Adapting to a new culture for love (23)
tainogirlTrincity,West Indies,, Trinidad and Tobago215 Threads 2 Polls 3,777 PostsThis being an international forum we are probably going to come across many people from different cultural backgrounds who are looking for love online. Would you be willing to have a relationship with someone you met online from a different culture? If their cultural background was vastly different from yours how far would you be willing to adapt to theirs to make the relationship work?

Anything but the finnish culture. I've tried for four years, but just don't think I can do it.
It's soooo different here, compared to where I'm from, but I don't mind being friends with finns.

I'd draw the line at meeting a woman belonging to a tribe of head-hunters in Borneo! The cultural differences would be just too great in this case. Mind you, I did receive a letter from a woman in Outer Mongolia who said she liked my profile. I just wish the girl next door would write instead...And I'm hardly gonna attempt speaking to her on the stairs coz this is Sweden (and it's probably forbidden to speak to women on the stairs anyway!). So it looks like it's gonna have to be a Mongolian, then...

I have met all kinds of interesting people online at this site and others, even as far as Egypt, I like learning about new cultures, it hasn't gotten beyond the friendship stage but I suppose it would depend on the type of culture even though generally I am a pretty adaptable person

Yeah! Findland is at least! I often pop over to Helsinki on one of those ghastly luxury cruise ships just for the day. Mind you, I've never seen YOU there (and you'd certainly stick out in all that snow). Actually, come to think of it, Helsinki is alot nearer than Outer Mongolia....Hmmm....And you ARE rather exotic...Hmmm...And you didn't get on to me too much for writing school"girls"...Hmmm....And last but not least, YOU'RE NOT SWEDISH!! BINGO!! This HAS to be worth another night on one of those ghastly luxury cruise ships...

I'm too difficult, forget me.
Women are easy here, have you tried Stockmann? Foreign men stand infront of the building, where the girls will throw themselves at them.

"Yes,I'm in a relationship where we both come
from different backgrounds,culture wise.
Personally,I don't see the difference;
sure,we may speak and look differently.
But,love is all that matters,isn't it.?."

I always beeline to Stockmanns the moment I arrive. But I've never seen hoards of hopeful females outside waiting to meet foreign men. They're usually just waiting for the tram on their way home from work (God! Life can be so mundane!). So what makes you so difficult, then..? You're not a head-hunter by any chance, are you..? And why don't you come over to Stockholm for a visit instead..? It's the Venice of the North, you know... And I just so happen to know this wonderful little place who specialize in serving enticing morsels to the most difficult people...AND my mate lives in a gigantic villa overlooking the Skärgård with a panoramic view of the sea...AND my older brother here is the ONLY Englishman in the whole of Sweden who speaks FLUENT FINNISH! So there! But pleeeez don't expect me to speak THAT language...

Polarbutterfly: "Me..?Probably not as I am in a relationship."
Nice way to say I'm not making sense.
Yeah, love is all that matters.

You missed them, right infront that book shop, where they have those little trolleys selling beer in summer. That's where you'll find the italian men waiting. I didn't know, till an ex of mine told me ( we were sitting on one of those benches at the corner).
Now, about your language skills, you really don't want to speak IT?

I forgot to answer you, sorry.
I do visit Stockholm and prefer the crowd there. Sure, the men do dress a little gay, but they are hot. I also love the clubs there, and the shops, OMG! I could get really broke in a day, there.
So, do you use your friend's Villa to pick up swedish chicks?

Oh NO! I don't drink alcohol! That's me out the picture, then...ALL Finns drink themselves to death! BUT.....As it just so happens I do have a very nicely stashed away bottle of Chateau Cos D'Estournel simply awaiting your no doubt most exquisite of taste buds. Now, I've been saving this bottle for a very special occasion, and if it just so happens too that you do just so happen to grace this very ground of Stockholm with your no doubt most exquisitely enticing feet, THEN I might just so happen to open this said bottle of Chateau Cos D'Estournel for your own no doubt most delicate of palates...And as it just so happens that I'm now going off to sleep so that I might just so happen to fantasize of being........with the most sensual of all dark skinned temptresses, then feel free to leave a scent whereupon I may find you in the morning...(That's me trying to be poetic!) Now don't you go disappearing on me meanwhile....
lusciousmile: When it gets too cold, they pop over to Baarikärpänen.I have to warn you though, it's a little West Africa in there, meaning, all the Finnish girls in there either have an African ex or current boyfriend watching. It gets a little 'crazy' sometimes with all the fighting.
One of my best friends loves that ramshackle, where all her boyfriends are normally drinking together.
Still wondering why I spend a lot of time here?

Last mail...Yes, he went all the way to China NOT to bring back tea (as any self-respecting person would be expected to do) but to bring back a BRIDE! They've been together for some time now and I met her a few months back when she was here. And wait for this...She was 27 years old and had never been swimming once in her life! How strange this world is...In the summer here I LIVE in the clean and warm waters of the inland lakes. Anyway, dear temptress, I bid you goodnight,
Your Obedient Servant,
Denny X
PS Now DON'T go disappearing on me!

lusciousmile: My friend there is a party animal, and her father is an ambassador somewhere too, so I guess she won't be letting me come to a mischievous party, next to the Swiss ambassador's place. I guess I'll stick to a regular club in stockholm.
Is domestic distrubance common there?
Your friend went to China to hook up with a chick?
OMG!
