- Hi Know-It-Alls! International Mens day was on Thursday, which got me thinking about Dutch men and what I like about them. There are lots of things to like about Dutch guys, but there are 5 things I LOVE!!
Some General Information:
Welcome to my channel, “Knowing the Netherlands.” My name is Brinn, Thanks for coming by!
I started this channel in order to help other newcomers to the Netherlands to avoid the mistakes I have made and to share my experiences as an expat living in the Netherlands so that people will have a chance to get to know more about the Netherlands. I am an American, and I have only lived in the Netherlands since March 1st, 2019, arriving here from Seoul, South Korea, so I am very new to the Netherlands. However, I have already learned a lot about the Netherlands although I know that I have only scratched the surface. I really hope sharing my journey about living in the Netherlands will help and entertain those near and far. I would love it if you joined me on this journey to getting to know the Netherlands. If you ever have any questions, please reach out to me through the TH-cam comments or on your favorite social media platforms. Below are my social media links and other TH-cam Channels:

Some additional Information about myself: As previously mentioned, I moved to the Netherlands from Seoul, South Korea, where I taught English for 3 years. So, this is not my first experience living abroad. While in Korea, I was constantly growing, learning, and adjusting to the Korean culture; I met my partner, Bret; and I had quite the experience when I was hit by a taxi while riding my bike, which led to leg surgery and a 6 week stay in the hospital. I actually moved to the Netherlands 2 weeks after I stopped using my crutches and still had trouble walking. The experiences I had in Korea and the hindsight I now have from them have really changed me as a person, and I am interested to see how the Netherlands will play a role in furthering my personal development, and I am excited to share it with y’all!

Your cat is adorable, and clearly loves you very much!
this cat is beautiful she loves you
Tubby does love me so much. I feel so lucky that he does. My partner says Tubby’s and my relationship is weird.
Your cat is freakn adorable 😍
Thanks for the shout out!
About the humour thing. I guess that is what we share with the English and Flemish. We love to poke at eachother (and have yourself poked at) in a witty way. The longer you know someone, the ruder it can get. In German they have a nice proverb for that: "Wass sich liebt, das neckt sich". Freely translated, those who love eachother, tease eachother. The risk is off course getting the timing wrong or going over the edge of the appropriate. Maybe that is what happened with your coworker? Then remember the first part of the German proverb!
And maybe because of that, we also don't have much of a macho culture. It is a bit frowned upon too take yourself too seriously. If you do something really well, be it in sports, business or whatever, you are supposed to stay "normal" and recieve applause with (faked?) modesty. You are certainly not supposed to beat yourself on the chest or, worse, flaunt your money around openly (which is even considered a bit vulgar). So succes has to be (or seem to be) "endured". We are a bit strange indeed, I realize as I type this down...
Keep up the good work, you made me think about a few things again!
I love that I can give ya a shout out! Thanks for being a know-it- all.
That’s a great German saying! I think the Germans have such a way with words. Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsche.
My coworker berates and demeans everyone. Rarely his nice side comes out, but when it does I can tell he has a great soul. Unfortunately, I think stress gets to him.
I think it’s good flaunting is frowned upon, but people still find a way to let everyone know what’s going on.
Omg the kitty is so cute 😊😍
Is the cat high, because the face touches were taking me out XD
I can 100% agree with you on this one. Maybe I have to cuz I'm a guy but still. Sarcasme is a great invention though, I'm kind of that a lot and lots of people I know as well. Love to see more of you!
I like when people agree 😉 it feels good to be right😝
@@knowingthenetherlands662 it should 😉 btw if your stil say witch people are new here, good luck pronouncing my name 😆 🤪
Ofcores we knew that lol nice vid
You certainly know
I really like your cat😎
Me too! Tubby is a wonder little boy. He's always nearby me. I feel very lucky, until he wants me to pick him up when I'm in the WC.
Do you have any pets?
@@knowingthenetherlands662 I have a tiny Queen in my Toko, she's a black cat. And sooo adorable😍
i married me my Dutch man :) i agree with you x
Me too me too!
Glad you agree!
“Hooman why are you talking? -tap tap-, your mouth is moving. I should try to catch your tongue. This is... odd. You need to pay all your attention to me.”
😂 That’s Tubby all day everyday.
As my experience of being an American female in the Netherlands is limited, you might even say 'non existent', I'll take your word for it.
😂I appreciate you taking my word on this topic.
I looked up if I was wrong about what 'Knowitall' means, appears that I wasn't... quote from interwebs:" Definition of know-it-all
: one who claims to know everything also : one who disdains advice."
Maybe that comes across a bit condescending to your audience? 🤔
It’s a playful name in this context. I am guessing most people get that because this is really the only time I’ve had someone think it’s condescending. I don’t know if you’ve watched many videos, but I’ve talked about the reason for the name.
@@knowingthenetherlands662 I may have missed that, and I am not a native English speakers, so what do I know. At first I even thought you said 'noodles', but that is probably also because I was hungry LOL. Well whatever, just ignore me at will, but I could imagine I am not the only one thinking and perhaps just the only one saying it....
Its simpel , if you start nice , you end nice . The dutch woman part is that the use to do there things by them selfs , and don’t ask for help at first ,. Most of them have a very independent attitude. Witch is normal to the north European woman.
I think there are women everywhere that do things for themselves and men do things for themselves here too. Men are warmer people here than women. So I don’t think doing things for yourself is the cause.
@@knowingthenetherlands662 its not the doing thing but the independent thing that make them more of there own , a part of that being “ warm “ is I think a opinion , and not a thing you can measure. And at last the relation / inter action between women and a women / men is also differently.
Its nice to look at your channel , so keep up your work.
I want that cat
Me too!!! So, unfortunately, I will not be giving you Tubby. Hope there's no hard feelings.
Haha you make the Dutch onzeker.
Are all people everywhere?
@@knowingthenetherlands662??
Oops, typo. I was meaning “aren’t people everywhere?”
A lot of the Dutch people (especially from western Netherlands), don't know the difference between direct and rude.
I think a lot of people everywhere don’t know the difference.
WEE WOO Generalization warning!
@@filthygreasepipe Yep. Unfortunately it's difficult to talk about the population of the world or a country without using generalizations.
@@filthygreasepipe Volendam zeker.
That, to this western Dutchman, seems rude.
I just feel like the cat as dutch, hon just shut up and love me. No need to tell others. Iove you is enough. Hear my purring. Honey stop this video!
😂 Tubby is a needy boy. My partner says it’s my fault for raising him that way.
@@knowingthenetherlands662 Tubby is telling you! Dont say it. Just keep it to yourself! I like you love us. Just don't spread it! Tubby was saying. Ssst mommy, ssst. Let this keep between us!
You are so sweet
Sarcasm is a sign of being smart
And not getting the sarcastic joke is odd for a smart person.
Dutch people are very tall though.
Netherlands land of the Giants lol
American friend is leaving the chat.... house....
I don’t understand
Haha, you have an American friend, and make a video that you love Dutch guys, so I hope he is not jealous. I know you said you did not date other guys. But it was a bit making fun of the title I guess. Apparently it passed you.
I gotcha! My boyfriend is certainly not jealous nor am I. We both know we aren’t easy people to live with so the fact we can cohabitate happily together during Covid makes us very secure in our relationship.
