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.
