Unique beautify is people just doing their own thing, and hoping people like it.
It's not exactly a BAD thing, but it can be a gamble.
Conventional beauty appeals to what people are attracted to. Ex; girls like clean, so guys clean up to impress girls.
Hint: think on a primal level. Instinctively, men want to reproduce just like girls do. Caveman would instinctively seek out a healthy female who could bear healthy children. By the same token, cave woman would seek out "alpha", or a strong cave man who would produce strong cave bb, who could also protect and provide for both.
That's my theory anyway.

Well shitt, best explanation out of all the opinions! Makes 100% sense
dont laugh, and please dont get triggered, im playing with the thought. maybe its because the second one has a more masculin look, the darker and the rougher the lines are the more masculin it seems to be. or, might i rather say less feminin. maybe its the opposite of "tall dark handsome" what most men look for.
I get what your saying. The second picture is a tad leading because of the expression. Look at the eyebrow height. The second one is closer to a scowl and therefore induces avoidance.
If you consider the fact that India and China makeup for about 2.7 billions people plus other Asian countries where people have naturally dark hair, plus Africa where people have dark hair and skin, then more thsn half of the women in this world look masculine. Also, the most beautiful girl i have ever seen, Antonia Iacobescu, has dark hair and tanned skin. The first girl is also bleached blonde. It is the bone structure, proportions and fat distribution that makes a face look feminine or masculine, not the hair/skin color
@emmily2396 Antonia The Romanian singer/model is definitely beautiful but completely and utterly common in Eastern Europe. Lol go to Russia, Croatia, Romania and her look is common.
Girl, I live in Romania, she is anything but common.. she has been declared by many magazines the most beautiful woman in the world and I have seen many people online thinking she the prettiest as well. She also looks better than both of the girls you posted here. Her facial proportions are vlose to perfection and she has beautiful features as well.
If that is average to you then you have a distorted view on what average is like. None of the girls you posted is average by any means, they could be very well models. Someone like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez would be average in eastern Europe.
@emmily2396 That’s completely not true. I travelled and stayed in Eastern European countries over the span on 3 years and can say quite confidently I saw girls as beautiful as Antonia at least a couple times a week. Especially in Russia and Ukraine... there are thousands of girls who have the same pouty lips, blue eyes, brown hair combo like Antonia. She’s beautiful but a complete dime a dozen in Eastern Europe. Americans only think she’s so beautiful because they don’t see the mass amounts of girls who look like her. The average Eastern European girl would be considered “stunning” by American/British standards.
Because the woman number 2 looks fire and most guys are scared of fire. while the first one probs look like their mom (if we are talking about a white boy) and mom is mom she is known territory.
My hair are huge and curly when huge and Curly guys don't give me the time of their day , no one looks at me but if I straight them down the whole borough is on my feet. They don't like fire. Its too scary.

If you mean blondes with blue eyes, it's because this image (blonde with blue eyes) has been promoted and idealized by the media for a long time.. But I would say that the second girl is also convention all attractive
I would say that non-conventionally attractive would be someone like Kristen Ritter from Breaking Bad
Mother nature is the one who gives you the butterflies and what you are attracted to. Don't be fooled.. Mother nature spreads the attractiveness around.. believe me. Everyone has attractive features that will attract someone else.
It all comes down to natural instinct and genetics.
Men are programmed to look for women with features that suggest good health and good genes. It's the same for women. That's why people who have deformations, who look sick and/or who have features closer to the opposite sex are less attractive.
For example, the girl in the second picture has a more defined jawline and straight jawlines, both of which are considered masculine traits. The girl at the top doesn't have such characteristics, but instead has a rounder face and curved jawlines. The second girl's eyes also give off a more stern look due to their shape and position compared to the first girl, which is again considered a masculine trait.
The reason why this affects attractiveness is because it hints at a hormonal disbalance, which is a disorder. It's also why girls who have bodyhair on places where they shouldn't are also considered unattractive, and most girls know that hairiness in such places is one of the possible indicators of PCOS (polycystic ovaries), which is caused by a hormonal disbalance between the levels of testosterone and estrogen in a girl's body.
So the reason is that it all comes down to genetics. Both men and women are attracted to those who display signs of good health and genetics. It's also why we have preferences for certain traits more than others since those traits lack in our genetic code, while we aren't the least bit put off by some generally unattractive traits since the genes causing them are recessive and we have a strong genetic history of the preferable side of that trait.
It also explains why men prefer younger women, since women's egg quality peaks around the ages of 25-30, while men's sperm quality peaks between 30 and 35 (with some studies suggesting it even goes until 40 or starts at 25). And that's also why women generally start feeling the urge and desire to have children earlier than men do.
So yeah, it all comes down to genetics. We don't even realize it, but attractiveness is heavily based on looks because looks reflect our genetic structure. If anyone wants, I can give you more examples to back this claim up, but I think this is enough for most people to understand.
The 2nd girl is not very unique but very conventionally beautiful and looks French or italian. She litteraly ticks every box for a conventional beauty. The first is very basic and being considered a great beauty in the conventional sense requires more than blonde hair and a bucket of make up. Two examples that I would consider as unconventional beauties would be Natalie Dormer who has kinda a funny nose and is often compared to me piggy or Amanda Seigfried who has very funny eyes and is often compared to golum. Both are beauties, when describing someone as unintentionally beautiful it's certain imperfections that make the beauties and attractive.
Nah, they’re both hot and pretty basic in terms of what a hot girl looks like. I think you’re thinking of more exotic looking women, maybe? But being a brunette doesn’t make her a unique beauty by any stretch. Honestly the blonde doesn’t look great in that pic anyways. I see what you’re saying but bad examples.
To answer your question though, there’s a reason it became conventionally attractive. Most guys find something attractive, that’s what makes it conventional. But also to be fair, most men are just attracted to what we’re attracted to, and that’s that. There’s no real rhyme or reason to it.
What I consider most attractive is an honest and responsible woman who won't leave me stood up, won't flake out, and will show genuine interest and concern. I'm more than willing to give it back, provided she doesn't creep me out. And it takes some pretty extreme behavior to do that.
That being said, I do seek out the uniwue and different. As a way of saying that one is mine, and easy to spot aoart from the other ones that are clearly someone else's, so there is no ambiguity and little mistrust.
Most guys go for girl 1 on your list, because she looks easy. They'll use her to get off, but they won't marry her. Girl 2 has a better chance of getting married, for the reasons I've stated.
I don't approve of using Girl 1 in that fashion, but that's what usually happens. She broadcasts herself as a sex toy, whereas the second one has a soul. The expressions give it away.
1. Not everyone on the planet is in the same (conventional) league like these women. We are still approaching 8 billion.
2. Likes on insta are not indicative of reality.
3. The most beautiful women I’ve spoken to was last week. She’s a red head, freckled, amazing eyes and although it sounds like a back handed compliment, she’s real looking. Of course I’m attracted to *insert celeb name* types but it’s not tangible. I would never want to date one of them. Nightmare. I did a personal shop with Jessica Alba in 2011/2012. Yeah she’s naturally beautiful but I remember clicking at that point that “I should be attracted to her but I’m not”. Trust guys find familiarity attractive too. It’s not about plastic smelling foundation and choking perfume and fake eyelashes all the time. It’s about the woman that caused me to stutter without appearing to know how beautiful she is. Loose lip ramble over
LOL, the second girl is wayyyy more attractive. Blonde hair and blue eyes is boring to me because I have strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. But what you have shown as examples are actually both conventionally attractive.
I don't know where you get this from. Honestly the first girl looks kind of... dumb. That's only judging from her facial expression. I am probably wrong. The second girl is my opinion is beautiful. Seriously. Practically everything about her is perfect.

Both of the women pictured are very conventionally attractive women, and I actually find the dark haired one more attractive.
But to your question, "conventionally attractive" essentially just means attractive to most people, which answers why conventionally attractive women are attractive to most men.
To the dufus who says they are conformists, well yeah, they conform to being normal. It's pretty clear that @MarilynMansonsSlvt is not normal, which explains why she'd be butt hurt by all of this.
For the same reason a women is more attracted to muscles, masculine features, 100k+ income, career title such as doctor or lawyer. It's not just what they are it what it says you landed. Society has deemed the top woman more attractive so of course the guy is going to get the top girl if he can.
It’s funny, but I would say these two ARE unique. I suppose I’m just desensitised to it because I have instagram and the conversational type of beauty where I come from, an area populated by middle eastern women, all kind of look like Kim K. They purposely dress like her and apply make up like her and get lip fillers. So from my stand point and my environment, these two girls look really different and natural, but wouldn’t be attractive here.
I know I sound immature and this is probably useless advice but, the first girl kinda looks like a barbie... im not criticizing to harshly I hope, I encourage anyone to go for their own style if thats what they want but don't feel pressured to look anything else then what you want to look like
Honestly, though it's quite embarrassing how many people are shallow and they never look in the mirror and realize they never get the person they think they deserve. If you want someone who looks like a model then you have to look like a model plus live in areas where this person might live. Like major cities then in a small city or the country just saying. Someone who like a model probably live in the city to work as a model or in porn LMAO.
I actually find the brunette much more attractive. It is a bit vague when you say “conventially attractive” because that all depends on what different guys find attractive and what most guys think they are looking for. Unique beauty is a description for every woman on the planet, they each have their own uniqueness that makes them attractive to different guys. It is hard to describe what you call “convential beauty”-
Errrmm... I've lived in nine cities, four continents, and both these women are as conventionally attractive as any model you'll see in your typical women's magazines. I think you have a very different definition of the term "conentionally attractive" than most people.
It's funny cause the second girl definitely counts as conventionally attractive as well.
But to answer your question it's because "unique beauty" is just feel good bullshit. Sure some people might have a thing for "alternative" styles like goths for example, but even then there will be ugly goths and good looking goths. That doesn't change anything.
There's probably some sort of scientific reason, or something. Women are the same way a lot of the time, more woman would find a conventially attractive guy more attractive then a unique looking guy. It probably also has to do with societial and cultural standards as well.
What do you mean by "conventionally attractive"? Never heard that word before. Anyways, personal, I don't like the glamour, I like women who are more genuine. I like to say I'm a Velma person rather than a Daphne person. Besides, I find these women attractive:
But the second woman isn't really facially unique, I believe she is actually more conventionally attractive than the first one. To answer your question probably, since conventional beauty appeals to the most people.
Both of these are too attractive to me because I like my girl to look really unconventional. These women would be too high of maintenance and so I stick to plain to unattractive. You are right why would anyone want the conventional.
Man is attracted to beauty and the better the beauty the more attracted the man. The first girl has fine tuned beauty IE her hair. The second girl has a hard edged IE her hair. That's the only way I know how to explain it. But to put it mildly men attract to beauty and that's the bottom line.
I mean, girl 1 is definitely prettier to me, but she's not necessarily particularly pretty or crazy pretty. Maybe if she smiled more in the shot, it'd be better, but yeah.
But these are both conventionally attractive? 😂 And their facial features are actually astonishingly similar, the only difference is their skin/hair/eye color
You kidding me? I love dark haired women. And yes, I love females who can spark some flare of originality in their looks. To me, beauty is the eye of the beholder and I want to behold all of it.
The majority of men (people) are conventional... The same way some say they want a good woman with this and that qualities until they realise they are not a match themselves to what they desire...
All the guys I've dated liked me better with dark hair and little to no makeup on. I dont wear much to begin with but I have nice skin. I think most guys like the not-fake look better. But only if you're naturally pretty
You are making an assertion here but I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. Also you didn't really define what conventional/unique beauty means. Is it just blonde vs dark hair? That's all I can guess from what you are saying.
Because media promotion, they for the most part only promote women who look like the woman in the first picture. But remember, every guy is different, there are guys who would be willing to date the girl in the second picture.
This is probably me stereotyping, but I've been attracted to blondes with her type of face. She just looks like a gold digging, fake sun tan applying, party girl. She looks cheap to me.
I mean, the latter woman has much sharper features. They're just kind of shrewd and it's a bit hard to look at, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of blondes, but the former woman is just easier to look at overall.
Rubbish, you're just looking for reasons to hate attractive girls. Most of us don't look like that and still get dates plus both girls are gorg, there are different types of beauty.
I find the second woman more attractive. The reason is in the question though, conventionally attractive woman are by definition attractive to the majority of people, either globally or in specific places

Those both seem pretty conventional to me. Although I would have said the first one was definitely less conventional.
The idea of conventional attractiveness is essentially a middle ground with all the main features of all the more specific aesthetics people like. It means that it'll have the most appeal to the most people, but not be perfection for most people. Basically, by trying to appeal to everyone you end up as a ideal to no one.
@burlen "Conventionally attractive" means someone who the majority of the mainstream population would find attractive. For example, most people who are cast as leads in any movie or TV show are "conventionally attractive" with some rare exceptions.
So, a few guys may be into muscular, body-building women - but the majority of people wouldn't find them attractive. The same with obese women. And the same would be true of people "niche" social styles, such as the hyper-religious (think Amish or Orthodox Jew), or alt/punk/goth/emo girls, or hippy/stoner girls. Such girls would not be considered "conventionally attractive."
I’m more attracted by the second girl (the brunette) by far. Maybe it depends on the kind of guy the you are… the classic blonde beauty is indifferent to me, while I admit she is beautiful by any standards. The bruttene is basically the ideal girl I see for a long-term relationship.
Depends on the guy really... I really wanted to post pics of the girls I like (I mean not in a sexual way), but I doubt they'll like it. But they are not your coventational beauty...
Um... Pretty sure BOTH of those girls are conventionally attractive... It's in the face more than the hair and eyes color. You just changed the hair and eyes about color, and the top one has on a little more makeup. Other than that they're the same.
Could you explain for us the meaning of "conventional" and "unique" beauty. Or at least, specify the characteristics of "conventional" beauty and how they differ from "unique" beauty.
"Unique beauty" Lol, unless you live in the freaking Valhalla, the second kind of a woman is going to be far more common than the first one.

lol been and lived most the U. S, London, Australia, NZ, most of Europe and Scandinavian countries and can CONFIDENTLY say that girl 1 look (facial features) is BY FAR more common than the brunette
They both look like conventional beauties, the first one is a bit more made up, the second is more natural. People are attracted to whatever is attractive, conventional or not
Both of those are conventionally attractive. But beyond that, the reason that there is even such a thing as conventional attractiveness is that it indicates good genetics. We’ve sexually selected for a certain set of traits that indicate fertility.
Biological issues the first female has a more perfect symetric that the second and it gives her some advantage but... Biological decisions aren't love decisions so the advantage isn't as great when we talk about falling in love.
Wow... that is so false, the second girl it is just more attractive and seems more intelligent too by the look of her eyes so not sure if you chose the pictures really well, couse I could never actually really ever chose the 1st girl from these 2
Disagree. Women dream up this whole idea of facts about what men want that are horribly inaccurate. Women tell women this stuff men don't say this shit. Itd your Cosmo's and whatever fucking magazine that's just trying to sell you shit.
but her unique looks are conventional. There are guys for example who like women who look rougher with tatoos all over, bigger noses, rougher faces. I don't, but they find them sexy, but that's an example of non conventional looks.
