Europe is a large place, so it’s hard to generalize about women from so many different countries. But I can say with certainty that European women have more in common with each other than with their American counterparts (except women in the UK and, to lesser extend, Scandinavian countries, which are much more Westernized).
European women are more uniform in looks
In any European country that I’ve lived, it was very rare to see a very gorgeous girl or a very ugly girl. Of course, there are stunners here and there, but the variance has been lower than in major American cities (e.g., New York, Chicago or San Francisco). In America, it’s very common for a very cute girl to really stand out. While here in Europe, it’s very rare that I see an absolute knockout walking around (relatively to other women).
On a typical afternoon, while riding the subway in New York, one would see all kinds of different women: there would be a average-looking girl; a goth girl wearing all black with dyed black hair; a chubby girl wearing an oversized college sweatshirt; a punk girl sporting converses and holding a skateboard; and maybe some cute girl with a perfect body and beautiful face that every guy in the metro would be salivating and checking out.
But in Europe, most of the women are more uniform in their looks. They will be wearing nice high heels, a beautiful top, and perhaps a nice skirt (depending on the season). They would all uniformly feminine with beautiful long hair.
When I lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, I remember on many occasions noticing an absolutely gorgeous girl (a typical blonde beauty), but then realizing that very soon, maybe just around the corner, there will be another one just like her. My memory of the first girl would fade quicker. In America, I would be remembering about that attractive girl for the rest of the day (or more).
The good thing about constantly being surrounded by cute women is that you no longer get anxious or nervous when you see one and want to approach; she’s just another cute girl in a sea of many cute women.
European women are, on average, prettier than American women
This is closely related to the point above. I can be riding a bus in any major European city—Madrid, Copenhagen, Kiev or Vilnius—and be literally surrounded by slim and attractive women. When I was in Southern Europe, Balkans and Eastern Europe, I would literally go for days without noticing an ugly girl. It was a complete shock at first, but after several weeks, the feeling has worn off, and I stopped really caring. Being surrounded by attractive women simply became the new normal.
On the other hand, in New York City, I would easily pick out a lone cute girl in a subway or a bus. She would be standing out like a sore thumb, as though she was a colored object within a black and white movie scene. Likewise, in America every now and then you might see a very cute woman like Scarlett Johansson or Zooey Deschanel on the street. In Spain, I routinely saw women that looked like Penelope Cruz. That has been my experience in major European cities: Prague, Bucharest, Budapest, Lisbon, and others.
One side effect of this was that I don’t really notice guys paying too much attention to cute women. Guys aren’t staring at women with hands in their pants, while exclaiming: “she’s so hot.”
European women dress classier than American women
American women dress purely for comfort. They’re not dressing to impress anyone. I remember riding a metro in Barcelona when I saw a group of American women sitting on the opposite side. I looked over and saw them wearing nice black dresses. Then I looked down and noticed they were also wearing white flip-flops. I can understand it was a hot summer evening, but the image of someone going out to a club in flip-flops was absolutely revolting. European women wear stylish clothes with either open toe or closed toe flats.
I’ve even seen women wearing pajamas on a couple of occasions on New York streets. I’m not sure if that was some new trend or something.
The girl I used to date in Romania would make an effort to dress nicely just to walk to a nearby grocery store around the corner. She could never understand how women thought it was attractive to be sporting flip-flops unless they’re on the sand on some beach. I couldn’t agree more.
European women are more straightforward in dating
Every seasoned player in America knows that there’s a particular script when dating women in America. Get to a bar, have a couple of drinks, and then see if she’s down for a pleasant fluid exchange at your place. There are times when she won’t explicitly invite you in for fear of appearing a slut, but still doesn’t want the date to end. In those cases, you’ll need to be more proactive that “you want to continue the date.”
