outlier -> One Woman Made "Beautiful" by 18 Countries (8/17/2015 9:34:04 AM)
This is an interesting experiment. In no way can it be considered scientific, but it might be worthy of comment. One woman's photo of herself in underwear sent to freelance designers in 18 different countries with the following instructions: "Photoshop her form. The idea is to Photoshop and retouch this woman to make her more attractive to the citizens of your country. We are looking to explore how perceptions of beauty change across the world. Multiple designers are involved. You can modify clothing, but her form must be visible. No nudity. All other changes, including those to her shape and form, are up to you." We focused on female designers, as we wanted a woman’s view of what her culture finds attractive and to understand more about the pressures they face,” the project says. Here are the Photoshopped images that were sent back: http://petapixel.com/2015/08/15/one-woman-photoshopped-by-18-countries-beauty-standards-revealed/

That was interesting. I liked the boots from the netherlands and got the urge to call 911 for the poor girl in china's photo.

Imo, men in the US (ones that i have met/talked to) want a skinnier woman than the US pic..

> We focused on female designers, as we wanted a woman’s view of what her culture finds attractive Attractive to who? In my experience, women try to impress other women, not men. At least that's my explanation for fugly clothes, ridiculous shoes, ugly hairstyles, clown makeup, and insecticide-based perfumes.

Anyone else notice that china was the only one that tried to fix her face... that was the only one that looked decent to me, usa looked like a cartoon and most looked like they went crazy with spray tan. It looked to me like china was the only one that actually tried to make her look better and the rest just threw out a quick hack job they thought would be politically acceptable.
