Top 10 Nationalities Men Go Wild For
Thanks to the website MissTravel, a place for those who like to date and travel, we now know which nationalities men go wild for. They asked a total of 44,873 American men who they most desired and the results are quite interesting.
It's the age old question - what do men really want? Is it personality or nationality that first pulls them in? Finding the perfect person to commit your life to is hard and gone are the days where we just rush in. Now with internet dating sites and specific searches on preference - we can date exactly our type.
The results were quite unusual. As explained Brandon Wade, Founder of WhatsYourPrice, "When you think about beauty, the picture of a blonde blue-eyed bombshell usually comes to mind. This study shows a major shift in America's definition of The Perfect Woman." So, which nationality do men really go wild for? Let's find out…
10 Lebanese
When George Clooney first met Amal Alam Uddin in 2013, he had no idea the Beirut-born beauty was going to have a power over him no other woman had before. In 2014, they were engaged and then married the same year. Finally someone made an honest man out of Hollywood's most eligible bachelor.
It's no wonder that Amal won over the A-list actor - she is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers in London, specializing in international law and human rights. Her profile also includes clients such as the founder of WikiLeakes Julian Assange and the former prime minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko.
She's the triple delight: smart, beautiful and good with people. Lebanese women are known for being stunningly beautiful but also for their elegance.
9 Bulgarian
When Bulgarian born beauty Nina Dobrev, whose real name is Nikolina Konstantinova Dobreva, first starred as Elena Gilbert on The CW's supernatural drama series The Vampire Diaries in 2009 - she made a very good name for Bulgaria.
Known for spoiling men with plenty of affection, the guy a Bulgarian girl needs is someone who also enjoys plenty of PDA. They must also enjoy her homemade traditional Tarator soup which is made of yogurt, water, minced cucumber, dill, garlic, and sunflower or olive oil. Keeping in good shape is also essential for any Bulgarian girl as they always carry an enviable figure. After all this is a country that has a beautiful maslodajna rose as their national emblem - image is everything to them.
8 Filipina
Former Pussycat Doll and X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger was born to Filipino parents in Hawaii. She knows how to drive men wild with her fiery hot personality, after all it was her sultry, burlesque routines with the girl group that gained her international stardom.
Scherzinger told NY Daily News that her pop career was quite the conflict to her conservative upbringing. She revealed, "I come from a strong religious background. So I was nervous, and confused. Here I was wanting to be Whitney Houston, so why did I have to dress in lingerie to do that? I didn't get it. I simply did as I was told." Well it has finally paid off as now she is one of the most recognizable artists in the world with men swooning at her feet.
7 Brazilian
Brazilian-born Victoria's Secret models Alessandra Ambrósio and Adriana Lima are well-known as the sexiest angels ever who flew the flag for models from Brazil. Their signature exotic look - dark, luscious long hair and dark eyes is what men just go wild for.
An online edition of Business Week also discovered that women from Brazil are super ambitious. The study found that at least 80% of college-educated Brazilian women aspire to top-level positions in the corporate sector, which compares with just 52% in the U.S. Alessandra herself has a net worth of $40 million since she has worked hard in the modelling industry from the age of 15-years-old and Adriana has staggering net worth of $65 million. However, the ultimate star from Brazil has to be Gisele Bundchen. She takes home the crown for beauty and brains as her personal fortune stands at $360 million.
6 Australian
Before there was Margot Robbie, there were other Australian beauties leading the way like Kylie Minogue and Holly Valance. Then when Margot starred opposite Leonardo Di Caprio in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street in a series of sultry scenes, she had men on their knees begging for an Australian woman of their own.
According to Hollywood insiders, Margot's on-screen chemistry with her leading men (she also sizzled with Will Smith in 2015's Focus) has landed her the nickname "the new Angelina Jolie". Remembering back, Jolie's sultry-persona soon made her the biggest threat to Hollywood marriages, until she eventually snared Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston, now 12 years ago. Well, lock up your men because Australian women are best known for being approachable and also the life of the party. At just 25-years-old, Margot has many a late night ahead of her yet.
5 English
Lingerie model Rosie Huntington-Whitely has not been single in a very long time. The English born Mad Max: Fury Road star first started dating fellow Brit actor, hard man Jason Statham, since 2010. Despite the fact Statham could have his pick of any girl in the world, it's his English rose who really has his heart.
Maybe it's that Brits have the best style - with homegrown designers Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith on their very doorstep. Or that they are known for their adorable, classy accents. Just one look at other British beauties such as Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Kate Beckinsale and Kate Moss is enough to understand why they drive men wild.
4 Colombian
If you ask a man to name his top five most desired women - there is little doubt that Sofia Vergara's name won't be high up on their list. In 2012, Ask Men asked guys this exact question and unsurprisingly the Colombian born actress came out on top.
The Modern Family star told the Irish Independent how she felt of the honour. She said, "Of course I love it. I'm 40-years-old. I always joke with my publicist and my manager that I'm competing for the best ass with Kim Kardashian and she is 15 years younger than me. She must be so upset thinking: 'Why am I being compared to that old woman?' I'm always in these sexiest lists and I'm 20 years older than the others. I love it." It's true when they say men love curves and Colombian women are known for having figures that are out of this world.
3 American
In at third place, American girls were picked to take one of the top spots. Katy Perry was voted as the hottest woman in the world 2013 by Men's Health magazine and her pulling power has not worn off just yet. Also included in the top five were fellow Americans - Christina Hendricks, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston. These ladies really are flying the flag when it comes to this country being home to some of the most beautiful women in the world.
One of the traits men loved so much about American women is that they were willing to be the pursuers. A study in Ask Men magazine claimed, "For whatever reason, women in other countries aren't used to playing the role of pursuer. But there's nothing sexier than a hot American woman who makes no bones about her interest, and rather than disguising her desire, she flaunts it. They've really turned the art of seduction in public into a science." Go get 'em girls!
2 Barbadian
Rihanna is proud of her Barbadian roots. She told Voice Online, "A lot of the reason why I am the way that I am has a lot to do with my culture. It really helped to have a thick skin coming from Barbados. I definitely had to learn fast how to ignore things or not let it bother me. In my home, a lot of the things I saw helped prepare me for this world."
The 28-year-old singer has worked hard since 2005 to become a household name. Her flirtatious dancing on stage and daring lyrics have helped turn her from a super sweet pop star into an empowered sex goddess. The sexy Barbadian accent also helps add to the tropical allure, that has almost every man in the world wishing they were sipping coconuts on a beach with the Diamonds singer.
1 Armenian
Other Armenian women can thank Kim Kardashian for putting their heritage on the world stage. Their nationality was voted the sexiest in the world through the poll. The MissTravel website stated, "It's no surprise that diverse, exotic nationalities like Armenian and Bajan topped the women's list, voted for by men, as superstars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna have commanded Instagram attention in the tune of millions of followers."
With naked selfies flying around, revealing outfits and of course that video tape - men just can't get the reality TV star off their mind. But how do other Armenians feel about Kim representing their country? Lucy Harutiunyan, a public relations officer at Armenian newspaper Noyan Tapan, in Yerevan, explained, "People who have conservative opinions, which tends to be elders, will judge her. But people who are forward thinking are all proud of her. Girls see her as a fashion icon, guys think she's really hot. We love her because she is Armenian and she represents the nation."
