Both men and women. Is it to do with the way they smile/pose for the camera or something? Seriously, I can almost tell someone is American by the way their neck looks in a photo
HEY OP, YOU CAN’T JUST ACCUSE AN ENTIRE NATION OF HAVING THICK NECKS AND DISAPPEAR WITHOUT ELABORATING. DO I HAVE A THICK NECK!?
Can you share example pictures what you mean?
As an american, I find this thread extremely entertaining but also perplexing. Now I want to see side-by-side comparisons of photos of americans and photos of non-americans. As others have said this is nothing I’ve ever noticed, but now I want to know if this is actually a thing or not.
This is interesting. Even skinny Americans? I’ve never heard this, but I have heard you can tell someone is American because people from elsewhere don’t lean on things when standing.
People from other countries also usually don’t expose their entire set of teeth when smiling…
I am an american and I have lived here my whole life, and I never got this. Almost every person I know IRL except me smiles with all their teeth out like a fucking demented shark or something, and if I dont show my teeth like Im about to bite someone then other people chide in like “come on you arent even smiling!”. For some reason americans just bare all their teeth like dogs when we smile and its disgusting and weird
Would it be wrong to assume you are self-conscious about your teeth (crooked, missing, etc)? This is the case with every American I know that doesn’t like to smile on photos, although sometimes they’re people who are happy to do full-burst laughter showing all in small trusted group settings.
Two jokes I can make out of this. Which could dig at either US or EU/UK

I paid for it, I’m gonna show it off.

Have you seen the British?
They don’t lean on things? Even if there’s a perfectly sturdy horse or fence.right next to you?
Horses, cows, fences, houses, nothing. They stand on two legs like bipedal humanoids.
Car culture is huge in the United States. Most folks I know drive everywhere even if it’s only a mile away. Add fast food drive-throughs like McDonald’s to this and you get obesity and thick “necks”.
This guy looks like the “if humans evolved to survive high impact car crashes” figure they made a while back.
This guy has literally no neck, not a fat neck. He can’t look over his shoulder because his skill is attached to it.
