I'm sure obesity is increasing all over the world, but it's nowhere close to what we are. It didn't really hit me how fat Americans are until I went to Europe.

Re: Lady with young daughter at schnucks
I've visited Paris and various parts of Italy, but I really know Geneva, Switzerland better as I have spent time working there. Commuting to work, grocery shopping, etc.. you get off the beaten path and I think get a pretty good idea of daily life. Geneva has by far the most attractive women per capita than anywhere I have ever seen. It's the perfect storm - a society where obesity doesn't exist, a wealthy city, and surrounded by mountains with beaucoup outdoor activites to keep everyone looking great.ghostrunner wrote:That's my general recollection as well.

The sexiest woman was in Nimes, France. She resembled Kelly LeBrock (circa Weird Science), but with flowing, wavy red hair. She was wearing a green dress, and approached me from about twenty feet away and asked if I had a light for her cigarette. Had this swaying strut that would look silly if you didn't have the confidence to pull it off. Kept eye contact with me the whole time she was walking up to me. Of course, I don't smoke, but I was a puddle of jelly at that point anyway.

If you like brunettes, you should visit Portugal. Good lord. It was like heaven. For some reason I was expecting the Italian women to beat all comers, but it wasn't even close.jim wrote:I've visited Paris and various parts of Italy, but I really know Geneva, Switzerland better as I have spent time working there.

Re: Lady with young daughter at schnucks
Italy was the worst in that regards imo. Geneva is a smaller city (175,000), and they have this really wholesome look as opposed to the look in bigger cities. Milk commercial looks with a soft French voice... Tres jolie!ghostrunner wrote:If you like brunettes, you should visit Portugal. Good lord. It was like heaven.

Re: Lady with young daughter at schnucks
I know it sounds that way. But the dress was actually fairly conservative. She looked well put together, but like she could have gone back to an office somewhere. This was the middle of the day in a fairly touristy area, so I don't think so. Who knows though.Hudler wrote:Sounds like a pro to me.ghostrunner wrote:If you like brunettes, you should visit Portugal. Good lord. It was like heaven.
