Does Britain Have An Inferior Gene Pool?

The reason why there has been a lack of activity on this blog is because I've decided to take some time off since graduating to travel, start a buisiness project, and spend some quality time with Xbox. Last month I went to Stockholm, Sweden and it is true what they say about the country. It is the land of beautiful people. The women were gorgeous. I've never seen women with such beauty. Mind you, I've never seen so many H&M stores too but that's going off-topic.

From my travels so far, I have observed that the populations of the areas that I've been to in general are far better looking than that back home. Perhaps it is early for me to type this before I head off to Brazil hopefully at the end of the month, but I am already arriving at the conclusion that Britain's gene pool is inferior to the rest of Europe and is probably one of the 'weakest' in the world. I must stipulate that this is purely based on observation. I have been thinking carefully why this is the case. Surely the invasions from the Saxons, Romans, Vikings, Normans and the in recent times, number of immigrants now living in Britain would have created a more diverse gene pool. Well according to a study by arcaheologist David Miles from the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford has unravelled that there has been little change in regards to the genes of Britons since the Ice Age.

There was a news article written a few years back in relation to a website called BeautifulPeople.com. Statistics from the site revealed that one in eight British men (about 12%) and just three in 20 women (roughly 15%) who have applied were accepted as members. So when you apply, you have a 48 provisional period whereby existing members rate you. Extremely shallow. I'm guessing it is a Scandanavian site but don't take my word for it. Swedish men have proved the most successful applicants, with two-thirds (65%) of those putting themselves forward being accepted. Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with more than three-quarters (76%) making the grade.

Since the website was opened to UK members in 2005, 295,000 people have applied, with only 35,000 being approved. Please note that the figures are out of date as it's information extracted from an old article. I have no idea what the current figures are but I'm guessing it'll still be low for Britons. The MD of the site Greg Hodge is himself English and when asked why Britain was doing badly, he said

"I think there is less emphasis on appearance in the UK than overseas. If you go to some countries they are very into how they look, very health and body conscious. The UK attitude is a bit more about kicking back and relaxing, and having a few drinks in the pub after work."

As I mentioned earlier, I had been thinking of reasons why Britons were 'ugly'. Could diet be a major factor and not getting enough essential healthy nutrients over generations and generations contritbute to this? Unattractive people mating with unattractive people creates more unattractive people? It's a mystery.

Here are two videos.

The first is a video comparisson of nighclubs in Sweden and The UK



The second is just general Swedish clubs. I can vouch for this one as I've been there.

Well that's it from me. Enjoy!
