NZ women ugly, men are fashionophobic

Kiwi women are unattractive and New Zealand men can't dress to save themselves, according to a British fashion blogger who visited our shores at Christmas.

"I think if I lived there I would go off my rocker," wrote Andrew Williams on Men's Flair this week.

"Firstly, I didn't see one attractive woman - other than the one I took with me. Secondly, and most importantly, Kiwi men are utterly unrepentant in their desire to dress badly. Indeed, they seem to revel in it."
Williams, a 33-year-old Londoner who works as a researcher for a Conservative MP, came to New Zealand with his Kiwi girlfriend.

It was his second trip here and he visited his girlfriend's family in Hamilton and went to the Coromandel and Wellington. He also "wandered around Parnell and Newmarket" in Auckland.

Williams also said that Kiwi men showed a "complete lack of flair, care, quality and above all effort" and viewed any kind of interest in clothing as "effeminate".

"It was as though the last forty years in male clothing and grooming hadn't happened."
Williams also blogged on where to shop in New Zealand, tipping outdoorsy label Rodd & Gunn, Australian chain Country Road and shirtmakers Rixon Groove and 3 Wise Men.

He acknowledged New Zealand had a "thriving independent designer scene and some perfectly solid antipodean high-street retailers", which he considered a sad contrast to our men's attitude to fashion.

But he was quick to say we shouldn't really take his comments to heart.

"I don't claim for one minute it's the definitive word. I don't claim to be a great prophet on the subject.

"It's an opinion based on my experience and asking myself how I'd get on down there. It's not to say I don't like New Zealanders, but I didn't see anyone I thought was well-dressed," he added.

Williams said part of the relaxed attitude of the Kiwis people made them such wonderful people to hang around with.

"But if you want to go to dinner in flip-flops, you can't scratch your head and wonder why you're not in the GQ best-dressed list."

A RAUNCHY Air New Zealand advertisement that features desperate older women or "cougars" preying on young men for sex has been condemned as sexist.

The spoof nature documentary reports younger men sometimes "pretend to be gay" to avoid the women but are "dragged off to their inner-city apartments and cruelly made to listen to Enya or the Eurythmics", stuff.co.nz reports.

It says cougar attacks have had a "devastating effect" on young male "herds".

The short film was made to promote Air New Zealand's offer of 60 free tickets to next month's Wellington Sevens rugby tournament.

Women over 35 are invited to email photos of themselves and their cougar hunts, while a simultaneous promotion run by a local radio station is selecting 10 young men to attend the match as cougar "meat".



The ad has sparked debate in New Zealand over whether it promotes negative stereotypes of women, or is simply a light-hearted joke.

Auckland comedian and poet Penny Ashton told stuff.co.nz the ad was sexist and "incensed" her.

"Men are not helpless. Surely if you say no a couple of times it should work?" she said.
