"Russian beauty is not limited to literature and forests, its main parameter is women. The American women are too healthy, the French women are too capricious, the Germans are too athletic, the Japanese are too submissive, the Italians are too jealous, the English women are too drunk. Remain Russian. The whole world has heard about the power of Russian women; that is why they are denied visas. Women of all nationalities hate them, because beauty is unjust, and against injustice it is necessary to fight "
F. Begbeder. Ideal
"The Russians !" - We always proudly answer when admiring foreigners at the resort shyly ask about our nationality. And again - it's nice to recognize your connection with the representatives of the most beautiful women in the world. But is it true? Are we really the most-most, and where does this expression come from?
Let's look at the statistics. This year, a vote was taken: the respondents answered the question - "What nationality women are most attractive to you?". 54% of respondents believe that the most beautiful women live in Russia. 27% - are sure that the most attractive representatives of the weaker sex live in the Land of the Rising Sun. 14% voted for the classic version - in their opinion, the most beautiful women in the world are French women. The same number believe that the birthplace of true beauties is Germany. Italy has surrendered its position. The least votes - 5% - were given to the Italians.
Each nationality has its own taste. Many often do not like women of other nationalities. But in general, according to polls - which are the most beautiful women (except their nationality) - Russian.
What is the secret of the attractiveness of the Slavs? It's not so much that we have better external data than others - the question is how we present them. If the majority of European women refuse to use cosmetics in their daily lives, the Russian woman considers it beneath her dignity to appear at work without make-up. From a conversation with the HR director of a large cosmetic company that has its own representative office in Russia:
"When interviewing for work, women are usually asked: - Why do you use makeup? Most europeans will respond: - To look and feel better, more confident. The answer to a similar question of Russian candidates: - To look better, to be more attractive to men. "
Europeans pay much less attention to how they look in the eyes of others. The main thing for them is to feel confident and to like yourself first of all. Whatever Begbeder says - the women of every nation have their secrets of attraction and strengths.
The Germans differ in economy and pedantry, accuracy in everyday life, which is not always the case for Russians. One familiar compatriot, recently married to a German, says that she did not talk to her husband for a week because of a quarrel, which was motivated by his phrase: "What do you do all day, do not you wash your windows for 3 days ?!"
French women are distinguished for their unusual charm - sometimes you see - there is a girl - a gray-gray, and you can not tear off an eye. They are very attentive to detail - they can be completely without makeup, but the hair is always laid, dressed with needles, and accompanied by their light refined fragrance of perfume.
Japanese women are known for restraint of character and complaisance. To contradict her husband is something wild, wrong. In the eastern family, duties are usually distributed clearly: work is the prerogative of men, the house is the destiny of a woman.
The main thing that distinguishes them from us is concentration not on appearance, but on individuality. Women around the world focus on comfort, naturalness, because it is more convenient, and easier. We can not afford to look untidy. The same applies to shoes and clothes. In the heat, rain, ice, on the beach - a Russian woman will still be proud to walk on his heels - and no matter that it is uncomfortable, most importantly - she will know what looks good! In Europe, a girl with heels is very rare - and then, mostly, for the evening out. In choosing clothes, Russians are also guided by appearance, not convenience. But the matter is not so much in beauty, as in the collective image of our woman. She is not only beautiful, she is also a good housewife, and if we talk about popularity, then not only women but Russian wives are famous in the world. Who else can after a hard day, working on a par with her husband, prepare a full-fledged home dinner, always remember the gifts by February 23rd, when he forgets about the mimosa by March 8, give up a brilliant career for the sake of the family? Feminism has affected our women to a lesser extent - we are pleased when we give way to the subway, pay in the restaurant and protect - foreign women struggling for equality consider this a sign of weakness, discrimination, and we are pleased to remain in this, maybe even out-of-date, in terms of west, defenseless condition.
Orientation of most Russian women of the fair sex - a home, a happy family , and men feel it. Although more and more careerists have appeared recently, the bulk is still ready to sacrifice brilliant prospects for the sake of her husband, for the sake of the child. Where else will such a miracle be found - beautiful, clever, good mistress, and ready to give almost everything for personal happiness? But one of our most valuable virtues is patience (not submissiveness!), Meekness and humility. So, even knowing the statistics, and on every meter catching the admiring glances of men abroad, we will quietly smile and pretend that even we have no idea how we Russians are good.
