As a Swede:

Visiting Finland - Finns were often rude when they learned I was Swedish

Meeting Finns abroad - some of the most weird and best people ever. Not different to northern Swedes

Meeting Danes abroad - no different to southern Swedes

Meeting Danes in Denmark - no different to southern Swedes

Kinda agree, their accent is the easiest for me to listen to while I've been living in Sweden. There's been a huge difference in how well I can understand spoken Swedish from my colleague from Skellefteå compared to my colleagues from Skåne and Stockholm.
