The British women I've had to deal with were pretty gross and hairy. Also, the past week I've been at the beach and I've seen a lot of Brits. Those women look just like the ones I deal with at work. The eating disorders where I'm from consists of eating too much. Kentucky has one of the highest obesity rates in America. I think we ranked around 7 or 8 out of all of the states. Oh yeah and what about Susan Boyle? She had a unibrow and went on national tv with it! I think the point we were trying to get across is that both Americans and British are related, mainly because Americans used to be British until about 300 years ago or whenever. Your location on Earth does not change your appearance in such a short space of time, so the argument that British women are "gross and hairy" doesn't hold. I could equally find a lot of American women who were gross and hairy.
You even prove my point by stating that your state has the highest obesity rates in America. Being obese is not considered attractive by "society" in general, so I could make the case that all the fat women in Kentucky are "beasts". I wouldn't, but that's because I'm not into attacking people over their looks.
On your Susan Boyle comment, I went over the pictures of her and can't see her supposed "unibrow". Sure, she's ugly, but she if you are going to hold one person as a stereotype for the rest of us, I might as well hold Marguerite Perrin (wife swap) as a stereotype for all Americans:

If you want to see some nice looking women from the same "Britain's Got Talent" that Boyle went on, do the Google search.

All I'm saying is from what I've experienced the British women have been beasts. Susan Boyle looks great now. They gave her a makeover. In one of my classes last semester my teacher showed us a clip of her performing on Britains Got Talent. At that point the poor woman had a unibrow. I remember we were all kinda laughing at it. I can only go by what I've experienced. Even though most of the Brit women I've met have been pretty gross they were cool people. I was agreeing with your American stereotype of fat people. All of the fat women in Kentucky are beasts. I make up a very small majority of skinny people in the state. As a matter of fact fat women are so common that they will actually talk about skinny women who are healthy like there's something wrong with them!! I had a woman ask me if I enjoyed eating salads? I was like "yes...about as much as you enjoy your Big Mac". She didn't like that much.
That wife swap chick IS a common stereotype of women in my area. Fat and Jesus freaks. I know people just like her. That's why it was so funny when I watched that episode.

Like I said, I don't see a unibrow:

That's a photo of her at her audition...
You have no reason other than your personal experience to justify your odd belief that all British women are beasts. As a supposedly "rational" person you should know better than to make such arguments from a personal level. Location (especially given the similarity of wealth in america/britain) does nothing to affect personal appearance. It's all down to genes, and failing that, makeup. In Britain, we have an over-abundance of makeup stores, so I don't think that's it.

Oh now you've done it! You've brought back some scary memories. That woman was horrible and insane. That episode was way worse than any horror movie I've seen.
I've never seen Britain's Got Talent, but I watch America's Got Talent every week. Love Piers and Sharon!
By the way Sharon Osbourne is stunningly beautiful. Isn't she British? It's funny, the 2 people on that show with a brain aren't Americans.

It has many different influences so it's not going to be the same. I can't even understand anyone from North Dakota and then those Texans...they really butcher anything that comes out of ther mouths.
