Reply #13: There has been a lot of research on what men find attractive [View All]

[AngryAmish]

I'm too lazy to look it up but across cultures men like a certain breast to waist to hip ration. Some cultures like heavier women, some thinner. But a guy in Kansas, a guy and Khazistan and a hunter-gatherer in the Amazon will all more or less agree what women are the most attractive when shown a photo series.

Men also find youthful appearance attractive along with clear skin and symmetrical features.

So there is a lot of conjecture about airbrushing and culture and blah, blah, blah - seek evidence when those claims are made. If examined they are just ascientific blather. For example have rates of eating disorders shot up when photoshop became commonplace? It used to be a long, difficult process to alter a photograph. Look at the fashion magazines of the 70s and compare them to today. Not so much photo retouching then. So was there a spike in the rates when it became widespread in the 90s? That would be science. Maybe even a nice study for a bright college kid to do and get published.
