The Dutch don’t strike me as particularly happy people. They seem as grim and negative as all the other western Europeans.
I have a Dutch half-brother who’s one of the biggest complainers I know. Despite the freedoms he enjoys, all he can do is bitch about how horrible everything is.
Quite the rational, well thought out response. My Dutch half brother always complains, therefor all western Europeans are grim and negative.
I’ve lived in the Netherlands and several regions of the US and can say from my experience that the Dutch are no more grim or bitchy than people in the US. They do constantly complain about the weather, but their weather is worthy of complaint (sort of like Seattle only colder).
