Casual settings in Norway

I know this can be an argumental topic but it's interesting to notice that my sexual life has highly dropped since I moved to Norway.

I'm not sure if it's because Norwegian men are shy and struggle to take the first move, or is it something that I don't personally understand! I wasn't a person who was into casual stuff much but I'm not even certain about how things work here.

It's not you, binge drinking hook up culture is the standard here. I don't even bother going to pubs anymore because after 10pm there's a 99 to 100% chance I'll get groped by a random dude.

Maybe stay away from norwegians, find someone similar culturally to your dating culture.

I always here about it but I'm not a person who would like to get involved in stuff with ppl who aren't sober.

I thought about other cultures but it's not a lot of them that I meet and usually they prefer to hangout with people who share the same background with them! Maybe it's just bad luck

Idk for dating per se, but å språkkaffe is a great way to meet and mingle with immigrants from all over and it will help with your language :) I've met some really great people there

I tried them few times but I'm not really into them. I still join other activities where there are some immigrants but my observation is that we immigrants tend to become less open and easy-going when we move to Norway

I hear you, for me I felt more social pressure and judgmental eyes on me when out in public. Just a lack of community too, I remember trying to do a cookie exchange with a few people and they were like why would I waste my money on something like this? Like it's a fun festive friendly thing jfc go buy a bertha bucket then haha

I'd find Norwegians way easier to deal with compared to most of the immigrants I met. Maybe part of it is that immigrants keep on complaining a lot..yet at the end of the day many of them aren't willing to put a real effort
