Sweden is located on the northern peninsula of Scandinavia. It has beautiful people. These are the Swedes, whose appearance leads many to a state of delight. And there is very real evidence for this assertion. The appearance of male Swedes is considered the most attractive among representatives of other nationalities. Don't believe? Meanwhile, in 2012, the international company Travelers Digest compiled a rating of countries where the most beautiful representatives of the strong half of humanity live. The Swedes were among the first.
Man's appearance: description of national traits
Scandinavians are Caucasian. Therefore, the appearance of the Swedes differs little from that of the British, Germans, Slavs, and so on. They have regular facial features, a straight straight nose, medium-sized ears, lips and eyes. Growth is usually slightly above average. But quite tall people are often encountered, because it was from Scandinavia that the very Vikings were from, which are still legendary.
But it is worth pointing out the national features that distinguish the Swedes. These people usually have fair skin. The appearance of the Swedes is also characterized by lighthair and blue or gray eyes, like most northerners.
Today it is difficult to talk about the purity of the nation. Even if the metric indicates "Swede", there is no guarantee that the genotype is fully consistent with what is written. Perhaps my mother was Swedish by passport, and my father was a native of the United States. And my mother took her nationality thanks to her dad, who was only 25% Swedish. Therefore, all thoughts about what the Swedes look like in the modern world are only conclusions drawn from subjective impressions.
Handsome… Maybe he's Swedish?
Most women consider representatives of the strong half of humanity, in whose passports the entry "Swede" is written, very attractive. Some even take the blame, stating that a third of all men could become world-famous by becoming models. Why are Swedes so attractive to ladies?
The appearance of a man of this nationality is quite average. Most of them are blond or fair-haired with greenish, blue or gray eyes. If we compare their average height with the parameters of representatives of other nationalities, then it will have a slightly larger value. And statistically, tall blondes rank higher in women's perception of male beauty.
But not only innate traits attract the Swedes. The appearance of a man directly depends on grooming, physical fitness. So, the Swedes pay special attention to her. Almost everyone goes in for sports, has a pumped up slender body. Of course, among them there are flabby and untidy people. But it's moreexception. That is why Swedish men are so attractive in the eyes of women.
Appearance, the description of which was given above, almost always corresponds to fashion trends. Most of them have a stylish hairstyle, wear branded clothes and shoes. Although one should not be surprised to see young people among the Swedes in ordinary clothes, but quite attractive. Neatness and neatness in appearance is an integral national trait.
Next, let's look at specific examples of how representatives of the northern nation look.
Swedish Prince Carl Philip
This internationally recognized handsome man does not have a typical appearance at all. The Swedes, as we have already mentioned, are usually represented as fair-haired handsome men. He is far from blond and not even blond. However, this did not prevent him from being included by Forbes magazine in 2008 in the list of the twenty most enviable young brides and grooms in whose veins royal blood flows.
Fine aristocratic facial features, a beautiful proud posture and a truly royal appearance - well, how can one doubt his belonging to the highest society?
Markus Hellner
Many Swedes have made careers in sports. So is Markus Hellner. In the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games he was the relay champion. In 2010, Markus also won the skiathlon title. And at the 2014 Olympics, he was awarded only a silver medal for this type.
It is clear that many women's hearts fell at the feet of the athlete. But you can'tto say that this handsome man has a typical appearance of the Swedes. He has curly brown hair with a reddish tint and hazel eyes. Perhaps it is the reddishness that is the highlight in his appearance, which so attracts the eyes to him. Or his athletic build, which is also important.
Henrik Lundqvist
The hockey goalkeeper has such charm that only thanks to this the Swedes should be proud of him. Appearance - the photo perfectly conveys his charm and attracts the eyes of ladies of different ages - this athlete can be called the standard of male beauty.
No wonder the goalkeeper "lit up" as an actor. His incredibly sexy commercial for Head & Shoulders shampoo is world famous.
Dolph (Hans) Lundgren
This representative of the strong half of humanity is rightfully proud of everyone in Sweden - both ladies and male Swedes. Appearance (photo published below) Lundgren is the most typical for this nationality. The tall blond is only five centimeters short of two meters. His build can only be envied. Since childhood, Dolph has been engaged in contact wrestling. The athlete achieved special achievements in karate and bodybuilding.
Beauty and intelligence, according to most, rarely belong to one person. This incredible case takes place when it comes to Lundgren. After completing his service in the Marine Corps with the rank of corporal, Dolph entered the Stockholm Royal Institute of Technology, which he successfully graduated withbachelor's degree.
A career in cinema was not long in coming. A world-class sex symbol is not only a famous actor, but also a producer, screenwriter and film director. He will turn 60 in November 2017. But this does not prevent him from remaining one of the most attractive men in the world to this day, excite the imagination of ladies and appear in erotic dreams.
Peter Stormare
The track record of the famous actor is quite long. After eleven years at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, he became a movie star, starting his career in this field in 1982 with a small role in Fanny and Alexander. Then the real glory awaited him. In 1996, Stormare played a criminal element in the Coen brothers' film Fargo.
An interesting fact of the film biography is his role as Russian cosmonaut Lev Andropov in the film "Armageddon". This once again indicates that the national features of the Swedes practically do not differ from those of Russians and other representatives of the Caucasian race.
Alexander Skarsgård
At first, Alexander's father, veteran cinematographer Stellan Skarsgård, earned fame. And not only in the acting field. His second remarkable feature is the subtle aristocratic beauty that he endowed with his offspring. Each of his sons is a real sex symbol due to his physique and two meters tall, blue eyes, beautiful blond hair, regular features and charm. Yes, here they are- real "thoroughbred" Swedes! The appearance of the photo can convey, but the inner beauty, fortitude, confidence and calmness?
Interesting is the fact that the first success came to Alexander with a tiny role of an idiot fashion model. It was the comedy "Model Male", where appearance and sex appeal, attractive appearance and a slender figure played a special role, that made the handsome Skarsgård popular.
Are all Swedes beautiful and slim?
If it seems to someone that exceptionally slender and lean people with regular features live in Sweden, then they should be referred to the famous work of Astrid Lindgren. One of the main characters of the tale is Carlson. And his appearance is not at all a demonstration of those true national features of the male appearance, which were mentioned above.
Carlson is not tall, quite well-fed, even pot-bellied. After reviewing the illustrations for the work, drawn by the Swedish artist Ilun Wikland, we can conclude that the face of a little man with a propeller was not distinguished by beauty in the sense in which contemporaries used to understand it. A fleshy large nose, a sagging chin, a large head of irregular shape - this is how the illustrator depicts the character.
Without belittling the merits of the majority of the male population of Sweden, we can nevertheless draw certain conclusions. Not all Swedish men have a natural beauty of the face and a slender figure. And men in the country are also judged not only by externaldata. After all, almost all the people of the world are impressed by the funny and funny Carlson, who was so masterfully described by Astrid Lindgren and painted by Ilun Wikland. Although handsome in the prime of his life, except for Carlson himself, no one considered him.
The famous Swede, who can hardly be called a beauty
The same tale destroys the belief in the postulate that all representatives of the weaker sex, born in Sweden, are charming and slender. Miss Hildur Bock inherited, perhaps, only one national feature of the Swedes. She is tall. But its heaviness negates the attractiveness of the figure. A double or even triple chin, small, deep-set eyes can hardly be attributed to the features that cause admiration in others.
In the story there is a mention of the appearance of sister Hildur Bock - Frieda. The apartment thief Fille, who tried to seduce the old maid, humorously pays her a compliment about the “nose”, which is good in any weather. So this character is not particularly attractive either.
Like all writers, Astrid has the right to fiction. But most often the descriptions themselves are given by the authors in accordance with what they see around them. That is, the writer would not invent ugly sisters and an absurd fat man, if it were impossible to meet people in some way similar to them in the country.
And yet…
Scandinavian beauty Elsa Hosk
Northern Caucasian girls have always attracted attention with their tenderness and charm. Swedes can be proud of many beauties. The appearance of the girl, the description of which matches the attachedphotograph, is typically Swedish: huge blue eyes, chiseled nose, blond hair. Of course, the blonde's eyebrows are slightly tinted, but only the hairs themselves. “A minimum of cosmetics! Elegance and natural charm!”, - this is how the Swedes formulate their attitude to the female appearance.
The appearance of the girl - the top model - is truly beautiful. And the reason is not only in the magnificent face. Her figure is perfect too! With a height of one hundred and seventy-five and a half centimeters, she has a chest circumference of seventy-nine, a waist of fifty-six, and a hips of eighty-nine.
Anne Margaret is an American star born in Sweden
This is another typical Swede, in whose appearance all the main national features can be traced. Ann Margaret was taken to the United States at the age of five, where she made her career as a singer, dancer and actress.
But despite the fact that she became a naturalized American, the Swedes can rightly be proud of her. The appearance of the girl, whose photo can be seen above, helped her play the role of Cinderella in The Tenth Kingdom in 2000, Della Monroe in Marilyn Monroe. Of course, in addition to beauty and attractiveness, her diligence, talent and self-confidence play a huge role. But if she had not been so charming and graceful by nature, she would hardly have been able to achieve such success.
Maud Adams
Twice playing the role of a James Bond girl in the movie, the beautiful blonde has earned herself real fame. Although the main role in herAchievements plays, of course, talent. But not the last place is occupied, according to the Swedes, appearance. Pictures from the films "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Octopussy", which took a lot of time between filming, prove that years do not always age - sometimes they turn a beautiful girl into a magnificent extravagant lady. The appearance of a Swedish woman, even in adulthood, is distinguished by well-groomed, refined taste in clothes and make-up, and a sporty figure.
Martha Thoren
Luxurious light-eyed brown-haired woman, a native of Stockholm, was also an actress. Despite the fact that her life was so short, she managed to leave her bright mark on the world. Thirty wonderful films in which you can enjoy the magnificent performance of the brilliant Swedish beauty - this is the legacy that Martha Thoren gave people.
Helena Mattson
Another charming actress whose appearance is hard not to admire. The blue-eyed blonde began her career in the modeling business. She then enrolled in drama school, for which she had to move to London.
Helena's career as an artist can hardly be called very successful. Some of her roles, if not a failure, did not win universal recognition. Critics were not always kind and generous to the work of the diva. But you can't say a single bad word about Mattson's beauty.
Greta Garbo
One ofthe greatest stars of cinematography of the first half of the twentieth century - Greta Lovisa Gustafsson (she became Garbo later) - most people remember from her wonderful films. In 1954, she was awarded an Oscar. Greta received this award for her outstanding contribution to the development of cinematic art.
The fate of the beauty was not the best. At the age of thirteen, the girl lost her father and was forced to earn extra money, first at a hairdresser's, then at a department store. But the proverb about beauty and happiness in relation to the charmer failed. Not being happy, Greta shone with beauty even in such a modest position. And she was noticed. At first she posed for advertising in front of the camera, then - in front of the movie camera. And then she was invited to shoot the film.
Swedish Princess Madeleine
This representative of the royal dynasty is famous not only for her pedigree. Many people consider her the standard of female beauty and attractiveness.
Madeleine Teresia Amelia Josephine really captivates with her regular features, soft skin, lovely blond hair that creates such an amazing contrast with expressive brown eyes.
Anita Ekberg
The stunning blonde, who played in Federico Fellini's sensational films in her time, her fans remember to this day. It was "Boccaccio-70" and "Sweet Life" that became important milestones in the creative life of the actress.
Although there were still dizzying ups in the fate of Anita. True, they were associated not so much with her creative career as with beauty. In 1951, she became the winner in her country's beauty contest. And so she had the honor to represent Sweden at the international Miss Universe 1951 pageant.
Camilla Sparv
This acclaimed beauty is world famous for her role in McKenna's Gold.
Perhaps the fact that this film in the Soviet box office took fourth place among foreign films at the box office is the merit of a fair-haired beauty with a magnificent figure.
Briefly about the main things
Of course, the beauty given to man by nature is a great gift. But the ability to use it correctly, to protect it, to make it serve for the benefit of humanity is an even more valuable gift that everyone cultivates within himself.
To be ugly in youth is bittersweet. But being ugly in adulthood is a shame. Because beauty is not always just the right features, tall stature and long legs. If a person does not take care of himself, does not go in for sports, does not follow a diet, abuses alcohol, nicotine or even drugs, by adulthood he can easily lose everything that nature has awarded him in his youth. And vice versa, with the right lifestyle, taste, and the ability to follow fashion trends without excessive fanaticism, you can correct or hide some appearance flaws.
Speaking of the Swedes, the expertshighlight this feature. Even quite mature people, for the most part, go in for sports, have no problems with being overweight, dress discreetly, but fashionably and tastefully.
