My elder son would give you an argument there, he met a German girl while in the military out there, married her, and never came back.
Can't fault the Swedish girls though, they smile a lot, and all seem attractive.

You don't think the average 30-year-old woman in Stockholm or Copenhagen or even Hamburg dresses a bit different than the average 30-year-old woman in Marseille or Rome or Barcelona?

To me, I see a difference. The Copenhagen look would be less form-fitting clothes, less makeup, more sensible "natural look". No hint of "sexy" anything. The Barcelona look would be clothes that flatter the body more (especially butt and chest), more makeup, more colorful attire, more feminine shoes, etc.

Basically the woman in Copenhagen looks ready to do a hike in the forest, and the woman in Barcelona looks ready to go out for the evening.

In North America you have the same thing. Women in San Francisco or Seattle, speaking generally, dress in that Nordic style, while women in Miami or New York have a very different style, a little sexier (or at least attempting to be sexier). I think that would be regarded as "tacky" in Stockholm, and people may think you're an Eastern European prostitute or something.

In the US women dress and behave like prostitutes no matter which city, lustfully and tasteless. Because from young age they are being treated like ones - via thing they call cheer-leading, truly disgusting.

Well, I'd certainly never say that about Russian women. They're fine looking and, at least among my Ruskie relatives I can say they've never been cheerleaders. They did leave their babushkas in the old country though.

I found German women to be great looking and a lot of fun.

Might well dress up differently. Partly it might be of climatological factors. If it's 5C and raining you certainly dress up differently than when it's 25C and sunny.

It's a very false stereotype that Nordic women don't dress in feminine clothes, have some kind of androgyne look, and don't wear makeup. Most women use feminine well-fitted coloured clothes, and I see high heels every day. But there's a big difference in looking feminine and stylish or looking slutty.

If you claim that women in Copenhagen looks ready to do a hike, I'm quite certain that you haven't ever visited the city.

This has nothing to do with Houston and everything to do with you. When I am in Houston, I always have someplace interesting to go and something interesting to do.

I have visited Copenhagen three times, and Denmark countless times (as we used to summer on the Danish coast/islands) and yes, I would say many Danish women prefer the natural/outdoorsy look and appear ready to go hiking. Northern German women dress the same.

You simply aren't being honest if you say there is no such Nordic look.

And we favor Germans very highly.

Canada, Great Britain Are Americans' Most Favored Nations

Can anyone post a picture about this "Nordic" look??

Then we have been to completely different Copenhagen's. In my experience 30-years old women in Copenhagen dress exactly what I would expect from women that walk and shop around. The main difference to a major city in Germany: A significant higher percentage of the women in Copenhagen is more fashionable dressed, whereas in Germany you will find a higher percentage of more casual or chavvy dressed women.

I would never describe the women in Copenhagen to be dressed like someone who wants to hike in a forest. In Germany you would find many 40-60 years old women, that would fit into this description.

You believe there is a significant difference in woman's attire between Hamburg and Copenhagen? But not between Copenhagen and Barcelona?

Hamburg and Copenhagen, while obviously different countries, are very similar in terms of geography, climate, history, and even culture. If you're in the Frisian islands you can't even tell which country you're in (could be Germany, Denmark or Netherlands). Not sure why you think that there are radical differences in attire between these general areas.

Most people in this part of Europe are tall, fair-haired, serious, historically Protestant, and, yes, practical dressers, for the most part. They are not known for dressing like they're going to a club in Ibiza. Of course these are generalities and there are many exceptions.
