Norway vs Sweden

My global history professor before who is half Norwegian and half Swedish once told me that Norway and Sweden have alot in common but foreigners find it hard to see the difference between the two. Most Norwegians find it easy to understand Swedish but Swedes have a lower understanding of Norwegian. And oh, he said that Swedish sounds feminine to Norwegians and Norwegian sounds more masculine to Swedes (is it real?i really wanna confirm it!) He also said that Norwegians are less formal and more irresponsible/happy-go-lucky/slacker compared to Swedes.
