I find it to be a huge generalization and also not true when people say English girls are ugly. I have spent a lot of time in England and seen many pretty girls. Also my current girlfriend is English and she is very hot. So I don't understand why this stereotype is so commonly used. Technically A hot WASP American girl is of English descent which makes the stereotype seem even more untrue. I just don't get why everyone says this.

the stereotype is because of the way english women looked during the dark ages and during the plague and stuff, thats when they looked like people imagine them, well i guess it hasn't gone away

My dad seems to think this too. I have no idea why!
Maybe because (and this is a long shot...) the English are always seen as sort of "prim and proper", whereas the American girls are sort of portrayed as these "party girl" types.
So okay, if this is the case--what sort of girl do you visualize in each scenario?
Cultural stereotypes, I guess, lead to false depictions of what people actually look like...

okay the inbreeding thing is way off and if there is anyone that is NOT inbreeding it is the English Sass B. and djtzclark, you visited newcastle wants and saw some unatrractive people so that means ALL English girls are ugly. That really shows your ignorance. Spend some time in most of suburban United States and you will see some really ugly chicks. Generalizations suck.

Maybe they are basing their opinion on pictures of the Royal Family?!

Princess Anne was quite homely when she was younger, perhaps this is why.

I traveled there to New Castle once. I have to say: "I agree that they are a bit ugly." truth hurts. Sorry.

it's a combination of inbreeding and bad teeth
