Learning from Mr. Darcy
A study has revealed that women find British men the most romantic compared to men of other countries. Naturally such findings cannot be expressed without reference to everyone’s favorite misunderstood romantic.
Despite chilly male characters in classic British novels, such as Mr Darcy in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Dr David Nias, a clinical psychologist at St Bartholomew’s hospital, London, said an emphasis on romance was rooted in the country’s culture. “Following all our history and tradition, the caricature of the English gentleman still applies,” said Nias. “We are romantic in a quiet way.”

“Despite”?? I see a significant logical failure here.
