Why are _____ girls so ____

into Google, and then noted what Google would add in at the end.

Here are the results.

American: Pretty, Stuck up, Mean
Mexican: Mean, Easy, Fertile
Canadian: Pretty
Brazilian: Sexy, Amazing
British: Easy, Ugly
French: Easy, Thin
German: Strange, Tall, Ugly
Belgian: Muscular
Italian: Hairy, Sexy
Spanish: Easy, Pretty, Fertile
Russian : Mean, Beautiful, Easy
Korean: Materialistic, Crazy
Japanese: Annoying, High-pitched
Chinese: Easy, Attractive, Shy
Indian: Rude, Conservative
Persian: Pretty, Beautiful
Arabic: Controlling, Possessive
Israeli: Pretty

Asian: Attractive, Clingy Yahoo, Attracted to White Guys
Black: Rude, Unattractive, Sassy
Latino: Gorgeous, Scary
White: Attractive, Mean, Easy

Jewish: Mean, Stuck Up, Possessive
Christian: Mean, Hot, Easy
Muslim: Beautiful, Pretty

Some of these results were pretty interesting. Who knew people tend to ask why both Spanish and Mexican girls are so fertile? Or why French girls are Easy and Thin, but German girls from just next door are Strange and Tall? Or why Muslim girls get so much love but Jewish girls are so hated?

This has to mean that somewhere some guys who have dated these girls (likely from a cross-ethnic perspective) had to have asked these questions (which is how they entered Google's collective consciousness.) So I guess my question to TL is about all of your trans-ethnic or trans-religious dating experiences. Did it match the stereotypes above? Or not?

PS Please no stereotypes involving poo-poo and riding crops, thank you.

EDIT: And the men...

Why are ___ men so

American: Tall, arrogant, fat

British: Attractive, effimante, shy

Belgian: Muscular
Italian: flirty, arrogant, attractive
Spanish: Short, handsome, jealous
Russian : big, strong, rude
Korean: Feminine, hot, tall
Japanese: Feminine, weird, sexist
Chinese: Rude, feminine, small
Indian: Abusive, creepy, ugly
Persian: <No results>
Arabic: Possessive
Israeli: difficult, hot, good-looking

just word of mouth and people searching stereotypes spread really fast.

Given this was the closing reason of the first thread:

This seems like potentially the worst idea for a topic in the history of ever.

I don't think the idea was to go and repost it in blogs.

You can't say that this is representative of countries' men because 1. Not all men have the interent and thus this isn't representative

2. This shows most searched, not the only searched, thus it could be congruent with a demographic of men of a certain moreso than men specified to a country

3. Due to point #2, if a certain age uses google more than another group of a country, then that is going to be shown more than others. Also, the justification of why they ask these questions are heavily diversified and so making presumptions is just stacking stereotypes.

Stereotypes are perpetuations continued by the media and mimicked by current society gender misperceptions. Some of these stereotypes are dated from earlier decades or centuries and have less relevance (except on a personal anecdotal level).

People also like to filter and fit personal truths of characteristics between religions and ethnic groups to be able to dictate what "kind" of women they like rather than the kind of person they feel. Ethnic groups and religions play a supportive role in one's overall growth of a personality, but they're not necessarily associative as much as other majoring factors such as sibling rivalry, exposure to social groups and upbringing by parents and their socieconomic status as well as cultural prioritization.

All in all to say that on a personal level, someone can recall a time or several times when catholic women have been possessive (or whatever it was) and if they live in North-Western Hemispheric countries, the likelihood that they meet Catholic women who pertain to any of these characteristics is much higher given the majority religion in his country is catholic (thus more chances and more lilkelihood of these two traits matching up). So although he may see catholic women as being selfish or some shit, in reality Muslim women could be too, he just has experienced it as much or is subconsciously cherry-picking to avoid further experiencing conflicting personalities that he doesn't find attractive (thus social filtering).

Thanks KwarK.

Also I was going to open this up with a funny story:

So when I was in the London for a semester, I dated this really cute Punjabi girl whose family was also in London. Things were going along really well and she wanted me to come over for dinner. She told me it was a potluck so I went to Tesco and bought a cooked roast chicken and a bottle of wine. I showed up at the door and got a handshake from her dad and then this really strange glare when he saw my shopping bag.

I didn't know what was up, so I looked at her, and she looked beet-red. Turns out her entire family except for her was vegetarian.

After running back to Tesco and returning in record time with something else, we all sat down and had a nice dinner.

Was an interesting first for me, I'd never known Indians were often vegetarian. But I can definitely say Indian girls are not rude, lol. The fact that she let me back into the house and stuck up for me in front of her parents was awesome, and though things didn't work out between us, we still keep in touch.

I'd Imagine most people that search for 'why are _____ girls so _____' aren't from that country. As an American I'd never search for 'Why are American girls so pretty?' That's for sure. I suppose if I just got rejected or hurt by one I might search for a negative term though.

I think this is pretty interesting actually, but just because it points out certain trends in search terms. Why those trends exist is the interesting part. For example, I think the Japanese girls being 'annoying and high pitched' is probably due to people watching japanese porn, where they do sound really fucking annoying and high pitched.

French: Easy, Thin

Not sure if they're that thin compared to others but that was quite accurate overall.

She was probably more forgiving given your non-Indian background and the fact that she didn't mention her family being vegetarian. She was probably responsible and blamed herself for failing to tell her about her familiy's eating habits and thus her parents were accepting of it, despite the social mishap and poor first-impression.

Also, Indians are not necessarily vegetarian, I think you should investigate why they were vegetarian and then see if its relative to their actual ethnic group.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend about the media. If something happens once, it's a trend. If it happens twice, it's a certainty.

Day 1: guy falls into a woodchipper. Headline for that day: "Guy falls in woodchipper", Editorial "Are woodchippers safe?"

Day 2: guy falls into a woodchipper. Headline for that day: "Summer of the woodchipper", Editorial "How many lives have to be lost before the government acknowledges the woodchipper epidemic?"

Well I did a little digging afterwards and found out something like 55% of Brahmins (her caste, I guess) were vegetarian.

And agreed on the non-Indian background thing. Being a dorky Chinese kid can let you get away with shit that other ethnicities can't, lol.

You know, one of the things I always found strange was why Chinese guys never seemed interested in dating non-Chinese. Growing up in Socal it wasn't that apparent to me, but when I went back to China and asked, none of my relatives wanted to date anything other than a nice, white-skinned Chinese girl. Didn't get it
