Is Swedish a competive advantage - for women?
In the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, the Swedish star Malin Ã…kerman states that “Boys love me because I am Swedish!” And, hmm, well, I am sure there are a hundred reasons for boys to love Malin. But Swedish? Cmon!
I thought that whole “Swedish sin” thing was over ages ago. And if it is, then why should anybody love her because she is Swedish?
Just look at what I found a cute, wonderful blog today that summarizes what Europeans think of each other.
The Scandinavians — Widely respected by most other Europeans, because of their high standard of living …and blond hair and blue eyes. However, within Scandinavia there are some persistent stereotypes. The Norwegians, Danes and Finns all think the Swedes are stupid and uptight. Norwegians are considered racist. Danes are considered more blunt than the others, maybe a bit more cranky, and the Finns are oddly introverted, even by Scandinavian standards. Except for the Danes really disliking Germans, and Finns really disliking Russians, they don’t really have anything against other Europeans.
So, as you see, Swedes are really stupid and uptight - I could even throw in stingy - so why should they have any competitive advantage what so ever?
The odd piece of information, strange facts, comments on news, ranting and rambling. Kicks and licks. Fun, irony and sarcasm, often, though, with some serious intention.
I live and have lived in Europe and the US. I like both.
I’m nekkid, so no need to undress me. Don't bite me. I much prefer stroking.
