Frankly, Lithuanian people are sometimes overly confident....and they blame everybody else on problems in Lithuania (or course also Poles since Poles and Lithuanian had a kingdom).... here is a story: Lithuania’s Ombudsman for Children, visiting Ireland in June to investigate complaints of mistreatment of her countrymen, told reporters that many of the estimated 30,000 Lithuanian children in Irish Republic schools felt unsafe and that violence was common. In one Irish town, she said, “ Lithuanian children are beaten only because they are more beautiful than Irish ones,” and in general, she said, Lithuanians are disliked because “we dress well instead of looking the part of poor immigrants.” www.kansascity.com/238/story/228563.html |

Jaga,
I can give independent confirmation to that observation. Lithuanians ARE far more attractive than Irish! I have that from the best of sources, my Lithuanian lady friend. I have know her since 1993 and rely on the 100% honesty I have observed in that time. She does not let ego nor politics get in the way of simply stating the truth as she sees it, and I know her well enough to rely on what she says.
She has been in Dublin for many months now, working for that dream apartment in Vilnius, and her 17 year old daughter recently arrived to take on a job some 20 km away. She says her daughter almost causes accidents and certainly causes a lot of hard feelings by just being so beautiful, especially in Irish eyes accustomed to 'dumpy' women who don't know how to dress.
I am not in the least surprised. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were packed with the highest concentration of beautiful women I have ever experienced. Of course, I have only been to Poland once for a quick over night trip, so I cannot compare them to Polish women!
Kai the Diplomat
but this is the truth.

My sister in law also stated that British women are ugly compared to Polish women. Still, even if Lithuanian are pretty, blaming British for mistreatment of Lithuanians since they are pretty is a bit of exaggeration...

Gloucester must have the vast majority of ugly British women as I have met thousands of beautiful British women, particularly in the North of England, not the puffy South!!!!

Leslie - a connoisseur Leslie, frankly, after my sister in law wrote about British women being ugly I was also a bit upset. Of course every nation has its own general standard physical appearance type but it is not necessarily that there are no pretty people in some nations or ethnic groups compared to others. The "beauty" standard is hard to define. |

Of course every nation has its own general standard physical appearance type but it is not necessarily that there are no pretty people in some nations or ethnic groups compared to others. The "beauty" standard is hard to define. I do agree with Jaga on this. Although, personal experience with Brit. tourist is positive. To my eye, the ladies were with both physical and mental appeal. I was struck perhaps first of their manner of speaking, a little difficult for me to understand their English, but with a careful ear, they were interesting. I do think though, beauty is in the beholder. For each person in self, carries with them a particular beauty of their own making. Some is the manner of walk/speaking/spoken thoughts, some times just sitting with a quite face in thought. And for some unknown manner of being, a lady with her manner of dress and walk, will incite the male senses with out an explanation, just a electricity between both people. My weakness of that I keep to my self. I have always been intrigued by a lady with the dress and manner of the long past 30s. The floworal print dress slightly above the knees, a slight curl in her hair and a hat the ladies worn in those days of style. On more then a few occasions, I have seen ladies dressed as above, and very nicely I may add. So far though in the states, not so, I was very careful to keep my admiration to my self. Well, perhaps not entirely to my self. Whilst walking and thinking of nothing but random thoughts, my attention was drawn to a similar lady as above. She walk with such a pretty swing, I was unable to remove my attention from her as she walked past, and in few view of some bye standing people, I walked into a light standard. That hurt, and it was very embarrassing. {was it worth it? Yes, absolutely it was worth every second of pain and embarrassment}. Charles |

Charles,
In general I think the English and the Irish are not a very pretty race, as I have seen a lot of them in and outside England they are not the most handsome people on earth to put it mildly. But on the other hand you have very hansome British ladies and gentlemen as I observed British girls and women and as Dutch women and girls I know checked out British lads. What I find more important is the fact that I like the English culture, civilization, Oxford English, humor, fine arts, theatre, history, literature, country, cities and colonies (South-Africa, Australia, New Sealand, Canada) a lot. I prefer British English above the Nasal, monotone American English.
This is due to my British English lessons in highschool, a summer course in Oxford (England), and decades of BBC television and British detectives, Shakespeare plays and British comedy on Dutch television. An example when an American talkshowhost, actor or politician holds a monologue or a discussion with a compatriot I can fell asleep behind my television set. A BBC show or political debate I can follow longer, because I enjoy the English more. Orfcourse this is a matter of taste, custom and personal preference.
I have Dutch friends, educated, nice and cultural people who prefer American English, because of it's pragmatism, and the Pan European elements in it. I the American English there are a lot of German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Jiddish, Slav, Scottish, Irish, Italian and other elements.

British people characteristically have much higher percentage of people with red hair compared to anywhere else in the world. Some red-hair people, especially women are beautiful, the other have problems with sensitive skin and freckled. I have a friend here in IF, she is British and she has red hair. I could not call her a classical beauty, but she does attract some men attention (I was a witness of this, with her unusual type of beauty). By the way, Elizabeth Kucinich, wife of presidential candidate, is British and beautiful and also red-haired:  |
