Do Dutch women like Canadian and American men?
My career provides the opportunity to work in Holland, and I must say I find Dutch women among the most attractive on Earth. Yes, I like tall, bit-boned women. But do they like North American men? If it is relevant to answering the question, I have dark hair and blue eyes, well-dressed, fit, and so forth, and I don't mind dating women who are over 6 feet tall, as I am very secure. Dank u!

Yes.

Why not...! I have met quite a few American and Canadian men from working in an International company, and the vast majority of them were living here because of being in a relationship with a Dutch girl, so you would be by no means the first to do so if you did find the woman of your dreams :0) Surprisingly enough, the Canadian guys I met were not really attractive physically (ok of course this is my opinion), but were amusing, intelligent and quick witted, which made them excellent company. This is pretty important in my opinion as beauty really is skin deep, and there is little point hanging off the arm of someone stunningly god looking but who can't have a decent conversation or doesn't know how to spell fun :0) So if you have the opportunity and you relish the chance of working abroad (a lot of people would kill for this by the way!), then I would say go for it P.S. - Whilst generally Dutch (men and women) are re-known for being tall, it is not the case that the majority of women are over 6ft, so don't worry about that.

That depends entirely on the man. At any rate, I think the cultural differences are probably small enough that you won't run into to many problems on that front. And pretty much all Dutch people speak English. Especially the younger generation. If you're working abroad, you're probably educated and enterprising. If you're a good guy you should have no more trouble then you do at home. Don't bank to much on your looks. They might give you an in, but in the end it'll depend on your personality.

Dutch women dont have a problem with canadian or US men. But one thing most dutch women dont like is ignorance. Unfortunately many US people can be quite ignorant when it comes to global issues. So as long as you dont think the US is the greatest and most correct nation in the world you would have a good chance with Dutch women. You dont say how tall you are, but most Dutch men are well over 6 feet tall, so if you are shorter than 5''10 some women might not be that interested straight away. Also, Dutch women like real, open and honoust men, modesty is appreciated as well. Dont pretend that you are 'all that', or women will think you are being dishonoust and are trying to overcompensate. 'Blingbling' doesnt get you very far with most dutch women. Unless you are looking for a fling with a 20yr old ;-) Most Dutch women are well educated and independent, they want men to be their equal in a relationship, they dont want or need to be rescued.

" Unfortunately many US people can be quite ignorant when it comes to global issues. "..what a load of stereotypical european elitism..in words you might understand...b****sh**. i challenge you to debate any topic regarding "global" issues
7 :
I can´t speak for all women in the Netherlands... but Dutch people are interested in other cultures... So, yes... there is a chance for you! Don´t put too much attention on that you are from North America... Many Dutch people think that North Americans are a bit arrogant, but if they know them personally there is no problem at all.

American working in Holland
American working in Holland?
Hey, this is probably a stupid question but I'm wondering..so I'll ask anyway. I know you need a visa to live in Holland for more than three months and all that.. But, say I wanted to move to Holland but don't have a job lined up yet..can I move there then find a job? What would be my chances of finding a job there? I don't speak Dutch but want to learn. Are my chance slim? It seems like they would be haha, but oh well.

you are gonna get a 4 paragraph answer from someone..but i will simplify it...simple answer is no...longest you can stay is 3 months period
2 :
Well I will try to give you more of an answer than just no, and heavens forbid that it might even involve more than just one paragraph, and even more than four ..... the horror of that eh Anyway there is a major hurdle for an American to move to the Netherlands and to work here Basically to move over here with the wish to live and work, then you would have to find an employer who would apply for a work permit on you behalf. That work permit would not be granted unless it was proven that the job is of such a specialist nature that no-one else in the total pool of labour from (not just the Netherlands but the) whole EEA area. Therefore even a University graduate with no work experience is going to struggle to meet the requirements even in with the right ecomony (ie loads of jobs and few applicants) You can read more about the details of it here in a question I answered a while ago for another American interested in the same. It gives links to the IND (Dutch immigration site), how to look for jobs and accommodation as well. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au4FSM_iOwVeAeSn5NGVt4fty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081029005645AAYhd63 (saving me retyping and also this turning out to be a very long answer!) As mentioned, you also have to take into account that the economy is having an effect on the EEA market and whilst the Netherlands is not (yet?) as badly affected as other EU countries such as Spain or the UK, of course the labour market in those countries are free to move to the Netherlands as well and jobs that don't require many qualifications/experience are easily filled by EEA passport holders. So read the link I gave you first, and then you can follow up with details on: http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/ - immigration dept wizard http://www.ind.nl/en/Images/4012_VIN_ENG_tcm6-595.pdf - immigration dept overview (brochure) http://www.netherlands-embassy.org/dutchmissions.asp - links to Dutch consolate details and a confirmation of what I stated also http://www.cgny.org/article.asp?articler… Another good source is the expat sites and you can check forums as well to see people who have "been there, done that" http://www.justlanded.com/english/Netherlands http://holland.angloinfo.com/ http://www.expatica.com/nl/main.html In short, you need highly specialist skills which are in demand to get you into the Netherlands (unless you have a proven relationship with a Dutch national) for living & working. Another route is to work for a company in the US which has branch offices in NL with the aim of being transferred based on in-house experience built up - but it also has to be said that this is becoming less common/needed these days as well Sorry if this sounds overly negative to someone who is genuinally interested, but it is better if you read and check in advance than to make a costly trip and be dissappointed at the end of it.
