what the hell?
did anyone understand what the **** i was saying?
I said that people like Oerdin think that the blue-eyed blonde is the ideal that girls are left wishing they could be... wouldn't believe how many times i've heard people complain that they are indoctrinated to like or be like northern europeans! but no the ideal is for the mediterrenean brunette! Not the blue-eyed blonde!
if it is not, disprove what i was saying about tanning and light-skinnedness...
thanks

Well This thread has come to the conclusion that there are beutiful women of every type, and it's whatever floats yer boat.
All my girlfriends have been typical english girls, all ultra white, altho only one with Blonde hair.
I still fancy spanish women tho! definatly.
Japanese women are nice too, but not Middle Eastern.

Sorry, but I must emphatically disagree with the idea that beauty is subjective and not objective, that objective opinions of beauty do not necessarily cross cultural boundaries and scope. Cross-cultural research into beauty has shown the opposite, really:
quote:
Research shows that even three month old babies stare at photos of the faces of attractive people longer than at photos of unattractive people. The human face and eyes are innately very attractive to babies and hold a baby's attention. This attraction to human faces and, particularly, the attraction to attractive human faces, seems to be built into our psychology. It does not depend upon the culture we grow up in.
There seem to be cross-cultural ideas of facial beauty: preferred features in females are small lower faces with smallish chins, delicate jaws, high cheekbones, full lips, wide smiles and large eyes which are large in proportion to the length of the face.
The most attractive male faces seem to be those that, while emphasizing masculine features such as a strong chin and prominent brow which are suggestive of dominance and strength, also combined these with more feminine, softer features. This may be attractive to women because while it offers typical male characteristics it also suggests a man with nurturing qualities who may be interested in children. According to some research women are most attracted to stereotypically masculine hard facial features during the time in their menstrual cycle when they are most likely to conceive. The rest of the time they prefer men with more feminine facial features. It is suggested that this is because the 'hardness' suggests toughness and survival capability while the attraction to feminine features in men at other times of the cycle suggests an attraction to more nurturing men who would be more likely to assist in child rearing.
Tallness in men is attractive-it suggests dominance, status, and power and therefore the possibility of resources. Masculine dominance and power are epitomized in the giant stone heads of the ancient Olmecs of MesoAmerica. These are thought to be representations of their rulers. |

On the other hand, race and culture do play a small part:
quote:
However, interestingly those faces considered to be the most beautiful are typically those which have the greatest number of facial features average to any particular culture/race. It is thought that the typically average is attractive because the average suggests something which has adapted to its environment and is healthy. Of course, as the racial mix of a culture changes so might then the ideal of a beautiful face. |
