Are they really as beautiful as the media has us believe? In this guide, we look at the myths of hooking up with a Swedish woman and give you some tips to improve your chances of success as well as couple of recommendations for spots to hit up.
In popular culture, Swedish women have gained a notorious reputation as being the pinnacle of sexy. The typical body shape is womanly with curvy hips, round thighs and a sturdy ass. Even when heading out to the city, the style can be a little utilitarian and casual at times. That said, clubs and weekends bring out the inner-urge for dressing up and you can definitely find women that buck this trend.
What is common with Swedish women is their confidence and self-assured character; perhaps this is what makes them one of the worlds sexiest breed of woman. As a gender-egalitarian society, women in Sweden enjoy a liberal and modern outlook to life and there is very little difference in how Swedes perceive male and female behaviour.
What we mean by this is that, unlike in other countries, where men having one night stands receive positive affirmation of this innately macho act, Swedish women are at liberty to behave the same way with no negative connotations. In short, Swedish women are just as up for a one night stand as men are because there is no social stigma attached to it. As for your competition in the guise of the Swedish man, they tend to be as friendly as the women and are usually quite welcoming of additional people on a night out.
They are certainly less territorial than French, Italian and English guys. Image via Flickr. This keeps the atmosphere safe and relaxed and provides a good backdrop for scoping out the singles and building up your game plan; from the initial overt flirt to the big guns. Be bold, take the initiative and just let her go with the flow. There are lots of bars, pubs and clubs around Stockholm and plenty of them have a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, the best areas in the city for nightlife are the old town of Gamla Stan, Stureplan and Medborgarplatsen in Sodermalm.
