It would be good if I could have some Europeans answering this thread. I am scared to go to the Europe section since they never really allow these types of discussions, you aren't allowed to talk about other races there at all in anyway.

I would say the light brown skin Indians are pretty common but most have dark brown skin
I agree, but there are a good number of lighter skinned ones that are not as dark. Most don't look WHITE but some do. This is according to my friend from India who told me there are some light skinned ones in the north and part of Pakistan. He said that most of the darker ones are from the south, which makes sense. My friend is from the North and most people think he's Mexican here if that helps with imagining.

On average, the British facial features might be "not attractive", but their overall presence is not.

Nobody does "ugly" like the Brits. They somehow can turn ugly into stunningly impressive by just "sitting there - ugly".

I, for example, understand theoretically that Camilla Parker Bowles qualifies as one of the ugliest women out there; and yet, when you look at her overall, the way she carries herself and all the jazz...she just exudes class period. Many Brits manage to do that even without the title.

1000 Megan Foxes put together cannot touch that stratospheric air with a ten inch poll.

The Brits are unique in being able to do "ugly" in the most beautiful ways - and I just find this incredibly fascinating. At the end of the day, ugly or not, they make pretty much everyone else look "lesser" than them - that's their darn amazing talent.

I find the opposite effect with Americans. When you get them down on paper (and remove the many layers of fat where necessary), I find Americans to be one of the most physically attractive people on Earth (yes, Americans of all sorts of races and ethnicities, provided they've been in the US for a few generations).
The mix of genes, something...I don't know what, has resulted in many individuals with very symmetrical and eye-candy type features. And yet, when you take their overall person, most manage to look...hmmm...let's say not at all elegant, gracious or refined. They have some very brutish, unpolished, diamonds-in-the-rough look about them.

Just my input, PC or not.

^ Very interesting analysis syracusa. I do think demeanour, personality.etc has a huge impact on how attractive a person seems. I find beautiful but bitchy girls unattractive to a point where they can even seem physically unattractive. An average person dressed in a classy manner, and who acts with class, grace and intelligence beats someone like Kim K who has to buy 'class.'

There is NO British look!!! The British are just as diverse in their looks as any other European!!!! The British are no more ugly or attractive than any other Nationality!!! Do you have any idea just how 'diverse' the British population is!?? Do you really believe that all women in Britain look like either Kelly Brook or Camilla Parker Bowles! How on earth can people make ridiculous stereotypical statements like this in the 21st century its just un-believable!!!! You CANNOT say 'Germans are more attractive than Poles' or that 'Americans are more attractive than Russians' for a start beauty is in the eye of the beholder! so therefore what one person finds attractive might just be a bit 'meh' to somebody else! Incidently the most attractive woman I've ever met is from Kent in the UK - that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of 'mingers' in Kent as well though!!

syracusa, thats crap. I can give you lots of examples of ugly people from your neck of the woods, south USA. But I'm not stupid enough to think a redneck moonshine brewer is the norm.

Of course there is such thing as "British look." ( You simply might not recognize it, being a Brit yourself)))
Not that ALL Brits fit into this look, ( or rather distinctive couple of different looks) but still overall it definitely exists.
And I agree with Siracusa that in physical sense of it Americans on average probably look the best out of all European people, yet they lack the charm and sophistication of Europeans, which at the end makes them look bland.
Polish women ( on average) do look better I think than German women, and German men look better than Poles when it comes to men.
When it comes to Russians - the more I look at all the available pictures, the more I recognize that they definitely have a huge variety of good-looking women ( of different ethnicities by the way,) comparably to Western Europeans I'd say. However when it comes to Russian men, they don't look too good at all in physical sense of it, but their distinct personalities compensate their looks in many ways, as it is a case with Europeans overall.

Even here in Australia and people here don't portray Irish as unattractive especially the women.
