What's yor idea of an attractive person? Someone with long? flowing hair? Or someone with a perfectly smooth, hairless head? Do u find pierced ears attractive? What about pierced noses? If u ask 10 people these questions, u could get 10 different answers.
The idea of beauty varies a lot from person to person and even more so, from societ to society. the male Kayapo Indians from the Amazon have their lower lips stretched. they have a round plate fitted inside. This may seem horrible to u but to the Kayapo it is a sign of beauty.
The search for beauty is not a modern phenomenon. In ancient Egypt people had their nails, palms and soles of their feet stained with henna, a red vegetable dye. Women had their skin lightened with ochre, a reddish-yellow coloring. Both men and women used to line eyes heavily with a blac powder called kohl.
We may disagree on what is beautiful but that makes the world a more interesting place. Variety, after all, is the spice of life...
And what's YOUR idea of an attractive person?
