    Only one disagreement: you included no Italian cities in the "attractive (girls)" category. How can you top bronzed beauties with long dark hair? You can keep those pale thin blondes of the "north of 50N" kind; I'll take my Italians any day!

    Brad -- all those "bronzed beauties with long dark hair" (which I like as much as anyone) were in France, not Italy. I was expecting the girls in Italy to be attractive -- and some definitely were -- but not as many as in France or the UK. And there were enough unattractive ones to lower the mean.
