2:30 Dutch guys don't open a door for a girl !? So... Are Dutch guys no 'gentlemen'... or are they just very 'emancipated'?

A Dutch woman will probably say "I am strong enough to open doors myself you know". You will actually offend a lot of woman in The Netherlands when you start doing a lot of things for them because it will look like you don't believe they can handle it themselfs. If you can't handle anything yourself in The Netherlands, you just ask for help.

I am Dutch and I was born here, if you are on a romantic date or something, it's appreciated. Outside of that, it's often not. I must not that this is a generalisation and not every Dutch woman wants to be treated in the same way. It's definitely not like Poland though, where if you let a woman carry the grocery shopping, it's seen as rude. This is also a generalisation though. Cultural differnces, I love them.

theSilent gamer my current gf is dutch af too. But she still appreciates it if I carry her bag if it's heavy or if i open doors for her. I come from South Africa and in schools we always are taught to treat girls like literal queens. I remember one teacher would get mad if we swore of girls were nearby but if there were none he'd be a literal sailor the way he talked. Sadly nowadays a small gesture of holding a door open for 5 seconds longer because you can be nice and let the person go in easier is seen as sexist

I've been married to a Dutch woman for about 18 years now and I must say I cannot complain at all. Our relationship has always been more or less what I expected of it. We love each other; there are some minor annoyances every now and then but nothing our relationship can't handle. We have two terrific daughters. I am perfectly happy with her. There's never been this need of having to adapt to each other. But then, well, I am Dutch myself.

At a first moment I thought that dutch people were very cold hearted. They were blunt and direct in their opinions. From my culture we see love from the romantic perspective of it. Our love is a lot of times unconditional and very intense, even possessive. The negative point is that we often sacrifice our needs for our partners. There is no individuality. Here I learned that love means letting the other person have their own dreams and needs. People don't lose their freedom. And that is not being cold, quite the opposite.

However, I do believe a little possessiveness or jealousy in a relationship isn't really a bad thing. There should always be a balance between respecting someone's boundaries and passionately wanting someone. Even as a dutch person I can sometimes get agitated by that somewhat lack of passion and calculated behavior. To me it seems we're very focused on the mind, instead of seeking balance between heart and mind. So don't lose that passion, Jaqueline. Dutch people need it, even when they don't know it. ;)

As a Flemish man (Southern neighbour of the Dutch) I love Dutch women. Why? Because they are a lot more direct than the ladies in Flanders. They moved away from the "traditional" male vs female patterns. If they like you? they will tell you. Heck, they'll probably be the ones who make a move on you. Which is, in a lot of situations, unheard of in Flanders :). I, honestly, admire the Dutch in their "way of being". Yes, sometimes they are a bit rowdy and loud (where we are far more reserved in public) but even when I'm cursing at times about it, I do admire that trait. Never change who you are my northern "cousins", I really love you for it! :) I also have no idea why this is in my recommended feed but I'm happy it showed up :). Really nice video :).

Just watch dutchmen in office buildings, malls, etc. So we men want to open the door for you, but let us reach the door first. Then we will gladly open it for you and feel proud about it :-)

I think there is another aspect to that. It's called feminism. Women in the Netherlands want to be and are quite independent. So I believe that to dutch women it isn't that much of a deal.

I love what Anna says about Dutch guys skimping on being a gentleman. I'm a guy and get told both ways. That I'm gentleman but also that because I choose not to do things I should try harder to become one. I think dutch men enjoy being gentlemen to women, but in general view men and women as equals and thus we treat people as equals. The pinnen comment by Saint Srid hits the nail on the head; if you can do it yourself then do it yourself. But if you're overburdened with something we'll help you out. A trait other cultures don't have.

No it does have everything to do with it in my opinion. Just because you're born a woman doesn't mean you're a queen. Same goes for men. They are not born gents. But I understand where you're coming from. I hear it a lot, and I do understand. However, from living in a society basically knowing no royalty or gentleman behaviour I can tell you that they have no problems having fulfilling relationships regardless. It's just not a prerequisite for a successful society. What I'm saying with that is that it's not "just nature". That said I think men and women should be more mindful of each other when they are trying to be that gent or that queen.

Not that they shouldn't, but that they are perfectly capable of doing it themselves. And then obviously I don't mean that men shouldn't do it when the occasion arises, but I personally wouldn't go out of my way to hold open a door unless a person is right behind me, that's kinda just something to expect from anyone, any gender. But then there are also grey areas, if you're walking in, and there's no one behind you at the moment, but a woman comes just around the corner, even if he saw her coming or heard her coming, he has no obligation to keep it open just for her imo. However the point I'm trying to defend is that women aren't exactly queens and men aren't workers, more specific would be.. women can be queens at times (or deserve it) and men can act as workers when it's neccesary, not when it's something they ''should'' be. Men have handled themselves all the way back from the stone age mainly on their own. And yes, women have played a part in that, but it's not exactly that women were worshipped by them, but most likely just neccessary to feed the kids. Simply said : Man hunts, provides food, woman feeds and nurtures. Not to mention, men are leaders due to them not being the smartest. Men act on instinct and logic (even if the logic from centuries ago was..questionable) while women act mainly on emotion. There's a reason why the majority of the leaders were and are men. I don't question that women may be smarter than men in some degree, I mean emotionally for sure, but perhaps not in the way to rule over people in a way that would satisfy both parties. Each party have neccessary assets, however for men those are more in domination, safe keeping and providing. While for women they were mostly compromised of taking care of offspring. Not sure if it makes a whole lotta sense since I'm pretty tired after pulling an all nighter and even working a full shift -_- but hope you get kind of the gist of it. These days it's 360 degrees different though compared to centuries ago. The average girl of my age triggers me endlessly compared to what I've seen in documentaries and heard from by elderly people from roughly 60-70 years ago.

Everyone speaks English and most Dutch people are happy to speak English which was definitely a barrier to being able to communicate in Dutch. What turned it around for me was going to an intensive program such as dutchsummerschool where you are forced to continue speaking only in Dutch.

For me it was easy, at one point (while still living abroad) my wife made her intention clear she wanted to learn Dutch and speak Dutch to me. She started to read children books and after a month even though her Dutch was still very poor, she forced me to only talk Dutch and got really mad if I switched. Now she is basically fluent. You have to force yourself to use Dutch everyday, constantly. Force yourself to watch the news in Dutch, read articles and books in Dutch and watch Dutch tv series (even if it is with subtitles)

Im dutch and i can really appreciate these videos 😂 i just really like to see what they think about us, so thanks!!

1:55 Wow, she describes it very beautifully.

This is a complicated subject. I think it is often all about ego. If you speak your partner's language you feel reassuringly dominant (even if you aren't) :) The problem is, it quickly becomes habitual, unless you manage to apply the admirable system of 'set language days' system described in the video. Personally I haven't managed this ... yet. However if a third person is present, the problem of which language to use is solved by that person's choice of language.

I am Dutch, but whenever people speak English to me, I'll reply in English, even when I'm instructed to reply in Dutch. If I would take part of a Dutch show where Dan Karaty is one of the judges, I know can't speak Dutch to him, even knowing there is a woman hidden in the building translating everything I say in Dutch to English, though his earphone. That being said, it will be hard for me to speak Dutch to a woman I love if she's from a non-Dutch-speaking country. It's stronger than myself. But, they also say I have a talent for knowledge transfer, heck I've even been working as a kind of "private teacher" recently, although, I must impress on "kind of", as I am more of a helper than an actual teacher. But if you ever fall in love with a Dutch person here are a few handy phrases: "Ik hou van jou" = "I love you" "Ik hou ook van jou" = "I love you too" "Je bent mooi" = "You are beautiful" "Ik wil altijd bij je zijn" = "I wanna be with you, forever" "Ik kan niet leven zonder jou" = "I can't live without you" "Ik denk altijd aan je" = "I am always thinking about you" "Mag ik je knuffelen?" = "May I hug you?" "Je bent een droom die uitkomt" = "You are a dream coming true" "Ik geef je mijn hart" = "I'll give you my heart" "Ik ben verliefd op jou" = "I am in love with you" And then a few words: "Schat", "Schatje" = "Honey", "Darling" "Kus", "Zoen" = "Kiss" "Schoonheid" = "Beauty" (mostly only used for women). "Mooie ogen" = "Beautiful eyes" "Sexy" = "Sexy" "Knuffel" = "Hug" "Romantiek" = "Romance" "Romantisch" = "Romantic" "Liefde" = "Love" A few things NOT to say: "Neuken" = "Fucking" "Lekker wijf" = "Hot chick" (Although Dutch women can find this term pretty intimidating). "Tieten" = "Boobs" "Jij bent lelijk" = "You are ugly" "Loop naar de hel" = "Go to hell" Really if you want it to be a fiasco, those are the phrases to say... :P

Advies... Neem een goede leraar Engels en lees mijn tekst nog eens. Ik heb namelijk NIET gezegd dat ik graag Engels spreek met Dan Karaty... Ik heb gezegd dat als hij mij in een talentenjacht zou beoordelen dat ik altijd in het Engels op hem zou reageren omdat hij nu eenmaal Engels praat en omdat ik dan in het Engels nadenk reageer ik dan in het Engels en niet in het Nederlands omdat het gewoon automatisch gaat, zonder nadenken. Zoals je ook zonder nadenken (mag ik hopen) als iemand een steen naar je hoofd smijt. En je vocabulaire niet misplaatst? Ik zou ook maar een op Nederlandse les gaan om te weten waarom jouw vocabulaire respectloos is, en misschien moet ik je ook nog wat geschiedenislessen geven om je duidelijk te maken dat ze daar, in de tijd dat mijn grootouders nog klein waren, je mond voor uitspoelden met groene zeep. Als jij het woord "tyfuslul" niet misplaatst vindt, moet ik je misschien even een Dikke Van Dale sturen zodat je kunt opzoeken wat die twee woorden die je hebt samengevoegd betekenen. Hoe durf je eigenlijk iemand voor "tyfuslul" uit te schelden en dan zelf ook nog eens iemand (wie het ook is) te beschuldigen van respectloosheid? I wonder if I should REFUSE to speak Dutch to you. Aber ich glaube nicht daß du immer verstehst warum! Et je ne pense pas je dois pouvoir parler beaucoup de langues, mais beaucoup de peuple pensent je dois, parce-que je suis néerlandais. No comprendo! Und ich bin auch böse daß mann im Ausland erwarten daß ich wie ein Niederländer alle Sprachen sprechen und niemand Niederländisch lernen werden. But that's not a reason to insult somebody, like that! Du behöver lära dig några sätt. Tjoy kien! Het is makkelijk om met kritiek en scheldwoorden te smijten op half gelezen teksten of teksten die je niet begrepen hebt, maar daar maak je alleen jezelf belachelijk mee en dan durf je nog over gebrek zelfwaarde te spreken? Je hebt weer eens bewezen waarom tekst verklaren op school zo belangrijk is en waarom er zoveel nadruk op gelegd wordt. Gillen krijsen kan iedereen, maar nadenken over wat je zegt, is voor sommigen van ons wat hoog gegrepen, geloof ik. En in principe respecteer ik iedereen... behalve als ze gaan gillen en krijsen op basis van informatie die men niet begrepen heeft of anderzijds (moedwillig) uit zijn context haalt. De helft van de wereldproblemen zouden al opgelost zijn of minder erg als mensen daar eens mee zouden stoppen.

En als je niet met Donald Trump vergeleken wilt worden, heb ik een klein advies. Gedraag je dan niet als zodanig. Doch, met woorden als "druipkruis" lijk je zelfs dat niveau nog niet waardig en besef ik dat ik zojuist iemand beledigd heb. Sorry, Donald Trump, ik heb je nooit gemogen, maar deze keer ben ik te ver gegaan. Zo, dat hebben we ook weer gehad. Met woorden als "tyfuslul" en "druipkruis" geef je echt je algemene niveau aan. Ik ben echt geen lid van de bond tegen het vloeken, maar onnodig schelden, is niet netjes. En dan nog even over je opmerking over mijn "voorliefde" voor de VS. Waar uit maak je op dat ik een voorliefde voor de VS zou hebben? Uit de bovenstaande tekst blijkt dat niet. Ik heb trouwens niet eens gezegd of ik Dan Karaty wel of niet mocht. Mensen die mij kennen weten dat ik van de VS namelijk nooit een hoge pet op heb gehad, maar ik beoordeel mensen niet op hun nationaliteit, dus ook Amerikanen niet. Ik geloof niet in "wij" en "zij", ik geloof ik mensen. Waar ze vandaan komen boeit me weinig. Je vult dus dingen in op basis van halve informatie die je ook nog eens een keer niet goed gelezen hebt en dan ga jij mensen voor respectloos uit lopen maken en eigenschappen toewijzen die niet eens waar zijn en waar ook nooit een woord over is gerept. De waarheid is dat ik altijd een voorliefde heb gehad voor vreemde talen, Engels incluis, en omdat ik op het internet altijd internationaal actief ben geweest en dus min of meer wel Engels moest gebruiken ben ik in die taal vergroeid geraakt zodanig dat als iemand Engels tegen me spreekt ik zonder nadenken Engels terugpraat en dat noem jij respectloos en gebrek aan eigenwaarde? Kop op zeg! Ik heb al een keertje Nederlands geoefend met Syrische vluchtelingen om ze zo te helpen in Nederland verder te komen en ik vind het leuk om mensen Nederlands te leren en zo iets van mijn eigen nationale achtergrond mee te geven en ik heb mijn nationaliteit ook nergens onder stoelen of banken geschoven. Omdat ik dat zo leuk vind heb ik ook wat voorbeelden van Nederlandse zinnen boven gegeven. En nee, ik heb ook geen voorliefde voor Syrië. En moet ik trots zijn omdat ik een Nederlander ben? Het enige wat ik daarvoor heb moeten doe is uit Nederlandse ouders geboren worden, nou zeg, wat een prestatie... Je maakt je kwaad over niets, en de giller is dat je het jezelf aandoet. Ik zei het eerder en ik zeg het nog eens. Je wilt niet met Trump vergeleken worden, dus gedraag je niet als zodanig, en geef gewoon toe dat je dingen uit hun context hebt getrokken en dingen erbij hebt verzonnen (iets wat Trump trouwens ook doet, vandaar de vergelijking). Als jij echt beter bent, laat het dan zien.

What? I am married to a dutch since 2010 and he has been opening doors for me every single time.

I can relate to this! My husband is from Belgium and he speaks Dutch. I’m from the US but I’m Mexican American so I speak English and Spanish. We just moved to Belgium and I’ve been taking classes to learn Dutch and it is so hard to learn!!! I just finished level 2 so I’m going to keep going and hopefully become fluent one day. I know he appreciates me doing this and it makes me happy, but he has to learn Spanish too soon 😄

Aaricia // zeepaarden trust me I KNOW! Lol everyone immigrating to Belgium knows it’s Flemish and not Dutch. However everyone also knows you don’t learn Flemish you learn Dutch. My husband is a native Belgian and even he says that his classes were in proper Dutch and not Flemish. I take my courses in Brugge and all my classmates struggle with learning Dutch and not Flemish, but that’s just how it is.

Uhm.. he doesn't ''have'' to learn spanish. He lives in Belgium, what he needs spanish for? I mean you migrated to his country.. it'd be weird if we also had to learn arabic because we get an overload of arabic people here.

I keep the door open after using it and someone is near, never explicitly open a door for someone, unless they're carrying something or are struggling opening it (being old, a weird door or something similar)

"They don't Dutch you" was a very cute bit of misspeaking.

The dutch sound of love may resemble frogs which are in love but once you're able to decipher the language, it truly is beautiful!

The Dutch are very direct and logical. It doesn't make sense to go out of your way to do something for a woman when she can easily do it herself. I know foreigners who have gone out of their way to open doors for me, take my jacket for me etc etc, never in my life have I felt weaker than in those moments because you do not feel equal, you do not feel like you have any kind of control. Dutch men can be proper gentlemen when they want to, but most often they just treat you equal so you can feel comfortable, respected and like you immediately fit in.

If you already speak English and German, attempting to learn Dutch presents a plethora of troubles. So I pretty much gave up when I was in the Netherlands...... Everyone I met spoke English or German or both, anyway. Such a fun place to visit!

Dutch guys are to the point💪. We dont like figuring out bodylanguage, just say what you think or need!

You need the language to talk about things that English doesn't have words for. For instance "verkering" is the word for an amourous relationship that doesn necessarily include sex. Note that in Dutch you fall in love TO (je wordt verliefd OP), and make love WITH (je vrijt met). We also have a semi-poetic term "de liefde bedrijven"

That's true, there are some words in some languages that can't be translated. That does not mean the other language does not have an equivalent word or expression to match the same feeling or situation. Never assume that. English is a very rich language. The issue is that most of the times English language it is used as Lingua Franca and so none of the parties communicating will master it as well as their own native language. So one of them will criticise English for not having words for feelings they can only express in their native languages, when in reality it's the lack of true English language mastery that is lacking.

Wrong Luis. Anyone can consult native speakers of English who also speak another language. Thus you find out there is no word for "gunnen" or "eigenwijs (when it's a good thing)" or "zorgvuldig (when not extreme)". And how about "modale partkels"? "forget it but"?

Headstrong/stubborn (though often used in a negative way does not mean it's negative)= eigenwijs careful=zorgvuldig (i.e doing something with care). It just seems your vocabulary is lacking a bit, no offense. I'm Dutch and I'm married to an American and live in the USA. I always find it hard to find the words when they describe complex feelings. Since I've grown up expressing them in Dutch. You have to learn to not be literal but find the word that "feels" the same. And, indeed, sometimes there won't be one. The literal translation of gezellig does not come close to what it means in Dutch. Mostly again because for us it describes a feeling that we attach to certain people/events/places. But you can find different non-literal translations for the seperate things it means to us in different contexts.

I’m watching this because in my math class their is a foreign exchange student from Amsterdam who sits right next to me and she is so beautiful. I can’t keep her off my mind but don’t know how to start a conversation someone help

I think the reason dutch people get so happy when people try to learn dutch is because dutch isnt a widely spoken language. In Dutch schools we're tought english, french, and german (and sometimes even Spanish or Chinese). But I doubt in Germany, France, or English-speaking coutnries they're tought Dutch. Dutch people are expected to just learn their language instead of them learning our language because we're such a small country. It always makes me happy to hear people speaking Dutch if it isn't their mother language. (Also Dutch is a pain in the ass to learn.)

That is one I notice they are not opening door for a woman....but one thing I notice Dutch man Is very sweet even In public places ...and they happy if you try speak dutch with him 😍😍

1. Proves a point that women in some countries themselves are not aware of what are the signs of equality. As a female myself I never let other people pay my bill, always split. Because: It's not like you're buying me. I might make more money than you. 2. As a trilingual, proudly learning Dutch now.

I have to disagree with Wiola. I’m Polish too and have been in Netherlands since 2013. I know a lot of Dutch men who are very polite and are gentlemens ;) If someone is a princess, will need a lot of attention. Ik hoop dat mijn engels iedereen kan wel begrijpen.

I will open a door, but not specifically for a woman. If I arrive first, I open the door. But if your a capable grown ass woman, you can just open that car door yourself. Too be honest, I've never been on a date with a woman who expected me to. They just get out at the same time as me. And when it comes to carrying bags, I just ask once. If she says no, fine, carry them yourself.

Hé Voor-Steven, als jij Russisch leert, heb je één enorm voordeel. Nederlanders hebben lang niet zo'n raar accent in het Russisch, als gasten uit de landen om ons heen. Nederlanders kunnen heel aardig echt Russisch klinken. Tenzij je al een heel sterk accent in het Nederlands hebt, dan krijg je so'n Noorthollants of Brabo accent dat je meeneemt in je Russisch.

Dutch men send drunken messages to you when they love you. They do that because being drunk makes you brave to admit something.

The language barrier comes up just in the job hunting in my case. Speaking exclusively English with my Dutch husband proves to be just perfect.

Anca AS you could learn Dutch from your partner and then your work barrier would strongly decrease. Don't waste the opportunity of learning another language when you have someone fluent at it to learn from ;)

About the gentleman thing; as a girl myself I wouldn’t mind opening my own doors or getting my own chairs, it’s appreciated if a guy did it but I honestly wouldn’t mind if that wasn’t. But things like heavy bags or something like a necessity would be expected in my opinion, that’s how a relationship should be. Why bother worrying about such small things?

That Irish guy has a dutch accent :P

I LOVE the 2 Polish young ladies. They totally get it and bring it with Polish charm. I must elaborate. ALL men like to teach women 1 or 2 things. It indeed broadens their shoulders and makes them feel THE MAN and therefore good. (like the old days when we went out hunting). I suggest you women exploit this. (as i am sure you do). Pity quite a few Dutch men, as shown in their comments, do not understand the wittyness and fact that the ladies DO understand the emancipation of Dutch men as another way of gentlemen’s hood. Dutch men; Listen properly ! Ps , I am a Dutch man.

Especially for the polish ladies, that's the price of being equal! Opening the doors yourself! Its your choice. You want to be equal or a princess.

Dutch man and women are equal. So don’t expect a man to hold the door for you or carry your bags. Just as women expect guys to do the feminine tasks. Its the “price” you pay for equality ;-)

The best thing about being in love in Dutch is that you can have a romantic evening with your girl, gaze lovingly into her eyes, take her hand in yours, lean in close and say "Je bent een schat van een kind!"

I have a male friend who tries so very hard to be a gentleman... pulling out a chair for me, trying to take my coat, opening doors, letting me step through the door first, paying for dinners, all that sort of stuff... as a Dutch woman I respond with 'I can do those things myself, you know? I don't need someone to help me with every single thing I do. I have hands, I can open doors and pull out chairs, I'm not weak, I can carry bags... but if you want to pay for my dinner, go right ahead because free food is good!' (yes I am very Dutch) It's not just that Dutch men wouldn't be considered a gentleman, it's also that Dutch women aren't considered ladylike. We want to be able to do these things on our own.

hahahaha Henk with his THICK DUTCH accent !

I’m originally from Philippines and married to my Dutch man for 19 years now and still counting ☺️ The Dutch men are caring, helpful and gentlemen 😁 and as to my experience it is always- “ladies first” 😉 they open the doors for you either it’s the house door or a car door or the wc door 😂

For guys dating dutch woman, it is not expected for you to open door or those simple gentleman acts. Some would even take it the wrong way. But the best thing dating here is go dutch!

We Dutch have a particular sence of humor. And to understand that humor/ humour... it is necessary to speak some Dutch too. To know some dutch to understand. I liked to say, that any child of mine, should go to Afrika, and only should come home when it was pissy potted. Women from abroad could think I 'am an asshole. The joke is in "looking seriously"... and you can only tell by our fun eyes (cheeky smile). Yeah, we like to say a lot of things, we do not always mean. Dutch humour... it takes some understanding, to recognize this.

One big reason why I think Dutch men compared to other countries don't really ' court ' is because we Dutch have always been kinda ahead in like emancipating ( i think it's the same word english xD ). For example me as a female if a man would hold open my door and he's not like a paid taxi driver i'd be like ' o.O No thanks I have two hands I'm not a little kid hun. ' we tend to perfer people being themselves immediately because if you stay together for longer they're not going to keep that up. Plus here it's not all Male X Female so I think the stereotypes of females having to be like fucking seduced into something is dying out xD and I'm very happy about that cause if I'm on a date i don't need the male to pay for my stuff I can work for my money as well xD

Roets! Bluddie Roets!

They don't judge you, they Dutch you.

Indeed they will not open the door for you, or take your heavy bags. But I can see how much they have value on it, they believe that women is respected that way, by making them independent, to be able to do things by themselves. Idk about most people, but that's what I know in some people I've known.
