Catherine Zeta Jones

You can safely move on to discussing the fair half, or rather, English women.

There is an opinion that girls in England not particularly beautiful. This is a stereotype, as they say, to each his own, some like Russian looks, others like English ones. And there are many beauties among them. – the article is just to make sure of this. But they clearly share beauty among themselves, believing that the higher your social class, the more beautiful you are, accordingly. But the lower strata of society are not very complex about this.

They don't particularly like makeup, preferring a natural appearance.

Like any representative of the fair sex, Englishwomen love sales and look forward to them. English rationalism also plays a role here - why buy expensive branded items if they are much cheaper on sale? Compared to many other countries, girls do not go to beauty salons very often. Firstly, they are brought up this way, and secondly, English salons are an order of magnitude more expensive, for example, American ones.

Without focusing on their waistline, English women will not refuse a pastry or cake; they can often be found in fast food cafes.

When it comes to clothing, Englishwomen primarily prefer comfort and convenience. They rarely wear heels and a dress, only if they go to a party. festive evening, elite or to a restaurant. The rest of the time they can be seen in comfortable jeans or trousers, sweaters or shirts without a deep neckline, and shoes flat sole. A sort of combination of classics and comfort. You can read about women's ones separately.

By nature, English girls are quite confident in themselves, they are ambitious, and in some ways even self-sufficient. They are always ready to pay their bill on a date. When in society, they constantly smile welcomingly, because this is what they are taught from childhood. They are quite practical and thoughtful, especially in terms of everything related to the household. In general, English women make quite good housewives; they like to spend time at home and take care of their garden.

English women will never violently express their emotions, there will be no scandals with breaking dishes and leaving home - again, features. This is even good, because it’s easier to save relationships without arguing about every issue.

By the way, one bad trend is now being noticed - English women have begun to drink a little more alcohol than before. Perhaps in this way they are trying to establish themselves as feminists, it is increasingly possible to see girls in British pubs drinking on an equal basis with men.

Get married women in England usually they are in no hurry, they search for a long time and meticulously for the same one, by analogy with our prince on a white horse. On average, they start a family only at the age of about thirty. This is a little late for having children, but the expensive living conditions in England are such that before giving birth, you must first be completely confident in your chosen one.

English women- not particularly emotional, but sincerely loving, wearing jeans, but going out in full dress - they are contradictory and mysterious, it’s difficult to understand them, but it’s worth it.

Are women beautiful in England? About class division. And a little about English fashion.

I very often come across the expression that in England women are ugly. Precisely from those people who saw the Englishwoman in the photo, or briefly, as a tourist.

Especially after the selections “How to greet New Year in England", or "How they celebrate graduation in England". And away we go... “Wow, it’s not only here in Russia that people drink” , " And our ladies will be more beautiful ", they would have said be-be-be :). Comrades, do you care how they have it here? Many people are concerned about the European YU, French and English gays, the appearance of the local population.

The post will be long, there are a lot of letters, so I ask under the cut for those who are really interested.

Underclass (lower class) - There are such people here, and quite a few. In my opinion, absolutely not evil people, just lazy. Although there are also those involved in criminal activities, in this class there is a huge percentage of rednecks. This is a class that appeared after the war, due to the emergence social security. This includes individuals who left school immediately after compulsory education (that is, at age 15); not working or working here and there for cash; receiving subsidies from the state.

Among women of this class, it is popular to have at least three children in order to receive sufficient support from the state. People of this class are often obese, but they don’t worry about it at all; they wear a lot of exaggerated gold jewelry a la gypsies. Apart from their love of gold jewelry, women of this class usually do not take care of themselves in any way; as a rule, they do not wear makeup or do their hair. Complete naturel in one word.

In England there is a wonderful comedy series called Little Britain, where the main character, played by a man, is a caricature of this class.

By the way, about weight... In England (as elsewhere in the world), there is a connection between weight and social group. You can tell which area you are in by the playground. In the same way, you can immediately determine who is standing in front of you by looking at the cart in the supermarket. Middle class people have salads, bread, meat, fish, fruit, a bottle of French wine. The bottom one has frozen foods/prepared foods, almost a dozen bottles of milk of 4 pints, or even 6, toast bread for freezing, chips...

In expensive areas, my mother will be slim, in the rest I will be quite plump. I think the point is that the more educated and wealthy a person is, the more pleasures in his life that are not related to food. He has other opportunities to relax, de-stress, or have fun besides eating.

Next group- working class . These include those working in production, maintenance, construction workers, telephone operators, and taxi drivers. Traditionally in England, the working class were people who worked with their hands. But since very few of them have remained over the past fifty years, this class has practically merged with Lower Middle Class. Their education usually ends at age 18, although some go on to study for blue-collar jobs after school. This is an analogue of the Soviet vocational school.

Unlike the representatives Underclass Women love to decorate themselves in this layer. Tattooed eyebrows, hair extensions, inlaid nails, lifelong fake tan and, most sacred of all, a miniskirt. In any British city, in any weather and time of year, on Friday and Saturday evenings you can see the same picture: the girls went ahead. It may be frosty and snowy outside, but English girls walk around in a miniskirt, with a huge neckline, with bare feet, in high heels. These are exactly the girls who especially bother “our” people :)

From all of the above, one may get the wrong impression that representatives of the English working class are savages. In fact, this is not at all the case. Basically, everyone works honestly, pays taxes, takes care of their family, raises children, and is interested in football and maybe rugby. They don't necessarily go in for sports. They vacation in Egypt, Bulgaria or the Canary Islands 1-3 times a year. They just have a unique way of spending their leisure time.

For example, they have great reverence for “aristocratic” entertainment and love to go to Ascot. They also come there in groups and dress up in all the brightest, most conspicuous and shiny things.

Middle class - implies the presence of several mandatory characteristics. Namely: higher education and “professional” work. It includes doctors, teachers, lecturers, scientists, accountants, journalists, programmers and other employees. In America, to belong to the middle class, you need a certain income - above average. In England in one social class There are teachers with a salary of 20 thousand pounds a year, and doctors with a salary of 150 thousand. This class is defined by cultural rather than material achievements. Most valued here good manners. The famous English politeness is the prerogative of this social group.

The expression Middle class very often begins with the word aspiring. This is because members of this segment of society are constantly trying to improve their situation. They are eager to buy best house, best car, get better job, to get in better society, and, preferably, pass for Upper Middle. Representatives of the middle class try to achieve all this through education.

In England, only 7% of children attend private schools. Private education for even one child is beyond the reach of the vast majority of families across all classes. However, quite a few middle-class parents literally deny themselves everything in order to give their children an independent education. Because a good education is a pass for their children to the same middle class or, if you're lucky, higher. Belonging to the Middle class is not inherited and must be confirmed in each generation. Therefore, this is the class that is most concerned about the stability of its position.

An English middle class woman will never be overly adorned. Extended lips, extended hair and nails, orange tan, navel-length neckline or micro-mini are unacceptable here.

To imagine what an English woman from Middle class looks like, just watch the weather forecast on the BBC news.

I'm climbing higher on the social ladder -Upper Middle Class (upper middle class).

In many ways, this class is similar to just Middle class: it also requires higher education, professional career and good manners. But there is one significant difference: it has much more money. While in the middle class there may be people with lower salaries (for example, teachers), here the income cannot be less than a certain figure (about 300 thousand pounds per year). As a rule, members of the upper middle class receive not only higher education, but also Masters, and most often at prestigious universities, where about half of them are still, despite the fact that the class itself makes up no more than 5% of the entire population. Children from this layer almost always study in private schools.

Among them are many doctors with private practice and senior management large companies, financiers from the City, successful entrepreneurs.

Women in this layer are usually beautiful.

You won't see any excess weight in this class. Women almost always have their hair down. With short nails, no tattoos, no piercings, no tan.

Without noticeable logos on clothes, very stylish and discreet. Glitter, piercings, bright lipstick, tight dresses and protruding breasts are unpopular here. A style with sporting elements is preferred: equestrian, skiing, polo, tennis and hunting. Lots of shirts, skinny trousers and jeans, boots, large bags, scarves, biker jackets.

The last step is Upper class or in our opinion, aristocrats. First World War dealt a heavy blow to the English aristocracy. Firstly, a lot of men from this class died. Secondly, conditions changed and those who served the estates went to the front or to production. Those who remained demanded such payment that most large estates could not support them and could not exist without them.

Therefore, today in England there are very few estates, and almost all of them are open to visitors for the purpose of earning money and avoiding taxes. But the titles were preserved and the culture of the British aristocracy remained.

Outwardly, the women here are similar to Upper Middle Class women, but more careless and loving extravagant things. They may be wearing wild-colored trousers or a sweater torn at the elbows. The rest of the aesthetics in this class differ little from the Upper Middle Class; there are no lips like a carp, no fake tan, no glitter. Upper Class is the only class where foreigners (or representatives of other groups) cannot enter. You can't marry into this class, you have to be born into it...

English society has a strict class hierarchy, reflecting the centuries-old traditions of the islanders. The British sense of belonging to their class seems to be innate. Even for me, not a local, it’s quite easy to determine social status interlocutor within a few minutes, or even appearance and some inherent details. The innate sense of class is so strong that the British sometimes don't even think about taking a step up.

All this has a very rational basis. A society where everyone knows their place works much more efficiently: no one teaches anyone how to live. Workers work, entrepreneurs work, higher classes study and manage. Moreover, everyone is proud of the role they perform (this is how society educates them) - then the country will have plenty of ordinary soldiers, engineers, scientists and businessmen. So, in Victorian era, when classes were literally told what to say and what to do, Britain reached its peak.

There are many indicators: from appearance, car make, place of residence (district) to accent and many indicator words. It is important that in England money/income is not an automatic indicator of belonging to a particular class. For example, a hereditary peer may be very poor, but at the same time he will have excellent English and manners. Working class - simply working people who earn their living by physical labor. The income and standard of living of builders, skilled workers and representatives of many other professions may not be inferior to the Middle middle class. And plumbers are generally equated to the upper middle class (a joke with some truth:).

After all the material presented, I would like to say... People, never draw conclusions about the beauty of this or that nation, about their way of life, especially if you have not been there, or have been there for a short time. This applies to everything - stereotypes about “stupid” Americans, “ugly” English, German and French women. Nasty English cuisine can also be included in this list :)

Under the gun: English women through the eyes of men

You are probably familiar with stereotypes and rumors about the residents of Foggy Albion: they say that they are unkempt, arrogant, love to drink and are insatiable in sex. However, not all of the above is true. The ZagraNitsa portal found out what English women are really like, how men from the CIS countries treat them, and the easiest way to meet a British woman.

At home. It is difficult to call an Englishwoman a good housewife. Of course, you say, there is no point in putting everyone under the same brush, because there are exemplary housewives in England. We don’t argue, but in most cases a British woman would prefer to eat in a restaurant for dinner rather than stand at the stove. And anyway, it’s not easy to get her into the kitchen! The reason for this is the desire of Englishwomen to make successful career and realize herself in her profession: here it’s rare for a woman to start a family before she’s thirty. And what kind of washing-cleaning-cooking is there when the plans are so ambitious?!

In self-care. The fact that English women are not very attractive is no longer even discussed. What can you do if nature has not endowed them with such beauty as the Slavs? But when describing British women, unkemptness is often added to pointed facial features, an icy gaze and an unnatural smile. Again, this is in comparison with girls from the CIS. Indeed, an English woman will prefer, sometimes not the sexiest from a male point of view: ballet flats (at any time of the year), Ugg boots and leggings, and uses minimal makeup. But even if she wears sneakers with a business suit and throws a backpack over her shoulder, it does not mean that she does not take care of herself. But British women have significantly larger breasts than Slavic girls: for last years The most purchased bra size has increased from 34B to 36D.

Daniil Arkhipov:

I came to the UK 6 years ago. At that moment it seemed to me that English women were really not attractive at all. The style of clothing and manners did not correspond at all to what I was used to at home. Now I look at it more simply and often notice practical people in them. On the contrary, when I come to Russia or Ukraine and see these knee-high boots in combination with a miniskirt, I cringe - it reminds me of the Red Light District in Amsterdam. English women are very practical: they will never wear heels if they are just going for a walk in the park, which certainly cannot be said about our girls. Of course, they are not so economical, they are careerists - unlike ours, they have more opportunities to get a good education, and they rarely think about things like cleaning.

In communication. Don’t mistake traditional English politeness for a girl’s interest in you: being friendly and smiling is in the English’s blood. But if you take a closer look, British women are quite cold and unapproachable. They gossip much less than Slavic women, and do not stoop to publicly discussing other people.

Dmitriy:

British women have a hard time communicating. As a rule, they are very arrogant - there are, say, girls “the life of the party,” but very rarely.

On vacation. But residents of the United Kingdom vacation a lot and often. We have already written about what the British like to drink, but their faithful do not stand aside. Girls do not neglect a pint of ale in a pub and stronger drinks in nightclubs. British women have even been called the most drinking women in the world more than once.

In sex. Even despite a certain arrogance, liberated British women - complete opposite reserved British men. If an Englishman is embarrassed to cast a hot glance at the girl he likes and would rather compliment her dress than her beautiful ass, then British women are not particularly modest. They do not neglect short-term dating, but cheat on their partners more often than men. So, a few years ago, the whole world was shocked by the story of a 25-year-old British woman who boasted that she had 5 thousand sexual partners!

Dima Moskalu:

For British women, having sex with a man is a common thing. Many people quietly “walk” until they are 30, and then, when their career is more or less built, they begin to look for permanent partner and build a family with him. But it is undeniable that young British women behave promiscuously and provocatively in pubs.

Daniil Arkhipov:

English women are very relaxed and have no complexes. They have no problem putting on a short skirt without tights, even on a cellulite butt. They are not at all bothered by the fact of casual relationships for a couple of days. Like any woman, they are instinctively attracted to healthy, handsome men who are able to satisfy it, regardless of nationality and cultural interests.

If you decide to meet an English woman in a bar or club, just throw a couple of pleasant words and she will be won over. The main thing is not to seem stingy and boring - statistics say that such traits in a man are the first to repel a British woman. And one more thing: do not call the waiter by snapping your fingers - more than 60% of British women will not forgive you for this on the first date.

Alexander Solodovnik:

If you know how to pick up girls, then it doesn’t matter what nationality they are. But, undoubtedly, British women are crazier in bed than our girls. They are cheeky minxes.

Which British women do you know? Share your impressions about the residents of the United Kingdom in the comments.

Trying to define an Englishwoman is like explaining why, on that narrow street in the town of Schofield in eastern England, two houses eventually meet to form a dead end. At the same time, at the point of maximum approach, two huge windows look at each other. English women can also baffle you with their unpredictability, but they still have a certain number of quite stable traits. They, just like everyone else, want to be loved and love and also value punctuality.

So, let's find out what it's like to be English. It is curious that all the features that will be discussed are in one way or another connected with the sacred concept of “self-care” for any Englishwoman. This is a multi-level construction of self-esteem, charm, the ability to be oneself, the willingness to devote time to oneself, the ability to hear own desires, as well as the talent to radiate charm, cheerfulness and love for life.

The emotions are almost there

English women can seem a little arrogant and rude. And all because they are used to restraining their emotions. It’s even simpler this way – there’s no point in dumping your troubles on your neighbor.

Twice

In England they kiss a lot and often. On both cheeks - even at the first meeting, not to mention subsequent meetings. Kissing everyone invited to a Friday house party is no easy task. For example, aviator Howard Hughes, who was terrified of touching people, would not have been able to do this. It must be said that kissing is not to the taste of many English children, but they learn to overcome themselves from an early age. Englishwomen are not so scrupulous. However, this does not at all indicate their complaisance in other matters - do not expect that an innocent double kiss will necessarily develop into something more.

Maternal instinct

Englishwomen give to family a large number of time. Firstly, they willingly give birth to children, of which there may be two, and more often even three. This is due both to the natural desire to have children and to the fact that the state provides good support to mothers. There is also a moral aspect, which many representatives of this country are not aware of. The Christian faith prohibits abortion and encourages large families. Even non-believing women have heard about this at least half an ear and often do not dare to swim against the tide.

Holy!

The main principle of local education: the child should do what he wants - until it causes extreme trouble to other people. This way, according to Englishwomen, children learn to be independent and liberated. The consequences of such an approach to education can be varied: from the most positive to the completely disastrous. However, children's freedom remains virtually untouchable by law.

Parents day

Besides, English mothers They try to coordinate their schedule in accordance with weekends and school holidays. They frantically take the children to various sections and groups, to a photo studio, and after lunch they can arrange something special with the whole family - well, at least have a grilled sea bream dinner on the back patio of their prim British home.

You are protected

Interestingly, in England it is customary for all adult family members to work, so the authorities finance pre-school institutions. It is worth noting that in England the social security system is one of the best in the world. Let's say maternity leave for them it begins six weeks before the birth of the child and continues for the next four months after his birth, and the annual paid leave includes about five weeks. Englishwomen try to send their children to nurseries and kindergartens as early as possible in order to get to work as quickly as possible. It is not customary in England to push children around their grandparents; grandchildren communicate with them only on weekends, holidays and vacations.

We shared an orange...

English men are happy to help their partners around the house. They also participate in raising children. In general, the relationship between children and parents is considered much more important than the relationship within the couple. Therefore, in the event of a family breakup and the creation of a new one, children and parents actively communicate with each other, even taking joint photos.

Divorce is not a death sentence

In the minds of an English woman, it is quite normal and even necessary to maintain friendship after a divorce. Moreover, it does not matter at what age it occurred - mourning wasted years is considered at least bad form. 50-year-old Catherine happily married for the third time and moved to Nice. She claims that she has now finally begun to live. And the English-Portuguese Carla, with three children and a whole bunch of financial problems, without much difficulty found herself a temperamental young biker, who, after several months of loud visits to her home, decided to stay there forever.

Love all ages...

English women are not afraid of their age and do not hide it. Moreover, they sincerely enjoy every stage of life.
70-year-old Mary loves to receive guests, plays the lottery with a neighbor and flatly refuses the care and help of children. However, when the latter follow her words too literally, they get it in full: Mary can scandalize in the best traditions of English comedies - loudly and beautifully. In short, she is full of life and has absolutely no intention of complaining about illnesses, much less discussing someone’s personal affairs while sitting on a bench. By the way, this woman lost her husband in her youth and was forced to raise four children alone. So her cheerfulness is not at all connected with sweet life and extreme luck.

Live by pact

Surrendering under the yoke of changes in the institution of the family, the English government passed a law establishing new form marriage. Previously, couples living “without marriage” did not have official status. And this caused problems in the courts so often that, in the end, they were actually legalized. Now to divide children and property after “dissolution” civil marriage it became a little easier.

Love with or without rules

The Criminal Code of England looks like a romance novel in places. For example, jealousy during the commission of a crime, even murder, becomes a mitigating circumstance. But raising a hand against a friend is a dangerous thing. You could easily end up in jail.

Night at the Museum

The British have a wonderful custom that has become popular all over the world - Night at the Museum. This tradition has nothing in common with the white nights in St. Petersburg, except for the name. It’s just that on certain days the doors of museums are open until late at night for all art lovers, and entry to cultural temples is free.

Selfish question

Many English women believe that their skin should look good even without foundation, so they spend a lot of money on really expensive personal care products and visits to a cosmetologist. But at the same time, they cannot deny themselves the pleasure of smoking a cigarette or two in the company of friends long after midnight. However, there are other Englishwomen who take a more responsible approach to their appearance. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find a girl who abuses makeup among representatives of this country.

Lady fingers

Englishwomen have a foot fetish. What other conclusion can be drawn from the fact that they prefer pedicure to manicure?! Once psychoanalysts get their hands on it, they will probably find other explanations for this. However, for now the fact remains: in England you are much more likely to come across a pedicure salon than the nail salon that is familiar in Europe and America, which will provide those who wish with well-groomed nails, both on the hands and feet.

Career Barriers

Only a few girls can make a truly successful and outstanding career in England. And this is not always explained by the peculiarities of the national character. Englishwomen are very active, but given the rapidly growing unemployment rate, they are increasingly counting on temporary contracts - they are much easier to find than long-term ones. Therefore, being mostly ironic optimists, Englishwomen are not too worried about their career failures.

Image is everything for the British

Arriving in England in winter, you will be horrified by the number of people dressed too lightly on the streets and will immediately want to help the unfortunate people walking through the freshly fallen snow in ballet shoes on their bare feet. The only thing that “saved” them was a huge thick knot wrapped in rings around their necks - apparently maximum amount scarves, according to Englishwomen, directly corresponds to the level of heat received by the body. Despite the fact that such a love for this accessory often makes girls, and not only them, look like Gagarin in half a spacesuit, they look original and stylish.

Not like everyone else

Being a fashion victim in England, paradoxically, is not fashionable. It's much nicer and more charming to stick to own style. Forming it is the direct responsibility of the girl; if you like, it is also a vital necessity, because it is the style that should emphasize individuality and make an Englishwoman different from everyone else.

No smoking

According to statistics, about 40% of people in England smoke or smoke occasionally. But you can’t smoke anywhere - including bars and nightclubs (fine). That is why, even in winter, English smokers will prefer to sit not inside the restaurant, but on the summer terrace, heated by UFO. Judging by the fact that there are no ashtrays on the tables, smoking is also officially prohibited there. However, catering staff “do not notice anything” and turn a blind eye even to floors thickly strewn with cigarette butts.

But the English (a good half, if not more, of whom are women) puff on the street without any hindrance. Be careful: people with cigarettes maneuvering along narrow English sidewalks are trying to burn your favorite dress. It's no wonder that smoking on the go is jokingly called the national sport here. The seemingly scrupulous English, again, do not burden themselves with the disposal of bull calves - they throw them right at their feet. A smoking ban was even introduced on one of the beaches in England. According to its mayor, this decision was dictated by the fact that the beach had turned into one continuous ashtray, and it was no longer possible to clear the shore of cigarette butts.

Welcome!

One of the days off is usually devoted to receiving guests, and the latter can take on a wide variety of forms - from a formal dinner in a narrow circle of friends to a riotous home party. Note to the hostess: in England there is a tradition of bringing your own wine to a party, after asking the hosts about the dinner menu so as not to miss the choice. And also the English, who love to invite people to their house ( pure truth, by the way), they always count on a return visit. Moreover, if the hostess of today's party does not visit you next Friday or so, this will be considered a slap in the face to the generally accepted way of life. So be careful: visit and invite your English friends!

Good manners

The British are very sensitive to... doors. It doesn’t matter where you are: in a cafe, office or hotel, it is customary to close the door behind you. Once in an English house, you are unlikely to see an open gate or an open door to the bedroom or bathroom.
