Sweden is one of the most egalitarian societies in the world, yet when given the options men and women select traditional occupations. Another interesting point in Sweden is they also have inclusive policies for integrating immigrants. Despite this fact, much like its position as a gender equal society, Swedes express a preference for dating Swedes.
"There is a marked pattern of isolation of dating
Arabs living in Sweden (i.e., Europeans’ lower prefer-
ences for Arabs, Arabs’ lower preferences for
Europeans), despite the country’s rather large foreign-
born population and its distinctively positive climate
and inclusive policies towards immigrants. This is sug-
gestive of the growing cleavage and tensions (The
Guardian, 2010;The Economist, 2013) between the na-
tive Swedes and isolated Muslim communities during re-
cent years. Tensions are fueled by large-scale Arabic
immigration to Sweden, which has been accommodating
large numbers of refugees and asylum seekers from con-
flict-stricken countries (e.g., Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Somalia)."
The study shows most groups having a preference for Europeans, some prefer dating Europeans before their own groups. Arabs and Africans are the least preferred by all groups. Considering Europe has recently absorbed a large number of young Arab and African men, some of whom express a preference for Europeans that are not reciprocated (Africans in France), if the European, Hispanic, and Asian express a least preference for them, and if there are not an equal number of single Arab women coming to Europe, who will these men partner with? What will the outcome be for all these men?
