I put this on my dating profile recently and I realized it might sound strange. I don't have anything against people from Europe, but as someone from the United States, I guess I just don't find people from other western countries to be very attractive.

I think it's a matter of personal insecurity that leads me to this conclusion. Whenever I'm around Europeans, I start to feel insecure and defensive, because on some level, I know that they're better than me. Europeans are better educated, in better shape, and they have more contact with different languages and cultures. I can't help feeling like they would look down on me for being a simple American.

Is it normal to have that kind of perception?
