Sri Lankan girls are a complex mystery I’m still trying to understand. I know I’m generalizing here but I have some observations/theories:

Appearance
- Sri Lankan girls come in every size/shape/skin color - they have Asian/Hispanic and even Caucasian features. Generally they are somewhat shorter than their European counterparts with an average height (I estimate) of around 5 foot 3.
- Most ladies here are genetically predisposed to being slim (while young at least).
- When it comes to looks, girls here are generally attractive, their features are very diverse, possibly due to complex genetic heritage. (Which is more than I can say for Indian girls who all tend to look alike IMO). 

Grooming
- Most ladies are well dressed, they wear a mix of western attire with some opting for Asian (Indian/Sri Lankan) clothing also. Some have a reasonable sense of style and are quite elegant.

Personality
- Most local ladies are quite friendly and outgoing. They are curious and they tend to ask a lot of questions. I find I can usually communicate with any girl I meet, and get into a conversation simply by smiling and saying hello.

- Girls here are more friendly than most. They like to flirt, they like to chat, especially with people from different countries I guess. So I use the dumb foreigner act (which in my case is usually accurate).

Intellect
Girls here tend to be quite educated. Virtually all have done some high school and quite a number are college educated. Most speak English, though not all are totally fluent.

Trivia 
One question ladies ask me, goes along the lines of “Who are your parents/what do they do?” Actually this seems to be a cultural thing - people here (not just girls) tend to ask that. Other than that girls here seem interested in education and admire educated people (which is a shame as I slept through much of UNI)
