Worldwide beauty Standards - Post Carefully!

I'm not entirely sure what it is you're after but no, the western standard is not everywhere.

Just after thoughts on exactly that and the tangential conversation such a question would provide. Obviously individual peoples opinions will vary so the question must be about non-western opinions in general. Keeping in mind that I said only faces a couple of the women pictured or mentioned I find a bit bland, one is too skeletor looking for me and Kate Moss is just weird at least in some pics. Of course I'd probably smash em all though because their are ways around a butterface.

After some comments have come in now maybe I could ask a more pointed question - Straight men only - if you took a world-wide poll with pics of the last 10 Miss Universe's faces would the majority class them as beautiful?

I tried to find a representative pic of even 6 together but there was always 1 or 2 out of my taste, further reinforcing the personal taste aspect. Folks could argue about who's the best at anything forever so that was definitely not the question I was asking.

I think the cultural influence (confluence) would be too much here, all those contestants look similar as that is the nature of the contest and the fact that it has most definitely adopted "western" standards, just because that's where it started...

Maybe a more interesting experiment would be to do this same thing but 3000 years ago, where you took a "most beautiful" representitive of each culture. Cultures that hadn't really been exposed to each other. So, you'd get an Egyptian, a Mayan, a Cree, a Polynesian, an Austrailian......etc. and you'd comapre the beauty of those to each other and with each group without them having influenced the contest by everyone adopting similar tastes. IDK, I'm pretty high, but it sounds like a cool idea :ROFLMAO:

Much like the modifications @Slartibartfast mentioned for beauty, it is rampant in NA too. Now people are getting implants to larger / rounder butts, breast implants, and liposuction, face lifts, line reduction surgery, botox injections, etc, etc. etc.
There was a time a woman with a large butt was not considered all that attractive, just go to the gym and at the gym I go to 95% or more of the women who are not powerlifters, all work on 'building a shelf' - doing RDL, hyper extensions, kickbacks, different machines that mostly hit the glutes, step backs that hit the glutes/hams vs. quads. There are now full workouts that list 4-5 exercises that hit the glutes and not much else other than some hamstring work and a little quad work. Women would not do this if men did not find it attractive. Then opposite can be said too - men would not kill themselves in the gym/take PED's if women did not find it attractive.
Just check out FB or any social media and most of the social media influencers on these platforms have pics of their butt in g-strings or in booty shorts and it appears the bigger/the rounder the better.
The Asian men I know find different features more attractive than the NA men I know who speak about what attracts them physically to a woman. Interesting topic @gondar1.
Off topic, but holy F you are ripped @Slartibartfast !!

You mentioned a few more of the things that were on my mind before starting the thread. I tried to steer it to being all about faces but mostly because I thought it would get to be too broad (lol) of a discussion right away if we talked about bodies.
Though my taste in faces has remained the same since I was a child the evolution of the "in style" body types plus personal experiences has surprisingly influenced my taste in that area. I still can not get attracted to a what I will politely call a plump woman past a certain amount of time. I've met some very pretty and charming as hell women but if they were too heavy I just couldn't imagine pulling the trigger. I literally have only ever slept with one. It still haunts me and she was only maybe 5'4" and 130.

Big butts? Still a no for me, I like a petite woman with a little heart shaped ass but all that spandex I see out in the world suctioned on to FIT women has moved the bar for me a bit in the last 10 years or so.

PS If I took an outside view as a shrink I would surely point out that I probably like em small cause the bodybuilder body dysmorphia I have leads me to feeler bigger then. Sucky part of the little bit of insecurity a lot of lifters have in their fuel tank.

And yeah fucking @Slartibartfast I hate to say "for a guy that age" so I won't, that's a crazy look my friend.
 
I just try to focus on what different people find cool or attractive without making it about whole groups. Asking folks about their own experiences usually keeps things chill and respectful.
 
I'm a simple man, what I like simply depends on the day of the week 😁

I did do an experiment once by adding making a burner Instagram account and adding 50+ girls. Over time I simply unfollowed the ones I got bored of to narrow the list down to 25, 15 and so on. I got to the last 5 and the results were not that they were shocking, just that I somehow got there in the end.

I narrowed it down to 3 and a runner up:

1st/2nd place (tied/ conflicted) - Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Carribean came out on top. This came by no surprise since these two ethnic groups are what I grew up around/ in.

3rd: Italian - when I think about it I've had quite a bit of Italian influence in my life through people I consider mentors/ gurus in most aspects of my life.

4th: Thai - this I didn't even think to expect.

All that said, I find white/ fair skinned women with dark hair and blue or green eyes mesmerizing as hell. Yet not one made it to the list which I find odd.

So as much as there's so many beautiful women from a range of different cultures I suppose I can still boil it down to what I'm familiar with. So yea I guess I have a type 😅😎
