What the British find attractive

I'm watching a British reality show called Shipwrecked from a while back and it's astonishing to hear the announcer describe the castaways. Everyone is "glamorous", "buffed", "devilishly attractive", "strong and built" etc. On U.S. tv, they wouldn't get a second casting call. The standard of attractiveness for British people is strange. Even Diana - she seemed like a very nice woman and was pleasant to look at but she was certainly no classic beauty.

You need to understand the British media elite to get it.

For many years there's been a pervasive notion that the British like gritty realism and don't like soft focus glamour, so you get shows which have more - shall we say - "character" actors in leading roles (like Eastenders, for example). It's not really true, if you look at the highest grossing British movies for example, only one on the list (the Full Monty) could be described as gritty, and the box office charts in the UK are consistently Hollywood. And back when when US shows were broadcast on the main channels, they were just as popular as home grown content.

That's all changed over the years since the late 90s, and the British media is much more commercial than it was 15 years ago when the show linked in the OP was first broadcast (the photo is from series 2 in 2001). Back then reality was new and they were still trying to cast okay looking people with personalities rather than just good looking but dull like TOWIE is now (or US shows have been since the 80s).

Their definition of beauty is highly questionable.

R48 has it right. If Rebekah Brooks was ever described as a 'flame-haired temptress' the writer was - as Brits routinely say - taking the piss.

Obviously Murdoch's chief attack dog wouldn't tempt anyone; except evidently another Rupert puppet such as Andy Coulson, still I think in prison for his services to journalism.

'Flame-haired temptress' itself as a phrase came from satirical magazine 'Private Eye.' The Eye has a hard job with its tabloid parodies these days, because the papers themselves are so in on their own joke. Anyone's over-praised 'beauty' is usually written to take the piss, and provoke the opposite reaction.

R48 is right. Part of the reason the British tabs call women "gorgeous" so often is because they're being coy, often trying to get away with slamming them for their appearance. "Lindsay Lohan shows off her curvaceous body" = "bitch getting fat."

Another reason is because they're being paid to say something positive -- if the celeb isn't cutting a deal with the tabs then a fashion house is. The Daily Mail turns half of their celebrity spotting stories into advertisements for the celeb's clothes, or knock-offs of the clothes.

I'm pretty sure they get more hits when they're pretending to be positive than they do by being negative. Maybe Perez Hilton should have tried the British version of "being nice."

Funny how the royals have bred themselves into what they are. Ugly as sin, stupid as hell, artistic philistines. On the good side they are sporty, blue-eyed (hey, what other advantage is there to being so determinably white?), reasonably good-natured and don't complain too much.

And they didn't marry any better. Fergie is a braying Hooray Henrietta (but at least she introduced some good hair into the mix). Diana possibly even stupid and impossibly emotionally fragile (but brought along spell-binding charisma). Kate Middleton is a gold-digger par excellence, lazy, has whittled herself from athletic and muscular to being 5 pounds from Karen Carpenter territory, but is a touch more intelligent than William (not that that is saying much) and, in short has kept the gene pool stable, but not one bit improved.

It would be kind of cool if Harry married a Japanese or Tongan or African royal, just for the LOLs.

I think it's more about "the craft" and the talent first culture. Back to Olivier thinking working with Monroe was beneath him - and probably further than that. I'm sure they have their share of shallow hair models but it isn't embraced quite at the levels it is in the US.

I've read many articles stating that Amy Winehouse and Adele would never have seen fame if they tried to launch in the US - because here the industry would rather a hot bod and pretty face they can auto tune than bother to try to market genuine talent that doesn't fit into an exact mold.

Here in the US, a hot body and relatively decent face can get you 20+ years as a soap actor blatantly reading cue cards in every scene.

I don't feel like it's that Britain has very different standards of beauty as much as it is they're a little more willing to embrace something special or interesting from people, even when the package delivering it looks ordinary or even odd.

by Anonymousreply 119August 28, 2016 6:38 AM

As a Scot, I'd say that the further north you go in the UK the better-looking the men *wink*. But, I will say this, there are pockets of Britain that are remarkably close to Deliverance-country in the ugliness factor - usually places like Berkshire, Heresfordshire, the Central Belt area around Falkirk and *gulp* the Black Country. No, that's not where we keep our blacks, darlings (that's what London's for, innit?!) but a rather grotesque area in the West Midlands. The Central Belt, in case you're scratching your wee supplement-addled heads, is the area of Scotland between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling...which Falkirk (anus of Scotland) falls slap in the middle of.

When it comes down to attractiveness, I'd say that the American ideal of masculine beauty isn't realistic, but we do see it as fake. Yes, you can go to the gym and work out - but you're talking epic amounts of working out to approach those standards. The American fascination with bubble-butts is...well...it's seen as ridiculous, pornographic and racist. "oh, you can get that ass by doing squats!" But there are so many surgeons touting implants, darlings, ergo why we see it as another layer of American fakery - just like your teeth. When it comes down to teeth, look, I'm going to be more impressed if a guy actually has his own teeth than by some gym-bunny flashing his perfect veneers at me and, as someone genetically blessed to have a nice set of gnashers, it's a bit insulting to be asked by some knuckle-dragging Yank "Where'd you get your teeth done, buddy?" As long as you can use a toothbrush and know the ins and outs of mouthwash, then, well, party.

Do we prefer orange skin, tanned skin or milkbottle? Well, depends on the bloke. There are some people (that little slag Tom Daley) who suit being the colour of a cheap sofa from Land of Leather. There are some guys who suit being paler than an extra from Twilight and there are some guys who look good with a natural tan. What *isn't* good though are guys who don't take care of their skin. Darlings, skin care - learn it, respect it. Being Scottish, I should point out that our natural skin colour is a pale milky blue and that we are known to explode if exposed to strong sunlight without sunscreen (factor: 5,000).

Why do people keep referring to Britain as a "small gene pool"? Compared to the US or Brazil, maybe, but it's still the fifth-largest country in Europe, and hundreds of thousands of Britons have French, Belgian, German, or Spanish blood. There are people from all over the world living over there, and many have "bred" with the native population. A huge number of children in London and other large cities have parents of different nationalities, sometimes born on different continents. Also, the Dutch have a smaller gene pool and they are generally considered a fairly attractive people. They certainly look healthier than most Britons.

Sod off and take a look at a few real men. If I hear one more fucking word about foreskins and teeth I'll barf. At least find an original insult.

Nah, the problem is their facial features which have gotten cut in other places around the world. The bug eyes, the weird ratio from top lip to nose tip. See Kate Winslet and Elizabeth Hurley for British mouth. In contrast to Ireland, the Brits have some big honking noses as Northern Germans. Bug eyes, small lips and big noses= unattractive traits. You've got to cut the gene pool to get the otherworldly beauty unless you're Swedish or Norwegian.

It's not about the things easily changed, like weight, muscles, it's really more about facial features. Although, those other considerations don't help their cause. If we are going to bring up weight, Britain can't throw "stones" so to speak.

If that's true, R94, then it should go double for Ireland, but Ireland is full of attractive people.

Anyway, I lived in Britain (London) on and off from 1999-2005. I wouldn't say the British are unattractive at all. Less polished maybe than what we've come to expect from the US media maybe, but you could easily flip that around as the Americans are fake-looking.

The inbred-looking Royal family, which is ethnically German by the way, is not representative. There's plenty of fresh blood coming in from all around the world to keep the gene pool fresh. The uglier ones are still no uglier than what you'd see waddling around the Walmart over here.

But....boy do they drink. Im no teetotaler but I was stunned by the massive quantities of booze the Brits can put away. They seem to age faster than Americans and the boozing has a lot to do with it.

I think this has a lot to do with the fact that for years, pubs were the only places to go and socialise. We never had the continental café life that they have all over the rest of Europe. We never had coffee shops like they have in America or The Drug Stores with Soda Fountains or the Ice Cream Parlors. Nothing like that.

This is silly. There are slight differences in what is considered "native" beauty and all that usually comes down to, are the most perfect versions of the most commonly recurring traits in a population. Every culture/people has them. Beautiful is beautiful. Princess Diana had a very fresh, simple "English Rose" kind of beauty and if you look at Sandahl Bergman and actresses like her in the early 80's, Diana was right in with the trends of the times.

The only thing I've noticed between Brit and American taste is that Brits seem to have more appreciation for ethereal beauties and delicate, refined features on men, etc. While these same people are admired as beautiful by American taste, there seems to be more of a need to pound "sex, sex, sex" into people's brains constantly, with American style. It's less reserved.

Damon Albarn in the 90's was stunning by any standard.

Must agree with the poster who's affixing the photos of businessmen and others from London. I'm an American who has lived in London, and the British are better tailored than Americans. There are exceptions, of course, but Americans tend to wear baggier clothes and sizes too large.

I'm an ass (arse) man, and there's nothing like well-tailored trousers to showcase a nice butt (and package, too, for that matter). I see more of that in London, than in New York.

And, of course, it's a class thing. There are plenty of chavs and jobs from Essex, who are the cousins of guidos from Bensonhurst.

I'm American but I am a regular reader of the "Blind Date" column on the Guardian website. I'm not sure what the method is for taking the participant photos is (because it looks like they are taken by a professional) but they seem very true to the individuals in all their idiosyncratic and misshapen physical oddities and somewhat "off" hair and clothing choices.

If the Guardian were American, I don't think the people would be (or would allow themselves to be) photographed to show them this way. The paper would probably offer them professional makeover services before getting their picture taken.

The English attitude is heartening and probably linked to the British love of eccentricity.

I don't think R385 has bad features. He's not my type but he looks like he might be good in bed, passionate.

R 376 haha I love that Canadian guy, he has you Yanks to a tee. But do you really hate the French?? ( an Englishman talking)

by Anonymousreply 390August 30, 2016 8:35 AM

There's no love lost for the French, R390 .

Their rolling over for the Germans really chapped our hide, and it's still very much a topic of discussion. Many Americans consider them unmanly and soft, which of course for an American is the kiss of death with the coffin sealed.

Styles is not sexy. He has a face like an STI-ridden rat. He's a little whore and a bad one at that. Christ, you'd think he'd have contracted herpes....oh, wait, that's just the way his ugly wee face always looks.

R405, when you've quite finished transitioning, Styles is gorgeous. His eyes are the greenest I have ever seen and he has a wonderful mouth.

R406 - honey, when you've finished licking the cum from your mother's cunt - he's an ugly shit. He's probably crawling with fleas and crabs.

No, R409 - and guess what, Fuggo - he's never going to look at a fat donkey-faced inbred like yourself. So go back to touting for cock down at Burger King. It's all you'll ever get before you find yourself knocked up by your priest. Go on. Fuck off now.

In all seriousness why are Brits so fugly? It can't be limited gene pool, there a lot of places that have limited gene pools where people are attractive. Can't be lack of sun, because there are other places that don't get much sun where people are attractive. What the hell is going on over there that makes so many of them so ugly?

They seem to wrinkle very fast. Is it the genetic makeup of their skin or the drinking and smoking. Hugh Grant's face looks like a fat person slept on it and he's really not that old.

Brit here, I must say I used to see more unique handsome blokes back home. Americans tend to be quite homogeneous in their looks and style. True beauty is a bit imperfect. No one can make the argument "American Style" is superior, sorry Yanks. IMHO the city where I was overwhelmed by so many almost unnaturally handsome men is Copenhagen. If there realky is such a contest, I do believe the Danes win it. The women are gorgeous too.

There’s a lot, I mean a big lot, of potato-faced plainness in the English. Generally, you have to go either to the genuinely working class or right to the other end, to find the attractive ones. The middle? Don’t bother looking. There’s a greater amount of attractiveness once you get to the people who are a mix of Scots, Welsh, Irish. Also, some of the poc are hot, for sure. As for reality TV contestants getting described as ‘attractive’ when they resemble bland suburban fitness instructors, fuck knows what that’s about.
