Swedes vs Danes. Who do you think is more attractive on average?

[Watersater79]

Sorry, I know this almost sounds like a repeat of my other thread, but I was re-watching Borgen the other day and it did strike me how well Danes do on the front of facial aesthetics, even though they are, simultaneously, the most facially robust of all Germanic countries, with the biggest heads. I still think that Swedish women are probably the finest in Europe, but Swedes as a whole are pretty gracile/narrow-faced, or at least much less 'robust' than Danes, who still manage to be lumped in with the Swedes on the aesthetic front. Once again, in the case of the Danes, this should be considered an aesthetic achievement surely? To some women, Swedish men would look/appear less 'masculine' than Danish men? I admit that heavily CM-admixed women are not really my type which discounts plenty from Denmark.

...and yes, I know these questions are kinda silly, but I have an obsession with this matter. I just have to get it off my mind somehow and what better way than to do so through the form of a TA thread.

Swedes. Now you can get back to sleep

[Guthrie]

I would say Swedes, for the reason you said. They are gracile by Scandinavian standards, but not that gracile by general Euro standards.
Globally speaking, Borreby is less attractive than other phenotypes found in Scandinavia, and it is more common among Danes than Swedes.

[Watersater79]

You find Danes too harsh-looking?

[Oliver109]

Lol what is it about Scandinavia that you find so fascinating?

[Tooting Carmen]

Lol what is it about Scandinavia that you find so fascinating?

Their exceptionally high standards of living? The fact that the vast majority speak English despite it having no official status whatsoever? The fact they are the only countries on Earth where blonds are the majority, or at least a plurality?

In s
answer to the OP question: maybe Danes, judging by the footballers from both nations.

[Blondie]

The fact they are the only countries on Earth where blonds are the majority

Its not fact, blondes are not majority in Scandinavia.

[Tooting Carmen]

Its not fact, blondes are not majority in Scandinavia.

Well a plurality (40% or so).

[Blondie]

Well a plurality (40% or so).

I think its just 30%.

[Tooting Carmen]

I think its just 30%.

Nah, that's German and Dutch level.

[Blondie]

Nah, that's German and Dutch level.

Not really, Germany is just 10-15% blonde.

[Tooting Carmen]

Not really, Germany is just 10-15% blonde.

If you mean light and ash blonde then yeah. But the percentage is a lot higher when darker shades of blonde are included.

These are light brown, not blonde. Im talking about real blondes, like this:

Swedes, but both nations tend to be good looking

[tropicalslavic]

More robust + more likely to have darker pigmentation = Danish is my answer

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

Its not fact, blondes are not majority in Scandinavia.

what is the % of natural blonds in Hungary would you say ?

[Watersater79]

Swedes, but both nations tend to be good looking

Scandinavian beauty is a different kettle of fish to Slavic beauty, but yet one usually ascribes to both a triple whammy of blue eyes, blonde hair and high cheekbones. Do Danish/Swedish women compare to Polish women?

[BrandenburgGaming]

its danes for me, swedes can look quite uncanny. I also hate this orange look that they can have, no idea how common it is in denmark, but i only ever see it in dutch and swedish people

[Nurzat]

Danes all the way, especially Stig Tofting types

I thought you told me that you found Danes were too (on average) harsh-looking, more-so than northern Germans. It's the fact that you highlighted how the two groups were not even comparable (Danes and their southern neighbors).
Could you elaborate when you talk of the 'uncanny' element.... You are certainly going to please the Finns (and the Danes/Norwegians with that statement, hahaha.

well i didnt mean harsh in a negative manner necessarily

[Voskos]

Swedes by far. Look + mental.

[Watersater79]

It's probably just a general vibe you are referring to but would it be possible if you could elaborate on this 'uncanny' aspect?

[Melkiirs]

Not really, Germany is just 10-15% blonde.

In terms of Fischer #9-26 that might be about accurate for parts of Southern Germany, but not the whole country. Pfitzner found 16.5% Fischer #9-26 among Alsatian adults. In Northwestern Germany it is significantly higher than this. It runs up to 2/3rds among young adults in Scandinavia (Aust-Agder in Norway by Bryn).

Note that this shade in the given lighting qualifies as blond according to Fischer #9-26:

probably just some finnish or saami influences, i wouldnt know what else it is, its just faces you wouldnt see around here. As in, it would be utterly impossible for someone from here to look like that. Some germans can look italian, french, polish or whatever but some swedes have this extremely distinctive look (thats probably in norway as well)

[New brother]

Every person I know who is of only German descent is blonde.

[tropicalslavic]

Pack it up boys this guy single-handedly destroyed all brunette Germans. They're extinct now. An anecdote that can commit genocide...

[Blondie]

what is the % of natural blonds in Hungary would you say ?

I would say 5%

The problem is this guy is not blonde, but light brown.

Depends on what is your definition of blonde. Germans are not 100% blonde and not majority blonde.

[oszkar07]

I prefer Swedes over Danes, looks wise I feel Swedes are more variable and attractive.

Danes to me lean more towards the English that are more Germanic looking.

I find Swedes a little more interesting than other Scando's because of their history going into Russia and their history with Finland.
They are Scando's all the same but with a little more eastern leanings and influences.

[Sorab12]

Swedes imo but not by a large margin . Anyways Connie Nielsen is very attractive

She just looks like a generic blonde lady to me. Brigitte Nielsen on the other hand (talking of Nielsens)...
