I was binging on your channel, I have seen the Swedish episode with Varpoo as I’ve seen her channel. She’s a burst of sunshine. But I’m watching the Iceland one. When it came to intimacy I remember when I was at university one of my biggest fears was navigating my reserved value to sex vs someone from a different country and their views. I can tell you for a fact I would not go on dates because the fear superseded my ability to feel comfortable to say no. Listening to the Finnish lady you are talking to makes me feel like yah just be you. If you don’t want to but want to get to know him a bit more then it’s ok. Of course 28 yrs later I’m happily married to my German husband who was the most patient person I could imagine. He wanted me and all that can wait it will come in time. We spent lots of time together and getting to know him, his intentions and his ways really helped relax me a lot. I’m Indian and while my up bringing woukd say no sex before marriage that was not going to be my way. So that was not that I was saving my self it’s just I needed to know this guy before my heart was consumed.
I've been to Iceland four times over the years, another planned in July 2024. I've never dated an Icelandic woman purely because every visit I have made my wife of 50 years was along for the trip. I remember the original video regarding the meeting in the street, we are now Kviðsystir, Eskimo/Stomach sisters. To be honest chance would have been a fine thing at my age anyway. I'm sure they are not desperate enough to want to date an old guy like me. Having said that enjoyed all my (our) trips there and find the Icelandic people friendly. Cheers from the UK.
Very interesting conversation! I remember visiting Iceland in 2022 and the video you and Hrafna made about dating in Iceland connected me to Hrafna’s TH-cam channel and from there I just basically fell in love with Iceland as a country. I should thank you and Hrafna for sharing great information in such an authentic and fun way that it captivated me, and I’m sure many others! And if you do go to Iceland again, make more videos please! 😊 I miss Iceland as well! ❤️🇮🇸
I visiting Iceland 2 times, be honest this country is in another world in other side of portal gate, such lovely nature lovely people , this is my wish to living there, I'm the big fan of cloudy weather and the clean air, and the people is super warm and friendly
Thank you Marina for talking to Hrafna about dating in Iceland. This chat is very insightful. I like your dating Icelandic women video a while ago! I hope that you could talk to Charlot who was in your dating Norwegian women video. Thanks again!
ahm, hello? I expect from everyone with a bit of historical and cultural knowledge that it is immediately recognized that names like JohnSON, Mendelsohn, JefferSON, EricSON/erikson, HarriSON, AnderSON, PeterSON, GustavSON, GarriSON etc. are not just typical for Iceland but this 'SON of ' was a thing in big parts of Europe (also exist in other cultural spheres). Even without any knowledge when she brought up the example of 'John' and 'Son' everyone with a bit of pattern recognition should have had recognized that! You have also in Spanish often much longer name chains related to relatives and btw, that first and family/surname schema also evolved over time by adding to ONE name a kind of nickname association like Henry (comes from Heinrich/Hendrick) from the Mill - Henry Miller ... Adam Smith ... Taylor ... Baker ... ChurcHILL... Eisenhower (Iron Worker) ...
Regarding the trend-following and group-compliance thing: I remember visiting Norway and all young people were wearing this one hat. Sheep was the word that came to mind. Regarding relatedness: 3rd cousins share less than 1% of DNA, so it's really a non-issue.
The law in iceland is that one spouse is not a descendant of the other and that the spouse may not be a sibling. Icelandic people are nearly all 6th cousin or smaller. But from 2nd cousin on its really not a genetic issues.
Icelandic people are nice and giving. US and Canadian people could learn some lessons. And why would the interviewer suggest Latin men would try to get a woman drunk?
I don't wanna partisapton in that debate I follow rules of God's holly book and tell in which relatives with you can make your relationship and which with not and evey religions has own para matters but everything bound with rules otherwise no difference between Wilds beasts and humans

Exactly! I can't understand people who want to live in a hot climate. Temperatures of +30° is a nightmare for me.
@decollector95 well, in a dry climate 30° turned out to be ok. Even feels like a fresh wind blowing through the windows in the evening.

Icelandic people are on a different level and their lifestyle is most interesting.
Do Icelandic women really approach first? Is that real or urban legend? My mind is not taking that
Regarding the trend-following and group-compliance thing: I remember visiting Norway and all young people were wearing this one hat. Sheep was the word that came to mind. Regarding relatedness: 3rd cousins share less than 1% of DNA, so it's really a non-issue.
I don't think you understand if you're immediate thought is that the people are sheep.
Iceland inhabitants climbing over 400,000 by year-end. In 1968 it was only half of that😉

What they say it’s not true be careful! The worst vacation I had in my life it’s not welcoming place and the people they are not friendly
