Ted “soon to be getting brick through window” Safran

Oh please, you lard-butt British frumps have got off too lightly – Times Online — Anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation of great sarcastic writing will love this guy who has apparently been tweaking Great Britain with his complaints about the general homeliness of British woman. Of course he is mostly extolling the virtues of American women in Los Angeles and New York. He should come to Berkeley and see what he thinks.

And I can’t help feeling I’ve let British women off lightly. It’s not just the Americans you don’t compare to: British women don’t have the curves of the Italians, the simmering sexuality of the Spanish, the sophistication of the French or the openness of the Scandinavians.

So what do British women have? Top spot in the European obesity table. Top spot in the European teen pregnancy table. And the only spots besides Denmark in the chart showing rising alcohol consumption among women in western Europe.

Well done, Britain. If what women are striving for is the ability to get hammered and fall over in the street, Britain is a feminist paradise from coast to coast

His best line may be this:

I described an English girl I was once set up with as “something that would surely have been happier hunting truffles in the forests of central France”. I also said this woman had been described to me as “having the body of a 20-year-old” to which I responded, “maybe she did … dismembered in her freezer at home. She certainly didn’t have it on her skeleton”.

    It’s all in the diet.

    It’s about time many visited the fly over states. New York City and Coastal California might as well be a separate nation. The only time the networks sends anyone in between is when some poor bastard suffers a natural disaster or some other mass blood letting. JCD made a good point in this weeks TWIT podcast. Some people needs to get a reality check and leave the Valley/SoCal every so often.

    Frumps is right. I picked up, on two seperate occasions, British girls in Washington Square Park in New York City. One of them I took out to an outdoor cafe and spent about two hours talking but when it came to seeing one of the great DVDs that we talked about in my apt, she chickened out. Good thing she left me here email– i really had something to treasure… NOT. Frump1.

    Frump2: we spent the whole day together. She seemed alright, but indeed, homely. We went to an outdoor bar on top of a Times Square hotel. She told me she was very glad to have met me. After a few cosmos I asked for the check but she demanded to pay the tab. I let her. Went for the kiss but she backed away. Maybe I should’ve paid? She wanted to stay in touch. I threw her business in the first waste basket on the street. Frump? Yes.

    When I travelled in Continental Europe a couple of years back, I have to tell you I was flabbergasted by the quality of women. Everywhere I went women were attracted to me and spoke with me. I hooked up so many times with women in 8-10 category without a problem. European women are in a class by themselves. American women are psychologically not well put together. There something about the way European women are raised that matches their wit with their beauty.

    Oh, how I loathe the over-scented, over-dressed, over-coiffed, over-laquered American doll. Gimme a real Brit gal anyday.

  7. #6 — Move to Berkeley, you’ll be in heaven. Home of the vegan ball-buster.

  8. GregA says:

    #7 any small indy coffee shop anywhere really… They even pretend to speak with English accents sometimes… If they are not butch…

  9. Ron Larson says:

    Man… the girls in Berkeley are a fright. No shaving. No make up. No perfume. Dress like bums. No thanks! No Berkinstock wearing, hairy pits, tree hugging earth muffins for me.

    Regarding UK women. I think it depends on were you go. Look at Elizabeth Hurley and Catherine Zeta-Jones for example. Damn they are fine! I also know some beautiful UK women.

    #9,

    I know that you can find exceptions to that rule even in Michigan (we grow em large up here).

    Which brings me to a little update, in the last 20 minutes it was confirmed!!!! My first new Florida store is opening Feburary 1st 2008. Woo hoo, Im getting out of here!!!!

  11. McCullough says:

    #10. Enjoy the humidity and the hurricanes Greg. LOL.

  12. doug says:

    #2. not borne out by my experience in London. every time I saw some dumpy looking woman waddling down the street, an American accent invariably trailed behind …

  13. eaze says:

    I thought English chicks have the biggest tits in Europe?
    Sure thats been posted on DU a coupla times b4

    Stil they are bunch of slags tho!

  14. Inquiring Mind says:

    Why do these big women stuff the back of their pants with cottage cheese?

  15. bill says:

    Paris was the best. but I married an English lass. I agree with the Berkeley statement.

  16. Angel H. Wong says:

    This sorts of balances the fact that American women have the hots for skinny, effeminate, buck toothed brittish men.
