Swedes don't date.
From what I hear, they meet each other with their groups of friends at parties. Then sometimes they will hook up - as in go back home together. After a few times of hooking up with the same person they might consider themselves to be in a relationship. (Any Swedes correct me if I'm wrong). Relationships are always kept ambivalent.
Swedes have no hangups talking about sex even with their parents. They are not hung up on nudity like the Americans.
(It is the extreme opposite of American dating system where everything is formal and direct as in "Would you like to go on a date with me?" And America is a country where topless sunbathing is banned in many States which has the odd effect of making America the breast enhancement and porn capital of the world. Because if you ban something, it makes people want to see it more.)
For Swedes lust comes before love.
The Scandinavians are some of the happiest peoples on Earth. Could this be why?
In Iceland, it is very normal to change husbands or wives. And they live in large families with children form different men. This being due to the old days when the Vikings used to go off to sea leaving the wives to dally with other men. But fairs fair because the Vikings got them some when they went off pillaging. Divorce is not frowned upon in Iceland because it is a normal thing and they are not Christians but believe in elves.
So should we be more like the Vikings? (Even though most people in UK have some Viking genes).
Put the internet to work for you.
