I come from Roma too, so as you can imagine we are perfect instances of central Italian people! :grin:
This topic is really interesting because it's something I always asked myself. When I go abroad, being Italian is something that girls percieve as something really sexy. This happens also for women/girls that go abroad. Maybe it depends a bit on the reputation that Italians have all over the world! If someone is good looking in most of cases you have to add the stereotypes of Italian charm, of passion, ecc. And in some cases there are true things in this.
Not extending too much the issue, I think that the basical reason of attraction towards Italians is the diversity. As others have already said, Italians are one of the most mixed races in Europe and in the world, and this genetic outfit created an average beautiful people.
I think that diveristy gives attraction. Infact I had experiences with both Italian girls and foreigner girls and the strongest attraction was towards the foreigner girls (and vice versa, the girls that were more attracted from me were the foreigners). But the case of strongest mutual attraction maybe is beetween two sister nations: Italy and Spain. There would be a lot to say about that.
Anyhow I don't know my ethnical roots...But as you can see from my picture I have:
- Really light brown hair, almost blonde.
- Really dark eyes.
- Light skin that in summer becomes olive colour.
It is a perfect instance of mixed roots, isn't it?
