no

my parents have been married for 29 years and theres wasnt been any divorces in my family

Yes, 68% of my parents' marriage got divorced while I was growing up

Netherlands
Kinda, my parents got divorced but I still saw both of them about the same amount, my dad became a bit distant sometimes though because he was disappointed that I didn't have any friends but we're good now.

Is right about your country? I'm dating a Portuguese girl (not just PT diaspora, she's from Óbidos and moved here a while after graduating from Coimbra) and I'm a tad reluctant since you guys might be a divorce prone people.

>he was disappointed that I didn't have any friends
Is that actually a thing? When I was friendless my parents just felt kinda bad for me, maybe frustrated when I had trouble bringing myself to make an effort but they were mostly working with me on it.

kek, your father is a fucking cunt

Our women are extremely spoiled, not to mention brown and semitic-like in their looks. You lose.

My dad just wanted a normalfag son. Now that I've taught myself how to be somewhat sociable he's a lot nicer.
Nah he just didn't understand how to deal with my autism, I still respect him.

>Also, I'd bet you that most places with high divorce rates are due to serial divorcers.
this. plus this map is bullshit as any stats dont track married couples but just compare marraiges and divorces count within some period of time.

meh, most Portuguese I know have germanic facial features/hair textures, just usually darker hair and eyes. I find Portuguese women quite attractive tbqh.

How exactly are your women spoiled? The only group where I've noticed that are Slavs who immigrated to the US in 1990s onward.

>meh, most Portuguese I know have germanic facial features/hair textures
Yes hello João how's the weather there?

Nope

wut. I'm not even Portuguese American. But my friend in Lisbon told me he saw a guy who looked exactly like me the other day, even though my heritage is mostly German.

If you ever set foot here you will see maybe 50% of the population doesn't pass as a Levantine Arab, and that's all I'm going to say.

I'm going over there in August desu. And levanite arabs aren't even that dark, I've known some Lebanese who could have passed as any non slav european.

my father leave my mother when she was pregnant with me for a other woman, i never meet him and he never wanted to see me either.

In comes the m**r.

How's the weather down south, Anacleto Al-Portugali?

What brings you here? You have me wondering, since sheep-shagging isn't very commonplace here.

That guy is a south-dwelling arab, disregard him. The north of the country contrasts the south by a huge proportion when skin tone is concerned.

I've told you, I'm white, I'm even from the North.

But I am brutally honest about this country when I'm not memeing about it on purpose.

>I'm going over there in August desu
When you find yourself surrounded by 50% of people who could pass as arabs you will see what I mean.

My girlfriend's father and sister are gingers, and they're from the central region (though her surname has origins in Braga and Aveiro).

Shit weather, apparently. My parents wanted to visit iberia and I'm really disinterested in Spain. Lisbon is a top notch city though and your cuisine is truly excellent. 9/10 would recommend.

Are you that butthurt nortenho from the other day who got approached in English in Lisbon?

Why are you even getting married if you're just going to divorce?

No, he is though.

It really is a top notch city, it's also a massive sinkhole of money and useless public investment though, no one is perfect.

L*sbon.

Check out the north if you ever get the chance. Braga, Porto and Guimarães, primarily.

If you come to Braga. my hometown, be sure to check out the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro, Bom Jesus and Avenida da Liberdade/Campo da Vinha.

No, I am not. I haven't been in Lisbon since last September.

I've seen arab exchange students here next to our locals, and trust me - there's a HUGE difference.

My old school used to take in a bunch of turks every year, and they all looked distinctively different. I noticed that the very first day they came, and I'm pretty used to seeing those tugas whose skin is darker than usual even during the winter.

During the summer though, it's granted - most of us look brown as fuck. Hell, even now I have a pretty significant tan, and this comes from like a week of sunlight exposure. The way a tan coats our bodies in this turd-like brown makes us look as dark as arabs (some, not all), but the difference in our skin tone when it's tanned and when it's not is abysmal. My tan is pretty light right now and the difference between my arms' skin tone (my upper limbs are tanned, unlike the rest of my body, since I wore mostly shirts in the past week) and my shoulders' skin color is huge.

Hell, last year I rarely took my shoes off and walked around wearing shorts most of the time. Needless to say, my feet were super pale while my legs were brown as fuck. HUGE difference.

You must think I'm some portuguese from the South trying to troll you, but for the trillionth time, I'm from the North, I'm even ""white"" white, and you're absolutely full of shit.

50% of people in this country could pass as Levantine arabs, When I'm abroad and I see a crowd of portuguese or spaniards I can instantly tell them apart. This shouldn't be possible but it is.

Also, I've been to Braga many times, and you're exaggerating a lot the difference between us in the North and them in the South, we are almost exactly the same, except they manage to be richer than us (you know, things that actually are important), while being slightly darker, so talk about irony.

And if you couldn't tell by now I obviously loathe the fact I was born in this cesspool of a country, which has managed to blow away it's entire wealth and now lags behind Poland which was under gommie rule not long ago.

What a fucking failed state.

Fuck off.

Hehe.

Portucucks and Spainlets are so salty on Sup Forums because they didn't have a dad.

kek and they have aids too

>t.

No, we love our glourious masters

Netherlands no

I get a feeling you've never seen an actual arab in your life.

Are you just memeing away with the "dark skin = arab"? The difference goes well beyond skin color. Obviously, we could pass as "levantine arabs" to anyone who's never seen one in real life. I can tell you this, as I've seen a good deal of arabs/anatolians (the turks who came to my school were from eastern turkey, so I am guessing they must've been kurds, people whose ethnic make-up is generally considered to be closer to that of an arab than your average anatolian turk).

As for the richness of the south: do you really think it comes to me as a surprise that the southern regions, with booming tourism and the country's most valuable good (cork) is richer than the north? Centralization is a huge issue in this country, and that's a damn shame.

Also, are you forgetting that we were under a fascist dictatorship not very long ago as well? In contrast with the communist regimes, ours didn't subsidize education for the general populace, which led to today's uneducated "old" folk. On top of that, shortly after the communist coup took place, a good chunk of portuguese gold seemingly disappeared.

I don't loathe having been born here. I loathe sharing breathing space with the absolute scum who's been stealing this country and its people for the past forty years. That and the passive attitude the people has towards anything that isn't football. Hopefully that will change with the younger generations.

Corruption is a rampant issue in Portugal, and its addressing has been long overdue. Our people are idiotic and unwavering in their generalized laziness and unwillingness to act in defiance of their blatant robbery.

The bulk of the current political class has to be purged. The reins of Portugal have long been longing for a true patriot - one willing to act, not in accordance to his own needs, but those of his people.

This is a picture of Turks in Istanbul, which I'd say would correspond to at least the darkest 50% of Portugal. In fact you can hardly find me one guy that would look "off" here. Full of shit, again.

>As for the richness of the south: do you really think it comes to me as a surprise that the southern regions, with booming tourism and the country's most valuable good (cork) is richer than the north?
Excuses, I stray a couple of kilometres from my city and see things that might fit better in Bulgaria than Western Europe.

One more reason to loathe this shithole. Spain was a fascist dictatorshit too you know, and they're much better off.

>I don't loathe having been born here. I loathe sharing breathing space with the absolute scum who's been stealing this country and its people for the past forty years.
You see, that "scum" is the mirror of the people as we say here. That scum is the mirror of the country, you get what you deserve.

>Corruption is a rampant issue in Portugal, and its addressing has been long overdue. Our people are idiotic and unwavering in their generalized laziness and unwillingness to act in defiance of their blatant robbery.
>Reasons not to loathe this shithole

> The reins of Portugal have long been longing for a true patriot - one willing to act, not in accordance to his own needs, but those of his people.
And finaly this, this collectivist backwards mentality, the need to have a hero to save your ass instead of working it off, the need to have rampant nationalism to get the lazy people off it's ass, projecting our own faults and failures to act, is what truly disgusts the most.

pic related, literally the first I googled

No, i had a pretty comfy life growing up

I specifically told you that the turks I came across originated from the eastern part of the country, which is denser in people whose ethnicity is much closer to being arabian than anatolian. You posted a picture of people from Istanbul. Where has our education failed you, for you to have posted a picture from the single westernmost turkish metropolis?

And even so you can clearly tell that some of the people in that picture look distinctively different than your average portuguese person, without basing your judgement on fucking skin color. I don't know what exactly it is you're missing to not spot this, so I'm going out on a limb and guessing you have a /slight/ hindrance in your pattern recognition.

>Spain was a fascist dictatorship too, you know

You're only assessing the common denominator there. We've had a consistent stream of garbage at the reins of the country for so very long, and it really shows; just look at how we've applied our foreign funding. We have the best road infrastructure in Europe and, according to the World Economic Forum, the second best in the world. Now, tell me, why did we need this? Why did our leaders willingly sink billions into building highways, most of them having served nothing but tumbleweed since their construction?

While Portugal was dumping its wealth into fucking roads, the spaniards were making much more senseful investments.

What "collectivist backwards mentality," by the way? The very fact that you're calling such a figure a "hero" is pretty comical. We've grown so disaccustomed to proper leadership that you've seen fit to shroud the very idea in fantasy and heroism. It really isn't that odd, and I don't mean we need "another Salazar," just someone who's not a retarded baby boomer with a certain "sleight of hand" that's idiosyncratic to most of the members of the ruling parties.

Also, what have you ever done for your country in order for it to warrant your despise? Nothing, I am guessing.

cont..

You sound like another kid who's mad 'cause he didn't suddenly wake up in a rich family in Switzerland, or some place of that sort.

If you want any change to happen, do work towards that, as the people who made poor countries rich did. Don't just be a drifter who nomadically seeks the best place to nest in, only to bail later when it becomes unfavorable. The recovery of Portugal from its shambles is very possible, but it'll require efforts not yet a comprehended by our frail noosphere.

We'll pick ourselves up again, provided we're driven by a collective desire and motivation to do so, instead of cowering away and crying because things aren't favorable as they are. That's the element of our "typically portuguese" attitude that I most despise. The "saudade". We should adamantly defend a pursuit for a much better ideal - o "desejo".

yes
my family were my mom and her parents

Take a wild guess.

No
And I don't belive in that meme statistics, there aren't so many divorces, at least with parents with under 18 children.

>I specifically told you that the turks I came across originated from the eastern part of the country, which is denser in people whose ethnicity is much closer to being arabian than anatolian. You posted a picture of people from Istanbul.
Most Turks live in the West, Northwest and East, Istanbul itself alone accounts for 14 million of Turkey's 74 million Turks, and a group of Portuguese people would fit right in there, in any Western or Northern city (so 50% or more of the country). My bullshit detector is bleeping again with your posts.

>You're only assessing the common denominator there. We've had a consistent stream of garbage at the reins of the country for so very long, and it really shows; excuses, excuses and more rationalizations
I'm not going to enter a long and drawn out discussion of the history of this craphole with you. but to keep it short, everything Portugal has, it deserves it, the poverty and the uneducated population, both are deserved in a country that reveres backwards thinking, that prides itself in a rural mentality, the lazy and vain people who hate their leaders but keep re-electing them..

>Also, what have you ever done for your country in order for it to warrant your despise? Nothing, I am guessing.
>Muh if you haven't achieved 3 Nobel prizes and won 2 olympic gold medals you're unworthy too
Fuck off.

>or some place of that sort.
Portugal is pretty much one of the worst countries to have been born in, in the West. I'm not talking about Switzerland, being born in fucking Chile would have been better, and this will only get worse and worse as time goes on.

As for the rest of your post, a lot of lame romanticism, but not a semblance of rational thinking. There is -no- rational reason for me not to abandon the sinking ship, but if you want to play the captain, you're free to sink along with it, meanwhile I'll be having fun posting Alberto Barbosa and planning my future life, in say, Switzerland perhaps.

My father was a weak man who was dominated by my mother, so no. A classic Slovenian story, none more so.
