Rude Swedes are not an oxymoron

26, May 2008

Yes it seems strange to call Swedes rude but it is true when certain conditions are met. Condition one: In a bar. People will push throw the crowds without ever uttering the words förlåt (sorry). Even if you are lucky to find a place with a table to put your drink down, you can bet [...]

Americanisms in dating…Of wingmen and pilots

11, Apr 2008

I’ve been trying to come up with something to post about this week and life hasn’t been exciting. I thought however we would revisit Þorbjörn, the little swede I met in the US. We had a discussion about meeting someone in a bar in Sweden versus the US. Here are the conversations (edited to make [...]

The Swedish Male Look

31, Mar 2008

I met a little swede a few months ago while I was still living in the US and for the one time in my life, I made a move on him. He was already living in the states for the past eight months but, that really doesn’t change swedish ways; especially male swedish mating ways. [...]

Feminism, Sexism, and Lingerie

22, Jan 2008

Hairy Swede wrote a great commentary on feminism and sexism in Sweden a few days ago. I thought I would you point you all to his post as well as my comment- expanded below. When I lived in France, there would be topless women in billboard advertisements. Sexist? Well, maybe because the company was selling [...]

Online Dating…Part 3

16, Dec 2007

Okay! I officially switched networks to Stockholm and put up a photo a few days ago. Sadly, that has not stopped weird Spanish speaking people from “winking” at me…Maybe I signed up for the Match.espana instead of sverige? haha. And, let’s not forget the 40-60 year old males winking. Ewwwww… But! Some profile observations on [...]

Dating in Sweden…Need Your Help

29, Oct 2007

I was checking out my blog stats today and noticed the original Dating in Sweden post was the most popular. Now I am guessing that post does not enlighten those of us who are currently confused because I am confused too. I propose that if there are any Swedes (male or female) willing to take [...]

Man riskerar mycket vid en eventuell förlust

25, Oct 2007

There I was, eating chocolate and loving it. Selling some too. I was getting paid to eat exquisite chocolate. You know, that chocolate that costs upwards of $70 a pound (okay some of them are $40…more reasonable). And I felt lovely. Then I felt like someone was clipping my wings and I wanted to scream. [...]

So I’m back [...]

What we do in Sweden during the winter

16, Sep 2007

The very kind gentleman I was staying with explained what the Swedes do doing the winter. I thought, that I and everyone else on Earth already knew of Swedish winter pastimes. Dead wrong we were. What do the Swedes “do” in the winter season to pass time? Invent things. Yes, build stuff. What do they [...]

What I learned in 40 hours in Stockholm, Sweden

16, Sep 2007

I went to Sweden for the first time on September 1st and stayed for a mere 40 hours (why so short? that’s another story). I feel love in though: the people, the country, the city, the progressive ideals, and the T-banan (a functioning metro system) made me feel “home.” Well, everything except feminism gone insane [...]
