I have never ever encountered a finn or norwegian that hate sweden, not on the net either.

Hell, my girlfriend is fresh from Helsinki, she loves swedes.

And a norwegian woman my sister know likes swedes too, and have swedish boyfriend.

But as we've said earlier, it might be different between men and women

On holiday resort norwegians and swedes always seem to find each other in the hotel restaurant and in the pool, getting along well, like they meet a fellow countryman. There has been antipathy towards the swedish elite in norway but that's all.

From swedes side, I'd say swedes like Denmark more than Norway (due to better politics there for instance and denmark being a path to the continental Europe), and Norway more than Finland. Few swedes have actually been in Finland, apart from on cheep weekend cruises, finland feels more distant than norway. I wouldn't call finns brothers since they are from different language group.

To be honest, on the net I've seen more swedes hating finns than the other way around.

OP Gothic is a good damn rookie, sad to see threads like this here.

Guys in Norway used to complain about swedish guest-workers "stealing their women".

I also remember a documentary about integration (named Welcome almost everyone) where a swedish tv reporter were on the streets in Oslo and asked a norwegian guy about what he thought about those swedes living there, he said
"as long as they don't take our women it's great"

.

Same have Spaniards said about Italians I've heard.
