Danish Beauty

Surprised myself but meanwhile I have been here long enough to say: I actually think that Danish people often are stunningly beautiful. Men tell me that about Danish women and I really would say this about men. For example: sometimes when I sit and tipp my way along at Cafe Moonfishers this guy sits at another table and I think this is ridiculously unreal, what moovie did he jump out of? He is way more goodlooking than Daniel Day-Lewis! For men: Kind of as if Julia Roberts suddenly stood in front of you.
Sharing my observations with T. and M. (non-Danes) they completely agree and say that still today friends in Latin America talk about the legendary beauty of Danes that had visited them many years ago. T. says in his eyes Copenhagen is the world capital of beautiful people. Hey, that’s quite something!
C. who is originally from Copenhagen and lives in Vienna since a few years aggrees on my observation. He says that from a western point of view Danes are beautiful/perfect and when he first mooved to Vienna a lot of people seemed quite ugly to him. But now he prefers the Viennese looks because he thinks it is more interesting and not so homogenuous. Mmhh.
I do not know what kind of beauty the Danish beauty is. I see a lot of freshness and strength. Sometimes a bit raw. Sometimes maybe facets of British elegance. Maybe this in combination with the natural freshness is the secret?
