Oh I had a HUGE crush on a guy from Sweden once. *sigh* Every time I saw him I nearly threw up. It was torture. But... having a little Norwegian DNA and being a bit of a narcissist I'm going to have to vote Norway. 8)

I visited Sweden once, and there were some pretty hot guys there. I'll cast my official vote one I've had the opportunity to visit Norway... :-)

Norwegian women.

Marilyn Monroe as an example.

I just looked it up, and it's true: Marilyn Monroe's father was Norwegian. There's a bit of trivia I didn't know.

But I suppose this means it is more accurate to describe Marilyn Monroe as half-Norwegian.

I will say my opinions later, but for now, go ahead and "vote"!


It's a fair question, and if I had spent some time in both countries I might be able to form an opinion.
I personally cannot picture a typical Swedish look as distinct from a typical Norwegian look.
That's not to say other people would not be able to notice differences.
In fact (going off on a tangent here) I've been wondering lately out of curiosity if there are certain looks that can be fairly confidently matched to certain specific countries, and I have come up with the following: :)

A typically Russian look: tennis player Vera Zvonareva

Image

A typically Dutch look: swimmer Inge De Bruijn

Image

A typically Irish look: actress Dervla Kirwan

There is a lot more variation within the two countries than there is between them.

Really? I'm Swedish, and I find the Swedish language goofy and lacking in nuance and expressiveness.


I think he means the way it sounds. I have to agree - Swedish is very lacking, in that regard, when it comes to words... there's not even a hot word that can compare with 'cum'... as in the *result* of coming. And even 'hot'... 'het' or 'läcker' don't really compare, do they? At least not in my view. Countless other examples... -_-; that's why when I find my true love, I will find her outside of Sweden, so I can just talk English with her... of course, except when whispering sweet nothings in her ear, while in my lap, or while in bed, that she doesn't understand. The only sexy word I miss in the English language is 'skönt' - in regards to when it's used to describe sexual pleasure.

I probably shouldn't vote... but I vote for myself. ;)

Try "Mellanmjölk". It's about as nothing as it gets, but it's got a ring to it.

Or maybe I'd sometimes talk like I did with my dog (and my parents' and siblings' dog), when he lived - talking all lovey and nice to him, in my tone, but really saying that he was ugly, stupid and totally empty-headed, and that I hated him. :P Not that he was any of that and I actually loved him, but sure was amusing. :P Maybe saying something of that sort, haha.

I found something today that reminded me of this thread. It's a comparison of female facial averages for several countries (including Sweden but not Norway): http://i.imgur.com/lO9OV.jpg

It was apparently created by getting hold of some images via internet searches and plugging them in to a piece of facial-averaging software located at the following URL: http://www.faceresearch.org/demos/average

i think that can be said about all of the scandinavian countries, even culturally we have a lot in common, i remember growing up on a steady diet of astrid lindgreen.

Denmark don't have Sami so that's points lost for Denmark.

Norway. Definately Norway.

This is probably because I'm nowadays very pro-Norway, due to essentially using my Norwegian ancestry to justify not associating with Sweden to myself.
