Excuse me, but it’s Madison Ave. and all those liberals in the advertising business that have pushed the thin blonde standard on us for decades. Remember Twiggy?
Truth is, every culture has it’s beauty standards, including African nations. Most American women are not fat enough to be considered beautiful in Samoa. This article has potentially answered a question for me though.
I had a make-up board on my Pinterest account, just a few pictures on applying eyeliner. Everyday in my email Pinterest sends me stuff they think might interest me. Lately their make-up suggestions have featured black women only, wearing the nuttiest, and ugliest crap I’ve ever seen. The only way I got it to stop was to delete the entire board!

Well, you can say its “Madison Ave” that pushed it. But probably they just leveraged a well-established tendency.

I can’t recall any straight man (of any ethnicity) that does not covet a thin, blonde, blue-eyed woman (TBBEW). It’s just universal. Now that does not mean other women cannot be beautiful (plenty are). But there is just something about a TBBEW that elevates them to the pinnacle of female beauty. Also, they are in relatively short supply.

Which is why so many women color their hair blond (yes, they do).

BTW, as I’ve aged, I’ve grown to appreciate Asian women too. Something I did not do when I was younger.
