In Belize it varies:

BUT...The standard of attractiveness for Men and Women would most consistently be the "Royal" Kriol look...


and Like Incanal said,

Males: Not too amerindian

Females: Not too amerindian

With Peruvians...

Males: Not too amerindian

Females: Not too amerindian

that means you are automatically ruling out at least 80%-90% of peruvian population

All we have to do is look at the depictions inscribed on temple walls and sculpture, paintings and physical descriptions of people, mythological or non-mythological in Indic literature especially so the world famous work on aesthetics and sexual behavior, the Kama Sutra to know the ideal idea of beauty among Indians. As far as women are concerned, one invariably reads of or sees a woman that is heavy breasted, with a languorous gait, large or wide hips, with overall full features coupled with either sharp or slightly infantile/soft features and appealing facial features as an expression of the same ideal.

Indians generally do prefer relatively light skin as an ideal - the preference for relatively fair skin is more of a deeply ingrained cultural aspect, rather than a penchant that is the by-product of colonialism or Westernization. One simply has to look at the various mythological figures and heroines in Hindu mythology to affirm a certain trend. For instance, Radha the companion of Lord Krishna is described as Jasmine bosomed. Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva is sometimes refered to as Gaura (golden) Rani (queen) or more commonly, Gauri. The Skanda Purana contrasts the goddess' demonic form Kaali with the aforementioned one. Apart from this general idea that golden (light brown) skin is beautiful, there are also few examples of dark skinned mythological figures who were known for their exceptional beauty. The much adored Lord Krishna was himself known as shyama (dark) - sundara (beautiful). Lord Rama of the Ramayana was said to be 8 Ft tall in stature, with long arms ideal for wielding heavy bows and appealing facial features. Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata was described as being extremely dark skinned (hence her other name; Krshnaa) but was described as having attractive facial features, fascinating breasts and a swan-like demeanor.

The following was posted by another user elsewhere on the forum, but this'll make for good reference. As per the Kama Sutra, the following women are not to be enjoyed -
  • A leper
  • A lunatic
  • A woman turned out of caste
  • A woman who reveals secrets
  • A woman who publicly expresses desire for sexual intercourse
  • A woman who is extremely white
  • A woman who is extremely black
  • A bad-smelling woman
  • A woman who is a near relation
  • A woman who is a female friend


This would probably be the ideal type in the North-Western parts of the South Asian sub-continent-

In my country...they prefer someone who is racially ambiguous.

Generally, the guys would prefer petite, slim girls with long straight hair or with loose curls. They don't have a specific skin color type...but nothing too extreme. Usually, those who have a healthy golden to bronze color is sought after. Some prefer chinky eyes, and some prefer big doe-eyes, so it's not specific.

The girls prefer guys who are tall slim but muscular...most models and actors I've seen should be ripped. I'm having a hard time answering this because of my personal preference, but I actually appreciate a tall Filipino guy with broad shoulders and tanned skin!

It's a bit of a split personality...naughty vs nice. Men don't know if they'd rather choose the nice, girl-next-door type (read: virgin), or the sexy, curvy, bombshell type. It's the same for the women.

Inspired by a conversation in another thread "Classify this Mulatto" by kilmetro7.

What are the perceptions of beauty in your society, both male and female, and what are some of the physical and personality preferences?

To start it off

Among the Tuareg and Songhai both, there is preference for darker males (dark skinned and dark brown) and reddish-brown/medium brown females.

For example,

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/...99501857bd.jpg

and

http://hair.afroglitzmag.com/files/2009/06/fulani1.jpg

I've noticed that about most African ethnicities actually, other than the westernized ones the most preferable skin tone for a female is a medium reddish brown complexion, in comparison to a darker skinned male. Dark skinned and light skinned females don't face discrimination, neither one is better then the other to be honest. On the other hand, light skinned males usually face some form of prejudice... they are often seen as weak. Poor me! But I'm not that bad, my skin tone is more of a swarthy complexion.

I've noticed that the Songhai in particular, in addition to other West Africans classify black people into 5 categories...

Very Black

Dark Brown

Reddish Brown/Medium Toned
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5179/...4c00907d57.jpg
Light Brown
http://about-face.org/blog/wp-conten...camp-6-mdn.jpg
Very Light
http://www.frenchcreoles.com/@ARM775...rl-Posters.jpg

Northern Maghrebi's and some Tuaregs are referred to as "red", so basically swarthy... but you have to fit a particular phenotype as well. Black people can't be "red", they can be "very light"... but not "red". For example I'm sometimes called "red" and/or "very light", depending on who I'm talking to.

Other than skin tone, high broad cheek bones are preferred on men, round foreheads and clear faces are preferred on women.

http://www.corbisimages.com/images/6...B/AL027652.jpg

and

http://www.lepoint.fr/content/system/media/yade3.jpg

Broad shoulders, impressive height (tall), and short hair are also pluses for men.
Small waist, wide hips, fragile upper body, long neck, and long wholly hair are also pluses for women.

Personality wise, men are expected to be aggressive and almost "warrior-like", our women have more freedom to expressive their feelings... but a woman who is "mother-like" is most desired.
They usually like women with curves ha
For me it be something like this

Olive skin is considered most attractive in my ethnicity. In my family, I was considered the better looking of the girls because I was the darkest one, and because I tanned the darkest in the sun.

I my country people with brown eyes are considered to be beautiful, that's probably because the most people here has blue/grey eyes.
But at the same time people like blond girls, but that's similar all over the world. Blue eyes and blond hair, that's the combination which works everywhere.

^I do not agree with this view(about brown eyes). I haven't met this opinion among my mates, people I know.
But this may be true for MTV/Cosmopolitan brainwashed youth.

Maybe that's more typical for women here, to like brown eyed men.

I'm not sure if there is a single ideal of beauty here. But if there's one, she tends to be averageish looking (at least pigmentation wise)

Like this:

Well, I know Angelina Jolie was voted so many times in a row as the sexiest woman in the world in Israel's only man's magazine, that they had to retire her.

The top five in the 2009 survey(which is as recent as I could get online) are as follows:

5. Adi Himmelbloi(light Ashkenazi)
4. Noa Tishbi(dark Mizrahi)
3. Megan Fox(dark-haired Gentile)
2. Scarlett Johansson(light mixed Ashkenazi/Gentile)
1. Bar Refaeli(light Ashkenazi)

Miri Bohadana(dark Sepharadi), Ninet Tayeb(Sepharadi), and Anna Aharonov(dark Ashkenazi), are usually near the top of the lists I've seen. I don't think they're really perceived as pretty as much as sexy, though.
Monica Bellucci, Liv Tyler(I really don't get it), Luisana Lopilato, and Jessica alba are also often somewhere in the top 10-20, I think.

Israeli Women like meddish looking men, usually(Noam Tur being a notable exception).

I think this is true only for European and Asian groups. Aframs and perhaps Afro descendant groups in general are for the most part, apathetic towards blond hair and blue eyes.
