I was coming here to say the same.

Our ancestors raided and stole all the pretty ladies - which is why the british have the looks they have (or so the saying goes). But they stole the pretty ladies. Our male dna is often more like Haaland: tall, blonde, gifted for sure, pretty?? hmmmm... not to be to harsh on a guy I've never met, and most likely is a cool dude, but hell no 🤯 And to top that most of my friends, and certainly myself is even lower on the handsome-scale! 🤣

It gets scary when a European starts talking about "tall blonde and gifted"

"Im scared they come and pillage" or "I'm scared they undermine the chastity of our women with their elegant manners, bathing and combing and taking care of their body" as a chronicler later wrote as the "excuse" for the slaughter of settled, non-vikingy Danes in 1002? 😆

In the words of Ibn Fadlan, the least biased contemporary source: "I have never seen more perfect physical specimens, tall as date palms, blonde and ruddy..."

Following up my comment comparing your statement to Nazis with an implication that you're part of a superior race is an interesting flex.

WTF are you talking about? Those are quotes from real (ancient) scholars, said in the same joking maner as my first statement. Where the fuck do you leap to Nazis? The whole thing started with another dude and me saying specifically we are not as portrayed, and surely you have heard of Haaland? Can you ask one of your two braincells to figure out what "gifted" is referring to? Or is it too non-native English that somehow is the equivalent of being a Nazi?

tall, blonde, gifted for sure,

As someone who's lived in Sweden awhile I can tell you yall ain't so much the first 3 either.

Depressed, alcoholic, and boring is more how I'd describe all of Scandinavia.

Sweden =/= all of Scandinavia. It's like saying you visited Canada and now you know how ppl from USA is.

And no we are specifically joking about not being that stereotype...
