A prime example of the "Adam" and "Eve" class respectively.
They've been the prime phenotype of beauty for many decades / centuries.
However, there have been several critiques of this from inside the community, mostly that it is a westernized ideal / beauty is evolving ever-faster.

I would like to present the variety of beauty standards the world has gone through, and how it has diversified so much. I think we should match these and try to create some distinct classes from some of these so we can rate / improve more accurately.

First, the "Old Hollywood Beauty" -
a refined look derived from the gibson girl / traditional ideas of beauty, very focused on bone structure and distinguishing features.
Revived in the modern "European Ideal"

Rugged Masculine - A more "natural" beauty in the sense it shed some of the traditional ideals / refined aspects.
Revived in the modern "Antihero Ideal" e.g. H.Cavill in Witcher

Bombshell - A maternal femininity with full features
1755460184813.jpeg


Pretty Boy - Softer features and an emphasis on youth
1755460376686.jpeg

Supermodel pre-heroin chic. An athletic build with very strong features
1755460302082.jpeg


Waif / Androgyny - Unique / delicate features, but strong facial harmony
1755460498693.jpeg


The F Korean Beauty / SE Asian F Ideal - Glass skin and an emphasis on soft features
1755460587941.webp


The M Korean Beauty / SE Asian M Ideal - soft features, groomed appearance
1755460734620.jpeg


Instagram Model - Dramatic / exaggerated features, less emphasis on facial harmony
1755460655264.jpeg


Latino / SW Europe? - a rugged / groomed blend.

African / Ethnic Ideal in supermodels without fitting into other categories is kind of an appeal to traditional beauty with ethnic features.

Obviously non exhaustive. There is an HM about slavic / Central asian women with a square jaw that have a mix of masc/fem.
Feel free to suggest any taxonomies for how these ideals could fit into each other / be named or anything else. You really can mix and match these to create a ton of specific looks to describe beauty

I really do think an idea of "Global appeal is MTN but [Pretty Boy] appeal is HTN if you worked on . . ." could solve a lot of the shallow ratings / goals people set. It also helps center grooming / fashion suggestions

Excellent thread
 
bump for anyone who wants to talk abt this
 
Just give you MOTM at this point, one of the higher-IQ threads I have seen in a minute. I don't wanna talk about this though because I am not high-IQ enough
