ISLAMABAD: Thirty two per cent of Pakistanis consider women of the Subcontinent to be the most beautiful, said the findings of a survey conducted by Gilani Poll/Gallup Pakistan.

In a survey, a nationally representative sample of men and women from across the country were asked the following question:

Thirty two per cent considered women of the Subcontinent to be the prettiest, followed by the women of Middle East (24 percent) and Eastern Asia (16 per cent). Twelve per cent found European woman to be most beautiful, 11 per cent American and 3 per cent African.  Two per cent gave no response.

A detailed analysis of the data revealed that relatively more urbanites (38 per cent) consider the women of the Subcontinent to be the most beautiful as compared to their rural counter parts (28 per cent).
