Unlike the dime-a-dozen Cameron Diazs and Michelle Pfeiffers of the screen, it seems like the blondes of yesteryear's cinema were more beautiful, more talented, and less "cloned." Here's a couple, including Elizabeth Montgomery.

This one's a Frenchy all the way. You wouldn't see her at Mall of America in Bloomington MN.

I know that wasn't Samatha. But I was remembering how much I loved that show.

Elisabeth and the French lady are very pretty.

Exotic basically means 'foreign'.

yea, its just a relative term, and usually relative to the most common phenotype..

For some people, the last type of partner they want is the type of people they grew up with, so its a useful signal.

I thought exotic meant looking something completely different than what you are.

You have a different look and no one knows your ethnic background from first glance or by guessing.

Well, if one wanted to get technical, everyone except the Natives are from somewhere else. The US is a country built on immigration.

This certainly describes me.

It's more relative to what's around you than what you are.

If one wanted to get really technical, it's unlikely that human life developed in the Americas. So, even they are are foreign since they also migrated.

Yes, we do love getting technical. I suppose if we go there, then we are all Africans.

Better polish my ebonics.

So, if a girl calls herself this online, is it pretty much a given that she's simply trying to gain the attention of a white guy (probably an uncultured one at that)? I mean, in this day and age of diversity and mixed races, for me to call a girl exotic would be like admitting I haven't traveled the world and interacted with different types other than my own kind.

It just seems silly to me, being in LA, because there's so much diversity here. Your mileage may vary.

I wonder, do guys ever get called exotic?

A man, who was born and grew up somewhere other than the US and is now living in the US would seem exotic to me. And I think girls who emphasize "exotic" are trying to make themselves seem sexually intriguing and alluring. It just seems very superficial.
