This is the first thing that surprises foreigners. The Danes, in general, are incredibly punctual and always follow the established rules in a disciplined manner. If it is forbidden to cross the street, then not a single local resident will set foot on the road, even if there are no cars or bicycles.
2. Cycling

The Danes love to ride bicycles. In business suits or fashionable dresses and high heels, alone or with children, heading to work or school, they get on their bikes. In Copenhagen, 50% of people use this mode of transport every day. There are more bicycles here than people.

Do you think they care about the environment? Almost guessed. But bicycles are also preferred, because this is the fastest and easiest way to get around the city.
3. Lack of social niceties

"Please". "Sorry". "Thank you". These are not the most popular words in Denmark. Most likely, you will not hear them, and you are unlikely to have to use them. The Danes are polite and respectful, but don't be surprised if you walk into a bar and hear, "Give me a beer." They say that the polite addresses we are accustomed to in their language are simply absent.

4. Alcohol

Beer has been part of Danish culture for over 5,000 years. There are currently over 100 breweries in Denmark. Drinking this drink usually starts at the age of 14. Non-drinkers find it difficult to stay sober in a country where almost everyone drinks beer. Alcohol is available from school parties and is not a problem as long as the drinkers are in control.

5. Danish flag

The Danes call their flag Dannebrog (Dannebrog in Danish). You can see it everywhere in the country: it can flutter from flagpoles installed on buildings, in gardens, or even on birthday cakes. The Danish flag is an important symbol for most Danes. It expresses love and affection for his country.

6. Danes love licorice

From savory foods to sweets, the Danes have all sorts of liquorice foods. Lollipops, ice cream, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, meat dishes, pastries - everything with licorice can only be found here. After visiting the Licorice Festival, you will understand why they are so drawn to licorice. (Do you like licorice?)

7. Equality

Danish culture is characterized by values such as equality, consensus, trust, autonomy and the ability to balance family life and work. Among other things, foreigners are shocked by the daily routine and their manner of communicating with each other. They seem to be rude to each other.

8. Privacy

The Danes value their privacy highly, so they don’t automatically say “Hi, how are you?” when you meet. And it's not at all a lack of friendliness, they just don't want to invade your privacy. Ambition, aspirations, political and religious views - better keep it all to yourself. Surprise visits? No, don't (please).
9. Babies

Do not panic if you see a child sleeping in his stroller on the street. This is normal in Denmark. Whether it's raining or snowing, kids in Denmark can sleep outside as long as they're dressed for the weather. In addition, parents can leave their babies at the entrance to a store or cafe. No one is worried that someone will steal the child.

10. The Danes have their own sense of joy.

The Danes have "Hygge". This word does not have an exact translation, but it means a warm, vague feeling, a feeling of friendship. It's like being surrounded by the people you love, enjoying beer and having fun surrounded by lots of candles.
Hello, this is Ludmila Saunina and the channel Denmark with Liudmila Saunina.
The topic of today's conversation will be about Danes men.
Do Danes men differ from Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians? Yes, they are different. But maybe not so much externally as mentality. However, outwardly, for the most part, the Danes are very tall, very stately; blue-eyed, fair-haired, red-haired - well, such a bright nation of the Vikings. And today, of course, the Danes are a peace-loving people; helmets or helmets are worn only by cyclists, or - as they are called here - cyklist (syuklist), motorcyclists, those who drive scooters; there are no masks and helmets for other purposes.
Today Denmark is a country of modesty and moderation. And this is partly a testament to the Danish sense of social responsibility. The education of personal responsibility begins at an early age. Children, in general, are told about a bear cub, a duckling, who regularly encounter problems when there is a confrontation between the personal and the public. And in this way, children are taught responsibility.
As for the attitude of men towards women, it is completely different. They treat women like... you know, if we take the division of labor in the family into male and female, there is no such thing in Denmark. I think that there is no such thing in all of Scandinavia, but let's talk specifically about Denmark: there is no concept of male and female work. Moreover, I will tell you that in 99% of cases you will see men walking with strollers on the streets.
Since Denmark is a running and cycling country, there are special bikes equipped with child seats with fastened hoods (like in a stroller). If a man loves cycling, then be sure that he will push this stroller with a special mount in front of him, and if he loves to run, then when running, he will push the stroller in front of him in the same way. And this is the norm here.
In addition, for men it is not a problem to change diapers for babies, cook dinner for them, cook lunch; washing, vacuuming - this is the norm here. For me, this was a revelation, it was somehow not like that; I always thought: “Why does a man want to do my job?” And I remember that I was even offended when I came home, and the man was standing in the kitchen, and I thought: “Oh my God, he thinks that I am a bad housewife!” In fact, time passes, and you understand that here the attitude to life is different: here they value a woman and value work.
As for one more point and nuance ... By the way, if we talk about the language barrier, then in Denmark you will not encounter this problem, because almost all men speak English fluently. In general, the riddle is solved very simply: why the entire population of Denmark speaks English. Do you know why? All the films that are shown on TV are broadcast in their original language, that is, they are American films, as a rule, and the Danish translation to them is allowed as subtitles. Therefore, children from early childhood absorb the correct English speech, and thus unobtrusively people develop two languages.
I have already said that the Danes are tall, they are well built; take care of themselves, as a rule, go in for sports, go to gyms. I do not know a single man in my environment who does not go in for sports. Someone goes to the gym, someone runs - every day, and it doesn’t matter what the weather is: rain, just a downpour, I don’t know, frost, hail - they still run. Well, nature doesn't have bad weather, if only Denmark didn't know about it.
God did not think for a very long time about the appearance of the Danes (he was more interested in Italians, Spaniards and Irina Shayk). He created half of them simply by cloning Rooney Mara, and the other half fit the genes of Tilda Swindon.
With Danish men, the Creator completely profiled the top manager of a Russian company in the best examples before the audit. Having spent all the time in the jacuzzi of the oceans, smelling of ambrosia cocktails, a minute before the project was completed, he drew an image of a fair-haired tall and broad-shouldered bearded man with blue eyes and threw it onto the conveyor.
So, at least, it can be judged by all samples of the Danish football team in all world tournaments. Especially the one in 1992, who also skipped all the training on the beaches and suddenly foolishly won the European Championship. Everyone remembers the dark dyed nape and native blond bangs in the amount of eleven bollards in a row. Well, Laudrup, yes. These were the exception, these were the angels that the Creator gave to Denmark, apologizing for past mistakes.
Of course, I would like to think so, but we all understand that in spite of the current globalization and total incest, all this is a terrible stereotype. Sometimes you can't tell a Dane from a Spaniard, and some quite French people are actually Chechens and Mordovians at the same time and have an apartment in Grozny and Saransk.
7. Well, I gathered as many of these stereotypes during my trip to Denmark, no less than shrimp in the Copenhagen fish market.
Stereotype one. The closer to the northern lights, to the formidable hammer of Thor and the lightning of Odin, the more often fans of the vocal-instrumental ensemble Hammerfall and other musicians in the genre of all shades of Heavy metal meet on the streets. Literally every eleventh Laudrup wears torn black T-shirts, leather jackets, tight-fitting leather pants and lace-up boots. True, there is one less stereotype: Scandinavian metalheads prefer a beard to traditional long patlas to the shoulders.
Sweden is located on the northern peninsula of Scandinavia. It is inhabited by the Swedes, whose appearance leads many to a state of delight. And there is very real evidence for this assertion. The appearance of male Swedes is considered the most attractive among representatives of other nationalities. Don't believe? Meanwhile, in 2012, the international company Travelers Digest compiled a rating of countries where the most beautiful representatives of the strong half of humanity live. The Swedes were among the first.
The appearance of a man: a description of national features
Scandinavians are Caucasian. Therefore, the appearance of the Swedes differs little from that of the British, Germans, Slavs, and so on. They have a straight straight nose, medium-sized ears, lips and eyes. Growth is usually slightly above average. But quite tall people are often found, because it was from Scandinavia that the very Vikings were, about whom legends still circulate.
But it is worth pointing out the national features that distinguish the Swedes. These people usually have fair skin. The appearance of the Swedes is also characterized by blond hair and blue or gray eyes, like most northerners.
Today it is difficult to talk about the purity of the nation. Even if the metric indicates "Swede", there is no guarantee that the genotype is fully consistent with what is written. Perhaps my mother was Swedish by passport, and my father was a native of the United States. And my mother took her nationality thanks to her dad, who was only 25% Swedish. Therefore, all reflections on what the Swedes look like in the modern world are only conclusions drawn from subjective impressions.
Handsome... Maybe he's Swedish?
Most women consider representatives of the strong half of humanity, whose passports contain the entry "Swede", very attractive. Some even take the blame, stating that a third of all men could become world-famous by becoming models. Why are Swedes so attractive to ladies?
The appearance of a man of this nationality is quite average. Most of them are blond or fair-haired with greenish, blue or gray eyes. If we compare their average height with the parameters of representatives of other nationalities, then it will have a slightly larger value. And statistically, tall blondes rank higher in women's perception of male beauty.
But not only inborn traits attract the Swedes. The appearance of a man directly depends on grooming, physical fitness. So, the Swedes pay special attention to her. Almost everyone goes in for sports, has a pumped up slender body. Of course, among them there are flabby and untidy people. But this is rather an exception. Therefore, Swedish men are so attractive in the eyes of women.
Which was given above, almost always corresponds to fashion trends. Most of them have a stylish hairstyle, wear branded clothes and shoes. Although one should not be surprised to see among the Swedes young people in ordinary clothes, but quite attractive. Neatness and neatness in appearance is an integral national trait.
Swedish Prince Carl Philip
This internationally recognized handsome man does not have a typical appearance at all. The Swedes, as we have already mentioned, are usually represented as fair-haired handsome men. He is far from blond and not even blond. However, this did not prevent him from being included by Forbes magazine in 2008 in the list of the twenty most enviable young brides and grooms with royal blood in their veins.
Fine aristocratic facial features, a beautiful proud posture and a truly royal stature - well, how can one doubt his belonging to the highest society?
Markus Hellner
Many Swedes have made careers in sports. So is Markus Hellner. In the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games he was the relay champion. In 2010, Markus also won the skiathlon title. And at the 2014 Olympics, he was awarded only a silver medal for this type.
It is clear that many women's hearts fell at the feet of the athlete. But it cannot be said that this handsome man has a typical appearance of the Swedes. He has curly brown hair with a reddish tint and hazel eyes. Perhaps it is the reddishness that is the highlight in his appearance, which so attracts the eyes to him. Or his athletic build, which is also important.
Henrik Lundqvist
The hockey goalkeeper has such charm that only because of this, the Swedes should already be proud of him. Appearance - the photo perfectly conveys his charm and attracts the eyes of ladies of different ages - this athlete can be called the standard of male beauty.
It is not surprising that the goalkeeper "lit up" as an actor. His incredibly sexy clip advertising Head & Shoulders shampoo is known all over the world.
Dolph (Hans) Lundgren
This representative of the strong half of humanity is rightfully proud of everyone in Sweden - both ladies and male Swedes. Appearance (photo published below) Lundgren is the most typical for this nationality. The tall blond is only five centimeters short of two meters. His build can only be envied. Since childhood, Dolph has been engaged in contact wrestling. The athlete achieved special achievements in karate and bodybuilding.
Beauty and intelligence, according to most, rarely belong to one person. This incredible case takes place when it comes to Lundgren. After completing his service in the Marine Corps with the rank of corporal, Dolph entered the Stockholm Royal Institute of Technology, which he successfully graduated with a bachelor's degree.
A career in cinema was not long in coming. A world-class sex symbol is not only a famous actor, but also a producer, screenwriter and film director. He will turn 60 in November 2017. But this does not prevent him to this day from remaining one of the most attractive men in the world, excite the imagination of ladies and appear to them in erotic dreams.
Peter Stormare
The track record of the famous actor is quite long. After eleven years at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, he became a film star, starting his career in this field in 1982 with a small role in Fanny and Alexander. Then the real glory awaited him. In 1996, Stormare played a criminal element in the Coen brothers' film Fargo.
An interesting fact of the film biography is his role as Russian cosmonaut Lev Andropov in the film "Armageddon". This once again indicates that the national features of the Swedes practically do not differ from those of Russians and other representatives of the Caucasoid race.
Alexander Skarsgård
First, Alexander's father, a veteran in cinematography Stellan Skarsgård, earned fame. And not only in the acting field. His second remarkable feature is the subtle aristocratic beauty that he endowed with his offspring. Each of his sons is a real sex symbol due to his physique and two meters tall, blue eyes, beautiful blond hair, regular features and charm. Yes, here they are - real "purebred" Swedes! The appearance of the photo can convey, but the inner beauty, fortitude, confidence and calmness?
Interesting can be called the fact that the first success came to Alexander with the tiny role of an idiot fashion model. It was the comedy "Model Male", where appearance and sex appeal, the attractiveness of appearance and a slender figure played a special role, that made the handsome Skarsgård popular.
Are all Swedes beautiful and slim?
If it seems to someone that exceptionally slender and lean people with regular features live in Sweden, then they should be referred to the famous one of the main characters of the tale is Carlson. And his appearance is not at all a demonstration of those true national features of the male appearance, which were mentioned above.
Carlson is not tall, quite well-fed, even pot-bellied. After reviewing the illustrations for the work, drawn by the Swedish artist Ilun Wikland, we can conclude that the face of a little man with a propeller was not distinguished by beauty in the sense in which contemporaries used to understand it. A fleshy large nose, a sagging chin, a large head of irregular shape - this is how the illustrator depicts the character.
Without belittling the merits of most of the masculine, one can nevertheless draw certain conclusions. Not all Swedish men have a natural beauty of the face and a slender figure. And men in the country are also judged not only by external data. After all, almost all the people of the world are impressed by the funny and funny Carlson, who was so masterfully described by Astrid Lindgren and painted by Ilun Wikland. Although handsome in the prime of his life, except for Carlson himself, no one considered him.
The famous Swede, who can hardly be called a beauty
The same tale destroys the belief in the postulate that all representatives of the weaker sex, born in Sweden, are charming and slender. Miss Hildur Bock inherited, perhaps, only one national feature of the Swedes. She is tall. But its heaviness negates the attractiveness of the figure. A double or even triple chin, small, deep-set eyes can hardly be attributed to features that cause admiration among others.
In the story there is a mention of the appearance of the sister Hildur Bok - Frida. The apartment thief Fille, who tried to seduce the old maid, humorously pays her a compliment about the “nose”, which is good in any weather. So this character is not particularly attractive.
Like all writers, Astrid has the right to fiction. But most often the descriptions themselves are given by the authors in accordance with what they see around them. That is, the writer would not invent ugly sisters and an absurd fat man, if it were impossible to meet people in something outwardly similar to them in the country.
But still...
Scandinavian beauty Elsa Hosk
Northern girls of the Caucasian race have always attracted attention with their tenderness and charm. Swedes can be proud of many beauties. The appearance of the girl, the description of which corresponds to the attached photograph, is typically Swedish: huge blue eyes, a chiseled nose, blond hair. Of course, they slightly tint, but only the hairs themselves. “A minimum of cosmetics! Elegance and natural charm! ”, - this is how the Swedes formulate their attitude to the female appearance.
The appearance of the girl - the top model - is truly beautiful. And the reason is not only in the magnificent face. Her figure is perfect too! With a height of one hundred and seventy-five and a half centimeters, she has a chest circumference of seventy-nine, a waist of fifty-six, and a hips of eighty-nine centimeters.
Ann Margaret is an American star born in Sweden.
This is another typical Swede, in whose appearance all the main national features can be traced. Ann Margaret at the age of five was taken to the United States, where she made her career as a singer, dancer and actress.
But despite the fact that she became a naturalized American, the Swedes can rightly be proud of her. The appearance of the girl, whose photo can be seen above, helped her play the role of Cinderella in The Tenth Kingdom in 2000, Della Monroe in Marilyn Monroe. Of course, in addition to beauty and attractiveness, her diligence, talent and self-confidence play a huge role. But if she had not been so charming and graceful by nature, she would hardly have been able to achieve such success.
Maud Adams
Having twice played the role of a beautiful blonde in the movie, she gained real fame. Although the main role in her achievements is played, of course, by talent. But not the last place is, according to the Swedes, appearance. Pictures from the films "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Octopussy", which took a lot of time between filming, prove that years do not always age - sometimes they turn a beautiful girl into a gorgeous extravagant lady. The appearance of a Swedish woman, even in adulthood, is distinguished by well-groomed, refined taste in clothes and make-up, sporty figure.
Martha Thoren
Luxurious light-eyed brown-haired woman, a native of Stockholm, was also an actress. Despite the fact that her life was so short, she managed to leave her bright mark on the world. Thirty wonderful films in which you can enjoy the magnificent performance of the brilliant Swedish beauty - this is the legacy that Martha Thoren has bestowed on people.
Helena Mattson
Another charming actress whose appearance is hard not to admire. The blue-eyed blonde began her career in the modeling business. Then she entered the theater school, for which she had to move to London.
Helena's career as an artist can hardly be called very successful. Some of her roles, if not a failure, did not win universal recognition. Critics were not always kind and generous to the work of the diva. But not a single bad word can be said about Mattson's beauty.
Greta Garbo
One of the greatest stars of cinematography of the first half of the twentieth century - Greta Lovisa Gustafsson (she became Garbo later) - most people remember from her wonderful films. In 1954, she was awarded an Oscar. Greta received this award for her outstanding contribution to the development of cinematic art.
The fate of the beauty was not the best. At the age of thirteen, the girl lost her father and was forced to earn extra money, first at a hairdresser's, then at a department store. But the proverb about beauty and happiness in relation to the charmer failed. Not being happy, Greta shone with beauty even in such a modest position. And she was noticed. At first she posed for advertising in front of the camera, then - in front of the movie camera. And then she was invited to the shooting of the film.
Swedish Princess Madeleine
This representative of the royal dynasty is famous not only for her pedigree. Many people consider her the standard of female beauty and attractiveness.
Madeleine Teresia Amelia Josephine really captivates with her regular features, soft skin, lovely blond hair, which create such an amazing contrast with expressive brown eyes.
Anita Ekberg
The stunning blonde who played Federico Fellini in the sensational films of her time, her fans remember to this day. It was "Boccaccio-70" and "Sweet Life" that became important milestones in the creative life of the actress.
Although there were still dizzying ups in the fate of Anita. True, they were associated not so much with her creative career as with beauty. In 1951, she became the winner in her country's beauty contest. And because she had the honor to represent Sweden at the international contest "Miss Universe-1951".
Camille Sparv
This universally recognized beauty is known throughout the world for her role in the film McKenna's Gold.
Perhaps the fact that this film in the Soviet box office took fourth place among foreign films in terms of box office receipts is the merit of a fair-haired beauty with a magnificent figure.
Briefly about the main
Of course, the beauty given to man by nature is a great gift. But the ability to properly use it, cherish it, make it serve for the benefit of humanity is an even more valuable gift that everyone cultivates within himself.
Being ugly in youth is bittersweet. But being ugly in adulthood is a shame. Because beauty is not always just the right features, tall stature and long legs. If a person does not take care of himself, does not go in for sports, does not follow a diet, abuses alcohol, nicotine or even drugs, by adulthood he can easily lose everything that nature has awarded him in his youth. And vice versa, with the help of the right lifestyle, taste, and the ability to follow fashion trends without excessive fanaticism, you can correct or hide some of the flaws in appearance.
Speaking about the Swedes, experts just emphasize this peculiarity of theirs. Even quite mature people, for the most part, go in for sports, have no problems with being overweight, dress discreetly, but fashionably and tastefully.
Planning to marry a citizen Denmark? Then this article is especially for you. So, let's start this amazing story about the country, the men of Denmark and a lot friend interesting.
In a beautiful kingdom...
Denmark is the southernmost country of all Scandinavian states. Denmark has amazing nature, the beauty of which does not fit into the traditional canons, but penetrates in the heart forever, giving rise to admiration and sincere feelings.
In this country the sandy coasts are changing winding fjords, beech forests that look into lakes transparent as tears. Not even Copenhagen causes feelings of the metropolis, it is not the representative center of the country. Copenhagen is a place to live. In this country there are a lot of good things, but there are no mountains. Most of the land territory is plains, which lie on the Jutland Peninsula a hundred meters below sea level.
Denmark is a state of ancient Viking fortresses with the involuntary names Fyrkat, Trelleborg, Aggersborg and others.
In Helsingor there is a castle that I chose Shakespeare for the place of his tragedy. Theatrical performances take place here every year.
In a unique cathedral Roskilde rest dynasty kings of Denmark.
In this country, local citizens with great pleasure celebrate such holidays as Christmas, the birthday of Queen Margaret II and Easter.
By the way, in the country the royal power is not fake. Here the queen herself appoints the government, she has the right to dismiss prime minister-minister or dissolve parliament. She is also the head of the church (state), as well as the commander in chief of the armed forces. Every four years, local citizens elect a parliament under the supervision of the monarch.
Danish men are incredibly intelligent and gallant - respect and admiration for a woman is brought up in them from childhood. No, when you get out of the car, they most likely won’t give you a hand and they won’t let you through the door ahead - equality is equality, here European feminists have tried. But don't immediately label the Danes as ungallant men. Some men are great at giving compliments and showing gallantry in small things, but in serious things you can’t expect actions from them.
But in everyday life, the Dane will surround you with care and even guardianship, especially if you are younger than him. In the morning you will wake up from the sounds of washing dishes, they will bring you coffee in bed, prepare breakfast, let you soak in bed. And they will turn on the news channel at your request, even if the remote control is closer to you. Well, you can just ask him to give you a hand when you get out of the car, explaining unobtrusively that it would be nice for you. Believe me, in front of you is a knight without fear and reproach, you don’t need to remind him of this, his main goal is to please you! So if you marry a Dane, you won't regret it. More than a wife, a Dane can only love children - as a rule, Danish men are just extremely caring and gentle fathers.
Equal responsibilities. As a rule, in the Danish family there is no division into women's and non-women's work. A Scandinavian, and in particular, a Danish man will cook dinner with pleasure, and not scrambled eggs and pasta, but lasagna with some delicious salad, uncork a bottle of Italian wine, create the necessary atmosphere at home or take you to dinner in a restaurant, he knows a lot about it ! By the way, this also applies to household chores. Cleaning the apartment, washing dishes, shopping for groceries - all this is a common thing for a Danish man. About which they speak with pride and irony.
In Scandinavia, you can often meet a tall, handsome man with muscles and tattoos, carrying a baby carriage or waiting for a child, peacefully playing in the playground. What another man would call a woman's business has long become a habit for northern Europeans. And therefore, in Scandinavian families, the upbringing of offspring occurs harmoniously and fully, because both father and mother take the most active part in it.
Fantasy and initiative. There is a myth that Danish men are boring. It is not true! They are thoughtful and calm. But at the same time - incredible dreamers and inventors, they love to surprise and please their partner with pleasant surprises. Yes, like any other man, the Dane does not like scandals. But, unlike ours, Danish men willingly discuss family problems, even start such conversations themselves, so as not to aggravate the problem, not to let the conflict take its course - maybe it will resolve itself. They are well aware that they themselves may subsequently suffer ...
Surprisingly, the descendants of the Vikings are quite ... timid, and may not immediately take the initiative in relationships. But on the other hand, you can afford to be the first to talk about the desire to live together or confess your love to him if you feel that he will reciprocate. If you are also shy, you can directly tell the man about it. Then, knowing about this trait of your character, he, again, because of the desire to please you, will take on the role of “first violin”. All men, regardless of nationality, do not understand hints! This is how their brain works, because they are logic, and we are emotions. Therefore, some things can and should be said directly. Including about their feelings and desires. Thus, many misunderstandings in life together can be avoided.
Finance. Scandinavian men are generous, but they know how to count money and they see a gold digger from afar. Be honest! The first rule: you should not look into the wallet and find out about its income. Over time, when you become closer, he will share this information with you. The very fact that you met and met indicates that a man earns normally for his country. Since he apparently came to get to know you with further intentions of marriage or a serious relationship, he takes into account that you will not be given a fiancé visa if he does not have a certain monthly income. Believe me, he has already calculated everything a few steps ahead. For our ladies, this is unusual, but only at the beginning. Then you yourself will understand that it is this approach that leads to healthy relationships and the implementation of plans, for which you will thank your loved one later.
Children. With pleasure! The Danish population is aging, like the whole of Scandinavia, and offspring, healthy and beautiful, is the dream of every man and every family. For a Dane, the birth of a child is a big event. And the newly-made father almost completely takes care of him. Of course, we are not talking about breastfeeding. But changing diapers, spoon feeding, going out for a walk with a stroller is not a burden, but a real Viking privilege that they bring to life with pride. By the way, Danish children are surprisingly quiet. Never scream, never cry.
The kingdom has the most favorable environmental situation of all European countries, so most women who are going to get married in Denmark dream of giving birth to a baby here. Transparent mirrors of the purest lakes, dense beech forests, sandy coasts surround small Danish cities, creating a feeling of unity with nature. Even the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, does not look like a typical smoky metropolis - rather a cozy place for a measured family life.
If a woman has her own child, do not be afraid. It would never occur to a Dane to divide children into friends and foes - he will love him like his own kids.
Approach to life and travel. The attitude of the Scandinavians to what is happening is very light, while not devoid of philosophical depth, which is especially pleasing to the Russian soul. In the Dane's opinion, life should be an orderly process, everyone should finish school, go to college, study, work, build an adult life, start a family. The system teaches them such a responsible approach to life. Residents of Denmark both rent housing and buy their own - usually on credit. Interest rates are about 2% today, some talk about the possibility of falling rates to one percent. After the recession, the Danes began to take fewer loans, and therefore banks are happy with every client. In addition, the state system of economy and finance exists for the sake of the person, and not just for the sake of profit.
Scandinavians travel a lot and willingly. Fortunately, they have four holidays a year: Easter week (varies), autumn holidays (mid-October), summer annual vacation (three weeks of any summer month) and, of course, Christmas holidays (about two weeks).
Language. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are similar to Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian. Representatives of all three nations understand each other perfectly. If you know English or German, then you will be able to learn Danish much faster, because the construction and logic of the language is quite understandable. But in the cities there are numerous language courses, plus the language environment is the best "hotbed" of linguistic knowledge. You can now learn the first word: elskede (elskede) - beloved!
State flag, freedom and laws
Modern men of this country perfectly combine two qualities (mutually exclusive): law-abiding and freedom-loving. The Danes value personal freedom and the freedom of others, as well as state values that govern public life in general. A local man will be outraged if he is forced to read a book that everyone reads, but he unconditionally pay all taxes and fees, and also completed the entire period of service in the army.
If you want to become the wife of a local citizen, then you need to get used to a slightly wild sight: there will be flutter state flag. If you live in the city, then your husband will hang a flagpole near the entrance.
Is it possible to marry a poor Danish citizen? No, you won't succeed!
In this country, there are laconic, modest men, but at the same time they are very temperamental. All actions are evaluated by utility: initially for society, then for the family, and in the last place - for oneself. Everything happens exactly the same way and nothing else. All citizens who have reached working age work in the state. This has been happening since ancient times, when work was the key to survival, both for the country as a whole and for everyone person separately.
But at present Denmark- This is one of the most developed countries, not only in Europe, but of the entire planet.
A woman who marries a Dane need not worry that her husband will be poor, even if he talks about it.
Danish citizen allowed acquire a “foreign” family only if he is 24 years old, he works in a permanent place, and also has an income not lower than the required level. Note that the unemployment benefit here is such that it Can live together, there will be no problems with a cozy life and interesting pastime.
As far as I remember from the directive on the right of citizens of the union and their family members to move around the EU, if one of the EU citizens wants to live in another EU country for more than 3 months, you need to apply for registration to the magistrate.
A Dane husband is a real gift of fate
A typical Dane is a decent and hardworking person who is attentive to the one he loves. In addition, he is tolerant applies to all. Dane is master reasonable compromises, an intellectual and, of course, a gentleman.
Local men are narcissistic, proud, but very indulgent.
Local citizens consider their society, country and, of course, character to be the pinnacle of perfection. Oddly enough, but precisely because of this, with Dane can be easily dealt with. Citizen this country will never take offense at you for a mistake, but only smile, and also take upbringing his wife from a foreign country in the national spirit of Denmark.
If you become the wife of a Dane, then you will need to lead a sports and healthy lifestyle, take part in environmental protection (celebrate religious holidays and sort household waste, etc.). All these activities are very enjoyable. Note that the husband will gladly share the cares of the house, the upbringing of children, and he will also relax with you, take you to dinner to restaurants or cafes, introduce you to your friends.
A secret mistress and drinking late - such thoughts will not come to the mind of a local citizen. Note that in this country the sale of alcohol is carried out free, they drink here, but less than, for example, in Norway and Sweden.
In Denmark, family does not equal marriage
If you want to marry citizen Denmark, then you need to know that with great love for children and family comfort, they attach very little importance to official marriage. In this country the highest divorce rate in Europe, and almost greatest the number of couples who live together without registration. The concept of "illegitimate child", which is known in the Russian Federation, is not here and, in principle, cannot be. All children are surrounded by the attention of both the state and parents. In college, no one will ask a neighbor if his parents are married.
Have you ever seen at wedding ceremonies you can meet baby angels of about seven years old who carry the train of a wedding dress? If not, then know that they actually exist in real life. There is nothing unusual in this country. By the way, if you marry a Dane, divorce him after the baby is born, and then legally marry again, most likely the child will have two mothers and two fathers who will take care of him with almost the same diligence! Socially secure women, families and children in the country are heaven on earth. Here they do not know what a paid maternity hospital is, since they do not need such services.
The state provides complete, high-quality medical care all future parents and young mommy. In this country, maternity leave is given for 14 weeks, and both parents can get it. By the way, they are paid 90% of monthly salary. Any child up to sixteen years receives an allowance in the right amount for a full-fledged upbringing. Every elderly person has a pension, even if he has not worked for a second in the country officially.
"Hygge" and "Janteloven" are keys to the character of a Danish man
If you want to finally understand a man from Denmark whom you plan to marry, then you need to learn two concepts. They are components of the main value of a citizen of the country. Janteloven is the moral code of the citizen. The local Janteloven clearly states that every a person is a person who is very important for societies, in the country all People are equal, the greatest pleasure is to do things together. And Hygge is comfort, although special: spiritual comfort, which is achieved not in solitude, but during communication, and not essence important: in a friendly company, family or team.
Now you know how you will be treated husband, if, of course, he is a true Dane, that is, not only by documents, but also by blood and spirit!
