What do you like and don't like about Hungarians?

[Agrippa]

In general, I like Hungarians and can't say anything really negative about them as a people, but historically, they should have treated the Germans in their part better and of course, they shouldn't have taken Ödenburg by force...

[Himera]

And another dislike: Why there is not a stereotype of hungarian(phenotypically) .

I think someone has told me on the Apricity, that I look hungarian, I was totally surprised!

[Sagitta Hungarica]

The closest stereotype I'm aware of is that Hungarians are prone to depression and somewhat gloomy at times.

"Little white flowers won't wait for you,
not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you.
Angels have no thought of ever returning you.
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?"

-Gloomy Sunday, Rezső Seress

Well knowing other nations, Hungarians are definitely not more depressed than the average European. It is just a stereotype that if repeated enough becomes known as fact. But it isn't really.

When I am thinking about Hungary , my impressions are associated with misterious veil of nobleness, aristocracy, poethry, elegy, suicide from principles, in generally, misterious ethnicity which is on the first hand related with Mongolia, ethnicity with such a strong influence on essential european culture, but on the other hand, it is very authentic, and it has strong relations only with Finns ...
I am thinking about Atila the Hun, who 's whispering from hungarian blood lines , hidden between crash of royal gens and varvarians, from one glassy blue eye- view, to another asiatic steppe eye-view ... All that with more enigma: influence of balkanian superstitions, Matia Korvin with hand of (un)mercy, vacuum of comunism, some common ubermensch detesting towards my people, ilirism, bloodbath of mad Kontesse ...

Quite interesting opinion, however the Mongolian stereotype pups up once again. It was just created to denigrate our position in Europe by our "friendly" neighbors. Neighbors: love them or hate them, but you can't get away from them

Dislike: poor nation at the moment, not pro-capitalistic.

In general, I like Hungarians and can't say anything really negative about them as a people, but historically, they should have treated the Germans in their part better and of course, they shouldn't have taken Ödenburg by force, when the vote was planned already, because it was a German city...

No disrespect to you, but you are misinformed. I don't think there was a more open nation to Germans in Europe than Hungarians. Since the foundation of our state in 1000 Germans were welcomed to settle in Hungary, and they always benefited of large autonomy, and our rulers treated them better than the average Hungarian peasant (in wars they weren't obliged to fight for Hungary, so they had all the circumstances to flourish). Also in both world wars Hungary was the first and last country to join and to remain in battle with Germany.

Also Hungary was the last shield of German states in front of the Ottoman invasions, and took the heavy losses, while the Hapsburgs had enough time to raise a strong military and economical state, that later they could resist successfully further Ottoman attacks, after they conquered a large part of Hungary. And what was the thank you? Almost 300 years of national suppression of Hungarians in the Hapsburg Empire. But we already forgave this past, proof being that on an economical basis we have the tightest relations with Germany and Austria.

I don't see a reason why would somebody dislike anybody just because they are poor. I think you always have to be compassionate with those in need. And it's not like Hungary is a third world country. It is well integrated with the infrastructure into Europe, the average Hungarian also had a decent living, not until the former 8 year long socialist (read metamorphosed Communists over the night into democrats) had favored a catastrophically pro-capitalist policy, which resulted in selling almost all the goods of the state on very little money, and borrowing so much money that could never be payed back, but most of this money wasn't used into state developments, but went into these crooked politicians and their business entourage's banking accounts. I find it very odd that someone, especially writing on such a forum to be pro-capitalism. Our new government does very well that it wants to put a break to the Capitalist blood sucking bankers and corporations that want to buy off everything in Hungary, even the not yet born. My issue with them however is, that their anti-capitalism is just a facade, since they are themselves puppets of the corporations and banks.
