I'm half British myself and I'd say the brits are a pretty ugly bunch and often have a weak bone structure. However, I think quite a lot of Northern Europeans are not especially attractive, not just British (after all we are a mix of celts, germans, french and dutch with a touch of viking) There is also the issue of plain colouring which makes people look uglier - here in the Middle East a lot of people look striking and attractive and in part it's features but also strong eyebrows, long eyelashes and dark hair and eyes play a part
I don't know what it is - genetics? My diet was good and I still have a small lower jaw. If you look at Iranians, a lot of them have really strong gonial angles...is it because there is some asian (mongol) blood from the Ghengis Khan? Living in a very mixed place, as well as British and some Northern Europeans, I also see a lot of Indians with poor bone structure, whereas some Pakistanis (especially northerners and pashtuns) have much more defined faces.
Brits do not have bad teeth, it's just that they 'got into' orthodontics later than Americans did
Don't forget that this is also an English language forum
Also I think Americans are more likely to get jaw surgery when they're teenagers. When I was a teen, jaw surgery in the UK on the NHS was very rare, but I was told that now it's more common. So there are quite a number of Brits with bite issues that had orthodontic work when they needed surgery
Late post, but you kidding? I live in the UK and there are tons of incredibly good looking people here. I've lived in a large middle-eastern immigrant community and there is no way they are more attractive than native Brits or other northern Europeans. They have weaker chins and jaws in general, less developed cheekbones, less refined noses and a very high proportion of them have deformities which are rare among Europeans. I suspect some of this is the result of inbreeding within middle-eastern communities, since a large proportion of them marry their cousins. This isn't just my opinion, either. It's supported by academic studies.

There's just no way that your typical Iranians are better looking than your typical Brits. There's a reason Europeans are stereotyped as good-looking all over the world - especially in the middle-east. Most of their film stars look European, right down to many of them having blue/green eyes.
These are just random pictures of Iranians and northern Europeans plucked off google.

The reason there are so many people from the UK on this forum is because the British tend to be self-conscious and lacking in confidence. Not because they have unusually weak chins. Most Brits have strong chins.
