The most unusual beauty standards from around the world

Probably, many will agree that the beauty – relative concept. And if, for example,   we can accept its European canons with understanding (they have long been invented and, moreover, they have been set a corresponding price), then with other states everything may turn out to be completely different. Often, the parameters that measure beauty in other cultures make us forget about ideals and return to reality. Paying attention to these rather strange requirements, it becomes clear how different people are. In general, no one's appearance can be the "crown of creation"; and to be to the liking of everyone in the world without exception, because every nation has its own concepts on this matter. Our portal will tell you what are the parameters of the standard of attractiveness in different parts of our planet.

Strange beauty standards from around the world

When we say: that person – beautiful, and this – no, we are often guided in our assessments either by fashionable canons or by the natural attractiveness and charisma of a person. It's all right.

Everyone measures beauty in their own way and largely thanks to the culture of the country of which they are a part.

It is worth noting that in many cases being beautiful is dangerous to health.   

Mauritania

In this country, a woman cannot be called beautiful if she cannot boast of her magnificent forms – and even oversized. There is a tradition here: caring parents give their young daughters (from about 5 years of age) to special farms, where they are intensively fattened with high-calorie foods. In order for girls to reach a size popular in society by a certain age, the total number of calories on their menu can reach up to 16,000 per day. diseases associated with extra pounds. But you can't argue with traditions: obesity in this country – evidence of wealth (since a person can afford to eat more than required), prosperity and,

Japan

In the West, people spend a lot of money to get straight, snow-white teeth and put on braces. But in Japan, on the contrary, by all means they strive to distort the front teeth, resorting to a special, rather expensive, operation. Local men have the image of a girl with irregularly shaped teeth – fetish; such piquancy is considered very sexy and is always associated with youth (by analogy with weak

milk teeth).

China

Today, this Chinese tradition, originating in the tenth century. and associated with the ideas of beauty, has practically sunk into oblivion, but it existed back in the 40s of the twentieth century. We are talking about the custom of bandaging the legs of girls, starting from the age of 5. By about the age of 10, their feet took on a peculiar shape (this was called "lotus feet") and remained tiny in size. Although the name sounds very poetic, the procedure itself (the legs were bandaged very tightly) and its consequences (the foot was severely deformed) were incredibly painful. But such legs were considered in China as an indicator of female beauty and status in society, which increased the chances of a successful marriage. It was not easy for Chinese ladies with deformed feet to maintain balance and stand up from a sitting position, and the gait became mincing at the same time.

Myanmar

The main attribute of rare female beauty here – a long neck and the longer this part of the body, the more beautiful the lady is considered. Since childhood (starting from the age of 5), local girls have been artificially stretching their necks with the help of brass rings, the number of which increases every couple of years. Mature ladies can have up to 30 such rings on their necks & nbsp; weighing about 10 kg. If a woman is convicted of adultery, she must be punished: these neck "bracelets" are removed from her. And since over the years the constantly supported muscles of the neck become weak, the beauty is forced to spend the rest of the years being chained to the bed.

Our planet is huge, and the people who inhabit it are really different.  That is why many canons of attractiveness and its attributes (sizes, accessories, shapes) are often able to frighten and are poorly explained logically.

But the given standards of beauty once again confirm: she – in the eye of the beholder. 

Are you worried about your appearance? Should not be doing that. We dare to assure you: somewhere and for someone, it is your unique image that can become the standard of beauty.
