Icelandic men, the acquired taste...

When I first lived in Iceland for a longer period of time I discovered how so many things in Iceland are somewhat a matter of an acquired taste. Hákarl, lysi, skata, all the food from the þorri... The list of things in Iceland that might not cater to the mainstream tourist grows long. During a night out on town I came to a conclusion: While Icelandic women are on an average so much more beautiful than the other European women, Icelandic men are also somewhat of an acquired taste. Before discovering this, I thought that I had been fortunate enough to find the only good looking icelander there is.
I visited Iceland this Christmas and realized that it was no longer only Jónsi and Pall Oskar who looked good. The pubs where packed with men who looked slightly like my husband and therefore were good looking. There might be hope for the icelandic mankind after all, or for me. However you choose to see it.
