Swedish men are shy. Tell that to the girls I'm with, I often have a tendency of accelerating relationships even :) 2. It doesn't work for everyone, some stay away from drinking at all cause it either affects your head badly or harms your body. It's part of the culture(though) and often a beer is part of the dinner like the wine is in other countries, actually often it's wine you drink for dinner and many have started with wine. I thought most countries partied like rockstars in the weekends? 9. Silence is golden. I'll link you to a story I found yesterday which explains exactly why it's not solely negative: http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Value-Comfortable-Silence/1365191 1. Swedish men are shy.

My swedish girlfriend complains all the time...and not just about me!So i don't know how true this is. I'm English and have lived in Skåne for 2 years.I don't speak Swedish but i have Swedes come over to me to talk all the time,from little kids,to bikini clad hotties in the 18-30 age range,to old couples. What's my technique? Simple - i'm one of the very few people in Sweden who metal detect all the popular beaches down here! Swedes may be shy and reserved,but wander along a beach in headphones and waving a metal detector around..and all that vanishes as burning curiosity kicks in,lol. Sigh..if i were 20 years younger i'd run amok around here! :P They say Swedes don’t complain.Which is probably why,when returning clothing or whatever,they look at you as though you have 3 heads!
