[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can learn to take better care of themselves:
- Reduce or eliminate alcoholic beverages 
- Wear no-makeup makeup
- Don’t tan
- Move more , not just exercise but more more in general 
- Eat a healthy diet
- Don’t walk/drive and eat/drink
- Speak softly

You must be thinking of Asian women. European women tan and drink a lot.[/quote]

Incorrect.  We don't really drink and there is major social shaming for women who abuse alcohol or get drunk. [b]As a woman in Europe,  you don't get drunk or fat. Both are unacceptable.  [/b]
To be fair, I haven't seen a lot of Hispanic or Black women here getting drunk either.  It's usually the white women who abuse alcohol - see below for research. And I don't think it's happy drunk either,  it's just a coping mechanism.

LOL you clearly spent no time near pubs in working class neighborhoods in Britain on a Friday night.  Or at cheap Costa Brava resorts. [/quote]

1. British aren’t really European

When people say europe, mostly they are referring to the mainland

2. People for sure aren’t thinking about British people in the 20 pages of this thread

3. British and American convergence on many metrics is larger than British-mainland convergence

Look at obesity rates and life expectancy. On these metrics British and Americans are closer than either is to say France [/quote]

So you don't think it's a bit intellectually dishonest to argue about "Europe" but then only pick the parts of Europe that work for your argument?

I mean what are you going to do when someone points out a major difference between, say, Ukrainian and German women? Say that one of them isn't really European?[/quote]
