No, I guess more something like this is the american image of a "hot" women:

Baywatch was the #1 internationally watched TV show for a long time. (back in the 90s) Glamour models and those of the playmate-ish type have always been popular with young adults everywhere- Today, I think that the extra curvy British women from "Nuts" magazine & other derivatives seem to be well received globally.

I don´t understand why, but it seems blonde playmates just appeal for the whole world although almost every man I´ve met says he finds them plastic and unnatural. I don´t get it!!!

Her father is a TV producer.

I think the first thing many, if not most adolescent boys get attracted to is very large breasts- even augmented. I think that this view starts to wane (slowly) as time goes by.

Oh, a TV producer now I get it

And how about women?

dude why cant kittes stay SOOOOOOO adorable like that lolllllll, mine is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo well weird at times, he is like a ninja, sneeks in and out, pouncing when you least expect it lol

loool it seems cats are the same all over the world my sister´s cat does the same, she waits, lurk, and then strikes when you least expect it

ohhhhhhhhhhhh yea they do, bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

NOOOOO this is too much

No, I guess more something like this is the american image of a "hot" women:

for some, yes (as well as many europeans as well, especially Germany where Baywatch was so huge i believe), but not all.

i personally never saw the attraction in her. she was always too plastic for me; a living Barbie doll basically.

Oh yes, Germans love blondes too but... I don´t know, the whole world seems to be inclined to blondes. Why does everyone say - do you want the carrier? Turn yourself into a blonde. And it works?! Sometimes, yes, it does. Everywhere.

too plastic for me too, Lu never have gotten her appeal I was more attracted to Yasmine

dude why cant kittes stay SOOOOOOO adorable like that lolllllll, mine is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo well weird at times, he is like a ninja, sneeks in and out, pouncing when you least expect it lol

loool it seems cats are the same all over the world my sister´s cat does the same, she waits, lurk, and then strikes when you least expect it

hey, got love that. cats are awlays so tempermental, but still, i find them better than dogs

Oh, I love both dogs and cats the same. They have their pros and cons, but I can´t resist them

While looking for pictures for Sagitario's thread I found these amusing:

look at that dog! so cute

You "guess"? So you find "guessing" is sufficient enough for passing your negative judgement on a country with over 308 million people? Well, I guess you don't need my response since you have your handy stereotypes, but I'll just answer anyway. Plus as much time as I've spent defending places I've never been, I might as well speak on behalf of my own country...

1. Playboy girls can't be merely narrowed down to American bleach blondes with fake boobs. Not only has this look been the staple for a relatively small percentage of the company history (and I was show this by a woman who's a big fan, not a man and she also happens to be European...), but several other countries also have their own separate publication. On top of that, they are not limited to playboy models, but tons of actresses, athletes, singers and yes even some fashion models such as Cindy Crawford, Lara Stone (European Playboy) and Lily Cole (European Playboy) have posed for the magazine. Baywatch also showed in over 140 countries around the world, so its popularity was definitely widespread.

2. The magazine's popularity has declined during the internet age. This is most likely because with the ability to look at naked women for free on the internet, there is less of a need to be seen buying the magazine in public or have them sent to one's house. So with it being no longer the primary means of seeing famous naked women without being seen at an adult film store, the magazine's popularity wend down. That said, monopolizing the desire to see famous nude women outside of porn in no way indicates whether the women therein were all the men's ideal woman or not.

3. America is so large and diverse that the support of only a relatively small percentage of the population is actually necessary to have great success EVEN if said thing is hated by a larger percentage it wouldn't matter. There are so many Americans that even to have 10% of Americans is almost like having all of Canada. That doesn't mean that that percentage represents Americans. Of course that 10% is only a random example.

4. American women (who are the majority here of course) have their own ideals and tastes in women, which further speaks to the credibility of "guessing" what represents American tastes based on the fact that Pamela Anderson and some like her happen to be popular here. Busty blondes also happen to be popular in a large percentage of the world outside of America.

5. Even aside from any of this, its extremely rude to not only label an entire country as having "horrendous tastes" but to pin down one type as representing them in the process.

6. The truth is, America has too many people and too much diversity for one thing to represent the ideal of all. The whole ideology of reducing the tastes of a mass population to the least sommon denominator is rooted in marketing. Advertisers endlessly seek to homogenize the general public for the sole purpose of enhancing their marketing strategies. For example, "20 million Americans prefer this" (small percentage btw) often comes from a survey of thousands and sometimes hundreds. From those few, formulas are used to determine how many people they represent. So its all about maximizing advertising dollars. That said, the least common denominator doesn't speak to ideals, only likes of a small sample.

7. Over here (with the increasing emphasis on looks in TV, film and music), celebrities are actually more popular for their looks now than playboy women. I'd be willing to bet that if you asked most Americans to choose 1 famous person as their ideal or closest to it looks wise they would name a celebrity before a playboy model.

8. I happen to not like Pamela Anderson, don't like the Girls Next Door and don't read the magazine either (though from what I've been shown, don't find the pre 90s ones to be that bad or as artificial and bland as the modern ones), but those that do aren't beneath me by any means nor are they beneath you.

9. I wasn't even originally referring to a "type" of woman, only saying that the looks of some American women are appreciated more abroad than at home whereas others are appreciated more at home than abroad. I was also not really as much referring to the whole population, but BZ specifically.

10. Ironically when some said you should be banned because of your rudeness and insults, I said that you should be given another chance and that maybe she's misunderstood. This could be the case, or maybe I just have horrendous taste. I am American after all .

Joe, I personally suspect that the only man that loves blondes so much is Hugh Heffner

And I hope you´re not offended agree with you. Hmmm and wanted to ask, do you think there is any "look" that is generally apreciated here on BZ and one that generally isn´t? I was thinking about it for a while... and it seems types like Adri or Candice work for most people here.

Well, David Hasselhoff was one of the biggest stars of the show and he's German, so maybe this is why

Oh my, I remember watching this show a few times when I was like, 7 years old

My guess would be on the playmate type girl. Utterly horrendous of course <_<

Well said Joe. Good to know others are fed up with the "typical american" spew that comes from quite a few on here.

And a goooooooooooood morning to you Jenka. Kisssssssss

I hate to be picky but David Hasselhoff is not German. He was born and brought up in the US. He does have German ancestry and in the late eighties had some success as a singer in Germany, which could explain the popularity of Baywatch in that country a few years later.

Oh my, I remember watching this show a few times when I was like, 7 years old

That line makes me feel sooooo old.
