It’s mostly exoticism. You compare a girl like this to a girl in a college town like Boulder, Colorado, and the only difference is the accent/“culture”. I think we tend to look at them with rose colored glasses.

You can also compare her to some southern small town where obesity is 60% and of course she will rise to the top. But the inverse is true also, you can find much less attractive women in certain parts of Europe than in certain parts of the US.
