    The beauty standard is "look like a rich person" + "look healthy"

      pfffff. "look sportive, wear camo or working gear." sounds far better to me. Add to that a brain mass that makes interesting stuff come out the talkyhole can't possibly be overstated.
      From the day my parents accidentally put working class kid me into a rich brats school (around the age of10), I was wondering why the hell would I ever pick a girl who makes herself into a "I'm completely shallow and useless and my beauty doesn't allow me to do ANYTHING, I could break off my expensive nails!"

      @@becsingleton7951 I'm not sure Eurocentrism is an independent tendency. European people (Whites) are generally wealthier than people of any other ethnic group.

      In the early 14th century, Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt sent an envoy to the Mongol Empire.
      Ghazan Khan who ruled the Middle East(and thus over most of the known races in Eurasia at the time) boasted to him "Look how beautiful Mongol women are! You don't have such women in your country, do you?"
      No wonder, because the wealthiest women in his realm must have been Mongol aristocratic ladies in his court.

    I had to pause this around the 3 minute mark... I grew up on a beach. Me, oh so hwyte, so frail. I have been sunburned many a time in my youth. I surfed, I skated, I loved being outside! But then I GREW UP. I my late teens and early 20s, I began to truly question why some folks CHOSE to lay in the sunlight, and burn their skin. All the time, I got to see People just laying around, some even going to establishments to lay in a MACHINE to get tan. WHY?! It was around this time as well, that I also really began to DESPISE the Sun. That damn thing is HOT, and it BURNS YOUR SKIN.
    And I still don't get it, some 30 years later. Y'all are insane to want that look. I'll stay in the shade, TYVM

      I pride my graveyard worker tan. Sunburned neck and lower arms, rest white as snow. Unlike regular construction workers, working topless on graveyard is considered rude. And yes, without direct sunlight the job is A LOT easier.

    • @appa609
      @appa609 Před 3 měsíci +2

      It's pretty simple. You, in your youth, is the person all those people in tanning salons are trying to emulate. They want to look like active outdoorsy people who surf and swim and skate.

    Creatives should be the ones who set the beauty standard because we are the people who try to harness humanity's beauty in all it's forms, and colors lol. (Jk kinda, but seriously I hate how rich people get to set standards, meanwhile they won't hesitate to take up anything poor people like.)

    Personally i think most people are beautiful in their own way, and when you get to know someones personality its easier to appreciate the special look and behavior that person has, i think the only real universal beauty standard should be that people stay healthy and that they take time out of theyre they to work on their look

    Well after living in Europe from 1999 till December 2021 the last 6 in Copenhagen I have to say I kinda forgot how overweight my fellow Americans are. In Denmark everyone rides bicycles from the earliest age I just got used to a relatively fit population. That means more fit women per capita. As an old man of 64 who remembers the 70s quite well we just weren't such an overweight society. So all my 1st girlfriends were hippie/alternachicks until the mid 90s and had leg hair etc. Who cares not me.
