Yes, some will consider this a highly racist thread. If you can’t deal with it, the exits are clearly marked and easy to find.
After looking at some of the news photos of Libya, I noticed the men are much better looking than the women. Yes, this is a broad generalization and there are plenty of exceptions and outliers. But I’m wondering if there’s a grain of truth to this.
Political correctness is telling me it’s wrong to stereotype people and blah blah blah. Let’s set that aside for a moment to at least explore the idea a bit further.
For me, personally, I think African, Arab and Russian men are better looking than their female counterparts. Asian and Irish women on average look better than their male equivalents. And both men and women from Latin America and Europe are equally hot.
Other than thinking I’m a huge racist, do you have any opinions on this?
I can agree with your general idea, though not necessarily with the groups you pick, but I think you’re misattributing the cause. That is, I think different cultures will tend to find different attributes more or less attractive in different ways. As a result, particular ethnicities that have those attributes will appear more attractive if they’re considered positive for that gender, and less if not.
Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Latin Americans are quite ethnically diverse. Your statement makes absolutely no sense at all. I agree that Russian women are way hotter than the men.
I was thinking Russians before I even opened the thread.
I’ve actually noticed this in different parts of the country. Women in the DC area, for instance, struck me as being a little taller and a little heavier than women in the Boston area. But that could have just been a coincidence.
Japan. There very few good-looking Japanese men, IMO. Having spent a lot of time there, I’d say the whole “all Japanese women are hot” thing is overstated, but the men over there just do absolutely nothing for me.
Australian Aborigines…well…I don’t know if the men or the women are better looking, but both genders, generally seem to leave something to be desired in terms of looks. I’m not trying to bash them as people, but from what I’ve seen, these folks just tend to have fairly un-symmetrical, non-harmonious and generally odd-looking faces.
This is the only people of the world who I feel this way about. But some research seems to show that the view is widely held.
Last 2 really foreign nations I’ve been to were Italy and Denmark.
Italians seem to have a rough parity genderwise on looks - but let it be known, a lot of 'em aren’t so great looking. The women especially often overdo it on the clothes and makeup.
Danish women have a clean simple look that makes them, often, breathtaking. Those dark blond and fine boned genes help. But that same gene pool (and taste in dress) tends to make men look a little scraggly and unprepossessing.
Yah - I disagree. I’ve met lots of Japanese men that I find quite hot. I’ve met lots of Japanese women that I find quite hot.
They tend to be slim and eat a healthy diet so I would say Japanese in general are among one of the better looking races, with some notable exceptions of course.
To be clear, here, are we talking typical members of these ethnicities, or the outliers? Is, say, one extremely hot Russian woman enough to say that “Russian women are hot”? Or does that require that the typical Russian woman looks better than the typical American woman? Or is it a comparison of how common the really ugly women are?
(Another fan of South Asian women here. Also, North Asian, East Asian, West Asian, African, American, European, Antarctican, Oceanic, and for that matter space women. Heck, I just like women. )
