My son lives in Europe and said he will wait until he gets stateside to find a woman to marry. European women are not his type. They have so little clue of the real world.
It's amazing someone can live in another country and still have no clue about it.
One thing everyone on this thread needs to take into account is that they are making sweeping generalizations, which is a logical fallacy.
In my observation, American women are not less attractive than women anywhere in the world; in fact, American women are sought after by men in other countries who disparage their own women. I've heard British men go on and on about how attractive American women are while they criticize their own women.
It's really about having a skewed perspective: the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
I work in an international environment, outside the US. I have about 50 female colleagues from around the world: there are overweight and obese women from all over the world, not just America. In fact, there are only about 4 Americans and only one is overweight.
As far as American men not being overweight:
For example, a man who is not looking at American men in general, assumes they are all slender and nice looking, while a woman who is looking at men in general sees that most seem to be overweight and not nice looking.
The fact is that obesity is as prevalent in American men as in American women.
In fact, here is a statistic you guys need to be aware of--
Obesity and overweight statistics by gender in the US:
United States -- Men: 70.0% Women: 57.6%
You guys need to get a grip on reality and stop believing in stereotypes and logical fallacies.
