Tubby does love me so much. I feel so lucky that he does. My partner says Tubby’s and my relationship is weird.

I noticed the friendly part. I visited The Netherlands for the first time, and I parked my rental car in a neighborhood. I had a lost look trying to figure out if I need to pay, how to pay, and for how long. A guy looked and smiled at me. I approached him and said, "sorry to bother you, but I'm not sure what to do here?". He was very helpful. I had the experience with females as well.

Thanks for the shout out! About the humour thing. I guess that is what we share with the English and Flemish. We love to poke at eachother (and have yourself poked at) in a witty way. The longer you know someone, the ruder it can get. In German they have a nice proverb for that: "Wass sich liebt, das neckt sich". Freely translated, those who love eachother, tease eachother. The risk is off course getting the timing wrong or going over the edge of the appropriate. Maybe that is what happened with your coworker? Then remember the first part of the German proverb! And maybe because of that, we also don't have much of a macho culture. It is a bit frowned upon too take yourself too seriously. If you do something really well, be it in sports, business or whatever, you are supposed to stay "normal" and recieve applause with (faked?) modesty. You are certainly not supposed to beat yourself on the chest or, worse, flaunt your money around openly (which is even considered a bit vulgar). So succes has to be (or seem to be) "endured". We are a bit strange indeed, I realize as I type this down... Keep up the good work, you made me think about a few things again!

I love that I can give ya a shout out! Thanks for being a know-it- all. That’s a great German saying! I think the Germans have such a way with words. Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsche. My coworker berates and demeans everyone. Rarely his nice side comes out, but when it does I can tell he has a great soul. Unfortunately, I think stress gets to him. I think it’s good flaunting is frowned upon, but people still find a way to let everyone know what’s going on.

I looked up if I was wrong about what 'Knowitall' means, appears that I wasn't... quote from interwebs:" Definition of know-it-all : one who claims to know everything also : one who disdains advice." Maybe that comes across a bit condescending to your audience? 🤔

It’s a playful name in this context. I am guessing most people get that because this is really the only time I’ve had someone think it’s condescending. I don’t know if you’ve watched many videos, but I’ve talked about the reason for the name.

Its simpel , if you start nice , you end nice . The dutch woman part is that the use to do there things by them selfs , and don’t ask for help at first ,. Most of them have a very independent attitude. Witch is normal to the north European woman.

I think there are women everywhere that do things for themselves and men do things for themselves here too. Men are warmer people here than women. So I don’t think doing things for yourself is the cause.

@@knowingthenetherlands662 its not the doing thing but the independent thing that make them more of there own , a part of that being “ warm “ is I think a opinion , and not a thing you can measure. And at last the relation / inter action between women and a women / men is also differently. Its nice to look at your channel , so keep up your work.
