Hi guys, I'm marina so while back I did a video called
dating in North America versus dating in Western Europe and a few of you requested the similar things to be compared with Western Europe and
Eastern Europe now being Eastern European and having spent so much time in Western Europe
I think this is something that's really close to my heart, so let's get to it Western Europe versus Eastern European dating
Now of course when you compare Western Europe and Eastern Europe you get quite a lot of countries are very
Different in the way that they do think so guys. I am aware that Sweden and Italy are very different
I'm also aware that Hungary and Russia and Poland are quite different, but just for the sake of this video
Let's just keep it general because it is you know just a few minutes now before we get started
Don't forget to subscribe to us for weekly videos on dating around the world as well as hit the bell button to receive future
Notifications and thank you to rose gala for providing me with these beautiful dresses that I'm gonna be wearing in the video today
Okay, let's get started
Did you decide
So many options, what do you wanna get I don't know I look at the menu can they get them any place, okay, thank you
So I got you the health special just for you
You've gone for so long
I was bored for that table got them a drink that table got them a drink and the waitress if she was so unhappy
If you've ever been on a date with an Eastern European or a Baltic guy the one way that comes to mind is
Assertive knit now of course in Western Europe you get Greeks. You know you get Italians
They're also quite assertive, but nowhere to the point that I'm talking about here
This is the behavior that says I'm Ximena can take care of you. I will put a fight for you
I decide for both of us that was my Eastern European accent. I sound like that guy from like Tom Hanks in that movie
Terminal
Know whether you find it attractive or a turn-off is another story?
But this is a world away from the world of Scandinavians Germans Austrians, Swiss
Those guys on the are on the opposite end of the spectrum of course someone that is
French and Spanish them to be a little bit closer, but they are still super relaxed, and they like to go with the flow you
Know I am I'm 30 years old
I would like to have a career you know, but I do not have a career, so I don't feel accomplished
You know look at this girl. She's 23. She has her own engineering company. What do I have?
Jana chica, you know I just am worried. I'm 30 years old. I don't feel accomplished
Everybody in my friends. They're married. What do I have I have career, but I don't have made, but I'm not just kids look
Aliona she's 23 years old. She has two kids two kids. I have zero
Don't know what to do
As we all know Western Europe and the majority of Western Europe is all about feminism women feel like it's important
It's crucial to make something of themselves to have a career to have the funds to live
Independently you know and after all of that
That's when they can get married or or meet someone so a lot of women tend to get married a little bit later on in
Life like in their early 30s or even mid-30s a lot of people don't even feel the need to get married
I mean why would you get married in countries like Denmark? It's even common to have kids without actually even living together
So the rules are quite all over the place
There are no rules really
But the one thing that is important is to feel like you can take care of yourself before you can get another person on board
Not in Eastern Europe in Eastern Europe, you are literally
Pressured to get married, and this is especially true in certain countries like Russia Ukraine Moldova
Women feel the need to be married by their mid-20s if they're not they are scorned
Career is important a lot of women are independent
But the Family Values play the role number one in order to be a woman
You must have a family
Yes, everything is changing, but still this remains a lot more than a dozen Western Europe
Okay, I'm going to go to the bar. Okay. See you later
Hey, honey I go to store I get some food, okay
Now when you say Eastern European woman the one thing that comes to everybody's mind is how they look
Appearance is very important in Eastern Europe from you know hair to make up to nails to just the way you present yourself you are
Judged by how you look always?
Now that is not to say that Western European women don't care about how they look
They really do but the emphasis here is very different. They want to emphasize their natural features
Simplicity and elegance is sought after more than it is in Eastern Europe. You will see women dressed in tennis shoes and
Shorts as opposed to tight dresses and heels, and they still look good now of course
We are talking about a variety of countries here
Women in France of course tend to put a lot of emphasis into how they look again though natural is sought-after
In Eastern Europe we have a saying
Beauty takes pain now you take that to mind think about what it says so I've been taught to believe that wearing heels is
you know
Automatically what you have to do if you're a woman, but you know having spent a lot of time in Western Europe
I've come to love the idea of just wearing flats wearing tennis shoes
To club of it how much fun is that you still feel really sexy, but you do feel really?
Liberated now don't be fooled to think that once you go to Eastern Europe
You're going to be met with women in super tight dresses and high heels this really depends on the region that you're going to
If you are going to big cities like Moscow and Warsaw women there
Embody the Western European fashion a little bit more you will see women in flats. Let's make up
You know still very stylish
but a little bit toned down now if you're going to villages you are going to be met with a
90s look like literally everybody is really decked out, so there is quite a lot of difference in where you go to?
The one word that comes to mind when you're talking about Eastern Europe is
Gold-digger now. I really want to break that stereotype
And I want to talk about the mentality of Western Europe and Eastern European women okay?
So the one thing that distinguishes Western European women is their need for independence of course this depends
Do you go to Sweden to go to Italy the values are a little bit different there, but for majority of the women?
Being able to take care of your themselves is really important
That is not to say that women don't want a man to pay for them on the first date a lot of women have told
Me personally I would love for men to be more of a gentleman here in Europe to pay
You know the bill to bring me some flowers, but here's where the difference is
It doesn't go beyond that if a man keeps on paying for them
They start feeling uncomfortable, and they've told me as well that we don't wanna feel like we owe him something
We don't to feel like he's using us I mean we're both equal partners. Why can't we pay for ourselves this is?
2017
2018 by the time this video comes
With history European women it's like what nothing
in this
You know you have to understand that money is more than money for Eastern European women it is the ability for a man to assert
his dominance
To you know play the role of a man of the provider. It is a very traditional point of view of course
Again, it depends. Are we talking of a poll and are we talking about Ukraine?
It does range a little bit for the most part. That's the way it is. Hope you guys enjoy the video
I love talking about it so hit a big like if you saw it the same and stay tuned for next week's video
See you next week keep on breaking down your barriers
