I highly recommend you do not stop until you find that. Otherwise just enjoy your life and do not get married.
      Modern women often swindle themselves out of their own live happiness.

  • Hi Dave, I just read about your situation and it really sucks that is all happening to you. I feel like you do in the sense of emotional pain, I’d rather get hit by a bus than to feel my heart get shredded by any woman. All I can do is empathize. I have to agree with the admin on this one. I mean, I don’t know much about Sweden nor have I met any of the people from that place, however, it sounds like she really screwed up when she visited you. If she wanted marriage and a family then she should have been honest with you about it. It sounds like she got deceptive about still not wanting children and told you a lie. I mean at the age of 34? She should have known better. I hope you are able to get over this trial soon enough, dude. My advice is to cut off contact with her completely, go do other things with your time. Best wishes and God bless.

  • Wow guys…I am humbled, and moved by your thoughts…I mean it. Means a lot and I thank you. Yeah, she’s a complex gal, insecurities, depression, a little immature. But it’s funny, even though I hated those things about her, it made me love her even more. Not sure I can explain that, but maybe you know what I mean. I think she is making a huge mistake, as I am sure she will (if she hasn’t already) let some guy into her life that doesn’t mean as much to her, just to have a child. I can’t stand the thought of it. ADMIN guy, I am very impressed that you would move to Europe for your girl. I always said that I couldn’t because I can’t be a ‘Fed’ over in Sweden, but she could always be a doctor over here! A beautiful doctor who speaks perfect English! A no brainer. My God, they would have loved her! Now I wish I hadn’t been so stubborn, about a lot of things. Maybe I will write her a letter (a nice one) in a month or so, just for closure. Or maybe I’ll have moved on and won’t feel the need. Again I say, I will miss Sweden big time. Lovely people, great food… and my girl

    • I actually meet my wife here and stayed. So it is a little bit different. Why must you be a Fed? But if you love your job I understand. You could be anything you want in Europe if you were married a EU citizen as you would be one yourself, but that is another story. Besides the USA has nicer weather.
      It is funny about women, often their insecurities and depression are the things that draw guys to women. A woman’s bait or honey is to put it out there they need help or need to be rescued. Nothing wrong with that per se, but if a woman is prone to flaking it is dangerous. But if she is has a greater morality than her womanly ways, she is a keeper.

  • Hi
    I’m a Swedish girl and i´m pretty shocked by this site.. Sure, there is many strange sites and i guess this isn’t the worst ..but still.

    I don’t have blond hair, i have brown hair. And the most of my friends have brown hair, some even black-haired (and still completely swedish)
    I may be quite tall – 168 cm (5’6 i think). But that depends on what you are comparing to, in Sweden i´m about normal length.
    That thing about being happy, let’s just say it don’t include All swedes..
    And, i don’t know if anyone else have heard it but, somewhere i have read that Helga is a common name in Sweden.. Well i can tell you, from experience, it is NOT.. At least not for someone in my age (16 years old).

    But i guess everyone have preconceptions about people in other countries, including me and almost all other swedes..

    • Please Helga, help me change ideas about Sweden in a positive way. In my mind there are so many things about this culture. Besides the beauty and freedom, such as Internet freedom.
      The literature is very interesting as I have pointed out.
      Explain to me your views on dating and true love. I do not meet to be negative at all. I just perceive a social trend which is not my style. Nothing about individuals and nothing about generalizations. Just a trend in dating in Sweden which is not what I am use to. Explain to me what your ideal relationship is and more about the way you see love and the world? I am sincerely interested.

  • There are* Sorry, my english isn’t the best.
