let me be direct: the tallness is not a stereotype but a fact.
-
We donβt brag about how expensive stuff we own is. We brag about how much discount we got when we bought it.
-
If you donβt complain, nothing will ever change for the better, except for the weather.
-
''I'm like nee'' fucking dying, real dutchie right there.
-
I moved to Netherlands around 1,5 year ago, and... I love Dutch directness <3 No mind games, just plain honesty. I love this country and feel really well here.
-
3:39 "we like discounts" while there are 3 big "SALE" signs behind them. Spot on π
-
The dutch are not the same in the whole country... the diffrences are big in the way they are. There are diffrent cultures in the netherlands in diffrent provences.
-
If your culture does not distinguish between directness and rudeness, there is a trust issue in the other person's intentions. Holland scores very high in interpersonal trust, and it is this that allows us to be relatively direct without much conflict
-
Hahaha, i am randomly appearing on 3:13 speedwalking to the work π
-
Dutch: We're very open and direct. American: Hello, how are you? Dutch: Jesus Christ, the audacity. Scared the shit out of me.
-
Wow as an American to see people speak English so well, when it is their second language is just amazing. Their English is so fluid and the comprehension is incredible.
-
As someone who has family and friends in the Netherlands. They are direct and you know where you stand with most of them. Most tourists don't realise there are other provinces besides Holland.
-
It sounds contradictory how the dutch are known for be so tolerant with diversity and at the same time being jugful if someone doesn't act "normal" π€
-
I like how the woman who keeps claiming she is not direct..... is in fact very direct towards the interviewer.
-
I have been to Nederlands several times. I find the Dutch so refreshing! I am not ethnically Dutch yet I find all the point of view they express in their lives, well taken.
-
As a Dutch person, I have things I'm proud if about my country, but I HATE the quote "doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg" ("Just act normal, that's weird enough already") I just hate it soooo much
-
The discount part is so true. Im living in Spain right now and compared to NL there are hardly any discounts here in shops and especially supermarkets. For me it always gives me a good feeling when I do shopping and get many things that are discounted
-
Interesting insights into Dutch culture! It's fascinating how directness is valued, even if it may seem blunt to others. Embracing authenticity seems to be a key principle. Thanks for sharing! π³π±

I really like the dutch way of living/communicating. I see some people in the comments that say ooh I'm just gonna be rude back. And there lies the problem. Dutch people don't intent to be rude. They are just direct. And other dutch people understand this and don't take it as rude. Foreign people who don't understand it and are like " ooh i'm just gonna be rude back" have very different intentions. Their intent is to be rude.

Happy Friday, Marina π·! My parents went to Amsterdam in 2019 on a cruise around Europe for almost a month and they had enjoyed it. As an American born, I like to be punctual when it comes to making plans with friends, girlfriend because I like to value my time to people and I hope in return people value their time to me. I do hope to experience one day to take a trip to the Netherlands and other areas of the world as well. Hope you had an awesome experience over there!
