i agree in theory but what’s seen as attractive changes decade after decade. if you read victorian literature all the beautiful women are described as “plump”. a lot of the more classic depictions of female beauty (paintings and sculptures etc) have women on the curvier side. you used to be able to just flash an ankle and send people into throes of lust

i agree that there is an aspect of your brain identifying what you perceive as attractive, but outside forces also influence what you think that is. what is “fat” now would have been super attractive 100+ years ago. likewise what was ugly then may be attractive to us now. it’s all a curve!

Beauty is subjective. What you might see in a mate isn’t necessarily what someone else would see. Like a poster mentioned above, they like big noses because they think that it gives a person character. Someone else won’t etc. I do believe there’s someone out there for everyone. Yeah, there are “conventional” standards of beauty but they change all the time.

Dunno about that. I mean I know the evolutionary thing has a basis to it but my father looks like a cross between Rodney from OnlyFools and Quasimodo, looker he is not which according to the above makes me some freak of nature!

Your mam must have seen something in him that signaled his virility. Sorry for the visual
Maybe his energetic dancing, which would show his superior co ordination and stamina = healthy genes. I think it's more subtle than attractive face and body which would be the most obvious signals. @appleinmypie

God I would have loved different looking barbies when I was little. They were always the classic, tall, thin and blonde and I completely grew up thinking you were only attractive or worth anything if you looked like that. Proper fucked with my head for a good while. I love the thought of little girls being able to pick out a dolly that looks just like them. Barbie could make a ton with a custom function. They could have doll studios like Build a Bear where you could pick out skin tones, body shape, hair style etc and then add things like birthmarks in store. Someone call Dragon's Den, think of me when you're rich and famous and send me a masked pumpkin doll will ya?

I think this is why we seems to have “types” too, it’s subconscious. My husband and exes all seem to bear a passing resemblance to cavemen (tall, muscular, thug like looking!) I must be drawn to men who can go out and hunt something for my dinner (when in reality my husband would struggle to hunt down a ready meal in Tesco!)

Just what we need, models with a face like a box of spanners

I love a Roman nose. I think they're beautiful but whenever I see my own I do consider rhinoplasty. How does that work??

Agree, maybe this is an UO but I love that calories are on menus now for example. In this context I just think knowledge is power.

When I was in year 4 my friend gave me a Sindy or perhaps a knock off Sindy, and it had a pregnant belly that you lifted up and a baby fell out of. I was like 7/8ish ? My mum was mortified and binned it

Just going back to the model with the prosthetic ... I think one of the issues is how crap that costume is. It look terrible on both models.

I hate it when swimming costumes have weird styles like one sleeve or random cut outs. Why can’t they just be full body or a simple top and bottoms. The worst is when they have extra straps for no reason and you end up with weird tan lines.
