How could you possibly interpret that phrase as creepy? What's creepy about it?
- surprisetalk 4y agoIn general, don't comment on people's appearance. It's obviously okay to have preferences, but it's safer to stay away from certain phrasings if you want people to feel safe around you.
- p1esk 4y agoIn general, don't comment on people's appearance. Ever heard of a concept of compliments? I've been praising appearance of beautiful people since I was a teenager - never once I encountered anyone who would get upset about it.
- nicbou 4y agoPeople want to be liked as individuals, not fetishised as members of a group.
- Handprint4469 4y agoHe's not saying he likes them _because_ they are Norwegian, but rather that in his experience he tends to be attracted to Norwegian women.
- nicbou 4y agoWhich would be fine if brought up among friends sharing a pint, and not as the second paragraph addressed to complete stranger. It's perceived as creepy because it's an odd way to bring up your interest in a country.
