>> the brits all look the same Not from here :) >> the Chinese all looked alike >> to the Brits I have recently attended my daughter's M.Sc. graduation meeting - imagine her Economics and Finance University located here in St.Petersburg, Russia has strong relations with China's high schools and colleges, and there were there about 30% Chinese M.Sc. graduates who got their M.Sc. courses here in St.Petersburg - I didn't find they are all looking alike - and seeing Chinese people here on the streets is still not common. And a lot of people from the South of ex-USSR (Middle Asia) are now here - yes, they look a bit alike from distance as they usually have darker skin and are not so tall as "average Russians" but on short distance one can clearly see they all are different... I suppose independent on own race and culture men can clearly see the differences in others when those men are interested in the "subject" other nation/race they contact with... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 10:10 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Friday OT: 10 ways to indicate you are a geek Well, I can remember when I was a young lad and Chinese Take-away's started to become widespread across the uk. Everybody had problems because the Chinese all looked alike to the Brits. Nowdays, many years later, we have got so used to seeing them and other nationalities that that problem has gone, but I have heard of a place where the said "the brits all look the same"..

Well, as you also noted and I agreed "one man's meat is another man's poison" :) - I mean there should exist individual for every human being races' and cultures' independent face and body proportions/"templates", which attract one man and detract the other one and vice versa... And of course those "face and body proportions/templates" change(/get extended/enriched) with men getting through their lives obtaining new experiences, understanding differences in some foundations of other cultures and races compared with the ones they get on birth... <<< But, that said, we could all, probably, find consensus in saying "She is pretty" or "he is handsome". >>> Yes, if we use the same "templates" or we're ready to constructively adjust/extend the set of each other "templates"... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 7:40 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Friday OT: 10 ways to indicate you are a geek >>look beautiful and the other ones ugly Well, that very much depend on "the eye of the beholder". One man's meat is another man's poison. What some person might find attractive, others may not. But, that said, we could all, probably, find consensus in saying "She is pretty" or "he is handsome". We all have a built in "idea" of what constitutes Good Looks. I am sure Ratios play a part in that. Can this "feeling" be measured/quantified? Probably not, but that is not to say that there is not some academic somewhere in the World obtaining a grant from Max Factor or similar to try to find out. It probably has a lot to do with early development of course, whereby thee baby is used to seeing facial features of those around him/her and find difficulty later in life when they encounter people of different races and cultures - particularly those with dissimilar facial features. But once we have been around these different people for a long time, we start to subtly notice and differentiate between the facial features. Do all kittens look the same. Yes, unless they are yours and then you know the difference.
