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.

Not to beat down American women, but it wasn’t until I visited Europe/ Australia that I realized most American women, at least late teens/20s are basically tomboys. They dress like guys (jeans, T shirt) and walk like guys. A sense of fashion and graceful movement is seriously lacking.
Perhaps.
I was assuming it was a gal.
Maybe not.
Agree on Colombian women. Have the right balance of sweetness and sexiness.
they must be babe bushkas
but they don’t shave...
They’re great until 3 years after marriage...then they tend to mysteriuosly not be getting along with you, file for divorce, obtain their green card and disappear...
LOL!
Rosamund Pike is not amused.
If anything ever happened and I had to marry again, it would be an Asian woman.
I am not alone in this line of thinking:
AmericanWomenSuck.Com
NoMarriage.Com
That's called backlash!
In the UK, the laws are so stacked against men and in favor of women, that it's disgusting!
There is a case now where a man divorced a cheating wife 30 years ago, who later ran off with yet another guy to Australia...
Years later, she's destitute, drunk and stupid and she sues him in court for more money and wins! 30 years after their divorce. The judge gave her more than a half of a million of this poor guy's dollars because he struck it rich and the old leech found out about it!
No wonder English women don't care... they only need to get one sucker to sign a marriage contract... just once! Then they own him!
They can also get alimony for life! Even if they move in with a boyfriend!
It's "Girls' Rules" in America too.
Just watch how equal women want to be in divorce court.
I thought it was Ozzy Osbourne
So, you get another then. That’s the mail order bride business, after all.
If the statement were true, why would British women then be the most likely to get cosmetic surgery - methinks the dollies are having someone on - preferring the men to think they're not concerned. Add that to traditional British arrogance, and as culturally-ingrained sense that as an Island nation, the alternatives are not acceptable because they're all WOGs, and presto!
I find that an admirable trait, women like that have a tendency to keep Papa happy. Women have a home, men only live there, Italian Proverb.
Punchlines you may have missed: “15% of the men enjoy the sensation and 85% just like the quiet.”
You guys don’t like American women? Fine!
More for me! XD
