In Sweden, surrounded by Swedish men (generally utterly pathetic, when it comes to women) - can confirm, lol…
There’s something to be said for “new world” bravado and such. Northern European women are just like, “Wait, a man who actually starts a conversation..? That… Doesn’t happen!”
Side note: “bravado” is so foreign to Swedes, in the 21st century, that it’s remarkably easy to bluff, and to use that to your advantage…
Not that I do anything bad with it, but it sometimes gets me free shit, or otherwise gets me into “sold out” or “closed” events, ha.
Because they just don’t do that kind of shit (i.e. having the confidence to balls-it through), so they’re so thoroughly unused to it, and sometimes seem to even like that approach, when I do it.

Can’t complain about that one, tbh.
