The representation of the physical build of German women in the global male imagination defines them as tall and thin, preferably blonde with green or blue eyes. This stereotype has been popularized through German models, actresses and celebrities who fit this mold and has been used to represent German women as "Aryans" or "pure Germans", associating them with an idealized Nordic beauty.
Throughout the 20th century, an idea has developed that represents German women as strong, independent and capable. This is partly due to the role that German women played in the emancipation movements, but mostly as a political tool of the German governments.
German women imagine themselves as efficient and methodical women: This stereotype is based on Germany's reputation as an organized and efficient country. German women are associated with qualities such as punctuality, discipline and industriousness.
But they are also thought of as cold and distant: This stereotype contrasts with the image of Latin or Mediterranean women, who are usually seen as warmer and more extroverted. German women are associated with a certain emotional reserve and less expressiveness.
The reality is far from everything that Latin men believe about German women and as we continue walking through the streets we are going to see what that difference between what is believed and what really is is about.
German women have an average height of around 1 meter 65 centimeters, which means that while some may be over one meter 70, the same number can be shorter than meter 60, something we can see walking down the streets. . Not all German women are tall and thin.
The average weight of German women varies by region and age, but is generally within the normal range for the female gender. The idea of huge, corpulent and strong German women, although there are cases, does not represent the average or the totality.
On the other hand, German women have a variety of hair colors, including blonde, brown, black and red, with darker shades towards the south. It must be taken into account that the images we are seeing were captured in Hamburg and Bremen, in northern Germany. Similarly, German women's eye colors vary, including blue and green, but also brown and hazel. Not all German women have light eyes.
As for facial features: German women have a wide range of types, reflecting the country's diversity. Although there are some characteristic forms as in any ethnic group, there is no majority prototype.
As for regional differences, women from northern Germany tend to be taller than the national average. In particular, West Pomeranians tend to be the tallest women, with an average height of around 1 meter 68 centimeters.
Women in southern Germany tend to be shorter than the national average. In particular, the Bavarian region has the shortest women, with an average height of around 1 meter 63 centimeters. The average height of women in eastern Germany is close to the national average, i.e. around 1 meter 65 centimeters.
Regarding Hair Color, women from northern Germany have a higher prevalence of blonde hair, especially platinum blonde and ash blonde. This is due to the region's Nordic and Germanic heritage.
Women from southern Germany have a higher prevalence of brown and black hair. There is also a greater presence of red hair in this region, especially in the Black Forest. Women's hair color in eastern Germany is more varied, with a mix of blonde, brown and black. This reflects the region's migration history.
If you thought that height was an impediment or a complication when it came to imagining yourself with a woman from Germany, now you know that reality is far from the stereotype. Traveling is a good way to learn about the reality of the world we live in. Traveling is hyperliving.
