What are the Dutch really like?

Their English is flawless.

The have the most wonderful aroma down there, like freshly baked bread!

This guy nails it.

Girthy.

UK here.

I have been to the Netherlands many times, and have always found the locals to be very friendly, open and interested in what you are planning to see while you are there. I have had some great recommendations that are never listed in the tourist guides.

They're Calvinistically Spartan and matter-of-fact, largely, but somehow manage to keep an open-mindedness that is endearing.

Intact

Do Dutch guys have big dicks? That's all I care about.

Do they? Do they!

I’ve never had bad sex in Amsterdam.

Omg R3 that guy is fucking hilarious.

Especially the first video.

I love one of the comments on that video:

[quote] My mum is Dutch living in England and the amount of times she's been on a disciplinary at work for telling her coworkers the truth 😭. She's retired now so she can't get herself into any more trouble.

They are not rude. They are open and they can be generous with their time.

tall thin people are common as are hung men.

They have big cocks for sure.

I have had several over the years.

I worked for a Dutch company for ten years. I wouldn't call them rude. They're straight forward and don't suffer fools. They can see through American bullshit faster than anyone.

Tall

Dutch is the worst sounding language.

There’s a poster here who is OBSESSED with the Dutch. Be it our language, our crown princess, our food.. every couple of weeks she’ll trot out a post about us. Never about the Belgians, the Danes, the Luxembourgish..

He has a sock puppet for the Flemish and the Walloons.

Im Irish, and i often think Dutch guys are quite similar to the Irish. They arent too rigid and do have some charm about them. They are quite laidback and dont seem to have much prejudices.

Germans hate the Dutch and think they are pretty country (like the American North thinks the American south is pretty country)

Tolerant as much as accepting.

R20 huh?

Isn’t this a bit like asking, what are Americans like? Kind of a ridiculous question.

Tallest people in the world

They're the people who betrayed Anne Frank, right?

Her family fled their native Germany, after the Nazi takeover, and hid in some Amsterdam attic until they were ratted out by locals.

They’re also the people who hid Anne Frank, at risk of their lives, stupid.

Someone posted a video a while back by a fat American woman living in the Netherlands. She was scarfing down a large bag of popcorn with her little daughter in a movie theater when a stranger leans over to tell her she shouldn't be buying large sizes and that's why she's fat. She said pretty much everyone there finds a way to tell her she's fat.

I don't care if it's cultural, reminding someone they're fat when their little kid is there is brutal. I'm not fat though so I would visit. I think their bluntness is funny. The Russians are like that too.

My experience with Dutch scholars has been overwhelmingly positive, which I can't say for nearly any other European nationality. They are personally charming and intellectually rigorous.

My relatives on my mother's side are Dutch. and from my grandfather on down they sucked big time for various reasons. When I visited NL on my own as an adult I was pleasantly surprised.

The Dutch have Queen Maxima (Argentine really)...a woman who I'd love to party with! She and Wilhem Alexander look like a fun couple.

R23 you must be new here because DL's Boo Radley/Flyoverstan crowd constantly post such inane topics.

[quote]Their English is flawless.

I beg to differ. they are very willing to speak others' languages, but it doesn't make them good at it necessarily. Americans could take a page from their handbook about this, trying at least does seem to impress people

and yeah, R3, I does nail it. having lived there for over a decade the dutch are fundamentally "burgerlijk" - pretty much what this creator portrays

Don’t pick on Boo. He gave Jem and me two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives

It's fine if the Dutch are direct or blunt, but NOT if their opinion is unsolicited.

That crosses over to being rude.

Hunh, R20? Where did you hear that about Americans north of the Mason-Dixon? The opposite is actually true.

The Dutch are largely pragmatic. They are often very blunt, but astoundingly blind to their, what are often major, flaws. I knew a Dutch woman, converted to islam and was basically the slave of her Moroccan husband who sat home all day smoking pot and watching TV for years.

They take nasty and rude and turn it into an art form something they call being direct. They are the morons that created a one time sex and drug fantasy playground then spent decades complaining that people flocked to their sex and drug playground.

Wow, that takes me back. I was at Grey Area on 9/11.

R38 maybe so but I bet you could not find an open seat to sit at?

[quote]Tallest people in the world

I went to a funeral for the patriarch of a Dutch-American family earlier this week. They were all giants, even the women. At 6', I felt like a midget.

The Dutch are the folks that led the way as far as open public legal MJ sales then will bore you to absolute tears trying to explain that MJ sales were never legal in the NL just tolerated despite the coffeeshops being licensed to sell.

The Dutch also created a massive red light distract full of decades worth of sex sex sex sex but no STDs being passed. Magic you ask? No common fucking sense.

When I was young I met a gentle young dutch artist at the Mauritshuis then had a 4 week affair with him in The Hague, which was a lovely town. Beautiful shore with relaxing beaches. I like middle-class places in rich European countries. The very rich and the very poor fuck up the ambiance.

What are you saying here exactly R41?

[quote] The Dutch also created a massive red light distract full of decades worth of sex sex sex sex but no STDs being passed. Magic you ask? No common fucking sense.

One of my best friend is Dutch. He is tall, direct, cheap and has a big cock. He is typical. He has lovely manners and is always the brightest light in any room. One day I am going to the Netherlands with him. I am short, fat, Southern, spend money like it's going out of style and have a small cock. So I will certainly not blend in.

R43 I am saying that lots and lots of sex happens in one of the 3 Amsterdam red light districts but STDs are a non issue.

Those gals insist on fucking condoms. You want a hand job they will likely be using a glove. You want a BJ you will be wearing a condom. They unlike many but they understand that STDs can easily be prevented.

R45 ok but how is that not common sense. Isn’t protection common sense?

R27 I actually would find this entertaining.

[quote] Never about Belgians . . .

But who are the Belgians really?

You mean the Flemish and the Walloons. And if you asked about them it would only cause confusion.

German people like to say that Dutch sounds just like German except a German that would be spoken with a hot potato in one's mouth.

Tony Geary of General Hospital fame likes it there.

Dutch men are so hot to me. I love large, tall men and the idea that they're hung as well.....well, if I ever visit Amsterdam I may never return.

dull in bed, no imagination and no fun. I think of the line from Samantha jones, "well, a blow job is called a job after all"

ROFL R49.

Dutch truly is an ugly language. Horrible!

Interestingly, Afrikaans is a form of Dutch, and it sounds very nice.

The Walloon hatred on this site MUST STOP.

Holy fuck, the guy representing the Dutch language at r53 is a fucking TEN.

Visit West Michigan where they say, “If it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much.”

r53, very typical sounding and looking dutch guy

Afrikaans sounds much better than Dutch.

Cunts.

I stuck my finger in a dyke.

i like tulips and windmills, but I don' think those wooden shoes are very sexy.

[quote]Cunts

It takes one to know one :p

r55 agree. Hot as fuck.

I do like the "Easy" language videos. I watch the Easy German ones as I am trying to learn German and like that they use language in an everyday format.

R46 the lack of this ( ,) no doubt confused you as it was missing. The no was a reference to it not being magic not to a lack of common sense.

My bad it was not written at all clearly

R58 except for all the racial epitaphs…

Epithets**

Nashville Afrikaans?! Now I’ve seen some bullshit in my day…

Walloon hate? But we adore Hercule Poirot!

He was Flemish but on the down low.

Is there a porn site for Dutch men?

There’s the highland Dutch, and the lowland Dutch, the goddamn Dutch…and the Irish!

They just fucking love those tulips

The Dutch love black people

Yeah, pull that Black Pete shit in my town and see what happens…

No one cares what happens in your town in Amsterdam Black Pete gets a fucking parade.

R74

More open bigotry—it’s free!

They're too direct to the point of being abrasive, I don't like interacting with them. And they're too focused on making money, a bit like Americans. Also, their language sounds like a joke.

The Dutch are just liberal Germans. The men are mostly bottoms. The language is hilarious. I've been there a few times and had a Dutch boyfriend who was tortured and bossy; yet he had a beautiful ass.

Speed skaters!

Their canals are there to lure in and kill drunk tourists who just wanted to take a pee.

R20 as a Dutchman living in Germany, I can say you are full of shit.

That goes for many uninformed posters on here.

The men are not very hirsute. Copious body hair is very rare.

I don't think that's true, R82.

I've seen many with lots of body hair, but it's just that their hair is lighter and finer, and so it blends in with their skin tone.

It's there, but you just don't see it.

Jesse from Amsterdam on 90 Day Fiance is an example.

On the show, he has very hairy arms and legs and chest.

I think that's true of a lot of Northern Europeans.

Apparently they enjoy farts.

British Comedy sketch of "Air Afrikaans."

Haha it's hilarious, and I'm getting the impression that Dutch Afrikaaner people are not very nice.

HA!

I listened to 2 minutes of the video at r53, and my Alexa thought my dog was barking and began playing the "Calm My Dog" program/music.

They're straightforward and won't spare your feelings - they'll get their point across. Blunt, let's say. You know where you stand. They're active. They love biking and pot and weird shit. They eat a lot healthier than most Americans do. The men are quite attractive, in their youth.

I talked to a nude Dutch man at Haulover Beach. He had sandy blond hair and looked like a Dutch speed skater. His cock was pendulous, his balls were like walnuts and his sandy blond bush was big and dense. I had never seen such a large blond bush. I wanted my fingers to get lost in it.

[quote]They're straightforward and won't spare your feelings - they'll get their point across. Blunt, let's say.

I have a Dutch friend who's kinda like that. And I kinda like that.

Amsterdam is a great city.

They have ginormous schlongs.

R90 learn to play the game here…

R71 tells a joke like your mother.

It’s

“There’s the Amsterdam Dutch, and the Rotterdam Dutch, and all the other damn Dutch.”

No—my quote from the California Drinking Song is accurate. You’re quoting some other version.

It’s a city of first class world famous theaters like the B-1

You’re quoting something not even remotely funny, r94.

Just stop. It is a well-known uni song with multiple variations. Playing the the prick on this warm day—do better.

It’s even mentioned in James Joyce’s novels. Get a grip and chill.

They’re a lot like the English only without the passive aggressive politeness.

[Quote] It’s even mentioned in James Joyce’s novels. Get a grip and chill.

I got a grip. It’s as funny as leukemia. Period.

Go away. Rest in peace.

More ginormous schlongs please!

[quote]I got a grip. It’s as funny as leukemia. Period.

For you, R100:

Dutch treats are secret code for anal in 2024

Dutch Americans can be really snotty, clannish and very religious.

The Reformed types—that’s well known.

Reformed into bitchhood.

Eat an almond...chew it really well before you swallow it!

I had a brief fling with a half Dutch/ half Surinamese guy. He was gorgeous, spoke five languages, and was utterly charming. He wrecked my hole for all time. That’s the kind of holiday romance I expect now.

For supposedly rational, direct,intelligent and no nonsense people, they've certainly let their elected officials fuck up their country, as has happened across Europe.

Dutchie's patience with this thread is commendable.

By the way, r25 is the moron who said, in the Spacey thread,

[Quote]What did he do to that was so horrible?

[Quote]Hit on younger guys?

[Quote] When did DL become puritanical prudes?

… and asked, in the “Gay men brutally hunted by knife-wielding group at Dublin's Phoenix Park” thread,

[Quote]Is this in Ireland?

My half Dutch/half Surinamese fuckbuddy in Geneva was blindingly handsome and cripplingly horse hung. It was finally de trop.

R113 Photos please

The Haus Frau Gestapo has arrived at R112.

And look at you Gestapo-ing right back. It doesn't make you any less of a cont. Fucking hypocrite.

In the Netherlands all seems to breathe freedom and peace and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils.

No, R116, not really.

Geert Wilders

That this is even a question tells you what the Dutch are really like.

R25 Yep.

I never found the Germans to think the Dutch were country. Now the East Frisians on the otherhand…

They are super tall and good-looking.

Two of the nicest people I've ever had the privilege to call my friends were Dutch.

The most obnoxious person I've ever met is French, but you would think they were Dutch or German to look at them. I doubt other French people are as obnoxious as that person.

Personality disorders overrule nationalities when it comes to people skills.

Nigel Powers hates the Dutch.

Well, I guess they're good for something. Apparently, they only took down a thousand accounts, but it's already made a huge difference on various social media sites.

This same agency watched the DNC hack live back in 2016 and alerted the US authorities to it.

They sound like Germans with a worse cold.

Their accents sound like a half measure of a South African accent.
