Women from the Czech Republic are famous all around the world for being some of the most beautiful in the world. Why is that the case, however? Or is it just some sort of cultural bias?
As the famous Czech joke goes: “Both Czech beer and Czech girls are the best in the world. What’s more, the more Czech beer you drink, the more beautiful Czech women become. Czech scientists are working day and night to figure out this phenomenon, but the only conclusion they’ve come up with so far is that they need more research.”
Joking aside, the beauty of Czech women is undeniable. As legendary as the beauty of Czech women is, however, many folks don’t have an exact image of “a Czech woman” pop in their mind the way they do about Ukrainian, Russian, Finnish, Latina, Japanese, Asian, Filipino, or many other women around the globe.
Below, we’ll try to answer why that is the case, what a typical Czech woman looks like, and what makes them so beautiful.
General distinguishing physical features of Czech women
No two Czech women look alike, which makes terms such as “typical Czech woman” kind of oxymoronic. Still, there are some general physical features you can expect to see in most Czech women, at least to some degree. Namely, the “typical” Czech woman has:
- A fair to a little tanned skin
- Astonishing average height, as Czech women are among the tallest in the world
- A pretty lean physique
- Various hair and eye colors
Why isn’t the general appearance of Czech women as well-known as that of other Slavic women?
Czech women are of Slavic descent – namely West Slavic, same as Poles, Slovaks, many East Germans, and other Central European countries. However, unlike East Slavic nations such as Russia and Ukraine, which have at least somewhat preserved their Slavic features, most West and South Slavic nations today are of an incredibly mixed ethnic descent.
They are still “Slavic,” of course. However, because of how tumultuous the history of Europe – and Central Europe in particular – has been over the past couple of millennia, West Slavic people such as the Czechs have lots of other ethnicities mixed with them – Germanic people, Roma, Hungarians, East and South Slavs, and many others.
All this means that, while you can usually imagine a Ukrainian or Russian woman as blonde and fair-skinned and be correct, with a Czech woman, it’s much more difficult to guess what exactly she’d look like. Even the current ethnic distribution in the Czech Republic is quite diverse, which further contributes to why no two Czech women look alike, yet most are so incredibly beautiful.
Why are Czech women so beautiful?
So, we’ve established that Czech women are both beautiful and diverse. So much so, in fact, that Czech mail order brides are among the most popular on online international dating sites such as Brides Universe – everyone wants to find a Czech wife!
Still, how did the case of Czech beauty get so paradoxical? Not only are Czech women very different from one another, but they are also incredibly beautiful – each in her own unique way. How is that the case if they are so different? Is the joke about Czech scientists and Czech beer somehow true?
Of course it isn’t, although there is indeed a scientific explanation, as we’ll show below.
1. The incredibly diverse ethnic background of Czech women
Unlike what a lot of people want to think, ethnic diversity is actually better than ethnic purity when it comes to the genetic health of a population, as well as its physical appearance. As studies have shown, ethnic diversity helps keep the genes of a population healthier through a genetic process called heterosis or hybrid vigor.
This is why most Slavic women are beloved all around the world, as are most Latina and South Asian women. It’s also why Czech women stand out even among most other Slavic nations – that’s the benefit of hybrid vigor.
2. A culture that pushes women toward physical excellence
Like many other beautiful women, Czech ladies know that they are beautiful and act accordingly. Or, more specifically, they have made physical beauty and excellence a huge part of their culture. Czech women will often put in extra effort to look good, to maintain their physique, and to stay healthy, especially compared to many other modern European nations.
Czech women have a moderately low obesity ranking for a well-off European nation too. What’s more, because of how tall Czechs are, this further helps their deserved image of being slim and lean.
3. Czech fashion is renowned around the world
In addition to doing their best to maintain good physical form, Czech women rely a lot on proper fashion too. As we know all too well, there are many things women can do to enhance their appearance, and Czech beauties seem to have mastered all of them. From always having the perfect clothes for any occasion to wielding the makeup accessories with a magician’s expertise, Czech women are always ready to look good.
4. Czech women are more down to earth than most others in the West
This one may indeed be because of the famous Czech beer, but Czech women are famous for being very down to earth, especially compared to many of their neighbors, such as the Poles, Hungarians, or Germans.
At first this doesn’t sound like something that’d make a woman more “beautiful,” yet it does. At the end of the day, physical beauty is as much a matter of attitude, presence of mind, and body language as it is about the actual physical attributes of a person.
So, with Czech women smiling more than most others, being more affable, jovial, and chatty than most others, and even being more physically lascivious than most others – all this genuinely makes them more beautiful in the eyes of men.
In conclusion
So, what does a typical Czech woman look like? Probably the simplest and truest answer would be that she looks beautiful and she is like no other woman in the world – including no other Czech woman.
