Having personally ogled the fit, tanned, dark-eyed, self-possessed female IDF-trained killers holding M-16s at the ready, I am here to testify in the most chauvinist terms possible that they are <B>hott</B>.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, they're beautiful in a way that simply does not exist in America. I fell into a couple minutes of reverie just remembering them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-45395404253531926712007-03-05T17:58:00.000-05:002007-03-05T17:58:00.000-05:00I think basically that asian guys have the most ca...I think basically that asian guys have the most cachet, hands down, and are really the hot thing right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-41382832137044677832007-03-04T12:57:00.000-05:002007-03-04T12:57:00.000-05:00Actually, a French boyfriend has lots of cachet.

Their image was feminine, however: a guy in touch with his feelings, romantic, sexy, speaking the language of love, etc. And I admit, my boyfriend was all these things.<BR/><BR/>However, France is indeed seen by Americans as feminine because of what we associate it with: love, food, art, and military weakness; all things commonly thought of as being the domain of women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-26924875113206472562007-03-04T05:22:00.000-05:002007-03-04T05:22:00.000-05:00While I agree with the validity of most of the ste...While I agree with the validity of most of the stereotypes you list, I will make two corrections:<BR/><BR/>- You drastically underrate the charms of Israeli women. They're almost as hot as French women.<BR/><BR/>- No one of either gender wants an English paramour. Seriously, that's just a sick idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
