Beauty - widespread similarity!

[gelaye]

having looked through the replies to the post i made earlier about 'the europid - widespread beauty' i came to the conclusion that infact, all beautiful people seem to be the same race. Now i know that sounds ridiculous but if you look at a pretty european, she will have the symmetrical features, etc nothing to harsh or nothing to extreme for the europid type eg. very high nose bridge or too depigmented or very fine hair etc. a pretty africoid woman will have symetrical features, not too harsh and not extreme negroid, eg. very broad nose or pronounced proganthy (or however you spell it), a beautiful mongoloid woman will be the same, she will have nothing that screams EXTREME ARCTIC mongoloid, but she will maintain the epicanthus, and have symetrical rounded features.

What im trying to say is that beautiful people arent representants of their race, as they are all similar looking to one another wherever you are - they are harmonized and don't have any of their races features in what one would call extreme quantities. However they all tend to have at least one thing that is only found in their race that makes them beautiful and different from beautiful people of othe races eg. europids, lightly coloured eyes and hair, africoids; curly hair, bone structure, eye shape etc, mongoloids; bone structure, eye shape, skin








and now classify all of them!

There was a special on PBS a couple years ago that featured a guy who had created a "beauty mask" that featured the geometric lines of the "perfect face," which he found matched pretty well against photographs of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and even Brad Pitt. Maybe the human mind has some sort of a fetish for certain shapes, perhaps because they communicate a sense of "good" genes?

Beauty involves balance and proportion. Most people find their own kind to be most beautiful and beauty exists in all races IMO.

I agree completely and that's what i keep saying when they post models or other beauties for classification. Beauty follows an universal standard, beautiful people look all alike and they resemble more each other than any normal member of their "race".

I don't find any of those women particularly beautiful, as it were. Attractive, yes, but beautiful... ehhh, that's too strong a word. When I think beautiful I think Monica Bellucci.

Isn't it just because that beauty ideal has been spread so widely throughout the world now by the media? Extreme features are probably preferred among populations who have extreme features and who haven't been brainwashed into thinking these types are the epithome of beauty, all those models posted are western models, and models are always picked from western standards.

Is it the media or something more primordial?

If the european look is a universal ideal, why haven't all the races evolved european-like features by now?

You can't live in Siberia and not come out something like a tungid. It's not ice-age Europe. It's a very extreme environment almost all the time, just as you can't be Europid in a hot tropical environment and expect to stay that way sans civilization.

I think every race has its beautiful points and downfalls. For example, Nordic women, while being tall, blond, and blue-eyed, tend to be small-chested, and have large ears and noses.
