In fact, I also rage over a lot of silly Americans believing we have polar bears. Or that we live in an exceptionally cold country. Inspired by all these "Ask him-or-her-or-it" topics recently, I now make this thread in which I'd love to answer anything you wonder about Sweden, that weird place that looks real inappropriate if viewed from a satellite.

Topic: what is an example of an indigenous animal that is native to Sweden?

One recurring thing I heard was that Swedish women are, generally, very attractive. Do you concur with this?

Transgendered transcultural transracial transspeciesist Posts: 2,586 Group: Members Member #77 Joined: July 17, 2007	I've heard this a lot from foreigners of any kind. I'm actually going to have to agree with this. Swedish women are in general very attractive. That does not say we have no unattractive women or that other countries have no women as attractive as Swedish women, but yes.

I've read that the average temps for summers here in the U.S. are creeping upwards. Topic: do you have access to American cable channels in your home country?
