I ask Swedes on the streets of Gothenburg on what they think is the most true and least true stereotype about Sweden. Are Swedes really rich? Are Swedes as happy as they say? Are Swedes reserved and unfriendly?

As an Asian extrovert: who the hell approaches people at bus stops?!

I have been to Sweden. I liked going places and not being constantly approached as you do in america. Swedish are very respectful of other peoples time and space

Swedes are also generally honest! I lost my wallet three times (don’t ask why ;) in central Stockholm the last 15 years. Every single time, I have been contacted by private persons that found it, contacted me, met up and gave me the wallet back, credit cards, driving license and cash still there 😊

They say "we aren't blonde" and mostly i saw is blonde hair 😂 , they say "we aren't introvert" and mostly said they don't like to talk especially with strangers 😂 , they say "we aren't tall" when the "shortest" guy i saw is probably 5'11 / 180-181 cms 😂

I met a group of swedish people when travelling and working as a nanny. They took me into their fold, were great fun and very warm. I really appreciated them.

I’m Brazilian, dating a Swedish guy… and it’s very difficult for him to show emotion, feelings! And for me now, is a bit hard because I’m very emotional person!

As a Swede I’d say this is pretty spot on!

I love Sweden. I was lucky enough to live there for a couple of years. The people are beautiful, respectful, smart and welcoming. Everyone can pick shit through their own culture if they want. I'd take the traits I mentioned in a society if it meant having to deal with a bit of shyness and coldness at times. You rock Sverige!

I worked for Ericsson for 6 years. That's true about avoiding conflict

@zoltanhorvath7454 2 years ago

It sounds like i have lots of common things with the Swedish people in general.
I don't like talking much, Don't socialise much, keep it for myself, cold personality, i have got the height and look as well.
I wonder if i had any Swedish ancestors or not, being a Hungarian guy...🤔

A lot of stereotypes, that we altso like to exaggerate.. about others.. "not me especialy, but moste other swedes"!
As a swede one supose to know social norms.. how to behave as a swede, (as a nice person)!
And our dating cultur (for single adults) can be realy awkward, best is if everything is "lagom", half drunk at a half good establisment, both can escape if a missmatch.. or end up in a bed later if there is some attraction!
