From Oh please, you lard-butt British frumps have got off too lightly - Times Online
I can’t help feeling I’ve let British women off lightly. It’s not just the Americans you don’t compare to: British women don’t have the curves of the Italians, the simmering sexuality of the Spanish, the sophistication of the French or the openness of the Scandinavians.

So what do British women have? Top spot in the European obesity table. Top spot in the European teen pregnancy table. And the only spots (besides Denmark) in the chart showing rising alcohol consumption among women in western Europe.
-------------------------

What do you think about British women, and the fact that most of them look like Vicky Pollard? Are you happy with the women in your country, or do you think they are too gross and need to put some effort into their appearance?

Chris from Oxford points out that British women are also worse than Japanese women:

"The arrival of the fleece was perfect for the
British woman - cheap, versatile,figure-hiding and machine
washable - it's become a uniform. My wife - Japanese - was
shocked to see them everywhere: in Japan they are worn only
on building sites. She cannot understand why women in UK
have no self-esteem. To appear in public ill-groomed and
scruffy is, in Japan, a sign of a failed, unloved woman poor
in both money and spirit."

Everybody, with the possible exception of a few Cambodians, is fatter than Japanese women.

I saw a hot English gal recently. Tall, slender, well-groomed, and a nice figure.

I know some incredibly hot English girls. They all dress very well too. They also all, for the most part, live in expensive parts of London, which probably skews my sample set a bit.

Doesn't matter. I'm still itching for my first trip to England, possibly in Spring of '09.
Plus, I'm married. Doesn't affect me.

^^Is that Kate Moss?^^ I think she is hot.

I don't know many British women, so I have no place to say. Windsor women on the other hand....there are some very attractive girls around.

Having lived in London for 18 years I dated my share of English girls. All of them were pretty damn hot.

i digress though, every country has good and bad looking women. since i'm not interested in black women so much, african countries probably have the least attractive women because they are the least attractive to my personal tastes.

Moving to japan has showed me once and for all that I have no attraction to Japanese women.

Also, Japanese women not so great as everyone makes them out to be. They dress horribly, wear the worst boots that cause massive posture and walking issues, wear way too much makeup, and would probably be mistaken for hookers in any western country.

Sure, there are some nice ones every now and then, but they are few and far between.

Sounds like you need to meet a Bijin.
Maybe you were hanging out with hookers!

But English women - I can only think of two - Kate Moss (met in person, ghastly tall and thin but still pretty) and that Victoria Secret Model with the most delightful speaking voice, can't recall her name.

Oh man, and the teeth!

I have tons of Japanese friends, and know some extremely attractive Japanese women, but from my time in Japan and from spending time in various Japanese communities I'd say they're far, far above the curve.

Come on guys, only 1-3% of the female population of any country is do-able.

Except for Sweden, of course.

The old "Scandinavian Night Club versus Footballers' Pub" comparison is still specious. I live in one of the fattest cities in the U.S., and going to any public place generally is a positive, ego-enhancing experience. But I see gorgeous women every day. I've been to clubs that were overflowing with gorgeousness, and clubs that were heavy on the "if you ain't fer them Longhorns, you ain't welcome here" crowd. Not only in the same town but only blocks apart.

Personally, I like women. Healthy women with good attitudes to be specific. Healthy women look good, and good attitudes make them feel good, so with those together, they are great to look at and to spend time with. I don't care what their accent is (I had a class a while back with a young lady from somewhere in the Francophone part of Africa-lovely accent), or where they came from, as long as the two criteria above are met.

Which part of this isn't exactly how everyone makes them out to be?

Wow. I live in Asia, and think oppositely.

Most Western woman I have met are hairy, frumpy, big-boned, loutish, generally over-weight, have the jaw-lines of lumberjacks, and dress like unmade beds.

Asian woman, on the other hand, are petite, virtually hairless, take better care of personal grooming, and are more ideally feminine, both in appearance and in their general deportment... IMO.

It varies massively from country to country. In China I'd agree with you. In Japan, not so much. Obviously there's a range in both countries, but my experience is that the average Chinese woman is more in line with what you're saying while the average Japanese woman is not (well they're still usually petite and non-hairy, although the more Ainu blood they have the more hair they're likely to have).

I've spent extensive amounts of time in China and Japan, and I have to agree with Tiresias for the most part.
The main thing I'm drawn to is the feminine aspect - onnarashii.
A pet theory of mine is that Western women want to be men - they too want to wear the pants in the family, whilst Asian women celebrate their femininity and allow men to be men without emasculating them. That's the b&w of it, there are greys of course...

"she's not hot" implies that you see yourself as an authority on the matter.

"i don't think she's hot" is you just expressing your opinion, authoritative or no, on the matter.

just saying - words have meaning, even on the intarweb. and please don't assume anyone's actually bothered by anything you post.

edit: btw, I realize this is overdoing it. And I'd say my experience is that there have always been enough hot females in both the UK and the USA to keep me interested.

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. I look forward to the next time I get this lecture when I continue to post my opinion like I and several others have been since the internet started.

Neither do, I just find it hard to ignore something that is one of defining features of faces.
