I think North American women think they will look like drowned rats if they get wet. Heaven forbid their makeup runs or their hair gets messed up. They may not look like supermodels anymore. It would be a serious self esteem hit. Young people these days grew up watching MTV. They think looking trendy and perfect all the time is everything (actually, for them, in their peer group, maybe it IS everything). Totally hung up on appearance. I've never seen guys spend so much time doing their hair.
(Old fart rant starts here). Some of us remember when a band only had to sound good. We bought stereos to hear music. Now kids buy TVs to watch music on MTV. Stereos are dead. You think somebody as ugly as Mick Jagger could get famous now? Nope, gotta have the look. When was the last time you saw a famous female singer that was 10 pounds overweight? Yeah, right. They can sound like sh*t, but they have to look perfect. Teen heroes aren't musicians that sing cool, rebellious songs, they are people who look cool and rebellious on MTV.
What we have to do is get more examples of teen idles looking hot on TV by getting wet. More Shakira publicity! If we can spread the idea that wet & messed up = hot, not wet and messed up is blowing your image, then we have a chance of seeing girls get wet. Let's all write in to MTV!
My assumption is that European woman aren't as convinced that perfect hair and makeup are required to get a man's attention. It could also be that the average American woman has a few more pounds that will show if their clothes get clingy.
I suspect that guys that can get girls wet often have learned to plant the idea that wet = hot, and wet girls get attention. A lot of girls will take it from there, they want to be hot, and they want attention.
Master Leon, can you confirm? |

By Europe and North America - Sat 09/08/03 07:10:02 GMT You hear all the news abou the heatwave in Europe. Here in Western Canada, we have had about the same temperatures ( 80+ degrees for weeks)
Here- no wetlook . It can be close to 40c and girls would rather risk heat exhaustion than to go cool off with regular clothes! The same old same old BS " oh i didn't bring my bathing suit " bla bla bla bla bla... Absolutely pathetic i might add!
People here need to be more open minded. Makes me want to hop on a plane to London ASAP! Wetlook in Europe is so abundant.
Why do you think there is such a contrast between good' ol Europe and us uptight people here?
