I thought midi was from UK, so she would be talking about your celebs not our. MJ wasn't particularly know for this good looks, well actually he was a decent looking black guy as opposed to a very unattractive white woman :-)

your statistics fail you again (but you are only 400% out) we are 7.9% non white http://www.statistics.gov.uk/focuson/ethnicity/yatterman1 wrote:Speaking of midi....I bet midi gets hit on like 9999 times a day being a young attractive asian girl in a 98 percent white country (England). Midi is probably just not into white guys (white guys LOVE asian girls..but (most) asian girls dont like white guys). When girls complain of lack of racial diversity it usually means "I dont like white guys and theres not enough asian/black/hispanic guys" Those are the in demand races....white guys are in overstock compared to the demand.

I noticed the English tend to have big noses, dorsal humps, and long midfaces very often. Sorry there was no way to say that without sounding "ZOMG RACIST!!" Is this observation correct? I have mistaken a couple englishmen as being one of my own for this reason. As i said before.....the swedish are the god tier when it comes to europeans. Short faces....softer smaller features.

Actually it is a pretty even split, and their partners are on about the same level of attractiveness. It's not like they are deformed or had a third eye or something; but they are not beautiful. My chronically single friends, who are beautiful, sweet, smart, funny etc (note the more average looking friends are all of these things too) are never approached, even though they should have no problems finding a date. One would think that a very attractive person would be bombarded with potantial mates, however this really does not appear to be the case.
I know for me, people tell me all the time I am beautiful, however I am often single and rarely ever get apporached by men. I think that has a lot more to do with insecurities than it does anything else. 93% of communication is nonverbal afterall, and we create in our lives and see what we believe to be truth.
I can totally relate to this. I am chronically single and have several friends who are beautiful, sweet, smart funny etc. who are also chronically single. And now we've all entered into our 30s which freaks guys out. I find that I meet a lot of young guys 25 and under and they are just looking to hook up whereas I am looking for a long term relationship. I never get approached by guys. If I want to talk to a guy I am the one who needs to approach them. I did this recently and the guy was good looking but only 24 and had no interest in taking me out on dates. I would just get random texts asking if I was in town. I always think am I doing something wrong? Am I not approachable? Maybe I should move out of the NYC/NJ area. I've always been very attracted to British & Irish guys due to their sense of humor. But it's just not realistic for me to move to another country to meet a guy.

English people I've known/meet. YOU are the one who said the english are "ugly" and have bad teeth....I was simply asking if my observation about the english commonly having long-midfaces and dorsal humps was correct. So please dont go playing the race card.

England is a country. "english" is a ethnicity. (and a nationality) For example...there are people who have been in the USA for many (3 or more) generations and have been 100 percent assimilated.....but they still identify as german/english/irish. If its not an ethnicity...how do you explain this? In the very least its a sub-ethnicity.

They're probably counting other white people as minorities. The germans and irish and such are minorities in england. Europe isn't like america...they don't group all white people together like they do here. Its like....koreans are considered a minority is Japan...they're seen as seperate. In the US they're both seen as the same thing.

Perfect. You prove my point. "Englishness" is a concept not a bunch of genes. I think you might be mistaking English faces for those of the Royal Family. It is only natural but I think they are not very English at all: shocking, I know. They belong to the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (or something) yatterman1 wrote:

I stand (somewhat) corrected:
According to the Office for National Statistics, based on 2006 estimates, 69.4 per cent of the 7.5 million inhabitants of London were White, with 58 per cent White British, 2.5 per cent White Irish and 8.9 per cent classified as Other White. Some 13.1 per cent are of South Asian descent, with Indians making up 6.5 per cent of London's population, followed by Bangladeshis and Pakistanis at 2.3 per cent each. 2 per cent are categorised as "Other Asian". 10.7 per cent of London's population are Black, with around 5.5 per cent being Black African, 4.3 per cent as Black Caribbean and 0.7 per cent as "Other Black". 3.5 per cent of Londoners are of mixed race; 1.5 per cent are Chinese; and 1.9 per cent belong to another ethnic group.[5] In January 2005, a survey of London's ethnic and religious diversity claimed that there were more than 300 languages spoken and 50 non-indigenous communities with a population of more than 10,000 in London.[6]
Thats a very high south asian population....whats the story behind that? They're counting east indians as asian?

bedtime
I was refering to the racially english...those who are decendents of those who are indigenous to england. Oh and I didnt say they all have big noses dorsal humps and long midfaces. I said they COMMONLY HAVE. I hate being misquoted. "commonly have" does NOT mean ALL mostly does NOT mean ALL Maybe you are right that I kinda got that idea from the faces of the royal family but i have noticed these traits in a lot of english people i have met as well.

Well, now that Y has disagreed with the thoughts and views of other people who have traveled/lived in countries where he has never physically been before, what is there left to say?

Again the issue here is that women have better options in North America. Ask any straight guy here and they will tell you that even chubby, homely girls can date men, even ones that look decent. while if you're a guy and you're below average or even average, you have zero options, unless you are rich or rank high up there on the social ladder. Roles have definitely been reversed. I also notice that most women above 40-50 are over-weight, often obese in North America, while their spouse is usally leaner or lean. Having lived in Europe - France and Eastern Europe, I can tell you that there, it's rare to find an obese girl, even chubby ones are hard to find, unless it's an 85 year old widow.
There are specific reasons for this role reversal, but that's a topic for another forum.
Hey Denton: I'm intrigued - what is the reason for this role reversal? Also Irish eyes - yes American men may not have personality and confidence but they are much nicer to women and treat them better than european men - I always tell my girlfriends - you know you are a masochist if you like and date European men LOL
