Mediterranean location definitely influences the looks of people living here. Greek women regularly have tanned skin and thick dark hair. Healthy lifestyle most mediterranean people lead and access to sun all year round give Greek ladies natural yet very nice complexion.

You definitely can’t say that local women are skinny. Yes, due to the healthy diet they are mostly pretty fit, but still kind of curvy. Don’t mistake this with being overweight and don’t tell your Greek girlfriend to lose some weight - local people appreciate the bodies they have and may be offended by your suggestion.

Greek women usually prefer natural looks to bold heavy make-up.

Also, Greek women usually prefer natural looks to bold heavy make-up. They regularly have pleasant facial features, and, combined with tanned skin and overall healthy and neat look, they just don’t need to use too much make-up to feel beautiful. You might see your girlfriend doing her eyebrows or using eyeliner, but this is something she does to enhance the natural beauty rather than to hide her insecurities.

Greek women are also pretty stylish, choosing the clothes which perfectly correspond with their amazing figures.

Personality of a Greek woman

Speaking of the character Greek women have, most of them share the following traits:

  • They are quite emotional. Not to the point italians are, but still very vulnerable. If a woman likes you, you will be able to tell it immediately - her face, her body, her gestures will give her out. If she is angry with you - there will be signs of that too;
  • They are passionate. The most vivid reflection of this trait is in the arguments you will have with your girlfriend. She won’t start them for every little thing - you have to fail really bad to get into an argument with a Greek woman - but if she does argue with you, she does it with all the passion and emotions possible. But apart from emotions, a Greek woman regularly has good point in an argument, which means you’ll have to do some hard work to persuade her she is wrong;
  • They are very chatty. Greek women and Greek people in general are very sociable. They like to meet new people and are definitely not afraid of foreigners, thanks to the constant stream of tourists. So, if you don’t know how to start a conversation with a Greek woman, don’t worry. Just say “Hi” and she will take the initiative into her own hands. Well, she’ll simply be happy to chat to someone new and she knows how to lead the communication;
  • They don’t worry too much. While women from other countries might be disappointed by their boyfriends being late on dates and not bringing flowers, Greek women don’t pay too much attention to these small things. They choose not to stress about the little everyday failures and enjoy their life instead;
  • They are welcoming to foreigners but not necessarily eager to marry them. While Greek women will always be extremely polite and sociable, don’t take it wrong - they don’t want a foreign boyfriend. Greek men are good enough to satisfy all the needs of the local women, which is why ladies see no point in looking for a foreign husband - why do it, if they have everything they need on hand;
  • They are very active. You will hardly find a Greek woman who likes to stay at home. Most ladies would prefer to go out, see their friends, visit a party and dance. Even though they might be great girlfriends and housewives, they don’t want to miss out on social life. That being said, you will never get bored dating a Greek woman, but you’ll also have to adjust to the active lifestyle she leads.

If you want to date a beautiful Greek woman, keep in mind that gender roles are still pretty vivid here. Of course, women can be quite independent, have their own successful career and personal life, but when it comes to relationships, they expect a man to be the leader in their couple, as well as a breadwinner.

Family is one of the most important things for Greek people. Most relatives have really tight bonds and have examples of happy marriages all over. This is why people here are looking for partners to create the same happy family with.
