So Marina, you're telling me that there's one talkative male Norwegian out there who agreed to talk for almost 2 hours on a podcast. This man must be an exception to the general rule! 🙃 Informative and entertaining talk.

Haha he is one of a kind. I am telling you - I met this man randomly on the street. He looked super scary but stopping him resulted in a conversation we couldn't stop. We just stood on the street chatting away for ages 😂

I know many Norwegians like this, but I belong to a different generation. Maybe he was born 25 years too late.

His sense of humour is over the roof. Laughed throughout the podcast.

Yes he has a very dry sense of humour which I absolutely loved. This is basically why we connected immediately in Oslo and why I wanted to continue chatting to him

Yes dry humor is the way to go in the north😄

Marina, Norwegians from the south are not the same as we from Northern Norway. We are known as the Italians of the Nordic, so you should visit Tromsø.❤️

He is the best!

Interesting and charming guest.

Free meal women are very common in the US. The more attractive they are, the more likely you, as a male, will just be used to pay for a meal because she is bored on whatever night it is. They have their list of guys on their phones and they sure as hell know who the pushover free meal guys are. That is why as an American guy, if I am going on a date, it is clarified up front that we are splitting the bill long before we get to wherever we are going. If there is another date after that, it will also be split. This method quickly washes away the women who are only interested in using you for your wallet, versus actually interested in spending time with you.

“Just come over, I’m making spaghetti.” That’s the way to handle it.

a great conversation

I wish foreigners would be informed of these cultural differences before getting involved ...save us a lot of misunderstanding

can you please interview him again? he's such a great interviewee!

Really interesting video! Thank you both! 😊 Seems that Bergen is the Thessaloniki (Vs Athens) of Greece 😋

Sounds exactly like a Scottish Christmas party, but then we do have a lot of Norwegian DNA. 😂

Next Denmark 🇩🇰

Norwegian-American here. Sondre and his natural contrariness, gives me hope for my cousins there.

I am from Northern Norway, and I find what he is describing weird.

I'm from South-East of Norway, I also find it weird... This is more the jokes we tell about us self as Norwegians when we want attention from some foreigners... Except the part of the "Julebord", and the part of "one good friend vs. multiple not so good friends". Maybe I am to old, and experienced the '80s and '90s.

So I’m at marker 39:57 and . . . did Marina just go 50 SoG on this man?!? 😂❤😂 And he turns it around on her! Love it 😂😂😂

The thing is that dating did not used to be so expensive. Taking a girl out to the movies and an ice cream was a "cheap date", affordable for everybody and very enjoyable. it would be "low maintenance" as Sondre puts it. In addition, if the young man wanted to see you, he would come to your family home and he would socialize with you, some friends, and your family. Your mother would feed him and he would be invited to Christmas parties and other events. Now dating is more isolated and one on one. Now going to the movies is $60 if you share the popcorn. Who can afford that ? I went to a boring, small neighborhood pub and on the menu, the basic hamburger was $31 !!!! So for a guy to invite you out for just a hamburger and a beer is going to cost almost $100 !! I am on the side of that men need to pay for dates. It is gallant and good manners. But even I can see that expecting a guy to pay $100 - $200 every time he sees you is unsustainable.

I love your podcasts especialy this one because you both made me laugh.Why didint you make a video about Greeks and dating culture in Greece? I would love to see that

Will get to it ☺️

As a Norwegian I think this guy represents only himself and not all Norwegians, being it boys or girls. You can’t categorize people that much. Norwegians are all individuals and of different types or personalities. You can’t say that Norwegians are like this or that. We are all different. I have never experienced a Norwegian not wanting to talk with me even though we don’t know each other. It all depends on how you approach them.

where is this guy from? he was very positive about western cities, is he from Bergen as well?

I was involved with a Norwegian man for some years. To this day, I can't figure him out. In all the years, he has never said happy birthday or bought me a Christmas present. his sister was quite different in that she was quite emotional.

I think you can replace ‘Norwegian’ with ‘socially inept,’ lol. It’s not a normal, nor common feature among Norwegian men or women.

Ironically, they don't like acting like alphas but they want to be with alphas.

That's correct to think about a Norwegian

Mel Gibson would be a good interview on this alcohol topic.

Gene Simmons, Wilt Chamberlain, Sammy Davis Jr...etc etc etc....bedpost number crunchers.
