California Girls: Not the most beautiful women after all!

[Jizzmopper]

Back in December I crossed the border for my first time ever and visited Vancouver for a week, and there's something I thought I'd share with everyone. You guys have some damn fine looking chicks up there!

I've spent my whole life in So Cal, and I've been raised to believe that Cali has the hottest people around, but now I'm not so sure that stereotype is very true any more. Don't get me wrong, there are some very beautiful chicks down here, but there are also a whole hell of a lot of ugly ones. I think it really hit home when I was boarding the southbound train in Seattle on my way back from Canada, I looked around me and noticed practically everyone was fat, really fat. I mean it was like I entered the land of the giants or something. It was so weird that going just a little over a hundred miles would make such a difference in the looks of the average person. How the hell can that be?

I thought it might just be because I was in a train station, maybe less attractive people ride the train, maybe the hot ones just fly. So I forgot about it and cruised home.

Now back in So Cal about two days later I went to the local mall. It hit me again! While in Vancouver I spent a lot of time in Lougheed Mall, and upon getting back to So Cal I visited my own local rip-off center and what a difference it was. The shoppers were larger and on average significantly less attractive!

I wondered why it might be. We're really not that far apart, why the huge difference in looks? But maybe it's not about distance. Maybe Canadians just plain get off their asses and are more active than we Americans.

Maybe it also has a little to do with our Minority population. I know this is about as politically incorrect as one can get, but you guys have the Asians which tend to be thin. We have the Mexicans, which tend to be, well, supersized. They also tend to have large families. Large in both senses that is...

Maybe it's because down here the ugly ones tend to reproduce more. I can't say how many times I've seen some of the ugliest women, and sure as shit they're pushing a stroller, or walking through Wal*Mart with their ugly kid(s). I didn't see that in Vancouver.

But whatever the reason, I now know Cali doesn't have the best looking people in the world. Maybe Cali just has the best looking people in the US. I've been to Texas, and it's pretty bad down there. I can't really say for sure, I don't have nearly enough world traveling experience to truly report just which place really is the best. But I can say this, congratulations to all you Vancouver dwellers, you guys have the hottest chicks I've ever seen.

Can't wait to get back up there some day.


PS: Why do you guys refer to soda as "pop". WTF is up with that? I thought only people from the South called it "pop." It's called soda, or Coke, or a soft drink. Not POP!
--Sorry, I had to get that one out of the system as well!

I lived in Los Angeles for 2 years, all I can say is ... you must be drunk buddy

I don`t think so. You`ve got to agree we have an abundance of fat chicks down here. We`ve got good looking ones as well, don`t get me wrong. But in my short visit to Van, I saw many more good looking chicks up there.

JM- I am full of absolutely useless information. The term "pop" for soda came from the days before bottle caps were used. Soda use to be sealed with a glass ball that was inside of the soda bottle. The glass ball was held in place with CO2.

To open the bottle a person would hit the top of the glass ball with the open hand and drive the ball inside of the bottle. The CO2 escaping made the pop sound and hence the name.

To your topic - I have had the good fortune to travel a lot. Beautiful women are not a regional thing (in spite of the Beach Boys assertions). I love women and there are beautiful woman all over this planet.

That's an interesting fact about the Soda Pop name history. So that's where the name comes from.


As far as the regional thing. I am sure there are beautiful chicks all over the world, agreed. But I have to disagree with you that hot girls are not a regional thing.

You are more likely to find hot chicks in the beach cities of LA than you are in east San Diego county.

Even though I haven't been many places, from the few places I have been, I know that a particular area can have a dramatic affect on the percentage of beautiful people. I've seen it with my own eyes.

For example on a much smaller scale, two colleges I've attended. One was about 5 miles from the beach and had lots of hot chicks, the other was located about 30 miles inland and had far fewer hot chicks, a small distance of 25 miles made a big difference. Granted both HAD hot chicks in them. But the one that was closer to the beach had more. And by more I am referring to percentage, or a "per capita" kind of measurement. Both colleges had a similar number of students.

Does anyone else agree with me here? Or am I totally alone on this?

 

[luckydog71]

JM – it depends on each person definition of a “hot chick”. If your definition is very narrow then you will likely find these hot chicks in very few areas.

Let me stereotype you. I bet your definition of a hot chick is blond hair, blue eyes, 20 – 26 years old, fit and muscular, big tits and a great ass. That is typically associated with the beaches of southern California.

Don’t get me wrong I would bang a chick fitting that description and think I was in heaven. But my definition of a good looking woman is much broader than that. Sometimes it is their eyes. Sometimes it is their hands and the way they touch. Sometimes it is the way they smell. Sometimes it is their smile. Sometimes it is their walk.

Dam, I am getting carried away here. You know what, I think I am just a dirty old man.

But you get my point, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Could this be the reason?

An Alaskan woodpecker and a Texas woodpecker were in Alaska arguing about which state had the toughest trees to peck. The Alaskan woodpecker said that they had a tree that no woodpecker can peck. The Texas woodpecker challenged him and was able to peck a hole in the tree with no problem.

The Alaskan woodpecker was in awe.

The Texas woodpecker challenged the Alaskan woodpecker to peck a tree in Texas that no woodpecker has been able to peck successfully. The Alaskan
woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it.

After flying to Texas and successfully pecking the tree in Texas, the two woodpeckers couldn't figure out why the Texas woodpecker was able to peck the Alaskan tree and the Alaskan woodpecker was able to peck the Texan tree when neither one was able to peck the tree in their own state.

After thinking for some time they both came to the same conclusion that, "One's pecker is always harder when one is away from home."

It's at least partly because of the enormous portions of food you serve down there. Next time you come up here get a 'super size' fries at McDonald's and compare it to yours. It will be like a medium or something. Every time I go out for dinner at a sit down restaurant south of the border, I can never finish my meal. Watch Super-size me. You'll see what I'm talking about. We have the same problems here just not as bad.

 

[wolverine]

When I was in Vancouver last summer, I found lots and lots of hawt babes on Robson Street and the nightclubs on Granville. Everywhere else in the city, many of them were your typical pro-environment neo-hippie coeds and bus-stop crack whores.

 

[yogi]

I too have always noted the abundance of hot babes when traveling north. I've had the same experiences in Montreal as in Van. My last trip to Montreal I suffered saliva depletion as a result of overdrooling.

In SoCal, once you're outside the "beautiful people" areas of West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, & Beverly Hills, you see plenty of the typical American fattie.

I love it here in Oregon, but we are the fattest state in the west, so there are some disgusting fat slobs here too.
One might expect otherwise, given all the easy access to first rate outdoor attractions.

An aftermath of "Supersize Me": MC D's discontinued supersizing. They deny any connection, of course.

I think JM's observation has some merit. Much of the average stats of a region depend on culture, socioeconomic demographics and personality traits.

I know this is opening a can of worms but when I was in university, I noticed that girls in science on average were less well kept in appearance, noticeably bigger and often less attractive due to some of these combinations of factors.

In the social sciences or arts classes, the girls tended to be slimmer, more attractive and better kept. My hypothesis is that women some women who are more attractive, prefer to ride on the coat-tails of society knowing that a good percentage of society's stronger men will gladly take them under their wing. Ergo, why spend more time, effort and resources on education?

Yes arts can be tough, but science majors have a much more difficult course load due to the level of technical knowledge and theoretical concepts that requires intense studying to master. Hence the girls who are less attractive and may not have the option of tons of capable men willing to support them, choose to depend more on themselves and take courses that offers good prospects of getting a good paying job. There are more employed chemists out there then there are art history majors.

Yes I know this statement is not so PC, however it does not change the reality of much of our evolutionary development considering that we have only recently departed from a patriarchal system (in terms of entire recorded history of man).

As for demographics, psychological studies show that on average, good looking people tend to have better jobs and better pay. Part of their pay goes into living in higher socioeconomic regions and maintaining their appearance. Hence the noticeable gathering in specific regions of so called better looking people. Just visit any mall in Chilliwack compared to downtown Vancouver and you will see the difference socioeconomic demographics have on average looks.

Lastly, culture can play a big role. Due to successful marketing and cultural beliefs, thinness is equated to good looks. An average looking girl who is thinner is subjectively seen as prettier than the same girl when she is heavier. The Vancouver culture is based around a healthier lifestyle (diet and activity) as compared to some other cities (like Montreal).

Fast food and fried foods are more popular in the states than in Vancouver. The influence of balanced asian diets, healthy fast food choices (ie. Bread Garden, Wrap Zone, gourmet vegetarian establishments, etc.) and our active lifestyles here tend to make our population fitter than say Montreal or Cali. I lived in Montreal for several years and while Quebecois women are attractive, then tend to be rounder than our stick women here. Plus their were more obese people in Quebec than here again largely due to the rich fatty foods they eat and the sedentary lifestyle partially imposed by the miserable winter conditions (nobody really wants to go outside in the winter).

What JM might be missing is that statistically, good to ugly looking women ratios probably remain fairly constant worldwide with standard deviations that might vary greater regionally due to socioeconomics and accepted cultural beliefs (ie. Polynesian islanders see bigger women as more attractive). The big shift in the ratios is where they congregate which has much more to do with socioeconomics than genetic rules.

So JM's passive observations are not entirely incorrect, just not the full analysis of the statistics of a country's population.



Here's an evolutionary joke to lighten the subject. Why did cavemen drag women by their hair into their caves?

Because dragging them by their feet got sand in them.

Fat

He's right, they're really fat down there

In Arizona I couldn't quite put the finger on what was so different down there until I got onto the water slides and seen everyone in bathing suits. They were fat, really incredibly fat. One tubby dude I will never forget wore this small speedo swimsuit that even a toddler would be embarrased to wear. What impressed me was how unconcerned they all were about it.

California girls...

Jizz,

It sounds like you need to get out of California a little bit more (not just to BC, though it is a good first choice). My ex from Oregon calls soda "pop" also. And, in parts of New England it is called "tonic". Sometimes, those of us who live in California tend to think the world revolves around them. No so. I grew up near Philadelphia and it was called soda there. Not sure about the rest of the country. Anybody?

In Canada our soda is much more carbonated than the soda in the US, so the bubbles pop in our noses. I find soda in the States to be quite flat. Plus we use cane sugar, whilst, the soda in the States is made with corn sweetener, which does not have the same "bite" as sugur. Try our "Jolt" cola it's much nicer to drink.

 

[dittman]

I have to agree with ld what the hell have you been drinking or smoking all your life Walking in downtown seattle my neck is suffering from whip lash and my tongue is constantly hard. It is that way no matter what major city you go to. But if your going to look at it that way then then the 3 societies that produce the most beautiful women on this earth are

1. Brazil
2. Ukraine
3. Thailand

IMHO

This has been posted before, but what the heck...here it is again.

Pop versus Soda

Cat

Great link! According to the data on my part of the state, out of a total of 824 questioned only 18 prefered "pop" as opposed to 637 prefering "Soda" and 134 prefering "Coke" with 35 choosing "Other".

Our funny little differences...

Some info on the "Fat Gap"

It has been noted by authorities such as the UN World Health Organization that Americans are the fattest people on earth. Canadians are second. North America's infatuation with the automobile combined with huge meal portions seem to the two main causes. It seems to be simply to be a case of too many calories ingested and too few expended.

In a recently published study it was found that not only do many North Americans choose diets with more fat and carbs but that European meals were, on average, 60% the size of American ones.

It has also been noted that in cases of immigration, that within a generation people balloon up to the average in North America. So it is lifestyle that is the determing factor, not genetics. Generally, while Latins and Asians are smaller originally, they tend to approach the community average with time.

It is believed that because of the higher percentage of recent immigrants and stronger European connection, Canadians are generally healthier and slimmer than Americans, but not by a great amount.

 

[Massagegirl]

That sounds like an interesting movie Cat, it would be neat to see our culture portrayed from that viewpoint!

I honestly thought pop came from soda pop and got shortened to just pop, on account of soda to us meaning club soda. Also Coke always means Coca-cola, no? When others call pop soda, what do they mean? Rootbeer, sprite, coke, or what? If the waitress says "would you like soda?", what does she mean? Is soda synonomous with coke or pepsi?

BTW, is Barqs rootbeer made with cane sugar? It bites!

I also thought that pop came from soda pop being shortened. Guess not after all...

Soda is synonomous with pop, not any particular brand.

As far as others refering to soda or pop as simply "coke" I have heard that in certain parts, the word coke is used to refer to any brand of carbonated drink. For example you could say to waitress "I'll just have a coke," and she could respond "what kind" and you might say Sprite. I imagine that if you really wanted just a coke you might have to say Coca Cola Classic or something like that. I have heard this, I've never actually seen it in practice. It's mostly a Southern thing that I know off.

At least that's what a friend told me... I could be totally wrong.

"soda", "pop", "tonic" - whatever you call it, many people on this continent drink gallons of that shit per day, and you wonder why there are so many chubbies.
