[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9310034, member: 7025918"] Of course it can change. Beauty standards are twofold. Biological and social. And on an biological level for example though thighs, wide hips are a signal of fertility and an ability to easily have children. And also what we see on film/hollywood/popular culture is not the beauty standard of the general populous. Even when in every movie and series all the females were super skinny with big fake breasts, I would dare say that a lotmof.men preferred curvier women. It is one thing of what is represented as a beauty ideal in Media an what is actually considered attractive by the populous. But of course, the media influences beauty standards. But also other social/external factors. Scarcity is usually a social beauty standard. Somebody who is rare in looks - like fat was more of a beauty standard in societies that had problems to get enough food. While skinny becomes more of a beauty standard in societies with an abundance of cheap food that makes you fat easily. Status is also beauty. In a lot of Africa, lighter skin and straight hair was seen as a beauty ideal because it the symbol of the people in power. Then there is social pressure, too. [/QUOTE]
