[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9309546, member: 7025918"] The problem with "concentional attractivness" is, that it is very limiting and does not represent, what most people find actually attractive, but what Hollywood thinks it is. Like in most TV Shows and films (it got better but still) especially young female actors are usually underweight. They look like fashion models. But fashion models are not what Men usullay find attractive. Because Men in general, because of Evolution, prefer at least some curves as a sign of fertility. And Men depicted in Media is usually a wishfullfilment for Men and not something Women find in general attractive. Like, most guys would like to look like Henry Cavil in the latest Superman or like Chris Hemsworth Thor, but for most women that would be way to muscular. They usually don't want ripped bodybuilders. Everybody has different taste and I prefer Art that depict different body types and phenotypes as beautiful. Like I actually find strong/muscular women attractive, but a lot of men don't and would insult them as "looking manly", but they would totally fit in an adventure setting. I find also chubby and fat women attractive. And a lot of men do, but most wouldn't dare to admit that because of Hpllywood Beauty standards. But I also find a friendly Character/good soul, nerdiness and Intellect attractive - good luck depicting that ... maybe with for glasses ... glasses are a must, If I think about it ... ^^. Attractiveness usually depends on what a person is used, too. There is a reason a lot of people end up with people who are like their parents. And with a wider range of reprensation, people will get used to more diverse looks and broaden their own horizon of what they would consider attractive or what they would admit they find attractive in public. And it would do a lot of good for the people who are represented by that. Seeing yourself in Media depicted in a positive light helps raising your own self worth. Most white guys can't relate to that because we are so used to be depicted in Media that we think that is normal. [/QUOTE]
