That said, since "pulp" magazine tend to be more spectacular than accurate,  
and since these females are little more than "teens", from 16-25 (average age of 20) years old, and one third disdain marriage ever, attitudes may well change.

ITALIAN WOMEN PREFER FOREIGNERS TO THEIR ITALIAN PEERS

A study conducted by the magazine "20" reveals that Italian women between the ages of 16 and 25 prefer foreign men to Italian men. 

The survey was conducted on 788 women, many of whom described Italian men as apathetic, boring, childish, and even a bit effeminate. 

For 63% of those surveyed, their ideal male is manly like an African, while another 29% prefers the culture and wittiness of Jewish men. 

For 39%, Indian mystique and charm are the qualities sought, while for 18% the wealth of an Arab oil sheik is at the top of their list. 

Roughly 32% of those surveyed said that they were not interested in long-term relationships which extinguish the flames of passion and excitement over time, and exclude the possibility of meeting other men.
