I take it you are a pom? Correct? Me too. But until I open my mouth and speak no one knows that I am not an Aussie. Ok, yes I somewhat agree that we are attracted to our " own kind" but in this great big melting pot called awstrayliya, there is such a diverse mix of bewtifall people why not try a bag of mixed sweets? Er, sorry, lollies.

I am lost for words,...ok found some...If you don't find Australians attractive OP then they will probably not find you attractive.Hard to be attracted to one who is not attracted to you.Simple really. I am attracted to people who find me attractive,that in itself is an absolute bottom line.

Think it's got to do more with personal choice, everyone has their own idea of what they find attractive.

Aussies and English are the same ethnicity. I think you may be more Aussie than you think, Aussies have been getting themselves in trouble for speaking their mind (being direct and up front) since the first world war when the Brittish officers couldn't deal with them. We have traveled all over Europe and the US, it has been our experience that Europeans and Americans in particular warm to and are more accepting of Aussies when they find out we are Aussies and not English. Maybe it's a personality thing?

No! I am generally attracted to similar ethnic backgrounds, but not just aussies! I love English and irish guys, love black/African guys and South Africans too. All accents that make me weak at the knees! So no, as long as English is the persons primary language generally I don't care where they're from! - Posted from rhpmobile

Most of the British women I see out and about are pissed travellers with few .Just sayin. In addition to Mis Freyas logical and very sensible comment..... Id suggest that its likely the commonality of conversation you have with people of the same part of the world... that is skewing your results towards them.And its only natural.You're a Brit, she's a Brit... you talk Brit topics that could possibly bore someone from, say, Croatia.Secondly, I will argue against Brits having a forward nature in general.Had this very discussion with someone last night.Brits, particularly the English, are very stoic, very orderly and reserved.There is even the famous Monty Python sketch about it.Oh... and the saying "plain Jane" wasnt created about Australian women. I like ... what I like...... I am attracted to what I find attractive.... where they're from, is just interesting history and logistics.DG

Mental can be more related to culture that is influenced by environment you live in. Physical attraction can depend on physical features influenced by ethnic group.

I'm happy if a women finds me attractive,english or australian. You have a preconditioned thought that Australians aren't as attractive for you than British. Well i would think that most aussie women will pick up on that vibe & leave you alone, thereby fueling your thoughts about english women.

Quoting 'Freya13' I am lost for words,...ok found some...If you don't find Australians attractive OP then they will probably not find you attractive.Hard to be attracted to one who is not attracted to you.Simple really.

I am attracted to people who find me attractive,that in itself is an absolute bottom line. I find it very strange that you are only attracted to people of the same cultural background & that you feel like Australians reject you for being English or from the UK!?I'm a Perth girl, born & bred here & I tend to gravitate to people from the UK or from Europe or anywhere that is vaguely exotic or foreign to me! If I know nothing about your cultural heritage &/ or religion then I'm usually fascinated to hear all about it! I love to learn all about different places & cultures from new people I meet or speak to online?Maybe you are very straight forward or a bit blunt when expressing yourself? But I would've thought that most Aussies would prefer to know where they stand or what you are after?I can't actually see your Profile Pic as I'm only a Guest now....so it's obviously a pic of your old fella? I can't really decide if you're attractive or not unless I see a nice clear pic of your smiling face....

A difficult question, well asked...I think it depends."Attractive" is such a transient, multi-faceted thing. I can get whiplash turning watching a pretty girl walk down the road, but find in conversation that we share no values or interests, have no common ground. We could, perhaps, have amazing physical connection but would it work longer term, probably not. Cultural is a powerful force, but then it can be pushed aside if personal values resonate.Then there is 'what you're used to'... familiarity. If what makes you tick is being 'comfortable' (a dangerous, dangerous word) and in familiar territory, then I wouldn't be surprised that you find yourself returning to your people - familiar non-verbal communication, familiar ways of speaking, even familiar bone structures. Just like people keep returning to certain personality types.I wouldn't beat yourself up... accept that you favour a comfort zone. If you don't like feeling pegged in, get out and make yourself comfortable with others (I know you've lived here for a long time, but its easy to live in an enclave anywhere). It took me almost two years of working with and living alongside people of an African (sub-Saharan) background to understand they way they thought, how their humour works, to read the play. Once I did, I found a much greater appreciation and was able to find common ground.2cents...

I agree to an extent 82. Maybe we were meant to interbreed and wipe ourselves out eventually but that bloody Noah stuffed it all up building a vessel that would sail and hence the rest.........

Being a X sailor and travelled the world a little and travelled also after my service time I as a hetro single guy can say all races have beautiful women and like most things a women stands out from others for many reasosn from Eye candy to then Personailty Only thing why meeting people from other countries is i believe, shyness, confidence, and there way fo life and Beliefs as many countries have different lifestyles and what a man and or women should do... Once broke down some of these barriers and get to know a person, youll find that most are great beautiful people/women. Like anywhere..... I am sure well i would if was keen on someone from any race would do anything but show respect but also say hello.... No is no but why wonder.. World is Awesome

60% of your life you've lived here yet you still cling to being a Brit? Why is that? What I've found with most who cling something is that they do it because they believe it give them some form of "status" makes them feel superior to others and this might be confirmed by your stated tendancy to favor you (supposed) "own". It is not "us" that judge or reject you it is you who does us. You've been Australian longer than you were British, get down off the high horse, Australians have (with time) developed a serious predisposition to acrophobia, it stems from our origins of having to do not very nice things just to survive and then being punished and labeled "convicts" by some bunch of holy-er than thou people who were born into more privileged circumstances than we were and as such, thought themselves justified and authorized to treat us poorly Humility is attractive! - Posted from rhpmobile

Perth has a high ratio of English to Austrailans. Having lived in Sydney and Perth the cultural make up is very different. I would think you should do very well in Perth with english girls. but not so good with Aussie girls. There is an element of soccer hooligan types in the northern suburbs of perth which may scare a few Aussie girls. not everyone is like that so I am generalise like you were about saying ausies arent as pretty as English girls but hang around perth glory games and you will see it. In regards to; are we attracted to our own ethnic back ground; maybe for marriage because we go with what we know but sexual fantasies are very different. when a french girl swears at me in french I get a hardon
