Vietnam, korea and italy.

The women are a sight for sore eyes.

In each case...their strong sense of nationalism/ xenophobia toward outsiders is driven by the fact the man desperately do not want to share "their" women with anyone else. Hence they encourage negative myths about foreigners to keep their women "locked in". They encourage a racial pureblood ideology and stigmatise any women that stray.

By contrast, the most cosmopolitan, open, multi cultural societies have less attractive women on average. Bceause they gain more freedoms, and women become liberated to know they don't have to look stunning to be powerful in society.

Yes. Thats it.

While I think you've made some interesting observations, it really doesn't explain how women in these countries are more attractive. Is it because they're less attainable? Or because they're pure-blooded?

My theory would be they put more effort into beauty simply because the difference between landing a good husband or not holds that much more power over their lives.

The hottest are those whose parents come from very different ethnic backgrounds.

Go to Colombia, Brazil, or most other Latin American countries and try making that statement again.

italian and spanish women are so hot because they are a mixture of european and arabic genes. from when they were a part of the arab world

probably the same for korean women who will have a mixture of chinese, japanese, mongolian etc in their blood

no idea about vietnam, i've never been there or studied their history,

this whole pure race thing is a load of crap anyways, even 'white english' covers about 10 races (celts, saxons, norsemen, irish celts, south europeans, slavic etc etc) what is the 'cutoff point' for your race?

I always thought Korean men were possessive over "their" women not because those women would be desired by men from other ethnic groups, but because... well... you know, that other thing.

Anyway most ordinary Korean women are just ok. The ones in the media are drop dead gorgeous: same as most other countries...?

You missed 2 countries that are usually touted as having the worlds most attractive women and certainly another country that is racially pure that has highly desirable women as well.

There are two Italys, one north - one south. This is explained on the Sopranos.

That's certainly part of it. In Korea, say, where a woman meets a glass ceiling at age 30 and is pretty much compelled by society to quit, marry, and have kids, her only real choice is to make the most of what she has and secure a good husband early.

Also, places like Seoul, Moscow, Tokyo, etc are cities where people use a lot of public transportation. Hence, women don't have the luxury of jumping in their car in sweats and a tee and going through a drive thru. Places where women are under the public gaze a lot compels them to look better.

Seconded, Brazilians are among the friendliest people I've met. Get your head out of your a$$, Korean women look like teenage boys compared to Brazilian women. For every 1 hot K-girl there are about 20 in Brazil and they don't come with the attitude, psycho insecure men glaring and swearing at you and acting as if they were 12 years old.

I used to worship Asian and particulary Korean girls, and I still kind of do. Laughing


But I saw a couple Latin girls in Seoul a few weeks ago and I was blown away. Now granted some Korean girls have shaps, but damn these latin girls had shape. And their hair and accent almost drove me to cinsider swimming the Pacific all the was to Colombia.

I made the mistake of teaching in Brazil before coming to Korea. I didn't find Korean girls attractive at all when I first got here, then they kind of grew on me but as I started to see how they act like 12 year olds, whine all the time, have the "Korean mentality" and culture engrained into them I find it hard to be interested in them.

Trust me, if you go to Brazil you will never give Koren girls another thought. Every guy I've ever talked to in Korea who has been to Brazil has the same opinion. By the way, the largest Japanese population outside Japan is in Brazil, you want to see a nice mix - Brazilian - Japanese.

Sure, an open gene pool with increased gene flow... would theoretically increase the quality of the people. Brazil is a melting pot.

However...when you have a closed society that has been reproducing itself based on the same qualities for a long time..it results in a certain purity of form. A distinctness...distinct features are attractive, unique, different. if everyone looked the same, nothing would stand out as attractive.

Another point is that the society and the culture moulds the peoples physical appearance to some extent. The diet, the values.Homogenous societies tend to propogate racism, which goes hand in hand with male dominated macho societies. Which tend to evaluate women precisely on their looks. Thus, the women have to become or be attractive to ensure they have influence.

Iceland: a closed off isolated homogenous inbred society for a long time! Result? an abundance of hotties.
