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.
Lesbians?
I've never had it with American women.
“They have the lowest levels of concern in the world for what husbands, boyfriends and other male observers might think...”
And it shows.
English women don’t care much about cooking either. But a couple of pints at the club and they’re not looking so bad.
Even though I am of Asian ascent, I would think twice about marrying an Asian woman. She will kill you for even looking.......
I got one from Finland... I decided I was done with American women in college. I started seeing women from around the world and found American women to be pretty shallow in comparison. Granted this was in S.E. Kansas where a lot of women went to college to get their MRS.
He hasn't had much luck with the ladies, his first wife left him for a coke dealer, then he married a Russian mail order bride. She brought her whole family over then ditched him.
So he's trying again, this time in China.
I asked him if she spoke any English and he said "not much"... then he added, "I don't know if I want her to learn, either..."
I've always suspected he was a frustrated control freak.
Is it any wonder that the Russian & Ukrainian mail order bride businesses do so well? Not that I would go that route.... would be afraid of her whole family coming over to live with me.
That not-caring thing helps when you have teeth like they do.
Sounds like his bad luck with women is self inflicted.
That not-caring thing helps when you have teeth like they DON'T.
Do.. Don't.... Either way, it works.
RE: Her breasts.
Is that even anatomically possible?
For a big ‘ol gal like that?
Huh... you gettin' that too? Great minds...
Tranny perhaps?
