[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lived in [b]Eastern Europe[/b] a while and was friends with various US expats, some there solo. [b]Happened to be lots of beautiful women in this country too[/b].

It was pretty normal to know lots of women and men, esp in Eastern Europe where lots of the real jobs are done by women (due to high alcoholism rates among the men). Even at professional events, it would be 70%+ female, and the bars were not that much different.

If your DH is social, then his behavior seems totally normal. Besides, he was there alone and eager to make friends. I did the same when I moved there -- went out a lot to make new friends and get over homesickness and loneliness.

My DW wouldn't bat an eyelash when we went out and I'd know various women. She knew I was social and had lots of friends. [/quote]

I've been spent a lot of time in EE too, and there are so many drop dead gorgeous women there.  When I look back at old US TV shows, I see women who are beautful - like Mrs. Cleaver or Donna Reed.  Somewhere along the way, American women went ugly.  What happened to our own home grown versions here in the good 'ol US of A?  [/quote]

I theorized on this a lot while living in EE. Multiple factors: high obesity rates in the US -- overweight people just aren't as attractive. Tied to that is: more walking in EE, because public transport is widely available and cheap, while cars are expensive; colder temperatures = burnign more calories; higher food prices = eat less; also in general, there's much more emphasis on beauty. The joke there is an EE women will put on full makup and outfit just to walk outside to get the mail. You'd rarely see a frumpy women under ago 50 out and about, and [i]never[/i] see a woman wearing sweatpants in public.[/quote]
