Nordic men and women are the most beautiful in the world. That shows a survey by the online dating site Beautifulpeople.com.

Beautifulpeople.com is a bit different than other dating sites. To become a member they require that you are physically attractive and good-looking. Might seem shallow and mean to some, some might think. But not when it comes to people from Scandinavia. The list of presumed people is mainly topped by a great number of Scandinavian men and women.

No less than 65 percent of all the Swedish men who applied for membership were presumed. The number is higher than among any other group, and Sweden takes the first place among guys. Russia only have nine percent of men who were presumed. Great Britain comes marginally better with 12 percent.

Among women, the Swedish girls comes in second place with 68 percent presumed. But silver is not so bad when you read about the group who takes the gold, namely our ethnic neighbors in the West: Norwegians! The Norwegian woman is so attractive that 76 percent of the other members want to see more of her. But that's not all. On the women's side, the Nordics makes a hat trick and brings home even the third place when Iceland is at 66 percent.

At the bottom of the placements, you find men and women from countries like South Korea, Lithuania, Russia and Poland.

Beautifulpeople.com was founded in Denmark and since its inception, almost two million people have been rejected on the grounds that their appearance does not meet the criterias. The website has four million visitors each day.

"It may be morally ugly to our critics, but our growing success is a beautiful truth," writes Greg Hodge, chief of the site, in a press release.

I'd pick the Swede over the Norwegian. But Danes are serious competition and I think I'd place them second, if not first.

As far as I know, some Norwegian women seem to be very fond of Swedish men. Perhaps these placements might have something to do with it?

Speaking of personal experience?

Speaking of personal experience?

Not in personal, no. But I have seen it been written time after time on the Internet, and I think one or two Norwegian Slitz models also made comments about that somewhere.

It is in the eye of the beholder (or beer-holder, in some cases).

Who cares?

FUCK YOU!

I am surprised not to find Danish women on the top 5, considering the fact that they look exactly like those from highscoring Norway.

But how do the voters pick their choice? Most of them probably never even met a Norwegian woman - and certainly never visited her country. I guess most of the votes are based on vague ideas on how things are supposed to be, rather than personal experience. If this is the case, then it is not surprising to find the Nordic women on the top 5, as the Nordic ideal of beauty is generally accepted in most cultures.

Swedish men are NOT more beautiful than Danish men, though. This is an insult against my sex and nationality!

Maybe it is the metrosexuality of Swedes that you seem to lack of that plays a part in it?

I'm a bit surprised, I thought that generally were preferred latino/med men with dark hair, suntan etc... you know, but nice one since I'm not really like those.

About the women I agree, nordic women are the most beautiful imo too.
