Do you find your country's people to be more or less attractive than the global average? (Why are the Dutch so beautiful?)

[Taki]

Walking around Amsterdam will astound you. What's up with the taller, beautiful people?

Is this because of all the biking?

I'm convinced that countries with cities designed for walking + great public transportation produce healthier citizens on average. Because they're walking around all day instead of sitting in a car stuck in traffic. Exercise.

Do you find your country's people to be more or less attractive than the global average?

 

[BDS]

How many threads do you make per day?

No offense intended

Edit: There is no answer to this question. There are attractive people in every country.

 

[Dennis8K]

We hot.

We Danes are famous for being the most beautiful people of Northern Europe.

 

[Annoying Old Party Man]

Dude... what's going on with you and Europe?

 

[Gallows Bat]

English. It's not good.

 

[dreams]

The way you've written your op is like so ethnocentric it's unbelievable lmao. You do know beauty is subjective, yes? White, tall people aren't necessarily "more attractive than the global average." Like fucking yikes.

Also you need to take a break from Europe threads. They're bordering on fetishistic.

Edit: nice edit lmao. I guess at least you realized how horrible you sounded.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Such annoying threads.

 

[Zhukov]

Spoiler Alert. It's because they're wealthy.

Wealthy people are healthier, better dressed, can afford good food, dental care and cosmetics, have time to work out etc etc.

Some thing basically anywhere in the world.

 

[shaneo632]

I went to Italy a few summers ago and was stunned how pretty much every woman there was gorgeous.

I think English women are nice but I honestly don't have much frame of reference to what "average" is.

 

[Kiraly]

The Dutch are anything but hot lol.

Unless tallness is your only attractiveness factor.

Scandinavians have them beat.

 

[H.Protagonist]

It's all the bike riding they do. Healthy glow = +100 attractiveness points. We should all ride bikes.

As a southern European, I don't really find the Dutch and Scandinavian people to look that different. I couldn't tell them apart if I had to.

 

[kurahador]

By that logic, australians must be the prettiest ppl in the world considering they all run from snakes and dodging kangaroos punch daily.

The USA. Less.

 

[Stopdoor]

Judging entire countries on their "looks" just makes me feel weird, but I'm not super into it on a personal level either.

 

[Skade]

Bigger cities tend to have wealthier people. Wealthier people tend to look better than those who are poor.

Go to a small dutch town far away from Amsterdam and then revise your statement.


It's the same thing everywhere : "Woah, french people are so elegant and good looking !" -> Get out of Paris.

 

[Oh Hi Mark]

Big cities have more people and you notice more attractive people. Especially when the weather is good

 

[Deleted member 33533]

Every country has beautiful people. I don't think there's anything particular about Dutch people that makes them more attractive than anyone else. Are you from the Netherlands? Maybe it has more to do with you being foreign and the people there just being "exotic" to you.

Edit: nice edit lmao. I guess at least you realized how horrible you sounded.

Now I'm curious cause I got that sense even with the edit.

Reading between the lines of the OP I'd guess white people?

French. Yes we are OP.

 

[Wetwork]

Honest to god, that was one of the first things I noticed when I moved from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs. Colorado people style is worse, on average even just swiping on tinder or other sites is lower (and the diversity is pretty shit too, which definitely affects it). Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of attractive people out here - just a combination of things has a huge affect on perception.

Like, when my women friends point out a guy they think is cute, it's usually some tall, skinny, white dude with a backwards dad hat and looks like he smokes a pack a day.

Not that I'm by any means attractive. Just sayin'

 

[Herne]

Still wide-eyed and gobsmacked at everything European, huh Taki?

Unfortunately didn't think to screenshot it or anything but the tone made it even more obvious that OP considers white people to be the global average for hotness.

whys this article always so relevant: http://reductress.com/post/quiz-is-he-cute-or-is-he-just-tall-and-white/

I feel like for me i get more examples in my home country where im sure they look fine but they don't attract me because they look a bit "brotherly" or "sisterly" or just plain "generic" to my eyes. I could never imagine dating anyone I went to school with as a kid. Weird hangup I know.

I think swedes/brits/dutch are massively overrated because of caucasian beauty worship (and perceiving thinness as "health") but then my partner lives right next to NL and hes hhhhhooootttttttttttttttter than the surface of the sun so i guess im a hippogriff

 

[thewienke]

OP is in a major city.

What a surprise that major cities have lots of attractive young people that walk everywhere. It's like going to a college town and using that as a projection on the whole damn country.

The last sentence is kind of ironic since Cumberbatch is barely 6 ft.

This thread is like an episode of Seinfeld. About as shallow as you can get, yet somehow I am still entertained by it.

 

[Deleted member 38573]

the english are.. hmm, let's just say i'm glad i grew up in and spend a lot of time in multicultural london

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I will do the opposite and answer about that which I'm most attracted to, which is Latina women at the moment. I love the dark hair, dark eyes and lovely healthy looking skin combo. As someone from the UK I've always found the sort of Mediterranean/Latina skin colour to be gorgeous.

We spend all the time y'all spend on clapping in movie theaters on walking, exercising and getting stylish instead.

Tons of people smoke in my country. I find smoking very unattractive.

[Vilix]

This may sound sexest (sp) and I apologize if it does. I've been blessed to have worked all over the world. And what I've noticed is that Texas has the highest concentration of beautiful women compared to anywhere in the world. That includes the Netherlands.

As far as men goes... Who cares? 😂

 

[Grouch Douglass]

I have been out of the dating market myself, but I have noticed a lot of very attractive young women in America. Lots of strong personality types and distinctive styles. There also seem to be a lot more mixed-race young people of both genders that just look "good" IMO.
