Nordic men and women the most beautiful in the world
http://www.nationell.nu/2009/11/12/nordiska-kvinnor-och-man-vackrast-i-varlden


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.

The five best looking and ugliest of each gender category:

Men

Highest percentage of votes
1st Sweden 65 percent.
2nd Brazil 45 percent.
3rd Denmark 40 percent.
4th Italy 39 percent.
5th Portugal 37 percent.


Least percentage of votes
1st Poland 9 percent.
2nd Russia 9 percent.
3rd Britain 12 percent.
4th Germany 15 percent.
5th India 15 percent.

Women

Highest percentage of votes
1st Norway 76 percent.
2nd Sweden 68 percent.
3rd Iceland 66 percent.
4th Brazil 45 percent.
5th Russia 44 percent.

Least percentage of votes
1st Germany 13 per cent
2nd Britain 15 percent.
3rd China 15 percent.
4th South Korea 15 percent.
5th Lithuania 15 percent.

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

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! :p

Keep in mind the other factors that have an obvious impact to these numbers: whether people have a realistic self-image about their looks, and how many just above average looking people will value the possibility of getting in against the disappointment of being rejected (and how bad is being rejected to them). And of course the perception of those who are already there and voting.

I have a hunch that there might be huge differences in behaviour between countries with this kind of things - especially between countries like Sweden and Brazil. And that those who apply there are probably an unbelievably shallow bunch. Most likely full of chavs. :p

Strange but true. People hate gypsies, for example, but like latino types, which aren't quite different. In forums you'd often come across opinions such as "Mixed race people are the most beautiful ones".

Count me in "ordinary people" (it's still way better than to be a racist failure).

I'm usually not fond at all of Scandinavian women, I totally disagree that they are supposed to be the "most attractive in the world", they lack hotness. Though when a woman is attractive, she's attractive, even if she's Scandinavian.

Here in Sweden, I think that it is quite common for women to say that they like Mulattoes and Latinos. Or just "dark hair and dark eyes". But I think women in general prefer the opposite to what they say. Kind of like how they say they like nice guys but often go with the bad guys. :p

I wouldn't say race mixing is very common in Sweden. Sure it does exist, but it wouldn't be as common as people sometimes claim. You often think that it is common, but that is because you only pay attention to the interracial couples you see.

A Scanian nationalist comrade of mine (not Brännvin ;)) said that when going out in Malmö, the town in Sweden with the highest percentage of non-whites and Muslims, it is common to see perhaps twenty interracial couples. But looking at the whole picture, you will also see hundreds of non-mixed ones. He also said that he thinks the town has started to become more segregated during later times. :thumb001:

But this is quite off topic.

No necessity for the paranoia :D

In general, people choose people from their own culture and ethnicity, nothing to do with racialism as some posters on the Apricity would argue for ;). The issue is much more complex in real life than what is written in a forum. I feel more comfortable physically and psychologically in my day life with women of my ethnicity, honestly I would have very difficult for a relationship with those of different origins.

This is the natural way of things, however the problem is that many people today turn against the nature. The concepts of relationship, physical attraction, love and sex are quite wicked.
"Love" (I don't like this word) is built mainly on understanding and similarities. You can't never reach that level of understanding and similarity with someone from other ethnicity. Our behavior, verbal skills, world view and way of thinking are linked with home education, therefore with your certain roots.
So, even if we are blind about appearance and biological differences, mind differences still stay.

Any modern, antitraditional civilisation has ceased to function in this way, and that accounts for the social disintegration of the West.

I also do not agree with the idea that love is based on similarities. That would make it impossible to account for love between man and woman in the first place.

About myself I've always been attracted to my fellow phenotype , that is Med in a broad meaning.
Scando females are very good but generally not "hot" to my taste , their light features make them look too angelic.

Hell no, Ambrosio is another androgynous model. I much prefer these kinds of Brazilian women (see pics below). Said this, the good thing about Brazilian women is not that they're particularly pretty, it's that they're hot and proud of their curves. They're also aware of the impact these curves have on us (men), and make good use of it.

I thought everybody already knew about this?:noidea:

Lets see.

That Scandinavians looks better on average depends on the higher sexual dimorphism found here, lighter complexion and finer facial bone structure. If you then add the still dominating "western" media which still is dominated by "white" faces, this is the end result.


Allesandra Ambrosio, she is attractive, but no tits, no hips and a boyish face. You guys are gay.:rolleyes2:

Ok, my two-penneth worth.

I think that Brazilians look after their bodies and take pride in their appearance so that is why they are gorgeous, and in Scandinavia there is an outdoors all-weathers culture and actual traditions of healthy eating. Also in Italy, girls and boys dress, to a degree that we in the UK would consider entirely risible.

Britain is somewhat fugly because we spend too much time indoors, eating fried foods, moaning about the weather.

'Binge drinking' is the national sport and probably has been for thousands of years. We leave work, and instead of going to dinner we head to the bar and get drunk as quickly as possible and THEN eat something really disgusting before we crash out at home.

So Brits are blubbery, self-deprecating, alcoholic gluttons, who do not really care SO much about their appearance.

London is full of people with nice clothes and make-up on, but underneath people are running their toxic bodies into the ground. Every single bank note in circulation has traces of cocaine on it. Nobody cares! Party party party!

It is part of our culture not to be too smart or too beautiful to the extent that people who are, are considered to be almost untrustworthy.

I had some American guests, and was amazed at how after the smallest snack, they would *rush* to the bathroom to clean their teeth... Not even dentists do that in the UK.

I see nowhere the beautiful Central Europeans, in women I believe Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic and Ukraine don't really have competition, don't get me wrong, I fancy Scandinavian women a lot, but they are mostly look-a-likes, I consider facial diversity is way more exciting, and you can find plenty of this in Central and Eastern Europe (one minute you can see a stunning tall blond with pale skin, next minute you can see a beautiful short brunette with tanned skin).

I don't think the reason is where the site is based. Generally speaking Scandinavians are very good-looking, and the average is very high, in other words there are many good-looking people per capita, so the result isn't surprising. I don't think the average is nearly as high in the countries you mentioned. Sorry. Especially not for the women.

Almost all women from those countries who look good look more or less Germanic/Nordic, I think. At least in the photos people often choose to post of them. Since there are more Germanics/Nordics in Northern Europe it is only natural that there are more people here who are very attractive. The more Eastern, or Slavic type, is not as appreciated as the Nordic type, I think, generally speaking.

Those people you mentioned may be more diverse but that in itself has nothing to do with whether or not someone is good-looking. By the way, there are many gorgeous Scandinavian brunettes so we may be more diverse than you think. ;)

I don't think the reason is where the site is based. Generally speaking Scandinavians are very good-looking, and the average is very high, in other words there are many good-looking people per capita, so the result isn't surprising. I don't think the average is nearly as high in the countries you mentioned. Sorry. Especially not for the women.

I dont know if they are the most beautiful or not, it´s more a personal opinion i think. For me there are many good looking people there, at least in the places that I´ve visited, Stockholm and Oslo.
The guys were good looking too, although some of them had a semi-gay look :confused: with weird hairstyle like a Final Fantasy character, gross fake tan and too skinny.
Fortunately some of the girls liked the med types too :D

I can find people I consider attractive everywhere in Europe. Beauty is personal criteria and personal trait, not ethnic. On the other hand people often find attractive individuals whose look is similar and well known to them. For example once I heard a Chinese guy saying that European women are too similar and therefore unattractive - something we claim for Mongoloids.

This isn't a "study" or even a survey, it's based on the number of people who applied to some idiotic dating site intended for "beautiful people" vs. the number who actually made it into the site. They post their picture, then people rate them and decide whether or not they make it in. So only 13% of German women who applied were deemed "beautiful" enough, etc.

And anyway, people tend to think Brazilians are oh-so hot because of their famous models and beauty queens, when the reality is that most are average or ugly just like the rest of the world. I've seen plenty of normal, non-famous Brazilians and most aren't what I'd consider good-looking by any means.

It's not like a competition or something, but your assumption that people like Nordic people more is not totally valid. I happen to live in Transylvania and guys from here like girls who have nice Sun tan on them, they don't like "zombie looking girls" (I don't tend to agree with them totally on this one). I never really heard all my life a guy from here who would mention Nordic women as highest beauty standard. I believe that also in rest of South and even East Europe guys tend to like brunettes. Nordic girls may be well appreciated in your native lands, but in this part of Europe guys like totally differently looking women than the Nordic women. For instance I am also a big fan of Nordic looking women, a beautiful tall blond with green eyes is absolute lethal on me :D

In my experience men in Southern Europe go absolutely crazy when they see a naturally blonde, fair and tall, feminine Scandinavian girl with fine facial features and blue eyes, typical for our region.

Ah, but the true nordic woman can seem quite asexual.

The fantasy is of blonde hair and blue eyes (attributes of youth, not just 'race') and of large breasts and other feminine features, which are not common in nordic types.

Of course, they are put up to it by the sexualist media, which commodifies beauty.

Yes, they are beautiful in their own way, but foreign to me... Britain is Celtic, mostly.

The latter-day obsession with blondism and paedomorphism is something you should reject.

Anyway, as I said, the pornographic fantasy is blonde hair, blue eyes and big tits. Does that even exist beyond the surgeons' knife?

We should be disgusted that women are being depersonalised in this way.

We have creatures like Paris Hilton who bleach their hair and wear blue coloured contact lenses to take advantage of the depigmentation fetish...

I'm not as insecure as you are, that's for sure. Just go on be a rude, stupid bitch, if that's what you feel like. 'Your kind' is Swedish woman, or at least I thought so. You make a very bad example for it by accusing people of being 'jealous' just because they don't adore your kind. My kind is Swedish man.

If the girl is very pretty/hot, you are right. But the same happens in Scandinavia in the other way, it´s called "exotism". When i was in Norway for example, one of my friends who went with me was a nice spanish girl very medish looking (long dark hair, tanned, curvy...) and believe me that she got A LOT of attention from those tall blond guys :D

Scandinavian women have beauty, humor and intelligence as no other. Danish women tops for their flirt and playfulness.

You tell me you know the taste of men from this region better than me, huh? I respect you are very proud over you heritage, but don't speak in the name of people where you lived for short time or perhaps only been in visit. The asexual epithet is also what I heard from various romanians for example, when in a conversation I put swedish, norwegian women in the "most beautiful women top", I was attacked, them saying I don't know what I'm talking about, since many of them are fat and man-looking (generally all Western and North European women are considered this way), of course I stood to my initial opinion, that scandinavian women are very beautiful, but not many men agree with this over here, russian, czech, ukrainian, romanian, hungarian, moldovian women are seen the most attractive over here, it's just how it is, why would I make up such things, and I repeat, you shouldn't take this as a competition.
