Travel Female Hotness Index

[BotsMaster]

So I spotted this on the interweb and thought it deserved its own thread.

Having never left this country I'd say they're pretty spot on about Australia

 

[Bunk Moreland]

The UK should be way lower for starters

 

[grouse mate]

Was unaware that areas from Geraldton around to Darwin and a lot of Cape York was known for hot chicks.

 

[Catfish Alley]

From a Canadian perspective, I'm not sure how Maritimers match Swedes, Italians etc.

It's extremely harsh on Africa.

 

[Doss]

The New York Times ran an article with this?

Seems legit.

 

[Chameleon75]

Should be renamed the whiteness index

Yeah, that was my other thought...

 

[Chameleon75]

Yeah, that was my other thought...

these things are in the eye of the beholder, generally people find those in their own ethnic group more attractive than others, suspect that if you re did this survey with people from say Africa, you might get a different graph.

 

[HBF]

Wonder how long it took them to research that.....

 

[PowerbaII]

Spain needs to be higher, most of the women I saw there were absolutely stunning. Rest of the world is pretty accurate imo

 

[Catfish Alley]

Brazil and India are under-indexing too.

 

[Resistor]

I knew 'journalism' in this country was bad, but this is next level

 

[Catfish Alley]

Definitely newsworthy. Should be moved to the geography thread due to it's legitimacy.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Actually having looked at it, it's waaaay wrong on most places. IMO of course

 

[craigos]

Are they saying the Emperor Penguins of Antarctica are white hot? Whilst they're bloody cute, I wouldn't call them hot.

What I mean is how far does this stuff have to go before they do not want to put their logo on it? When does it look bad on the company? Or they don't care because they will sell newspapers/online subscriptions/ get facebook likes anyway

No data so I'd say it is a female wasteland

I haven't read the article. Being the New York Times I imagine they published it in an ironic kinda way.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

This is so racist

lol

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I'm offended by this obvious display of sexism

 

[garrydavis]

lol how most of europe is attractive-beautiful yet africa is revolting-horrendous.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Revolting and horrendous? I'm not attracted to the women in those countries as much as others but that seems incredibly harsh. Also, parts of Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Czech Rep., half of Ukraine etc.) and South America seem a tad under-indexed IMO.

 

[Doss]

Has anyone played Google detective and searched if this actually came from the NYT? I did and couldn't find anything.

 

[Gough]

The data sources present a compelling case.

 

[GROTTO]

Should be renamed the whiteness index

correct call, accurate call, decisive call.

I dont disagree with the OP per se, it is bloody racist however. Imagine if The Age ran with a story like this, because lets face it we all know which culture predominates central Australia.
