According to a poll of 5,000 globe-trotting Britons, Americans were the world’s most attractive people:
The United States, home to George Clooney and Jessica Simpson, came top in a poll of more than 5,000 globe-trotting Britons.
In second place was Brazil while Spain, which boasts Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz as one of its natives, was third.
About this, Toby Young — wanker he may be — writes:
I’ve spent almost 25 per cent of my adult life in America and continue to spend at least a month there every year and, frankly, this poll is complete balls. I suspect that the vast majority of the respondents have never set foot outside New York or Los Angeles. The moment you travel in the “flyover states” you encounter a race of Ork-like creatures with low foreheads, hairy hands and torsos that look as if they’ve been pumped full of custard.
Ouch!
Even the young, thin, rich Americans you encounter in New York and Los Angeles aren’t all that good-looking. They certainly present themselves well, investing a huge amount of time and money in personal grooming, but the raw material is often fairly poor. I wouldn’t dispute that there are some genuinely attractive people in both cities, but they are nearly all foreign tourists.
Double ouch!
Granted, Mr. Young doesn’t rate his own dongpo very highly, either:
Now, any Americans reading this will think, “You can talk! You come from a nation of Hobbits” and I wouldn’t dispute that. The same survey had Brits at number seven on the list, which vastly inflates our attractiveness.
True, but then again, you guys did produce Keeley Hazell (NSFW), so perhaps that inflates the numbers some.
The only non-Western nations on the 20 nation list were India (#8) and — sit down for this, dear readers — Japan, which came in at #15. The only explanation I can find for the latter is that, given the nationality of those polled, the bad teeth quite possibly reminded them of home.
Anyway, also on the not-related-to-Korea-really-but-fun-to-read front, we have the Nine Douchiest Things Ever Said by John Mayer.

“The moment you travel in the “flyover states” you encounter a race of Ork-like creatures with low foreheads, hairy hands and torsos that look as if they’ve been pumped full of custard.”
Yeah, and American men are no picnic, either.
Notes: 1. The only people who EVER use the term “flyover states” live in … flyover states. 2. The countries with the most attractive women in 2010 are China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, India, and Arabia – though not necessarily in that order. The Western country with the most attractive women, perhaps surprisingly, is Germany.
Most globe-trotting Brits are in fact drunk. Dangerously so.
Jessica Simpson has man jaw.
Keeleeeeeey Haaaaaaaaazell…ahhhh…I’m spent.
Except for the race stuff, I don’t see what’s so wrong with Mayer’s public comments.
Most people would think the crayon box analogy was dead-on if a woman said it about dating men. I don’t see him saying he is the only complex soul out there.
Similarly, most people would think the Obama Nobel / faux 9 incher analogy was hilarious if a Daily Show correspondent or Bill Maher said it.
Several of the other quotes seem like honest confessionals from a decent, if unusually expressive, person. Even though I agree that his lyrics are typically lame (my favorite performance of his being Paul Simon’s excellent “Boy in the Bubble”), I wish there were more celebrities like him, not fewer.
BTW, WTF does Benetton have to do with race issues? Wikipedia fails to clue me in.
Golly, Benetton is still around?
Perhaps this will answer your question.
LOL the funny thing is that the benetton family (a bunch of inbredsubpar IQ hicks if you ask me) come from the north east of Italy, same place where my mom is from btw…anyway the place is called the Alabama of Europe, whatever that means i suspect it’s not a compliment
Not Eastern Europe? Every woman was a supermodel in Czech Republic.
It is all plastic surgery and 화장발. Korea is getting there.
A strong case can be made for the Czech women.
(Though they’re in Central, not Eastern, Europe.)
National prosperity plays a key role in attractiveness, however. There’s no better example than Korea, where prosperity has made the women (and men) taller, healthier, better groomed, better dressed, and given them a 1st world sense of self-worth. In HongKong, the women have noticeably improved since my first visit there in the 1980′s. If despite the best efforts of Wall Street, prosperity continues to rise for the rest of us around the world, new nations will join the list of most attractive (and watch out for Russia); but as we’ve seen in the U.S. too much wealth makes a nation of overstuffed Orcs.
The DPRK could be on that list of attractive people if they weren’t such shut ins. As underfed as they look sometimes even for the elite, the people of Pyongyang are very attractive without plastic surgery.
Then again, who knows if they have selective breeding programs established up there.
NK women are brainwashed to kill any non-NKs when they hear recorded KJI’s voice on the phone. This can happen in the middle of sex.
Just think about that. You and this NK baby are going at each other and suddenly telephone call comes and you are dead.
And, she would not know why she killed you.
New “Manchurian candidate” is “PyengYang Mama”.
.The countries with the most attractive women in 2010 are China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, India, and Arabia
Either you are a freak or a blind man. Anyway, you’re way crazy.
Do you update your list annually? I didn’t realize whole populations of women changed that much from year to year.
Any list of that nature that does not include Brazil and Venezuela are not valid imo.
“I didn’t realize whole populations of women changed that much from year to year.”
See my comment @9. Prosperity-driven good health plays a big role.
“Either you are a freak or a blind man. Anyway, you’re way crazy.”
None of the above. Just trying to have some fun. I threw in Arabia, but who the hell knows? Perhaps Iran. And yes I ignored South America. Perhaps the hottest country on each continent or sub-region might be more fun. I’m surprised this thread hasn’t really taken off.
Any list of that nature that does not include Brazil and Venezuela are not valid imo.
You said it all (I’d add Spain as well).
“Most globe-trotting Brits are in fact drunk. Dangerously so”
Hey, you’re lucky the globe trotters are the softies, the real drinkers don’t make it onto the plane
I can agree with Japan being among the top. Japanese women are among the most beautiful on the planet.
“The countries with the most attractive women in 2010 are China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, India, and Arabia”
Certainly don’t think someone who’s actually been to all those places would say that!!
In any case of course the list is skewed, you’re typical Brit doesn’t get beyond the coastal resorts of Spain, Cyprus, florida etc, and most of the talent they see are other tourists from northern europe UK, Germany et al. The unattractive ones tend not to flaunt everything in a tight bikini. The rating for Japan come from manga and porn fans not real travelers, and the rating for Brazil is because every brit “knows that Brazilian girls on the Copacabana in Rio are seriously hot, has barely a handful of UK tourists have ever actually been there to find out for themselves (the multiple stops, expense, and sheer distance make it unrealistic for the average brit). Travelling Brits don’t often make it to where real people live.
My sis is an OB/GYN. Be advised that Brazilians have very deep vaginas. Their queefs echo.
Speak for yourself, not if they’re filled, only hollow spaces echo
Robert’s silliest post?
I think it is nuts for anyone to pontificate about which country has the hottest women. There are gorgeous women and hideous ones in every country. British people don’t all have bad teeth, not all Americans are fat lard arses.
I could generalise about Americans and say that they’re not a worldly lot, and that most of them don’t even have passports and the main reason for most Americans travelling anywhere is to either wage war on other countries or open up sweatshops in 3rd world countries, but I wouldn’t as that would be stupid and not true.
If I was to generalise I’d say the highest percentage of ‘hot’ women from any country I’ve travelled to is Holland. There are a lot of very intelligent and gorgeous women in that country, of course there are some hounds too.
When Koreans talk about ‘their’ women being the prettiest, when people say that all Japanese and British people having bad teeth, it is more a reflection on their own narrow mindedness than anything.
There are gorgeous and intelligent people in every country, there are idiots and ugly ones everywhere too. Generalising about people is really not a good idea and shows ignorance.
To quote “The Manchurian Candidate”:
