UK women 'least likely to care what men think'

Russian women are more worried about a man's seal of approval
Frank Sinatra advised in the song Wives and Lovers: "Don't send him off, with your hair still in curlers. You may not see him again."
However, it seems that British women couldn't care less after a survey showed they are the least likely to put effort into their appearance for the sake of men.
They have the lowest levels of concern in the world for what husbands, boyfriends and other male observers might think, with only 51 per cent caring whether men liked their appearance, the study said.
Japanese women were second bottom with 53 per cent followed by Americans at 56 per cent.
Indian, Spanish and Korean women were far more worried about having a man's seal of approval, but it was Russia which topped the poll of 10,000 women, with 77 per cent saying that they cared what their men thought.
Janet Saunders, of Clinique, the cosmetics company which commissioned the study, said: "British women like to feel confident and beautiful for their own pleasure and take pride in their outward appearance." Susan Quilliam, a relationship psychologist said: "It's a delicate balance. It's a positive thing in an equal relationship to reference the other person's tastes and preferences sometimes."
The survey also showed, that Britons are among the keenest on cosmetic surgery. Thirty five per cent of British women said they have gone, or are willing to go, under the knife for beauty.
Only Korean women were more likely to consider surgical enhancement, while just three per cent of Indian women condone it.
The survey also asked which of the 12 countries polled had the most beautiful women. Although most found their country's own women the best looking, Britons rated Italian and Indian women more beautiful than themselves.
Yup, they should get themselves a nice Muslim woman who can’t speak a lick of English. That can be part of our war on the “religion of peace”. Dump the weird losers on their women. Hee hee.

Actually there’s something very wonderful about you English people. Of course I’m prejudiced, I’m married to a Brit. I find/found him to be much more appealing than any American I ever dated (and no it was not the accent either).
Yes, I was relieved Mamzelle spoke up. It gets old. And I totally agree with your take on El Rushbo. Love him, professionally...pity him personally.
Wow. My first double post. Sorry!
Wow. That puts it perfectly. Ass cracks showing used to be an embarrassment even to plumbers but now its all the rage.
One of the main things that drew me to my wife was her sense of grace. Oh she may burp at home or whatever, she's not so delicate that she wilts in the sun, but she carried herself very graciously.
Its great to see beautiful women with class and style. It shows she respects herself but also that she respects other people.
I know two men who’ve gone the imported bride route, and in both cases it ended in disaster, although I’m not sure whether it was more a disaster for the men or the women. But I can say that one of the men was a bona fide loser and the other was - at best - a “character.”
These mail-order brides will take any loser for the financials and the green card.
Well, start with Hummer americanus (aka Maine Lobster), wild rice, corn (maize to you), tobacco (pace Kipling).
I'm much an Anglophile (and appreciative of my own forebears contributions as sureties at Runnymeade in 1215), but the truth is traditional English cuisine is not much. Oh, some of the cheeses are superb, and there's wonderful fresh fish (trout, and Scottish salmon), but boiled beef, fish and chips, and steak and kidney pie do not a healthy cuisine make.
Of course, the upper classes never at traditional English food, being much influenced by France in matters of taste (and often speaking only French) from time of William the Bastard and his crew took charge of things.
Here is the romantics question you have to ask yourself...
forget the where she is,
Would a real man travel to the ends of the Earth to find the woman who will be the love of his life? THE special someone who will be his life’s desire?
The obvious answer is yes.
The person who thinks all women are the same and interchangable will say just find a “same as the rest” women close at hand.
Why should anyone limit themselves to a 50 mile radius of old? Men have the whole planet to find that one woman. (same for you ladies, if you are fed up with girlymen emasculated by feminism)
Not to say anybody will not find something close at hand, just saying the whole planet is now open for the quest.
Your better off. If you ever get married, chances are THEY will want a divorce after a few years, take all of your sh!t, take your house, your kids and everything you own. And then demand money from you for damn near the rest of your life.
Buyer beware.
Chili-cheeseburgers, hotdogs (with chili), french fries, ice cream.......
This thread has great potential.
;)
With her size, they may well be tucked under her arms. Think ‘water wings’.
well at least they always seem trying to pull up their pants. Its hard when your fat and crouching all day.
But I do know the magic formula for finding a beautiful women, if not attracting her: walk into an elevator and fart; when the door opens, a beautiful woman will walk in.
LOL. Better hope someone is exiting so you can point to them as they leave while holding your nose.
Pizzas, Chimichangas, BBQ, anything to do with Lobsters.
We’re doing awright!
