Yep, it’s true, because I just read in a Swedish newspaper that an American magazine, Gear (don’t know what kind of magazine it is, but it doesn’t matter), have done a **big** investigment about who is the most perfect woman, and I mean that is **very** important to know, right?😉 And who is the winner you wounder? Take a guess before you check it out in this link. [The answear](http://britneypics.free.fr/gallery/page10/britney142.jpg) ---

Ugh. Apparently I live in the wrong country then because that is not my idea of the perfect woman. Bah. ---

Y’never know. She might have a humble, charming personality, a gentle sense of humour and a phD in music. On the other hand if you want to admire someone from afar, you’d be better off with [someone with a shinier heart!](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/ruadh.html) [sup]To self: \*Can’t believe I posted that…[/sup] ---

Must comment on this thread’s title - I have known many Americans who taste just fine, even downright delicious after you add some honey or chocolate body butter. ---

Too young , too blonde and too much silicone for this American’s taste.I like a girl with a little meat on her bones. ---

You know, there is absolutely NOTHING that is extraordinary about that girl. She’s pretty, but not gorgeous. She can sing okay, but even _Madonna_ is a better singer. Nice body, but no nicer than every other singer/starlet. Capped teeth, dyed hair, unblemished but plain face, fake tan. _Bor-ING!!!_ She is white bread…just your generic, Safeway-brand white bread. ---

_This_ American at least knows that plurals don’t have apostrophes. I therefore refuse to pay attention to your idiocy. ---

**friedo** , ad hominem attacks are the act of a losing player. I have no idea who that is, but she looks like thousands of other swimsuit model types. I agree with **Anniz** that many people (not just Americans) tend to a herd like mentality. If lots of people think “X” is good…why then, it must be so! Especially if it’s on TV! ptooie. I am glad I neither know nor care who this girl is. ---

I dunno, guys… I think she’s kinda cute. I’d do her. And honestly, I think what probably makes her so attractive to so many people is that she _isn’t_ at all threatening. I think that a lot of people like that in a Fantasy Girl. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Anniz \* > \*\*an American magazine, Gear > \*\* Your basing this on Gear? A magazine with as much intelligence as Maxim? As much panache as Stuff? A magazine which requires you to have just enough brain cells to watch “The Man Show?” A magazine who’s founder was the son of the founder of Penthouse? Now granted Gear and its poll does **NOT** make America look good. But you’ve also got to wonder about that Swede who convinced his boss that a subscription to Gear would be a good way to get into the mind of the average Anerican. And then went ahead and pubblished said research from Gear in his Newspaper. Sounds like one of the best snowjobs in the last few years. Interesting side note, current cover model on Gear? Professional Swedish babe Victoria Silvstedt. ---

We might not have the Britney Spears problem to worry about if producer/songwriter Max Martin – a Swedish dude – weren’t guiding her career. ---

Hoo-boy, I’d do her. But is she gorgeous, as some people purport her to be? No. Give me a Catherine Zeta Jones or an Angelina Jolie over that fake slut any day. 😛 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-americans-have-such-a-baaaad-taste/63884.md?page=2)
