"Dutch guys are so hot"

Edit Post

Hey I thought about something that I think nobody has picked up on.

Guys in Holland/Scandinavia are known to be the tallest, but you never hear girls say "Dutch guys are so hot" or "those Swedish guys are so fit". If country comes into play then it's usually Italian, French, Spanish, etc (i.e. countries where guys are much shorter, if not the shortest in the region).

Just wanted to say that because it seems EVERY thread always has guy that writes a "in Sweden" or "guys in Denmark" or some BS 'mommy never hugged me' post (you know who you are).

Well I live in Sweden so it's relevant.

Do you hear this from people who have actually visited France/Spain and Holland/Scandinavia? Because I hear a lot of people talking about how "beautiful" us swedes are -so much that I've begun to find it annoying.

They aren't talking about you (the men), they are talking about the woman (probably the reason why you are annoyed?), Scandinavian women are undoubtedly more attractive in general. Most of the guys are tall/big but also fat, pudgy, pale and boring as fk. I live in London, and never heard of a girl use Danish, Swedish, etc to positively describe a male.

Good examples would be Chile and Italy. Many people consider those places to have many attractive people but it's only 1 sided — Chile has attractive women but guys are ugly as fk and Italy has attractive men but women are ugly as fk. Again, Scandinavia we're only talking about the women when it comes to describing as your people as 'attractive'.

my friend sat on a plane towards  a Scandinavian country and he was perturbed. everyone was so fat and squeezed like a tuna in a plane.... fat and tall.

Hah, well I guess I learned something. People really aren't that fat though but I suppose stereotypes are stereotypes.

I guess they think italians, french or spanish guys are the hottest because scandinavian girls find fair hair and blue eyes so common and so they look for something more darker, maybe brunette. So I guess it doesnt have to do too much with height

No I've noticed girls talking about italian men, it's a cliché just like all british men are supposed to be posh with bad teeth, the dutch are liberal people in wooden shoes and the french are self absorbed artists. Silly stuff all arouond.

In the end it all comes down to personal preference, all these images like the romantic french guy or the passionate italians are rather sterotypes created by the movie industry than reality. Arguing about sterotypes is not really epedient in my eyes

My point was how so many people here point out the Dutch/Scandinavians as if they're winning a race of attractiveness. Like bro, are they really?

I really don't know if it makes sense to brand one population as "attractive" or "ugly"

What I can say is that scandinavians are a bit taller than other Europeans on average, except for the dutch who are the tallest in the world. Make of that what you will.
