I hate this idea that French women are somehow less concerned with their body weight. Visit a French pharmacy. Every single one devotes 40 percent of its real estate to 'slimming' powders, shakes and pills. Their packaging is just more fashionable.

The Frenchwoman in the picture looks like Tina Fey dressed as Liz Lemon's French cousin who comes to visit in a very special episode of 30 Rock.

I believe the Frenchwomen myth stems from the end of WWII and the post-war years, when American servicemen and ex-pats were convinced that French women were superior. Of course, they had brought candy bars, lipstick and nylons, which might have been motivating the French women to be charming to them.

@whatafxckingloser: I think it goes on what you're used to though. A lot of New York women look uncomfortable to me because I inherantly think trousers suits look too put together plus they wear more make-up than I am used to seeing and have very plucked eyebrows. Also Texan women had scarily perfect hair in my eyes. I don't know what my point is really just that I guess people are more comfortable with what they grow up with, which in my case is sartorial inelegance.

Did anyone see the psycho commenter at the bottom of the article? He writes:

"European women, especially Russian, Swedish and French are FAR superior to the typical American nasty fatso classless uneducated lazy slobs. Foreign women are more petite, more stylish, better educated, harder working, more intelligent and friendlier than American feminazis. Foreign women know how to dress much better than ANY woman in America. The American government is trying to stop American men from dating foreign women because American women have been complaining about the competition. The feminazis even passed a law called "The International Marriage Broker's Regulation Act" (IMBRA) to prevent American men from even corresponding with foreign women. But once you date a foreign woman, you will never want to date an American woman ever again."

I'm actually that he's never dated a real woman *ever* but his real doll is totally named Giselle.

@shellybean: I'm grateful that he's so upfront with his douchey-ness, as it saves time in pondering whether to get to know him or not.

However, I'm kind of praying that it's a troll, because the thought of men who would say that and mean it, upfront or no, is terrifying.

@shellybean: bahahahaha.

Actually as an English person I can tell you that is all true. Every word of it. There are no fat English people. There are no English people vomiting in streets or wearing thongs over their trousers or wandering around dressed in slobby tshirts and too tight and short skirts and too high heels. Not at all. Those pics they occasionally post here are part of a UK government conspiracy to prevent people from realising we are all perfect because if you feminazis in America found out you would come over and kill us to stop us stealing your men of whom that chap is perfect example. I swear this is the true, I'm not simply pulling it from my arse.

Bah (or as the French would say while shrugging, 'bof', which some how sounds so much better in French). Here in the craptastic world of England we spit on your Yankee grooming and your French savoir faire, which we can not spell anyway (and nor would we want to,bally awful foreign languages). The world knows that all you need to pull is a dilapitated family pile, some dogs, an ill fitting floral tea dress and the ability to drink all day and night and then ride to the hounds the next day. So there.

Guys tend to get excited when I tell them I'm part French. Then again, I also use "I'm French!" as the reason why I hate wearing clothes.

French women (and men) are better than us because they live in a world of 8 weeks of MANDATORY vacation. And the women can ride bikes while wearing skirts and not get tangled up in the chain.

Of course, it's that whole "wine with lunch" thing that makes me wish I were a French woman....

@FattyCatty: and also the free child care that the state provides from the time a baby is 30 days old, and the two years of unpaid leave you can take while your job is secure. And the state-paid health care.

Plus, I got the best French manicure I've ever had -- in France!

I'm jealous of the French chics because from what I've seen, it is completely unnecessary to wash your hair every day. Meaning it's okay and not gross to go out with greasy hair. Also I sometimes don't wear deodorant, and if I lived in France and told someone that, they wouldn't be all "Ewww!" and hold their nose like they do here in the states.

******I WOULD LIKE TO NOISILY REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE DO, IN FACT, HAVE A VERY VALID REASON TO BE JEALOUS OF THE FRENCH AND IF I WAS ABLE TO POST A PICTURE OR VIDEO I WOULD. ALAS I CANNOT SO LET ME REFRESH YOUR COLLECTIVE MEMORIES BY SAYING:

LE HIPOPOTAME ET LE SINGE ET LE LION.....ETC ETC

YOU KNOW WHO I'M YELLING ABOUT, AND WHY.

@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: that's ok in most places in the world outside of America.I fail on a regular basis in America, daily and hourly I sense people judging my failure to wax regularly or wash my hair if I'm only wandering down the street to look at food and books.

@emilyanne: Yeah, I remember reading somewhere about how Americans are the most soap-obsessed people in the world. Although honestly, I hate the smell of my hair at the end of the day. By five it usually smells like sebum and cigarette smoke. Also I'm a user of baby-wipes in the latrine.

Sigh. I'll never be French.

@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: count your blessings though, you will also never be English.

On another note I always have to leave huge tips in US manicure and pedicure joints because I feel so embarrassed by my crappy standards of grooming in contrast to their usual clients.

Having been a French girl prior to being an American one, I can say with some certainty that we're really kind of average. We do view food and eating differently, but on the whole I think the 'secret' to gorging on the ubiquitous pastries (my god how I miss them) while not gaining weight is simple -- in the average French town, you walk everywhere. Sometimes it's because there's a transport strike, of course, but on the days there aren't any you'll still end up walking. I couldn't put on weight to save my life when I was in school, and I was trying!

@JulesNoctambule: in Paris, it's the stairs in Le Metro. There are no elevators, and hardly any escalators. Plus, blocks on Paris boulevards seem twice as long as in New York, and a two-block walk there is equal to a four-block walk in NYC.

@brendastarlet is on it: ha that's funny cos in contrast to London I always think New York has no elevators or esculators. I mean I know the subways do but they're always miles away and it makes more sense just to walk up the stairs. Also I have to say London is the laziest city in the world, I walk ten times more now I live in New York, partially because the wait between subways trains is so long it seems quicker just to walk it.
