Weird to think of what it must be like, with the intense policing of displays of sexuality that occurs there. Urban areas have to be different but how strange it must be. Then again, they've no booze culture which has got to be inhibiting. Or perhaps more accurately, not disinhibiting. They're not used to seeing the flowers of their womenhood pissing and vomming in the street.
Are British people particularly ugly?

So... plastic surgery capital and most women are veiled? Is it just men doing it or are they doing it just for their husbands or to compete with other women behind closed doors? Certainly I've seen a lot of people wearing full body coverings buying lots of designer clothes in things such as the Bicester Outlet village etc I guess to show off to friends?

Oh but there is a booze culture, it's just hush-hush, I guess a bit like taking drugs in this country. (Not that Iranians don't take drugs too - I'm sure I read somewhere that it has the world's highest rates of opiate addiction, even worse than the USA.)
But yes, you're hardly likely to see public drunkenness, I guess.

Modesty laws in Iran demand that women cover their hair, but not their face, in public. The chador (Iranian version of the burqa, which leaves only the eyes showing) is worn voluntarily by particularly devout women, I think. No idea what percentage of women wear each thing but I think at least in the cities you're going to see plenty of women walking around with their faces uncovered (the shameless slags!).
Edit: looks like I've got that wrong and the chador does leave the face uncovered. Anyway, most women there don't fully veil themselves.

Having been out with someone of Iranian descent, then this is possibly a good shout re beauty (her brother was sillily handsome too as I recall). I tend to think there are good-looking people from everywhere tho...
I'm sure I've met a few people in my life from various countries who have waxed poetic about the general handsomeness of British men, which initially I found perplexing, but there's a particular cultural stereotype going on under which it does make sense - debonair, well-spoken etc etc

Yeah, people from anywhere can be good-looking, but especially as you get past a certain age it really helps if you take some basic care of yourself, and while the UK isn't quite at American levels yet, we do have pretty high levels of obesity here. More than a lot of other European countries, at any rate.
And there are massive differences in how people typically present themselves, too. When I moved to the Netherlands for a while a few years ago, I initially found myself thinking "Why are there so many middle-aged lesbians here?", but then I realised that actually, a lot of women there just stopped bothering with makeup and jewellery and adopted comfy, androgynous clothes and sort of utilitarian haircuts after the age of 40 or 45. (Not that this is necessarily universally true in the country, but it seemed to the case in Eindhoven, anyway.) More recently I was on holiday in Madrid and saw women dolled up like opera singers while queuing in a supermarket.

Our lack of sunlight and clean air must hurt too. You see Canadians and Californians and they have this kimdmofmpulsating life force and wholesome healthy energy that you will never see in anyone from this country not even a professional athlete. This radiance of positivity and wellness. It's incredible

some people idealise the British pallid transparent look

for some people that is a sexual fantasy made sickly flesh.
Some Americans think they fancy all British people, but most of the ones who think that are deeply mistaken

It's not even so much about whether it's attractive it's more just the sense that this is a superior species. That they have reached a level of ultra-health. Completely comfortable in their own skin too. No sharp angles. Glowing.
I think people are naturally "uglier" than we think they are. If you were to get hold of a pair of Roddy Piper in They Live-esque glasses which saw through make up, cosmetic surgeries, dental surgeries etc then you'd probably realise a lot of the people you thought were incredibly good looking were made rather than born that way. Obviously there's a limit, but time and time again you see people get big, move to Hollywood and suddenly get better looking. Maybe they're making deals with The Devil, or maybe surgeries, stylists and money can work wonders.

Also, some people you may not have thought are 'all that' on the screen, can look devastatingly good in real life, making you realise how warped the screen standards of beauty are, everyone perfectly made up etc

Imagine how Ed Sheeran really looks.
Beauty is also so much to do with presence and personality. Recently my partner was showing me a pic of this amazing-looking woman from a US TV show that she watches - we both agreed she was stunning. I looked up an interview on youtube, and instantly she was about 1/10th as attractive, not a horrible personality but *such* a bland one
