    Good news! Swedes are the most attractive men and women in the world and also the most likely to have sex on the first date!
    Some dating website did a survey of it's most attractive members. In total over 30,000 participated.

    Swedish women got 27,5 % of the votes for most beautiful. Swedish men got an astounding 34,9%.
    In all 81% of beautiful Swedes admitting to casual sex on the first date!

    Eh... only problem is most of us live in Ireland and can't see enough Swedish people! Plus beer is ridiculously expensive there:)

    Jasus, i think a trip to sweeden this summer is certainly in order !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Dublin has thousands of young Swedish au pairs apparently (hearsay) and the price of a pint in Dub city centre is the same as in Stockholm, 4-6 euro depending on establishment.

    Ya i'd probably agree with this......was in Bulgaria (Sunny Beach) last summer......the resort is probably 70% filled with Scannies......and oh my good God are they good looking. Going there again next week....only this time single and with 4 mates... he he -> dons a pervy grin

    Spent 7 euro on a pint of guinness in Stockholm a few years back (stupid idea, I know). Watched aghast as the barman put a straight (!!) glass under a tap, pushed a button and walked away as a stream of muddy brown guinness pissed itself into the glass :mad:

    Then again, I was greeted by drop-dead gorgeous smiling tanned blondes in McDonalds. Tis a great country for sure, not for guinness drinkers though :)

    Don't know about that, in Lund at least the price is closer to 6-7 :(

    But the key points is that because swedish women are so ridiculously hot they're mostly 1 pinters, whereas your averarge irish girl is a 3 to 4 pinter !

    Not in my experience. The standard price for a Budweiser or Heineken worked out much more expensive than dirty 'auld Dublin :(

    I don't know about that. Swede's in my experience stick with the vodka and get absolutely buckled when they go out for the night.

    The concept of the pinter scale is how many pints it would take you to want to take said person to bed, so by calling swedish women 1 pinters it means you would only require 1 pint or less to find them attractive !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭Raekwon


    There is no doubting that Swedes are hot, but you cannot leave out their Scandinavian neighbours: Denmark & Norway, They are equally as hot! :D (Btw I'm not counting Finland because IMO the girls up there are weird looking and errrrrr weird in general in my experience).

    As for pint prices, places like Stockholm and Copenhagen are around the same price as Dublin (between €4-6) but Oslo is alittle steeper at around €7-8 for a pint.

    Don't feel bad. It was only by 5 days. :D

    And not because they're not Scandanavians?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    I work in a Swedish company, lots of Swedes come over all the time and I don't think they're that hot (I'm looking at the men, but none of the women struck me as being that attractive). Alos, my friend lived in Stockholm for a few months and apparenty a lot of Swedes (again, the men) are quite arrogant. Wouldn't you rather have a nice Irish girl... we're good fun and are up for a laugh!!

    You NEED to drink to want to sleep with beautiful women?

    Norweigan's are equally hot, and from what I've heard they're big into the irish look. Yay, my freckles finally have a purpose!

    Okay, so it's not one of the three kingdoms of Scandinavia but Finland is sometimes included in the cultural and historical concept of Scandinavia (as are Iceland and The Faroe Islands).

    Been there a few times, it's a great country, very good looking race of people indeed. Alcohol is expensive, and that's when you can find a half decent pub :D If you go to the Dubliner Pub you will more than likely pay more for a pint than you would in Dublin, nicer looking company in Sweden tho :)

    Comparison of the VIP section of a Swedish nightclub with some Geordie knack hole full of coked up burberry scum. Good comparison lads :confused:

    Is it just me or do most of the decent birds in the Swedish shots look like many of those you would see on a night out in town? Ive no idea re Sweden as I havent met enough to judge, but believe me the Irish are among the better looking women in the west of this continent.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Sawa


    There are quite a few Swedes in Dublin at the moment, well maybe it's just in the places where I would frequent but they are very pretty but my male friends have informed yes, while they are hot, most of them do not have much of personality.
    I don't know about that but I can certainly say there are quite a few over here and that sex on the first date thing is definetly true for the 6 that I personally know! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Beer prices in Sweden can vary a lot. At a pizzeria you can get a pint of lager for about 39 SEK (4.50 euro), at a more flash place 58 SEK (6.50 euro).

    More comparisons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Gekko


    pretty sure the hot blonde working in the bank around the corner from my office in town is a scandi

    knew quite a few in uni and most of the girls were hot - norwegians, swedish and danish

    have always wanted to go backpacking around denmark, norway and sweden

    I'm not usually into the veering on Albino (at times) Swedish ladies.

    However, I've found that the Norwegian ladies are quite nice. They're more exotic looking and seem to be less boring. Maybe because the Fjordlander brutes nabbed all those foreign women slaves several centuries ago to inject some spice into their gene pool.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    swede's are really cool people. I went to place called Umeå, really nice people.

    Also my bro's girlfriend is swedish and she's dead sound. So swedes rock indeed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    I live in Gothenborg and at the weekend i bought 2 bottles of Smirnoff Vodka 6 litres of wine a 12 pack of Heineken and 2 bottles of cheap ass champagne for just under 70 euro.
    As for the goodlooking thing. Yes they are outrageously good looking. But sound to boot and really laid back. The guys are into their grooming and working out and the girls too. Caliden see ya soon.:)

    They are incredibly arrogant (of course not all of them, but a lot) which is odd because they are generally humourless, and dull. (lack of personality as Sawa says).

    And I know a number of Swedish people, and have met many others.

    So how many Swedish people do you know to base this scientific conclusion on?
    Its like saying irish people are drunks (not all of them but a lot) and that they fight all the time. Its simply not true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Bro lives there and is a married to a Swede. I've been there about 10 times and I'm pretty bored of it now. There are loads of 'em in Dublin too. Used to hang aruond with a bunch of 'em a few years back. Mad for booze and putting about so they were. I think Finnish girls are definitely better looking. I think with Scandanavia it's more a different look that we're used to as opposed to out-and-out better. Whereas in Estonia, they're just better!

    Shouldn't this be in the Swede forum?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭DadaKopf


    (Btw I'm not counting Finland because IMO the girls up there are weird looking and errrrrr weird in general in my experience).
    Finns are weird in general. But the ladies are mostly rides. I lived in Helsinki for a while. Thing is, as weird as they are at first, turns out they're all generally a bit shy, once you get to know them, they're AWESUM!!!

    But when I was there, it was a Swedish student, not a Finn, who was flashing her minge on the main street at 5 in the morning (Mannerheimintie).

    Having been all over the nordic countries (and totally in love with their clear blue skies and delicious herring), the mingingest for me were in Norway. Denmark, Sweden, Finland = deadly.

    But for total Aryan hotness, the Mecca is Austria. Vienna, specifically.

    er.

    At what point did I state it was scientific? :p

    Unfortunatly I've met too many Swedes in my life :D

    There is a prominent drink culture in Ireland, I'll agree with you there. :)

    It's worth pointing out that in all of Scandinavia the Danish listen to metal the least and they have the poorest standard of living out of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Metal=teh way to go.

    I was in a pub near Arlanda one night and the Swedish Bikini Team were there....That was fairly brilliant.

    Hang on, Bikini is now a sport? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Workplaces have 'teams' such as the IT 'team. I don't think IT is a sport either!....And anyway, I wont hear a bad word against 'em!
