Talk about smaller breasts in Italy. Stereotypes do not show a
reality.

It is an anthropological stereotype, not altogther a cultural
one --anthropologists classify the Mediterranean figure -- short legs, low
breast line-- as averse to the Nordic: long legs, high breasts. Happily,
they are all women.

Not true. The average heights of adult French and American women are
almost identical (about 5'4").

He was very tall.

Neither. Freud spent his life projecting the sexual and personal
-hygiene hangups of himself and his entourage onto the entire human
species, even though they were only applicable to a tiny microcosm of
European society.

The first two are correct stereotypes. They do not have any particular
smell that I'm aware of. I don't have any information on 4 and 5, but I
know that many French women take regular showers (especially those under
age 40 or so).

Tiny microcosm? Think again.

Re: Do French Women tend to be less endowed than other Women?
Alright perhaps I'm the one who knows almost all the exceptions to the
anthropological stereotype. Nordic women are taller, that's a fact.
That makes them have longer legs, that's a consequence of the first
one. About breasts, natural ones, you'll find a bit of everything
everywhere. My statement is not "anthropological" but maybe like said
I just know the exceptions.

Yeah isn't that one of the mysteries? The cuisine has a lot of
fat-heavy dishes but the women are slender?

I had a feeling this was true about French Women compared to
American Women but I didn't know that they were small compared to
other European Women in Europe as well.

I have heard it may be due to the way they eat but I think you
mentioned that it was more due to their genes before, so I guess that
wasn't really true for the most part. By the way, when you talk about
French Women being flat do you mean the French women in France or
French Women in general?

I think I remember you writing about this while back, if I'm not
mistaken. Sounds like your wife had the same problems my friend did.
And while it may be partly because of french women wanting to maintain
that look, it might also be partly because they are not as buxom as
other european and american women. Maby that is why a womans bottom is
more popular there than a womans bustline?

Victorias cut's off at a DD and not many of those.
Women with exceptional figures go to fredericks.com and lovefifi.com
love fifi was started by the senior designer ("amanda") from fredericks
who was downsized to help make budget when they filled a chapter 11.
