My Summer Vacation - Part VI - Swedish Women

It's been a long time coming, this posting, and I'm well aware that B&E readers are amongst the most patient readers in the world.

Since returning from Sweden, numerous people have asked, "How beautiful are the women?"

Well, that's a tricky question, and not just because I'm a married man who likes to keep his eyes from wandering. The fact is that New York is about as attractive as a city gets (the #7 train notwithstanding), and comparing to other cities just isn't fair. So yes, the Stockholmers are attractive, but it didn't seem particularly out of the ordinary.

What did seem out of the ordinary was the high rate of pregnancy. I don't know what was going on between seven and nine months ago (besides that long winter perhaps), but there were pregnant women everywhere. Everywhere. It was uncanny.

The rate of pregnancy for women was even higher than the rate of dreadlocks for men. That's high.
