Posted 3 years, 4 months ago just before lunchtime by oso
A British friend of mine who I met while traveling is now doing exactly that in the United States. So, as I continue to ignore absolutely everything having to do with the Supreme Court (Senor Avocado, digo Abogado, is that not your department?), here is part of an email he just sent me with some first impressions of American women:
I would like to make a point, a very serious point, if i may. I shall firstly quote from your pevious email and then proceed to tear your presumption apart: “Have you finally realized that American girls are far better looking than the pudgy daughters of those who lost the revolution”.
What!!!???
Before i came here, my mind had been washed by the persistent marketing of American media through MTV and thelikes, leading me to believe the portrayed image that Americans are sexy and better looking. Bullshit! been here nearly a week and have not seen one pretty girl, not one!!! have seen a hell of a lot of shamelessley fat and obese people with equally as fat and repulsive children. It is a complete aesthetic offense and should be a crime. One in three Americans Americans weigh as much as the other two put together! The only reason there are fit people over here i have decided is due to the sheer quantity of people in te country. Its a lot like shooting a billion arrows at a target: even if you are a complete spaz 99.99% of the time and miss the whole taget completely, you are still going to hit the bullseye eventually. If you measure the attractiveness of the country in relation to its size then whilst England is probably about one in five are good looking, here is about one in a thousand. Thus you still have more, indeed you do, but its a mere drop in the ocean my friend. maybe i am just looking in the wrong places, i dony know. but so far, am unimpressed.
Yesterday afternoon I was stung by one of these while swimming:
That Jellyfish looks so sexual.
That observation just leaves me speechless. Either your friend is a guy desperately on the make (hence the obsession with good looking women) or really superficial. Sure we’ve got a little obesity problem (ok, a big one), but that’s because we eat lots of fast food and drive cars everywhere, since you simply can’t walk 55 miles to work. The Europeans have a build-in advantage because their cities are more pedestrian oriented, but they’re catching up with us real quick on the fast food front. Give ‘em 20 years and they’ll look like us. Then who’ll be laughing, brit boy?
but oso, it seems like at some point you realized that mexican girls are prettier than the american girls you boasted to your friend about. why not let him in on the secret?
LOL. Nationalism’s so silly.
Did you pee on yourself? It takes the burn away.
Take your friend to the Tavern on a Friday night.
that email was funny .. if nothing else.
i would like to say that as my preferences are in the vein of men, i do firmly believe we have better looking men than the british … and it’s the teeth, man. they seriously need more dental professionals over there.
Myke, I myself as a connoisseur of men agree with you. However, American men (ignoring meterosexuals) need to learn a thing or two from european men’s clothing style.
what ’s being fat or slim have to do with being ugly or pretty? i have seen a
bunch of people with nice faces and not so slim, anyway is pretty pathetic,
how he feels, shallow,prat!
We need to teach our men that there are other shoes besides tennis shoes and flip flops do not constitute evening wear.
Bobbo,
I did not pee on myself. Where’s Willie at? He was the only one who could drag me out to the Tavern on Friday nights.
Myke,
I’ve never really thought about American men versus British men. I do know they sound more intelligent when they speak, but I’ve learned it has nothing to do with what they say.
Elenamary,
You’re trippin’ my friend. British guys still wear those pants that aren’t quite pants but aren’t shorts either. And they try to pull of the continental European shoes … you know, the little leather tennis shoes things. Those work fine if your French or Swedish, but Brits can’t do it.
Luna Lovegood,
I was going to point out exacty what being fat or slim has to do with one’s (physica/sexual) attractivenss, but then I saw that part of your email address is “sexy knickers” so instead I shall agree with whatever you say. Prat is such a good word too. Are you English? I bet English girs tell their boyfriends off so much better than American girls.
Beckie,
I try to teach my fellow men how to avoid all situations with “evening wear.” (if it’s the evening, I try to wear nothing.)
Trying to set a record length for a comment (I know, I could never beat HP), I just got another email from another friend traveling in Central America. Unlike my British friend who races fancy sports cars and speaks in Queen’s Engish, my America friend is about as typically California as you can get. (He was raised in San Fran and now lives in San Diego which means he uses both dude and hella way too much) For your enjoyment:
