I agree that what is different is an attraction. DWAEJIMGBBUOII, I concur with the sentiment that southern girls are beauties... but their knowledge about the world CAN be weak, a lot have never left the south = one trick pony. But if you are looking for a homemaker = win.
Rusty, I think personality can put a decent looking girl over the top like varnish brightens up a less vibrant oil painting. Personality is sex appeal.
I kinda disagree about the good lookers not having to try so they are boring. I think they are a bit more closed because of a constant barrage of all types of men trying to get in their pants since they were 14. I think it may take longer for these types to find a goal of their own since they tend to have been taken care of, eventually if they don't get locked down too soon they can be very independent and interesting. |

In the USA, anywhere east of the mississippi nothing but heffers. Naturally that would include new foundland too. |
Would it, now? And pray tell -- which state did God have the good grace to bless with you and your common sense?
By the way, ever been to Manhattan? You know, east of the Mississippi? Didn't think so. Gee, that's a surprise.
By the way, you both spelled "heifer" wrong. Geniuses. |

| Lots of great women east of the Mississippi. Lots of good looking folks everywhere, although I'm not sure about Manhattan. Big city values (or lack thereof) can be a deal breaker. Tough women in NYC, yes, but what they're tough for can sometimes be rather nebulous. Certainly not the rule, of course, but as a rural fellow I often find city folks to be wanting in the, um, fundamentals of human civility. |

Yeah I don't think the above two philosophers were contemplating the finer points of the female character. They were just observing the 'heffer (sic)'-esque qualities. Not many fatties in Manhattan. |

THis. The hundreds of years of island inbreeding has definitely had some consequences.
There are good looking people everywhere but having lived in Britain for 2 years, on average, the british are the ugliest people in all of Europe. THe women are the worst. Going back to Eastern Germany and Denmark was a huge relief. |
This is the problem, the 5.5's telling the 4's that they are ugly.
Having seen your photo Misher, I have no idea why you thought you were the aesthetic superior of the locals whilst in the British Isles, you are not ugly but you are not handsome either. You are just a normal looking bloke.
I think that is a fair assesment - have a good look at your face in one of your Korean girlfriends many handmirrors - just normal, average, nothing to write home about. And certainly in no position to go around calling people ugly.
The reason why Adolf Hitler conquered the Danes, the Czechs and the Italians - he came in with the panzers and the stukas whilst they were all preening in the mirror. The reason why the British conquered a quarter of the world whilst the other nations were washing their hair. The British and the Irish may not be the best looking people out there but if you want someone watching your back in a foxhole - we are hard to beat.  |

Like it or not, all of my personal experiences are in line with the general stereotypes already in this thread.
I was in London several years ago and the hottest white girls I saw were visiting French students. The hottest british girls I met were ethnically half Malay, and they were absolutely stunning.
Brit males tend to be average, the females decidedly below average looking and often quite fat, equivalent to their North American counterparts. On the male front, the highly binge alcoholic driven boorish behavior on part of the males doesn't help them aesthetically. Better dentistry would help as well.
Essentially most of the people residing in Ireland, Scotland and the British Isles qualify to be background people props in the movie Braveheart. They really should be encouraged to stop breeding with each other but whatever floats their boat.
I will also agree and in my experience, the Brit accent works really well for Brit men among American females. Personally I also really love the Brit female acccent, and I've found Brit females to have an earthy quality to their speech and demeanor that can also be attractive (by this I mean a Brit female can easily be one of the boys). But looks? no, unfortunately not. The fact they're now shaped like their American sisters or worse, makes it even worse.
bogroll like it or not, misher's points stand.
However, I would also have to agree that there is no other race than Brits to have with me in the foxhole. The whole stiff upper lip mentality even in the face of utter doom is easily the most distinguished part of being a Briton. Something to be proud of.
But looks? nah - though it appears that breeding with Malays, Pakistanis and generally any people not as pasty as the the sun starved Brits may produce spectacular results. |

| I think what's going down here is that a lot of people are becoming desensitized to what kind of person is actually attractive. We're inundated by a certain kind of symmetry that is supposed to correspond with the ideal of human physical beauty and it's becoming the norm. I've got two conflicting views of beauty, one is "composed" and childish and the other is real and in real life. They both exist in entirely different compartments. The former is based on the aesthetic demands of a medium (and the pressure to conform to this medium's standards) and the latter is based on feelings and perceptions. Using the Internet to come to a conclusion of who is attractive is not only fraudulent and limited, but just childish. |

maybe.. and maybe not.
A person's idea of what is attractive to them isn't easily manipulated by the media once it becomes ingrained. The women and types of women I found attractive when I first saw them while traveling when I was 18 weren't popular in the media back then. Now they are all the rage. So in this instance, the media followed me, not the other way around.
I also happen to detest the overly glam look and hate silicone, which I know puts me in the distinct minority, but that's a positive in my book.
Basically if you've done some global traveling, or live in a major urban center in the US or a place like Toronto, Canada, then you'll have a fairly decent idea of the various looks out there and how ethnic backgrounds come into play in terms of those looks. Then, I think it's a matter of simple biology accounting for personal tastes and preferences. |

Character see. You have to learn to value character, and forget the superficial, metropansified things of life like stylish clothes, good personal grooming, or expensive haircuts. Or even good food, for that matter. |

Sorry bog. Its seems that I hit a nerve there. I was just stating an observation after living there for 2 years. Are there good looking british people? Of course. They are just much more rare when compared to other European nationalities. The funny thing is, many people agree. The personal attack on my looks was a bit expected I guess but after reading some of your other posts in the past, I can't really say I'm that surprised. I guess I asked for it by posting my pic like many others some time ago. Why don't you post yours? You seem to like to personally attack people's looks.
The second part of your response isn't needed. We all know the British were responsible for this, enlightened the world with that, and when it comes time to dig your heels in and fight, they are the people to be with. I wasn't aware we were talking about how countries are good at imperialistic conquest and war. Why don't you start another thread about it?

I think that is a fine point. In my experience, the most beautiful women have a lot more going for them than looks. Some might, by some people's standards, have been quite poor looking. But they ranked very high with me.
Beauty is a form of mortal art in people, it is an impression created both by physical attractiveness and personality. Toughness in a woman goes a long way for me. This, as other posters have said, is perhaps a notable feature of the British. But as an American, toughness alone is not enough. There must also be sweetness, tenderness and compassion, elsewise the toughness becomes masculine, aggressive, and unfeeling, and thus redundant.
On the whole I find this whole subject to be a little absurd. The British have a look to them that is particular, both from genetics and from their environment. The same can be said about many other groups of people from all over the world.
Myself, I find the British to be a handsome people. Inside and out. |

I agree with this. My experience is very anecdotal but when I lievd in Britain , the women that I met were generally a lot more loud, obnoxious and binge drinking seemed to be normal. Now of course many British women are not like this and other guys have probably had opposite experiences but at that time I couldn't help but being turned off. In other parts of Europe I met women that were extremely attractive to me. To other guys they may have been considered ugly but to me the way they carried themselves, their wit and maturity made them unbelievably beautiful. |

Maybe or maybe not on what point? Everyone likes to talk about how unique and utterly special their idea of what an attractive so and so is, but the reality is that most people--a vast majority of people--just follow the line when it comes to what kind of person is attractive. You don't get these models and actors, six packs and big boobs, fat lips and slim noses, jutting jaws and refined cheekbones because some photographer and producer were willing to take a risk. These kind of images rose to the top for aesthetic and economic reasons.

| Personally, coming across a woman in the UK that I'm even moderately sexually-attracted to is very difficult, but I'm not sure I'd have better success if I was a woman looking for a man. There are far too many bald, small guys for a start, and too many tattoos and goaties, and just general low-grade, inarticulate, badly-dressed, obscenely-overweight slobs. |

I don't think anyone hailing from the Land of the obese, most of whom could be props in the audience at a redneck truck show or the audience at a Jerry Springer show should be so easily putting the Brits down when it comes to looks.
Talk about throwing stones in glass houses ....
