You really haven't noticed yet? Most Bulgarian women DO NOT OWN AUTOMOBILES! Even relatively poor Americans own some old funky car, Bulgarian women are walking everywhere and even when they take the bus or train they walked several blocks to get there. Americans are conditioned to start up a car and drive to anything more than a city block away while cars are saved for long trips and vacations in Europe. Of course America is as dangerous as Afghanistan for an attractive woman walking alone so maybe it's better to be a fat woman in America and a thin woman in Bulgaria?
