How do Czech women treat their man of choice in relationships? I am curious about dating customs. Are they devoted to long term relationships? I have read the other post below about "courting" but I am curious about the Czech women, not men. Thank you so kindly! T
I see no one replied to you. I can't really tell you how czech women treat their men since I'm American living in America. However, I'm married to a czech man and I can tell you that he and his family have very strong traditional views about household chores. The men really think it is the woman's job. Therefore, for these views to be so strong, it seems to me the women over there must encourage it by keeping to those values. Perhaps I'm wrong but it's what I've seen.
Well, I will tell you my experience. First, not all Czech women are the same. But I dated a Czech girl fairly seriously for about nine months. We broke up. The experience left me puzzled, to say the least. She had dated a guy for five years before dating me. Apparently they fought a lot and she broke up with him before coming to America. I dated her, but of course being a student she had to return to the CR. We tried staying together, but it didn't end up working. I did my absolute best for this girl. I really did, she knows it, and for a long time I wanted to get back together. And she knows that, too. To be honest, I didn't (and still don't) understand her reasoning. I really don't want to sound like a braggart, but I loved her more than anything, and when a guy loves a girl (or vice versa), that's not something you take lightly--especially when you love that person back. That all said, I will likely spend a year in the CR teaching, mostly out of curiosity about their whole culture and why it is the way it is. I doubt that by the time I go there I will have any interest in seeing this girl again. I don't know that I would date another Czech girl. Not that her behavior was that awful, but I believe life is short and there's not a lot of time for game-playing and odd ideologies, and that seemed to be her entire world. I guess the best analogy I can think of is that they (Czech women) are like the little leaguer in right field who picks daisies during the game, and wonders why everyone is mad when the ball is hit in their direction and they didn't get up in time to catch it. It's not the best analogy, but I think it illustrates the point.
My advice? Ask Czech women that you know...if you know any. With all due respect to the previous poster's experience..one can generalize about all Czech women til the cows come home but in reality, not all Czech women are alike. If someone said to me they thought all American women were alike I would have to laugh - how can you compare me, someone born and raised in Texas with a woman born and raised in say, Vermont? Of course, there will be some similarities, but quite a few differences! Not to mention each person has their own unique qualities depending on which family they grew up in etc., etc.... (by the way, this is not a direct reply to the previous post - I'm speaking in general here..hehe...I'm speaking in general about not generalizing...hehe...uh, sorry, it's finals week - I'm a little loopy... )
I would just like to add that I agree with this poster--it's hard to generalize that all Czech women think in one way. My experiences with the several I knew all seemed to be similar (and maybe that's one reason why I generalized a little). But, that's one reason why I'm going to visit the CR--to actually learn more about Czech people!
