Swedes also love English guys, they they are obsessed with English culture, and the sophistication of London.
"Cool Britannia" seems to be sweeping through Europe at the moment, everywhere people have Union Jack clothes etc. Especially in Ukraine, flicking through VK profiles, huge amount of girls with Union Jack T-shirts, jewellery, Dr Martens, Jeans etc
That romantization ends up when they finally visit England and see the real everyday english/british people..
Yep we are all ugly, uncouth, football hooligans over here with heavy drinking habits, tatoos and British bulldog t shirts
Not really, the stereotypes always an exaggeration of reality, but when I go to england or anywhere in the UK (Ireland included) I see far less goodlooking girls and also way more fatties than among continental europeans/scandinavians. And Im not comparing Britian with eastern europe/ FSU , but also with other continental europeans like Denmark, netherlands, belgium, france, etc where pretty girls are found everywhere but they are a rare sight among the british.
