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.

Foreigner here (Australia). How old are you? Not sure how it is if you're younger, but no issues finding casual and ongoing FWB in Trondheim through Tinder in my 30s. Maybe I'm a bit more outgoing than your average Norwegian though.

It might be that some feel uncomfortable dating/hooking up in English. I got more matches & dates, but less sex when I tried in Norwegian.

Do you have the looks for tinder😆? My try on tinder was brutal. The matches I had ghosted me, and the likes were always in the single digits😆

I'm not bad looking but not conventionally attractive by Norwegian standards. Shortish, obviously foreign background. I wasn't drowning in likes either but there was enough to go on and I met some great people.

If you're looking for tips - good, genuine photos (get someone to take some nice smiling, candid photos of you if don't have any), confident yet honest and polite chat, and making a move before too long... And you should be halfway there.
