Prolonged staring at ones face in the mirror will have a negative effect on self image analogous to the way repeating a word many times causes it to lose its meaning. Speculation has the latin word for mirror (specularis) in it because staring in the mirror has a long history in meditation. Very prolonged staring into the miror is regarded by psychiatrists as ominous; it often presages schizophrenia. I doubt mirrors brought about any real change. I think women assessed their own relative attractiveness as they had always done, by noticing how others treated them compared to others rather by than such an objective method as a mirror.
However the modern age of mass media images in conjunction with mirrors may well have changed how women percieve their relative atractiveness.
I care because it scares the shit out of any straight man when someone claims that all the women he has been attracted to his whole life are "masculine" or manly. Like Cindy Crawford. I always thought she was really hot! Even after you sent me that picture of her supposedly "manly" face, I was still attracted to her! Is something wrong with me? So please understand that I will naturally get very defensive and try to argue with you. It's very hard to argue with you by the way. You are very intelligent and you know how to make a good point. I still don't agree with you 100% on everything. I also still think you should present your work in a little bit of a different manner. I still wonder... why spend so much time on a website like this? Just out of curiousity what does this have to do with you? Is it just a hobby? I mean I go on here because a while ago I accidentally found it, I don't even remember how. Anyways, I looked at it and it scared me because it seems I find the masculine and feminine women very attractive. That made me angry because in an indirect way it seemed to suggest to me that I am attracted to masculinity. That's hard on a guy. Oh, and I appreciate your link to the Disney Land website, but I'm a little too old for it thank you!
The author writes that Jennifer Connnelly is not feminine. Please explain. As she has lost weight with age, she certainly looks less feminine, but please explain how a younger Connelly is not feminine.
you do realize that your belly button depends on how they cut the chord when you were a baby, tied it up, etc? right? now I know your going insane. Belly buttons? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha ha ha ha
I must admit that there are some beautiful Nordic women just like there are beautiful women in every culture. An example:Charlize Theron http://images.askmen.com/galleries/celeb-profiles-model/charlize-theron/pictures/charlize-theron-picture-6.jpg
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL FACE! However, I have seen faces just as feminine and beautiful in other cultures. Take a look at her body. Note: This is the typical Nordic body. Long, lanky, thin, small breasts and buttocks.
Go study some anthropology. The Nordic bone structure is discussed in many places. Charlize Theron is like the poster child for your usual tall, blonde, blue eyed Nordic woman.
I'm sorry I just fail to see why most people prefer the "Nordic" nose. Her nose is too thin. Not to mention her face is too thin to be desirable and I see this trend in most nordic women. Her eyes are strange and cold. I was never a fan of blue eyes. They always looked a bit unhealthy to me. Lack of color in my opinion is least attractive in Nordic women. The light hair is alright, but it comes with light eyelashes and eyebrows. Darker eyebrows and eyelashes seem more "fertile" to me. Their lips are often too thin. From my experience they age badly. This is not to say all white European women age badly. Being myself white, I admit I am attracted to white women and they are my preference. I have traveled throughout Europe and I realized I prefer Polish or Czech women. They take care of themselves but they also have the facial bone structure and body structure to be attractive even if they don't take care of themselves. They too often have blonde hair, but I like it on them. They often have light eyes as well but they are never quite gray/light blue and often have more color in them.
Now Kim Kardashian is not my ideal woman. I am not a fan of the "exotic" dark hair and eyes etc. I think it is overdone and never was really attracted to women like this. However, I like her tan and if she was one or two shades lighter at least hair wise I would find her most attractive. Here is a picture of Kim at a very young age.
Now, here she is in her twenties. She developed to become a bit more mascunilized as most women do as they develop and later start to age. Her nose becomes thinner but notice still that her nose still appears a bit wider and youthful than your typical nordic nose. Although it is long it is still more desirable and softer looking.
I could not find a good picture of her sister Kourtney, but Kourtney has a nice nose as well.
Kate Winslet in my opinion is very feminine and beautiful. She has an extremely attractive nose. However, this is not within the European norms. Neither are her lips or far set eyes.
Britney Spears also has a nice nose and eye area. She is not within normal European norms either even though she too is technically English as are most Americans that originate from her home state.
I notice most "Nordic" celebrities express the desired nordic features but never to the Nordic "norms". It is interesting. The ideal "Nordics" people see in the media are never really how normal Nordics look is it?
Sorry, when I say European norms in the above posts I mean NORTHERN European norms. Also, to the person who posted about Charlize Theron you are wrong. She is not the poster child for Northern European women. You should go study some anthropology because you have no idea what you are talking about. Charlize Theron is of French and German decent. She is not 100% Nordic. Her French features are clear. Her face is rounder and this is not common among Nordic women. They tend to have more elongated faces as the woman above. Her nose is not as well defined as a Nordics person and her lips are not as thin. She is not the poster child for Nordic women.
personally not digging the jawline. Her soft curls are def. making her look more feminine than she really is I assure you. Do you have any other pics of this? I am sure if she puts her hair up the masculinization will come into focus.
Someone complained that I used the same pictures of Swedish women so I looked for new pictures in order to illustrate the Nordic look. It's not as easy to find pictures of Nordic women. Nordic girls don't use the internet for the same purpose that the Eastern Europeans do.
The internet is flooded with photos of Eastern European women promoting themselves. Some are looking for husbands abroad, some are scammers looking to trick Western men out of their money - a huge criminal industry, and then we have the enormous porn- and nude industry that often uses Eastern European girls who are more willing.
I looked into the myth of the great beauty of the Czech women. These women ON AVERAGE don't come anywhere near the standard of beauty we see in Nordic countries. The Czech women who look good are almost always NORDIC-looking - not Eastern European-looking. There has been a vast influx of GERMANIC BLOOD in the Czech Republic in ancient times. That greatly approved their looks, even though the beauty AVERAGE is not as high as in Nordic countries. Czech women often have unappealing slavic traits that drag the general impression down regarding the Czech Republic. You will certainly find beautiful women there but the statistical average will be lower.
Here are pictures of CZECH people;
Eastern Europeans often have VERY bad teeth. Many don't smile in pictures.
Very pretty Eastern European girl. She doesn't have many slavic traits, although she has a hooked nose. Her Nordic traits greatly contribute to her looks.
Typical face of a slavic-looking Czech female.
Czech woman with a chin that is much too small. Due to their round or square face shapes Eastern Europeans very often have very weak, even non-existing, chins.
Here is the roundest face I have ever seen. It is a perfect ball shape without any chin. An extreme example of the slavic round face.
In contrast, an oval/ long face of a Nordic woman with a well-defined chin.
Czech woman with weak chin. Eastern Europeans often have a strange greyish-greenish-yellowish skin colour. Very odd. MANY Eastern Europeans seem to have this unappealing skin color. I have no idea why but it's clearly a common feature.
Here are some photos of SWEDISH women;
The girl on the right is ethnically Swedish. The other one is probably Eastern European.
Have you ever been to Eastern Europe? If you haven't then shut up.
Why? Because I have seen Eastern Europe first hand. Children as young as four digging holes in the dirt to sleep in at night is not an exaggaration. It is a reality. How does it keep them warm and sheltered? My for someone who writes so well and seems so educated you have little common sense. Digging a hole in the dirt prevents the wind from blowing on the children. As you know wind can make everything a lot colder. Therefore they are warm,and they do not get wind burn. Of course you would't know this because you have never been in that situation. Instead you type away the suffering many Eastern Europeans go through as if it was hardly a matter even worth looking at. "They are fine" is what you want to convince me of. When you get your ass off your warm chair and sleep outside in a hole for one night, then you can talk.
It's just the gypsies you say. So what? Are gyspies not human beings as well? What does it matter who it is? What race or ethnicity or culture they have? They are human beings. You treat your dog better than they are treated. Another point about Eastern Europe. Sex trafficking is huge there. Do you know who is the #1 customer for underage poor girls that are kidnapped off the streets? English and German men.
For your information IT IS NOT just the gypsies. Condoms and birth control were widely prohibited in the communist countries when communism was still inact. People did not have access to this and in turn had children they could not take care of. Those are the children that live on the streets today. Most of them are grown or dead now, but the cycle continues either way.
Please don't try to lighten any situation unless you have been in it yourself. I am sure you would have a different view on these issues if you have lived them yourself.
No one has suggest Nordics had a monopoly on beauty?
The what do you call Emily?
What the hell? don't waste my time. Your arguments are pointless.
Why don't you seriously go and volunteer somewhere.
You claim, "to indulge one's sense of moral self-satisfaction "
What do you mean? You think I only do charity work to make myself feel better about myself at night? I am not bringing politics into this, you have suggested politics. I am bringing a perspective about HUMANITY into this! I believe that human beings are stupid. Instead of working together we fight each other. Who cares if one race is prettier, the other smarter, the other more athletic? I say that we take everyone's strengths and weaknesses and build this world up and change it!
"Some women are naturally very thin. Why should they be legislatively deprived of an opportunity to model? A system can be worked out where the burden of proof is on the fashion industry to show that models employed by it are not starving themselves to maintain their jobs. This can be achieved by random physiological testing of fashion models, at the industry’s expense, especially in the neighborhood of Fashion Week. "
To me, those testings sound like something similar to the sports industry self-regulating its players. I just don't believe it would work. Yes, there are some - very few - naturally anorexic-looking women. They are very few, surely, and would also have to be up to the standards in the beauty department.
The truth is that when you see a top athlete today he or she is more than likely on steroids, and the truth is that anorexic models are almost never "naturally" that thin since they have to meet beauty standards as well as the anorexic standard homosexual fashion designers have decided on.
They take drugs to not feel hunger, drugs so they can stay awake, and they abuse their bodies in countless ways so they can meet woman-hating homosexual designers' demands.
When you legislate you cannot take into account the interests of just one or two women in many thousands of other women. If legislation would mean that some woman might not be able to model unless she gains a little weight, so be it.
Protecting thousands of women in the fashion industry, who today abuse their bodies so they can stand a fair chance of getting work, is more important to me. Legislation always primarily takes into account the interest of the vast majority. That's how it works. There will always be a few exceptions who get a raw deal in all types of legislations.
"Some people also push for the silly requirement that the models need to be 16 and up, silly in light of the gay fashion designers’ preferences. Concentrating on models between the ages of 12-16 would afford a better opportunity to come across girls who look more like boys in their early adolescence and are naturally very thin. Whereas an objection to this may be the negative impact it will have on some impressionable girls, the right education – why are high-fashion models typically very thin? – will take care of the problem in most girls."
If there were laws that regulated the industry's use of runway models for showing clothes for adult women - that they cannot be under 18, and that they cannot be under a certain weight - this would force the designers to use more mature and feminine women. Using kids who are androgenous since they are not mature sexually yet would become impossible, at least. I think it would be worth testing this since the industry has shown a total lack of interest in self-regulation in spite of hard criticism.
The right education? I think most teenagers couldn't care less about adults educating them about their teen culture. Adults and parents are hopeless nerds who don't understand anything. Most teens would see it that way. They wouldn't listen.
As long as only anorexic very young girls are used for modeling they will continue to be the norm and the standard that teens admire and try to emulate, I think. Even adult women often see them as rolemodels. How could we expect children to do otherwise when grown women are as impressionable as they are many times?
Interesting how she replaces a woman that is more volouptous ( I'd call her fat though) with a "less impressive face". Because the other woman had a smoother more feminine face. While this woman has a more masculine face, with higher cheekbones (or so they appear that way. My cheekbones are low but they are very full and sometimes appear high) and an overall more masculine face shape. I think she is beautiful however.
lol the picture of the first woman that you compare her to, the one with the fur coat thing, I literally thought she was a man at first! Seriously, that is not a woman! You do have a point: fashion models are very masculine. But not all, and they get less masculine as you move away from "high" fashion.
#1 and #8 would look really nice with a brazilian wax
Erik,
THis is kind of off topic for this article

Look at her jawline at the side in comparison to the other one as well. More masculine. Beautiful? Yes.
lol the picture of the first woman that you compare her to, the one with the fur coat thing, I literally thought she was a man at first! Seriously, that is not a woman! You do have a point: fashion models are very masculine. But not all, and they get less masculine as you move away from "high" fashion.
