Oh and to answer your questions.. this is about Dutch men.. VERY generally spoken!! No attack on anyone

- Are they very caring, protective?
They are quite caring, but not protective here.

- Do they say "don't go there", "don't wear this skirt, it's too short".?
No they don't. They might warn you for something dangerous to go to, but they won't forbid you.

- Do they ever get very jealous?
No.. not realy.. a bit..i guess the 'good' ones feel uncomfortable when you go out with friends or have a close friend that is a guy, but they won't speak their jealousy much and its not as strong as in Türkiye.

- Don't they mind if his girlfriend comes home late and drunken?
They won't get mad at you, but who would love his girlfriend to come home late and drunk?!

- Do they use too many love words, do they say "I love you" easily?
Once they r really in love they'll tell you they love you and they use lovewords, but i dont think as much as turkish/kurdish men. (or any man that grew up in turkey)

- Are they casanova (woman chaser)?
Some of them, yes.

- Do they believe in faith very much or little one night stands don't matter for them?
No, i don't think many dutch men (dutch people actually, women also) believe in faith. And some of them dont care about one night stands.

- Is virginity something they would prefer in a girl? Or what?
No I don't think that is VERY important for most dutch men. If they love you, they would ofcourse like to be 'your first time', but they won't blame you. You wont loose your NAMUS.

I would say the best thing about relationships being 50/50 with housework and maoney etc, although this is nice. The best part is that you are best friends and do things together. If theres a movie you want to see at the cinema you can atomatically know you will be going together or its its your day off you know you will probably be spending it together. not just him spending his time going with his friends no problem and expecting you just stay home and clean.

i think the point about brides being virgins, is nowadays more to do with the male ego. If a girl is a virgin on her wedding night, she will have no one to compare her mans performance with. she will think he is ok because he is all she's known.

I personally think you should try before you buy!

I am shocked at this revelation! This is more evidence that you are more sensitive than you pretend. But, would you marry a girl who wasn't a virgin? Will your brothers, friends, uncles, father ask you if she is a virgin and what will you say if they ask? Will you say 'yes' to satisfy them, or will you say 'No why should she be?' Peer and family pressure is big in turkey and sometimes even a modern boy will give in to family/cultural/religious/moral values, which perpetuate the oppression of women.

Quoting Deli_kizin:




It's very interesting to hear all of these... When I was in Holland, I tried to observe dutch guys a bit. Most of them are very friendly and smile a lot. and they're mostly very kind and respectful.(There were some tall, blonde, cute guys hehe ) But I found them a bit shy, their face change to red when you treat them a bit closely. And during my stay no real dutch guy approached to me (no, no I'm not ugly. The ones that approached were turks, morocons and blacks. But somehow I got the impression that dutch guys are very emotional.

nanna,

It's my shame that it's my first time that I hear about Beliza. Now, I know that it's a small country under Mexico.
From the things you told, it seems that its culture is very close to Turkey. Now, I'm curious to get to know more about it. I'll search!
I love to know more about new cultures

In the UK there are many men who can only be described as scallies!!! They are supposedly hard and generally jealous and possessive. Fortunately this is changing!

I am a bit the other way - I cook dinner regularly, have no issue with doing the washing and cleaning. I love my girlfriend dearly but have no issue with who she goes out with, where she goes or how short she wears her skirt. I can hardly comment about skirt length as my skirts are generally much shorter than her's lol

Personally I have no issue with my girlfriend being friends with whoever she pleases - either women or men. So long as she doesn't keep it a secret. After all, she has as much right to do what she wants with her life as I do with mine!
