Left, with makeup, American. Right, without makeup, French.

Ping!
Pit hair, body odor and unshaved legs are so hot....NOT.
One would hope for a catfight, but as soon as the clothes started flying the white flags would be flying like bats out of Mammoth Cave.
American women also use deodorant, as do American men.
The French could take a lesson from that.
Should be fun:-)
C'mon guys, I know the French are idiotic 99% of the time, but they are right about this. Standards of beauty have gone downhill in the last decade. Paris Hilton and Britney Spears would have been mocked hideously in the 70's and 80's.
Personally, I blame Clinton : )
The thing about America... It is like we are number one at everything. Sure, We have the fattest and some of the ugliest people in the world. But we also have the skinniest and most beautiful as well. Nothing is homogeneous about this country at all. A country full of fat-ass lazy slobs, yet, we have the most Athletic, WE WIN THE OLYMPICS, almost all the time at least in the most recent history. That's just America.
I think the French are wrong. I've always been taught that any old barn needs paint. :-)

Text message from daughter attending math conference: "The Europeans are beginning to smell."
Another French
All American
OK....I've been to France and the woman on the street does have a certain chic....until (in my experience there) the hairdresser raises her arms to do your hair and all that underarm hair poufs out and that certain chic goes out the window forever. eeeeeeeewwwwww
As much as I loathe their foolish, ungrateful politics, I must confess that I think French women the most beautiful in the world, followed closely by Indian women. I don't know why or where it comes from, but they are. It's not just their facial features, it's the way they dress and do their hair, even the way they walk and talk.
I must agree with the author about the "American Beauty" look - it is overdone. Too much. The French let their beauty speak for them, instead of their implants, bleached hair, fake tan and lip gloss like American "beauties" do. And the author is right on something else too - all of this artifice is covering something up...something inside. Sorry, Ivan. I'm happy with my looks, but if I could look, walk and talk like a French woman, I would be much more attractive to guys, and that's what we all want, isn't it? :^D
Makeup has a great protective effect that will be anti-aging in the long run if you're diligent about putting it on every morning and also diligent about slathering sunblock if you spend any amount of time in the sun.
