On manhood. . دلع دلع آه دلعني

Dear women, there seems to be a very different concept of genders in this country.
If you were imagining Norwegian men to be more or less like Europeans (only wearing more jackets), forget it. If you like the romantic Italian guy carrying flowers, or the macho latino dancing salsa or the passionate Arab rolling hash for you, then you should not look for locals.  
In Norway the woman is the strongest in the couple. My Egyptian colleague says that he loves Norwegian women because they decide and control everything, so he likes not having any responsability in the couple. But my Austrian landlord claims that the 90% of foreign men married to Norwegian woman get divorced because after a while they feel completely dis-empowered.
You, woman, should be so strong that if you want to date someone, you have to ask for the phone number and inviting him to go out. And don't get disappointed if you get the door smashed in your face because the man who entered before you does not even think of holding the door for you. Or if the man who is talking with you, stares at the wall. (like the Muslim brothers!).Those innocent acts of courtesy might be intended as  flirting, actually.
At a concert an handsome guy starts talking to me offering me a beer. Mashaallah! That is a miracle! My fancy silk skirt looks sexy even here in Norway!!!? And he is even a painter, and teaches art to a disabled guy. And he made graffitis in Napoli Central Station. Half an hour talking together, for him is definitely enough to start hugging me and talking at 2cm from my lips. Sorry, not enough for me.  "I have to look for my friends, I'll be right back.", I say. But that sounds as such a bad refusal for him and he must feel so ashamed. When I'm back, he clearly avoides me and runs to the opposite side of the bar.

What is the solution, then? How people get marry and have children?
Drinking a lot, of course. 
But also, there is a social network, incredibly popular among Norwegians, where you can choose your favourite partner from his profile picture, interests or his favourite sexual toys (!!) and invite him to go out.(I received smart tips on how choosing your photo and write your profile description). 
Does it not remind you of the Gulf countries?(except for the sexual toys!)
With the difference that Arab guys can tell you poetry, and sing, and make you feel as a princess. But they don't have the opportunity to meet a girl personally.
Here: wonderful landscapes, white snow, the river, the desert islands, loads of bars...but very little romanticism.

لو ماكنتش انت تدلعني مين حيدلعني
مين حيدلعنيلو ماكنتش انت تمتعني مين حيمتعني
