| Beauty standards are universal. People all over the globe have similar opinion on the facial beauty of Asian, Hispanic, African-American, and white ladies. Even native people unexposed to mass media agree with the rest of the world.
Infants gaze much longer and demonstrate more delight when watching photographs of attractive faces of men and women. One-year-olds play much longer with facially appealing dolls than with less attractive dolls.
Standards of beauty are associated with woman's health: a clean, smooth skin; full, shiny hair; large and round lips; bright eyes; and symmetrical features.
Several years ago CNN reported that according to Match. Com "gentlemen select women with light brown hair".
We know that men are biologically hard-wired to find features that are generally associated with youth more beautiful. Features associated with youth are facial features that are also related to good health. One reason gentlemen may choose light brown hair could be that color processing hair to turn to it blond frequently leaves the hair damaged, lacking shine and movement - indications of youth and good health. Light-brown-haired women, however, shouldn't become arrogant as a result of the survey, as hair color, alone, when all is said and done, does not determine whether a woman will be considered appealing by males.
Women's personalities do play a role in whether men find them beautiful. Whether women have nice bone structure, pretty noses, nice complexions, good-looking builds, and move in an appealing way matter when it comes to whether men find a lady pretty. Whether a woman has shining, lively, light-brown hair or equally healthy -looking blonde, dark-brown, red, or black hair - no hair color, by itself, is sufficient to guarantee that a woman will be beautiful to men. Rather, men tend to consider ladies with a 70% waist-to-hip proportion to be appealing. The 70% or higher waist-to-hip proportion, and the Golden ratio (62% waist-height-to-total-height proportion) display health and fertility. |
