“Finland’s sexiest man” ends romance with text message

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: @ 12:37 am

Why don’t stories about Finland ever make it out of the “Oddly Enough” section??

Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, dubbed Finland’s sexiest man, broke up by text message with the girlfriend he had met on the Internet, she said in a magazine interview. “Matti dumped me in a text message, where he said ‘that’s it’,” Susan Kuronen told the magazine Me Naiset (Us Women) in an interview published on Friday.

Her relationship with Vanhanen, a divorced 51-year-old father of two, ended a few weeks ago, but continues to make headlines as Susan, 36, pours her heart out in local media. Vanhanen, who declines to comment on the relationship, was cited as Finland’s sexiest man by French President Jacques Chirac earlier this year, when Finnish tabloids were running daily front-page details of the romance.

Hat Tip to Mo & Hank W. for the link!

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    This should be used to revive the Nokia hype of the late 90s. An article in Wired magazine is, like, totally called for.

  • inFINNdel

    “Finland’s Sexiest Man” Reuters article seems to imply the typical
    *MENAGE A TROIS* scheme the French are famous for,involving Vanhanen-Chirac-Kuronen frolicking for media,utilizing advanced Finnish communication technology …….sweeeeeet!

  • Hank W.

    Next we’ll have a tv-show on BBC, “Date, Mr Prime Minister”, RAI will make a historical spectacle “120 days in Eduskunta sauna” and HBO will followwith  “Sex and the Fores” set in Pieksämäki :lol:

  • Bu Jinrui

    Yes. The ’7-päivää’ magazine is as good a source as NY Post.

    How do You Americans call a 30+ woman who has three children with three different men and is trying to get a fourth one? White trash?

  • Frustrated Finn

    This woman is white trash. She is getting no comments, so she just keeps on ‘opening up’ more and more. Vanhanen should keep his position, which is no comments.

    She is like a little child, bitter, and trying to start flaming via magazines. I’d like to say, jeesh what a big fat whore, but I don’t.

    Vanhanen stepped onto the dating scene after a long hiatus and must have forgot that he’s the PM (and sexiest man in Finland), he could have gotten any woman he wanted, but he went for the first trailer trash he found. No three-date rule for him, he got laid on the first night. He was probably like, “Wow, this is easy!”

  • Kimmo W.

    #4: Do they have to be white?

  • http://anzisblog.blogspot.com Anzi

    Why is this supposed to be even remotely interesting? Some chick banged our boring PM, making him a little less boring. So what?

    No three-date rule for him …

    So that actually exists in the States? Wow. How incredibly lame.

  • a lamb with no guiding light

    Ms Kuronen really needs a publicist. By badmouthing Vanhanen in any tabloid that will listen, she’s making herself look like the villain of the piece all by her lonesome and in the process validating prime minister Vanhanen’s choice.

  • http://anzisblog.blogspot.com Anzi

    Vanhanen dumped her by text message? Is he 14 years old? Pa-thetic.

  • http://www.finlandforthought.net Phil

    So that actually exists in the States? Wow. How incredibly lame.

    Nah, I don’t think it’s set in stone anywhere. But all guys know that if the girl would sleep with you after one night out, she’s a hoe and not somebody who’d you want to build a relationship with.

    Now that she’s a celebrity, they should interview her old husbands and other flings so they can talk shit about her. I’d be very interested to read about that, cause this is obviously not her first psycho ex-girlfriend tirade.

    Kimmo – “White trash” is a condition that transcends skin colour. :)

    Maybe all the stories about Finland are in the ‘oddly enough’ section because, well, Finland is an odd place and most of the stories are purely anecdotal…i.e. a loser politician with no class dumping a woman via SMS. With balls like that, he’d send his kids a christmas greeting for their mother via SMS, too. A supposed world leader who can’t even tell the woman off in person? Not much of a leader or a man for that matter.

  • http://www.finlandforthought.net Phil

    There’s some sure signs out there that you’ll be able to discover on the first date if the girl is nuts or not..

    1. Has she tried to kill herself?
    2. Does she still have strong feelings (good or bad) towards any ex-boyfriends?
    3. Does she have an usually close relationship with her parents?
    4. Would she sleep with you on the first date?
    5. Does she only hang out with dudes and doesn’t have any girlfriends, in fact she’ll boast about the fact that she doesn’t really like other girls?
    6. Does she cry after sex? (Yes, my old buddy from school dated this attractive girl way out of his league that would weep everytime after sex. WTF?!)
    7. Eating disorders? Other mental disorders? Has she ever seen a shrink? Is she skinny but constantly says how she’s fat?
    8. Does she take lots of naps during the day?

    What’s so great about the psycho girls is that they’ll get all this shit out in the open on the first date. Like during dinner, “You need to know that I once tried to kill myself and that after I’m done this burger, I’m gonna puke it down the toilet.” and you’re like, “You need to know that I’m not call you ever again”

    One of the things I love most about my girl is that she has such a “good head on her shoulders”. None of that “I’m fat”, “I’m gonna cry all the time” bullshit.

    Tell me about it. And this guy is supposed to be sexy? I don’t think so.

    Nah, I don’t think it’s set in stone anywhere. But all guys know that if the girl would sleep with you after one night out, she’s a hoe and not somebody who’d you want to build a relationship with.

    I know. Only prudes who follow “rules” make good, obedient little wives. They’re the only ones that go to heaven, too, or so I hear.

    6. Does she cry after sex? (Yes, my old buddy from school dated this attractive girl way out of his league that would weep everytime after sex. WTF?!)

    Actually, I have been told that a really intense orgasm can sometimes cause a crying reaction in both men and women. No, seriously. It’s still kind of freaky.

    My ex-friend’s ex-boyfriend would probably disagree with you on that one…. ;-)

    #14 PHIL…terve from Massachusetts from infinndel! ;)
    Your list of warning signs that expose lunatic chicks,seems to indicate an overwhelming assimilation ,by you, of pop psychology
    pronouncments.The do-it-yourself, fake pschological diagnostic pap purveyed to tv viewers worldwide,by the likes of Oprah Winfrey and
    *DOCKKTORR PHIL* have obviously permanently distorted your mysogynistic
    view of women!!… ;)

  • Kaislis

    “But all guys know that if the girl would sleep with you after one night out, she’s a hoe and not somebody who’d you want to build a relationship with.”

    LOL Talk about American hypocrisy!

    And what’s this talk about white trash?!?!! I’ve never thought of my opticians as white trash!! How about secretaries, receptionist? Surely all sales person must be white trash, too, and nurses, oh nurses, No doubt!” LOL you Americans are funny!!!

    Just cause a girl won’t sleep with guys on the first date, or a guy doesn’t want to sleep on a girl on the first date….doesn’t make them Jesus-loving conservatives like you suggest.

    Maybe if you get cum in your eye.

    And just because a girl is sexually forward doesn’t make her a ho like you suggest. Maybe she just likes sex? Ever thought of that? Or do you think that women who enjoy sex, sometimes with no strings attached, are all ho’s?

    Maybe if you get cum in your eye.

    It’s actually supposedly some sort of freak hormonal reaction. Whatever it is it’s freaky.

    That’s the definition! :lol:

    That’s the definition!

    Oookay then…. Women who enjoy sex are whores. It sure must suck to be your girlfriend, dude.

  • http://www.finlandforthought.net Phil

    No it’s the “sometimes with no strings attached” part.

    If a girl or guy goes around sleeping with everyone, with no strings attached, they’re generally less likely to be trusted in a relationship.

    Oh, wake up from your dreamworld boy and grow up! This is not America, thank god!

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    Speaking from personal experience, Phil?

    Just for the record, I agree with Anzi 100% on the obedient little wifey issue. I suppose that the three date rule also means that it’s obligatory to put out on the third date.

    It’s good to see that even recovering Catholics still have the hypocritical morality down.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    Vanhanen dumped her by text message? Is he 14 years old? Pa-thetic.

    What do you expect? He only got to his position riding on a woman’s back (though I’m not weeping for Jäätteenmäki). I can’t wait to get rid of this loser, and hopefully KePu altogether, next March.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    I’d define a ho’ as a woman who sleeps around while in a relationship, or knowingly sleeps with men who are in a relationship. But then again, I never was Catholic and didn’t get this Madonna/whore dichotomy.

    And by the way, it’s OK to have sex on the 1st, 3rd or the 30th date. No retarded rules are necessary, thank you very much.

    Of the two likely candidates, Don Eero and Don Juan, Vanhanen still strikes me as the more likable one. Alas.

    Hopefully Vanhanen will in future remember to ask prospective girlfriends whether they’re into SMS.

    Go watch an episode of Jerry Springer and see which country is doing all the fucking. :-)

    How exactly am I hypocritical?

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    How exactly am I hypocritical?

    Branding women who don’t care to follow braindead dating guidebook advice as ho’s would be the key here.

  • http://www.finlandforthought.net Phil

    How would that make me “hypocritical”? And being a “ho” (I can’t believe we’re seriously discussing this, heh) is not my decision. If you’re a female, and you sleep around with a lot of guys, and you’re easy to get in to bed, and fuck on the first day…you’re a ho. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that.

  • http://jormanen.vuodatus.net Bu Jinrui

    I support Phil. Many men are only happy about liberal ‘ho’ women.

    I think too that there is moch more psychologically unbalanced young women now than only 10-15 years ago. Or to be more exact, it is mainly problem of white protestants from industrial nations; not as much of Asian, African, Arab or Latino girls. Why?

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    I can’t believe we’re seriously discussing this

    Are we?

    If you’re a female, and you sleep around with a lot of guys, and you’re easy to get in to bed, and fuck on the first day…

    So, if a woman sleeps with you on the first date, she’ll do it with anyone. Yay, you’ve built yourself a Finnish self-esteem. Congrats on your first step to complete integration!

  • http://anzisblog.blogspot.com Anzi

    There’s also the fact that for many people sleeping around is just a phase of youth. I have several friends who hopped around from bed to bed in their early 20′s during their wild student party years, and are now in a serious, monogamous, and happy relationships. Their partners are fully aware of their past, and many of them have a similar one.

    So branding a person a ho or whatever just because they’re trying their wings is pretty judgmental and hypocritical IMO.

    Let us also not forget that men get bad reputations too. They can stick like superglue. Yes, boys, girls talk. ;-)

  • Antti (the redneck one)

    Hmpf, I would made great career in Salvation Army. All the supposed “ho’s” turned into instant madonnas. :D At some point one gets fed up with tea and oranges all the way from China, when one thing and another seem to lack causality.

  • Kaislis

    “If you’re a female, and you sleep around with a lot of guys, and you’re easy to get in to bed, and fuck on the first day…you’re a ho”

    Maybe in America… And if your a male?

    I’m sure you’ve never met a ho personally, not knowingly I mean, since, how could you know, who would go to bed with you on the first date or not, surely you’re a good mamas boy, who never asked! :-D

  • born in the U.S.A

    well, now I know why Finnish women go out of Finland to get a man..if that guy is what Finland sexiest man is all about…then let me get more Finnish women…
    Who voted that guy as the sexiest man ?… a bar fly ? drunk on vodka ho ?

    Finland is truly the land of what we in U. S call trailer trash……hahahahahahaha

    Send the Finnish chicks my way, if thats how sexy Finnish men look ? send the Finnish hos my way…

    I love Finnish Hos…oops I got one,,,,well send me more..hahahah

  • Antti (the redneck one)

    Otan osaa…

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    At some point one gets fed up with tea and oranges all the way from China, when one thing and another seem to lack causality.

    You had enough tea to get fed up? Does this also mean that you got the time of the day? You’re quite the player.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    well, now I know why Finnish women go out of Finland to get a man..if that guy is what Finland sexiest man is all about…

    Says someone from a country whose sexiest man is George Clooney. Who’s next, Bob Dole?

  • Antti (the redneck one)

    “You had enough tea to get fed up?…”

    Heh, let’s say that if you are invited upstairs to see the etchings and you end up watching etchings, you are not going to be a great fan of etchings, when this happens for 10th time or so :D

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    Heh, let’s say that if you are invited upstairs to see the etchings and you end up watching etchings, you are not going to be a great fan of etchings, when this happens for 10th time or so

    Was it always etchings? Your account is definitely the first of its kind to come to my attention. Then again, I was never invited anywhere.
