There are always nuances that need to be brought up when we consider this conversation, and the people with low IQ think it's some kind of universal picture and one-size-fits-all picture that applies for everything.

When you go to every community, most people prefer their own. That's not fantasy, that's just reality. As much as your preferred picture you put over your head could be true for the community that you come from, it ain't true for others, because other men from that community are the chiefs in dictating what the standards of beauty are in their own clan/tribe / community. America is not as integrated as people think it is, and people do still like their own. Go to a Mexican and ask them if they like barbie over their own women, go to a Black man and ask him if he likes Barbie over his own woman, and majority would say hell to the no. It's nothing personal, it's just that we prefer our own people.

Now where I think you can be accurate is if you say "suburban white America" and the standard would be correct, nobody would have a problem with your statement due to the accuracy of it. Where you decide to fall into the trap is when you think that other non-white men who are also a part of the United States population are going to co-sign your standards and your love for your own women over their own women, that's where you are mistaken my friend. It's crazy the lack of awareness I see with a lot of these folks thinking they own some kind of "prize" only to see them complain about that same prize on the next breath talking about they want to travel to Thailand and get him an Asian chick. That's what I think is comedic about this whole situation, you don't even believe in your standard and it's evidenced by the growing number of Western White American men going overseas to find someone that does not look like a Barbie. You're showing cracks in the armor, but you want other people to believe like you have it all figured out.

I'm going to leave you with some food for thought. White countries on average have the lowest fertility rates, and non-whites in those countries usually have a higher fertility rate on average. If all of the work you do marketing your women was that fruitful, why are they the least likely to reproduce and the most rebellious? Taking pride in what you have means protecting it, and you can't gatekeep and promote at the same time, it's either one or the other. The men of other cultures don't promote their women to strangers, because they understand that's not a game they would like to play. Having those same women as "insta models" being flown over by a rich Shiekh to Dubai and getting shat on by a camel is not a sign of beauty, it's a sign of moral decay. Telling other men that your woman is the most attractive is highlights insecurity, and is lowkey cuck behavior, because while others try to preserve their own you try to promote it.

I think that used to be the typical standard, now everyone want to look like young Kim Kardashian. Obviously lots of people do not fit that standard. That is why we have so much fake chicks getting work done to try and fit some BS standard (fake boobs, fake ass, lip injections). I always was against looking like all these dumb, slutty bitches because it is only for men.. I get no pleasure out of competing against other girls to be the prettiest or sexiest, because at the end of the day we are all gonna get old and look like shit so what is the point? Plus even models have boyfriends who cheat on them so why call attention to yourself just to end up with goofs.. beauty honestly doesn't mean anything it is a fleeting thing.. and you get uglier the more you age regardless of how you try to stop it..

Maybe back when barbie was popular but not anymore. Men now a days only want brunettes with no boobs. Like literally the opposite of barbie

Exterminatore · Answer

Generally speaking yes, it’s probably a standard in the ball park of what the average American probably thinks constitutes beauty. Being thin, long blonde, feminine looking, large breasts, and young. Fairy princesses and other fictional figures have generally long been considered the highest standards of beauty for many. Along with super models.

That is not my standard of beauty. My standard is simply attractive, which is entirely subjective to my personal tastes, regardless of race and at times regardless of age. Brest size is unimportant to me. Weight, meaning obesity is unattractive to me but I do like some girls with meat on them as opposed to the typical standard mentioned above. Too thin is somewhat unattractive to me as is obesity. Hair color is unimportant to me so long as it’s a natural color and shoulder length or longer. feminine in appearance is a must, but I prefer conservative feminine in looks and appearance as opposed to slutty. For me I find girls that are cute (maybe a 7 out of 10) in looks to be more appealing than the typical Marylin Monroe type of blond shell or the super model look.

To further sum it up, I find the girl who played Juno (Ellen Page, despite being more petit) in the film Juno (who is now a tans by the name of Elliot Page) to be a 10 (prior to her transition) as compared to someone like Pamela Anderson in her prime who to me is like a 5. So to me what others typically define as cute is to me hotter than what many people consider hot.

First off, trans women are misogynistic! Imagine a white person dressing in black face when men dress in women face 🤦🏼‍♂️ but I digress lets break this down for you…

You, or anyone that shares your nonsensical and absurd views clearly have no male friends. Or you hang out with the wrong people because I dont know one fucking guy that would disrespect a female in any way shape or form. I've met some during my life, but I dont associate with trash… This ridiculous body image is a result of women’s disdain and jealousy toward each other. Dont get me wrong, there are men that are trash, you, and everyone else should ignore their flawed opinion…

dragoblack · Answer

For the time when barbie was first produced, that was the targeted body type. Nowadays the franchise is reaching for more body types to expand their crowd target. Barbie is still supposed to be an inspiration for little girls to be confident and self-reliant while chasing their dreams & goals. It's why ken is considered her side piece and why barbie was originally put in a husband & wife setup. Nowadays barbie is allowed to be in any kind of relationship the kids want her to be in that way there is a wider audience with little to no lashback from the public. At one point they tried to reach out to adults with more kinkier themed lines

Lol. It just depends. Everyone has their preferences on what they do and don’t like. I don’t think it’s good when women starve themselves are is to obsessed with looking good. But I do agree there are things that are more universally attractive and unattractive

musicbrain5 · Answer

Margot Robbie is pretty but her look in that stupid movie is definitely not how I want to look. Fake as hell.

LiamJHayden · Answer

No, she would be absurd. If Barbie were an actual women she would be 5'9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips, weigh about 110, and wear a size 3 shoe.

Anonymous · Answer

It is but it shouldn’t be. But I do think the movie is very positive about feminine empowerment and body image, plus the toy manufacturers have done a lot toward Barbie diversity.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

Not anymore tbh. I feel like blonde hair, blue eyes, and a stick thin figure was what was “trending” in the early 2000s. But now darker features and curvier bodies are considered more popular.

However y2k is really in right now. And I think the whole “bbl body” trend is starting to fade out and slimmer bodies are becoming more desirable again.

RealMarek · Answer

Lizzo is the new elite-approved standard of beauty for the plebs.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not at all. I don't tend to look at actors or models for the standard of beauty. Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, just like paintings and sculptures.

RingOfFire · Answer

I would say yes in spite of the enormous attempt to politically intimidate anyone who says so. It is surprising that this ideal has survived since I was a child and little girls also loved Barbie then and aspired to look like her.

There is clearly some kind of instinct that makes girls aspire to this look that has allowed it to survive the assault from those who want to force their culture on everyone else.

Sasha0426 · Answer

I mean….. I was born with blonde hair and blue eyes. I can’t help with that since those are natural for me 😅

Well, when I go shopping I see at least 5 really bombastic girls who would fit better into Barbie role than Margot.

I'm a straight white male and that bitch is not a thing of beauty to me. I'd rather be happy with a skinny Thai chick with no hips that's just happy I brought home some chicken and vodka.

Anonymous · Answer

It is one of the standards. Before, im sure it was the only standard of beauty, it still exists now of course but the standards of beauty i think have been more open. Pretty women with dark hair and dark eyes are appreciated as well. Sadly some women think just because they are blonde and have blue eyes they are it, when overall theyre not really close to being pretty.. its not about the stereotypes but its about the features and how a woman looks overall.

bingbongbangbung · Answer

Her lips and forehead are too wide, her jawline is too blocky, and her skin is a bit rough, so I'd have to say no

The actress as all pretty actresses and models who grace our media…yes.

That’s why I’m pro body positivity. Even though we have an obesity crisis. But feeling positive instead of shamed will get people healthier faster.
