How and why are European and European descent white girls considered to be the beauty standards globally?


A think is a combination of good marketing hundreds of years ago (they are the beauty standard that the most powerful men were attracted to) and good genes. "white" women are objectively beautiful.
White men dominate the world so of course they are going to program everyone to think that their gene is the most superior.
Should we complain and try to fix it? Or just be proud of it?
It can’t be changed or fixed because it stems from colonisation from a very long time ago. History is always there.
And do you feel guilty about it? Is it bad that it gives me an ego boost
No, because I believe things are meant to happen.
Not sure why you would feel guilty about this, I guess it is weird to get an ego boost though. You can't fix something that isn't a even true though. White women are definitely NOT a global beauty standards. That's a very western idea you got there. The average person is attracted to people that look like them, this beauty standards varying region to region. The average Chinese person would prefer someone who is Chinese over white or any other race. Same with Indian, African and so on.

I think racism is lowest against white people so advertisers think they will get more sales if they use white models, they have to use people the world will not discriminate against, so they can’t be too good looking or perfect or delicate looking.
Because of white dominance in the media (European/American Movies Beauty Makeup and Fashion were widespread all over the world because they used to be the only ones who had the money and privilege to do so; all industries involving beauty blew up from white countries whilst other countries were still developing). This 'white' media portrayed white beauty ideals as superior to all other ethicities and broadcast this world wide and these were accepted by all the people in countries that watched them before they properly developed their own media with their own features and beauty ideals present.
Now most countries can afford and have their own media too where they celebrate their own features also as beautiful. Truthfully, the world has moved on now mostly and you'll notice people of all races are still getting into relationships where their partner thinks they are beautiful. Beyonce is considered Globally beautiful for instance, Adut Akech, Aishwariya Rai etc they are not white. So dont worry. Im sure you are beautiful too. Only ignorant people still think ONLY white women can be beautiful, and you do not want to date/marry someone ignorant so do not worry about meeting their standards.
If you think globally white girls are considered the most beautiful, I must inform you factually this is false; most countries have their own ethnic 'beauty standards' that do not come from white people at all. I assume that you are speaking from experience? Perhaps remove yourself from media that follows this narrative and people who support it too if you must. Follow some Korean Beauties, Black girl appreciation pages, Desi Girl appreciation pages etc to remind yourself the world is bigger - and a lot better - than the small minded one you have experienced
all the best <3
"Beauty standards" as people like you complain about and most men are basically oblivious to in reality are influenced almost entirely by the fashion and modeling industries, which are heavily embedded into western Europe and the northeastern United States. The reality behind the curtain however is that these industries know their consumer base, and white women are the ones typically most willing to splurge money on overpriced fashion and beauty products, and commercials for related goods and services are heavily focused on that demographic as well. Even from a psychological and marketing standpoint, white women are more likely to, shall we say, "be adventurous" or "take risks" with something thrown at them, while others tend to stick with what they know or are directly influenced by their own community/friends. Whenever they attempt to market for or towards other ethnicities, it almost always flounders due to a combination of what comes across as detached virtue signaling, and pandering to what makes up a niche group of consumers that they struggle to understand.
Go back to say 1900 - 1920’s look at global societies.
what fashions were being worn globally by those with cash and influence?
Now move forward every 10 years and repeat, where did all the fashion design houses originate, what countries were leading fashion?
Also over that period look at Hollywood and movie stars.
Then just keep going to present day, look at the majority of cat walk models, the fashion houses and media.
If you ask anyone to picture a high society ‘flapper’ girl, what do they look for?
Changes take time.
All that money, influence and history over 100’s of years.
I don't consider any descended our country or anything like that with beautiful girls each girl is unique all by themselves one girl at a time you can't judge a whole country or Nation bye when girl that girl in your photo she's absolutely beautiful the reason why I say that because you look deep into her eyes and it tells you that she has a very beautiful heart the outside is just a bonus people have to get away from looking at the outside of people and picking that's who they are beauty is on the inside you can think it's all on the outside all you want to but when it boils down to it you'll find out in the long run beauty is only on the inside
White girls come from developed countries and have money. That's why cosmetic and fashion producers pick white girls as their target customers. Their advertisement depicts mostly white girls, because self-identification with girls who use those products.
Next example is manga culture in Japan and other east Asian countries. Slavic photo models make a ton of money there, if they have good managers. Big eyes, thin nose and triangular chin with small chin tip is typical Slavic traits on girls. Feminine characters in anime have those traits exaggerated, that's the reason for popularity of white girls in east Asia.
I guess there are other reasons why, but I didn't never get too deep into it.
It's not our fault, we just use those assets mother nature gave us like every girl does, no matter what skin color she has.
Feminine physical features without being neotenous i. e. Asians.
More testosterone more androgynous
Less testosterone less androgynous

Because that's where the high society comes from. So that is what people has looked up to. If history had turned out differently and china had spread and influence the whole world, it would have been their high society that drove what men and females should thrive to become. And so on. It's history that ripple through time.
Because the western media is predominant such as Hollywood. And also the big Fashion houses are European.
Also, because most world powers are western and beauty has always been associated to wealth, status, and success.
Now with KPop we are seeing Asian beauty become more pip
More popular than ever too*
Hmm…
I’ll come to the line and attempt not to cross it with my contribution. This is because the Euro-American influence leads the developed world in finance. That prestige is heavily marketed and represented in the media. You sell to the most prominent and more affluent segment of a population to achieve the greatest return.

i find that to be less and less true as the years have gone by. European decent is still very pretty and favourable for some but it’s not held to the standard it once was by majority of people. If it still had a hold on society there wouldn’t be so many white girls tanning for a darker appearance (not talking about a light tan to bring a bit of colour to the skin I’m referring to excessive tanning to the point they look a completely different race)

I always thought this was white , and never had seen such a girl and maybe anything white just looks plain and beautiful by itself like say if you draw something on white it stands of.
You could highlight the features if you are white bc it's plain other than any colour
Because they are from the most variant race. There are no naturally blond far Eastern Asians and nearly no blondes/blue eyed within the black African races.
The feet of the white women are the
prettiest. The heel of black and south Americans is broad and the Asian heel is flat so only the white heel is round and firm. The foot is the most curvy of European women with high instep.
Because the white man collectively are the richest and most powerful people on earth who own almost every major media entity, so they promote women who look like their wives, mom, and daughter as the most physically attractive before the world to show them off.
I’m white and am rarely attracted to white women wnd I could care less what the media suggest is the hottest because I have my own mind and I think tan dark haired is so much sexier looking on a women. A cute petite Latina drives me inside. Stop paying attention to what the media suggest and make up your own mind
I think it should be up to the individual to decide what his or her beauty standard is. I am no supermodel and neither is my husband, but we both think we are pretty darn good looking and make each other happy.
That's for other people to answer.
However, I generally prefer women to have extremely pale skin, light eyes, and (if I have a choice!) red hair!
Blonde and blue is very uncommon. 80% of the woman on this planet have dark hair and dark eyes... that's what I prefer.
Why? Because white people are the majority race in Hollywood and they made the standards. It's not the "global" standard, and you're allowed to like whatever kind of people you want.
They aren't.
It's just most major cosmetics companies and marketing agencies are Western founded.
But Japanese, Russian, Dubai, Australian etc companies tend to use their own.
RUssia is part of Europe too (is white), though it expands to far east asia...
I don't think they are as much anymore but not to long ago they were the only woman who were shown in mainstream media
Probably because they consume cosmetics and clothing more than other women, so the cosmetic industry and fashion industry will cater after them.
I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Beauty is multicultural.
Race doesn’t determine beauty like at all.
Also all these comments hating on Asians and hispanics as if they don’t have some of the most beautiful people ever...
I think this is not true. at least it's not valid for 2022.. Men around me like Latina women more
Ehhh sorry but beauty is and will ALWAYS be in the eye of the beholder...
I have met beautiful women of all nationalities and absolutely disagree with you
That’s not universal. Most people are ethnocentric about who they find most attractive.
I don't know and idc.
I don’t follow beauty standards. :)
I don’t really think it’s a thing anymore. Beauty is everywhere and very diverse.
Not sure what u talking about, marsian girls are hotest.
Trust me! I ain’t pretty 😂 so I don’t know what beauty standards they are going for
Hush white queen 🤍
White is beautiful.
It is because of severe colonization that the European people have inflicted to the general population centuries ago.
I guess most Asians just considered fair skin as being wealthy while darker skin were basically considered as lower status in Asian society.
This phenomena also exists in native cultures that predate European colonization. Its an easy smooth brained answer to blurt out "wipipio!" Which would probably get you a A in a modern college class.
Hierarchies develop naturally wherein people with more androgynous traits gave way to producing more androgynous offspring i. e. men who did physical labor mating with women whole did physical labor vs men who did more intellectual pursuits/non-laborious tasks mating with women who did more intellectual pursuits/non-laborious tasks. The second group inevitably morphed into a sort of aristocracy over time. Groups of people that never advanced past hunting and gathering, or 'living rough" if you will, retained these traits.
Just a theory but its surely more plausible that Wipipo!
I don't remember anything saying they were, In fact I don't even remember some country or region claiming they have the most beautiful people
Because they're the most beautiful. That's just an objective fact.
They aren't, no one is, there is no "beauty standard".
Because the folks running the media are attracted to their own race and then people consuming this media adopt these preferences

I don't know what /pol is.
www.theguardian.com/.../rise-in-numbers-of-jews-leaving-europe-for-israel-is-not-an-exodus
Aren't they already home?
i have seen loads of girls from all over the world and i think it the girl who is the beauty and not where she is from
they aren't. White women are being shamed globally, considered boring and common, while dark skinned women are considered "exotic" and perfect.
Because they are a minority. Especially red haired blue eye girls.
I don't think they necessarily are. Hot girls are pretty universal. There's a body type and facial structure that most guys of all ethnicities tend to find attractive.
Because they're attractive.
What's weird is that some people seem to be unable to wrap their head around the idea that some features are more attractive than others.
All dislike and no argument also demonstrates that it’s obviously true, but no one wants to admit it.
Because of the stereotypes of colonial history when Britain and other European countries owned a lot of territories in both Americas, Asia and Africa
If that was the case then they would have never elected non Europeans as winners if miss world or miss universe...
I don’t live in those regions so I’m not sure about there stranded off beauty
I don't think that they are. I much more prefer darker skin hair and eyes; Latinas and South Asians.
Because they do look beautiful.. pink pussy and tits and golden hair and light eyes looks so darn amazing
Haha are they 😳 nah beauty is everywhere. But those who carry it inside as well as outside are the standards
Briefly popular "artificial beauty" culture and the big power of the west
That’s what colonizers want us to believe to proof that white people are superior
Because their race is the most influential and powerful in the world probably
It's a hitleristic ideal
He believed that was the "quintessential" female
Colonialism basically. Europeans forced a lot of things upon the rest of the world.
I've been more into Australian girls, mostly for their accent :)
Because back in the day Europeans thought they were #1
Not sure what you are talking about they are pretty girl universal
Because they spend the most money on beauty products
White girls are not really the most desirable anymore. Jewish, Korean and Arab women look way better than them.
@Cubus they aren't. They are genetically more similar to Arabs. And, they have a recent African admixture.
@Cubus they do have some European ancestry, but they are mostly of Middle Eastern ancestry.
As a guy who knows Jewish and Arab women - as @Cubus said The majority of Jewish women literally look like your typical white European but a bit different - Some of them look more Greek (not that they're genetically greek I'm just making the comparison) - While yes most arab women are not "white" - many Christian arab women are - White af - And they're in probably most people's opinion more beautiful than the women you've listed - On average that is..
@jaybee281 Thanks
Because they are most beautiful girls.
But why?
No, What makes you think they're the most beautiful type of girls? Skin? Hair? Eyes? Facial shape? What do you like about them?
Everything.
