Where did the beauty standards are subjective cope come from? There are no recessed and dysgenic looking people depicted in ancient sculptures at least as heroic figures.

people want their respected figures to look pretty? I guess lenin was a balding jew
or some random roman senator being an old guy if you really meant ancient by ancient

The point is that there is objective attractiveness, inherent attractiveness biologically, not culturally.

my internet now, boy
anyway the expression "beauty standards" by itself implies some reference of what is beautiful
question means less and less the more I think about it
>>
>>83672345
>objective
>biologically
>not culturally
maybe, but what does it change, considering that you can't rip the culture out of anyone?
>>
>>83672215
High cheekbones, forwards grown face, straight nose, highly defined jaw, these are the main things.

>>83672215
like >>83672251 anon said, it's just a cope for modern folks to feel better about themselves
We've always been part of the peasantry, anons
And peasants are almost always ugly-looking folks

is this another attempt of throwing around vague theories about past to feel the quick pleasure of self-pity?
I give bonus points for the "sad but true" sentiment

>>83672554
>self pity
what? I'm not ugly, my dude I just look like my parents
and if they managed to bang then I've got a chance

under the assumption that you're the "almost" in "almost always", nothing really changes
dramatic narrations, all of that, truth is only the plot device

beauty standards ARE subjective. women today probably wouldn't find these maya guys attractive.
but that doesn't mean there aren't certain traits that are universally attractive

clear skin and symmetrical features are desired everywhere
>>
>>83673312
beauty standards being different for people of different ancestry doesn't make them subjective.
>>
>>83672215
>Where did the beauty standards are subjective cope come from?
Beauty standards are subjective, and they're created by influential perverts.
>>
>>83673325
is that not what subjective means or am i misunderstanding the word
>>
>>83672215
>Where did the beauty standards are subjective cope come from?
it comes from specific standards that existed for specific features. like in modern society big asses are seen as erotic where skinny, nubile women were more favorable 100 years ago.
corsetage or circumcision are another good example of unnatural socially enforced beauty standards.
>>
>>83673312
We don't know what attractive maya men looked like. Those are creations by hollywood jews. Regardless we know that like in every culture they had strong facial bone development.
>>
>>83673339
honestly, treat "subjective" as "mentally conditioned"
considering that this is /r9k/, people usually talk about it to explain why they undeservingly suffer because chin is too narrow o algo

The majority of early renaissance and medieval art featured recessed and dysgenic looking people.

Albert Durer based his drawings more on real people instead of ideals
>>
>>83674218
There are no depictions of Adam and Eve that were supposed to be something other than ideals.
>>
>>83672215
The 230BC one was not supposed to be "good looking" by the way, he's supposed to be purposely disheveled because he's a germanic barbarian, who were enemies of the Greeks
>>
>>83674302
He may be disheveled but he was still meant to show a proud warrior dying, a masculine guy.

The Insubres and the Boii wore trousers and light cloaks, but the Gaesatae, in their love of glory and defiant spirit, had thrown off their garments and taken up their position in front of the whole army naked and wearing nothing but their arms... The appearance of these naked warriors was a terrifying spectacle, for they were all men of splendid physique and in the prime of life.

PSL simplified the entire world, politics and history for me
it's literally just about having a well developed facial structure, that's the only thing that really matters for a human being
>>
>>83674352
the life of a germanic warrior back then must have been absolutely peak
they were relatively tall for the era (5'9 average) and could just go around fucking stacys and fighting romans for their whole lives, dying gloriously in battle and meeting their germanic gods

what a shit life we live in comparison
>>
>>83674302
Greek sculptures are intentionally idealized figures. They're not realistic depictions of people the way Roman sculptures are. Greeks and Romans both idealized and glorified their enemies and made them out to be gigachads, because you look better when you defeat an objectively prime and ideal specimen than you do when you defeat an ugly dysgenic worm person. All the Trojans in the Illiad were made out to be gigachads.

Theyre cool theyre really toned down, theyre really easy to appreciate in person, modern art is better online and in print
