What Makes Australian Women So Appealing to Men?

Not all Southern Belles wear hoop skirts and fry green tomatoes.

“A woman of style is a thinking woman”

— Australian Actress, Claudia Karvan

I’m not entirely sure what the rest of the world thinks about Australian women, if at all. For some, she may be a glitch on a radar in a distant land. An abnormality or an exception, depending on who’s doing the analysis and how much they consider Australia to be an actual “real” part of the world.

What?

It can be easy to dismiss a country located so far away that it takes much self-rallying just to board a plane to get there. We’re talking copious amounts of ocean between us and the rest of the world here. It’s a brutal journey, for sure. But just like anything else worth discovering in life, the great reward does not come without the committed effort. And let me assure you, the land of wealth and toil is also rich in Pay-off-a-Palooza.

Such are the feminine treasures that dwell Down Under.

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

— Henry Miller

Actually, that’s an Australian woman’s virtue, you realize. The fact that she was born and raised beneath a jeweled southern sky in a land skirted by three magnificent oceans gives her a unique edge spawned from the geographical differences that impact her outlook on life.

Australian culture isn’t just about miles of immaculate beaches, pristine nature and spectacular sunsets. This is a country rooted in Aboriginal Dreamtime and the spirit of the land, with our people deeply influenced by British and Irish descent, following the colonization of the Early Settlers.

Nowadays, the multicultural nature of Australian society has caused a shift in how we define ourselves as a diverse and integrated nation. Alas, the laid-back Aussie way of life is nothing if not capable of adapting to a new way of seeing things, just like Miller said above.

“She’ll be right, mate.”

Right?

Beautiful Australian Women

Mr. Van Ryan was the name of my geography teacher, 7th through to the 9th grades. His lean physique, masculine features and blond crown stood out in my all-girls high school. In other words, he was damn hot. Just about every student crushed on the man but his bronzed surfy appearance isn’t why he is a part of this particular story.

The “beautiful” Aussie geography teacher had spent a lot of time abroad to quench the adventurer in him, traveling to some of the world’s most exotic countries. Places like, Puerto Rico and Brazil, Maui and India, to name a few. He was well-traveled and as such, his worldliness shone through his teachings.

He once told my class that he considered Australian women to be the most beautiful women on earth.

Was he biased? Maybe.

We all know that there are legions of beautiful women inhabiting every corner of the globe and that it is impossible to declare one nation lovelier over another. Moreover, the notion of beauty is subjective to the eye of the beholder. What gets one man’s pulse racing may leave another completely flatlined.

It all comes down to the individual.

Personally, I like to think that Mr. Van Ryan’s preferred taste for Australian women propagated from their earthy, untamed spirit and off-color sense of humor. After all, people are a holistic package and outer-beauty doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what makes someone appealing.

It is the quality of a person’s heart and soul that creates someone worth knowing.

Having said all that, I recently sat down with a group of men — some were Aussies, others (like my Dutch husband), were from other parts of the world— and asked them what makes Australian women so appealing.

Here are a few distinctive qualities that make Australian women so appealing to men.

Aside from having a “cute” accent, Aussie women are…

Remarkably Unpretentious

“Humility and authenticity are strong values in Australian culture. As such, Australians are very down to earth and always mindful of not giving the impression that they think they are better than anyone else.”

Commisceo Global

Australian women generally care less about attempting to affect others with a greater importance than what they actually possess, and more about connecting from a ‘real’ space. Actually, they are more inclined to downplay their merits rather than make an outward flashy display of self-importance.

In a nutshell, Aussie girls are pleasantly simple, practical and modest, and these qualities contribute to making her appealing to men.

And so do these two characteristics:

Low Maintenance & Less Materialistic

Just to be clear, this doesn’t mean that Australian ladies are boundary-less push-overs with no opinion. Or that they are patient dimwits who accept unjust treatment.

Low maintenance and less materialistic is not the same as low standards.

On the contrary, Australian women do possess high standards. Just not on the outer, “face” value kind of stuff that many other cultures appear to thrive on. In fact, this Down Under feminine may very well have learned to be cautious of people who try to impress by advertising their achievements, wealth, status or qualifications.

Further, it is widely believed that a large percentage of women around the world are gold diggers but this is not the case for Australian women.

This is a female who was raised in a down-to-earth culture where the quality of a person is judged for who they are on the inside rather than what’s reflected on the outer. Like acquired wealth and “big-shot” status.

An Australian woman is much more likely to select her close relationships on quality over quantity, and that makes her an appealing person to be around.

And, for the most part, they are certainly….

No Drama Queens

“Loyalty, kindness and compassion are very important in friendship and business partnerships. I like to think I have those qualities, too.”

— Australian Model, Jennifer Hawkins

Australian ladies are polite, friendly creatures who can get along with anyone. They will talk to you like an old friend, listen to your stories and laugh at your jokes.

They go with the flow.

When it comes to their relationships, these women are less demanding than many of their international counterparts — less histrionic, loud and dramatic, and certainly not control oriented or emotional terrorists.

Like, nagging.

Sound appealing? Here’s a little more about it:

Quality experiences are the name of the game for any Aussie. I mean, this is also a culture deeply ingrained in the simplicity of connecting over a beer and chatting about sun-soaked shenanigans.

And gorgeous Aussie ladies are no exception. They don’t place a whole lot of value on gifts, flowers, cards and cheesy conversations. Oh, they like to feel special and appreciated as much as the next woman, but they do not require a lot of attention and effort to get there. And they definitely won’t make a man play the “what am I thinking” game.

One of the more appealing qualities of Australian women is that they have no patience for unnecessary drama and needless mind games.

Let’s think about….

Adventure Seekers

“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”

— Rumi

Australian women are incredibly fun and always up for the next adventure. After all, Australia is ranked the second most adventurous country in the world. Its distinctive landscape offers breath-taking places and iconic landmarks which these women simply cannot resist.

I mean, where else in the world can you baste beneath the Southern Lights (or Aurora Australis) while exploring our most southern parts of the country?

Yes, we have Aurora here, too.

Which by the way, I hear is just as, if not more impressive as the Northern Lights.

Speaking of which, much like her Northern sisters, many Aussie ladies are career and family oriented. They work hard at their passions, and strive to find that family/work life balance. Though, perhaps they may differ in that Australian women also recognise the substance in enriching their life experiences through travel and new adventure, and a lot of us seek to make that element an important part of our lives — whether that be local or international exploration.

The trailblazing wanderer in Australian women may very well be a throwback from her early origins. That intriguing “walkabout” mentality born from her indigenous background culture, or even her ancestral European epic-voyagers. Definitely her real connection to the vast Australian earth and it’s remote place in the world.

Wherever its roots lie, her open and adventurous spirit is a part of what makes Australian women so appealing to men.

***

Australian women are unpretentious, friendly, low maintenance, no drama adventurers who place a high value on relationships, love, connection and loyalty. She may be located so far away that she’s a mere glitch on the geographical radar for some. But according to my male sources, once encountered, the way she sees life and the essence of her “Dreamtime” soul is simply unforgettable.

That’s just a taste of what makes Australian women so appealing to men.
