Karl,

The Danish and Dutch cultures are close. It was fun for me to watch the Dutch blond girl, because that is my experience. I have experience with Dutch girls like the girl in the video. It is not easy for a foreign guy to date a Dutch woman or girl. Socially the Dutch culture is difficult and in fact if you merge the 2 video’s you come close to the Dutch culture. Like in Denmark 🇩🇰 you have to blend in. It takes time to get to know the Dutch culture, social codes. To be honest, merging the Dutch and the Danish dating video comes closer to the Dutch reality. I think the Dutch girl is to harsh on the fellow. To critical, but honest.

Even for a Dutch fellow dating a Dutch girl can be complicated, but Dutch girls and women are nice, social and good to spend a lot of time with. If you have conquered a Dutch wonen you can have a hygge, gezellige, cosy, gemütliche and romantic time with her. The only thing you have to accept and get used to that they are extremely organised, pragmatic, realistic, direct and in fact a sort of managers. Like in Denmark equality between men and women is seen as important. All I said about Dutch women probably counts for Danish women too. Karl has experience with his auntie form Esjberg and his 2 Danish cousins who were like sisters to him. And of course his Danish mother. I have experience with the Danish girls Kira and Monica from Copenhagen. Visited them there twice in 1992 and 1994. And saw their friends and family.

Cheers,
Pieter

For some time, actually of long past time, my self had realized what you have mentioned is there is a very close sameness between Dutch and Danish culture. I would wonder if it is of the climate of the North Sea, or simply very simular people in close proximity of one and another, or both.

I am happy you had fun with the videos as I did.

Dear Karl,

I do believe that the very close sameness between Dutch and Danish culture exists both due to the climate of the North Sea and the fact that they are very similar North West European people in close proximity of one and another. Both are predominantly Protestant Christian (Calvinist and Lutheran) countries, both are Germanic and both are entrepreneurial, merchant like, commercial navy, fishermen, modern farming nations with important designers, architects, multi nationals, an advanced Food industry (Unilever), chemic industry, ICT sectors, advanced service sectors, Financial institutions and financial markets, larger beer companies (Heineken-Amstel & Carlsberg Tuborg) and electronic firms (Bang & Olufsen and Philips) and monarchies and parliamentarian democracies with rather liberal societies.

The only difference is that Danish is a North Germanic Scandinavian country which is close to the Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic Scandinavian countries, while the Netherlands is a West-Germanic language which is closer to Germany, Flanders Belgium, Luxemburg, Austria, Swiss German and England in the UK 🇬🇧. Another bridge between Denmark and the Netherlands is the Wadden Islands and the Frisian connection. Both countries and Germany have a Frisian minority and Frisian area. Karl, you come from there and you are partly Danish Frisian yourself. It is also noticeable that many Danes and Dutchmen are tall, blond and blue eyed next to the Danish and Dutch brunette people, redheads and people with black hair and black eyes of course and the Black Dutch and Danes and the Asian Danes and Aisian Dutch people.

Cheers,
Pieter
