Supposedly the physical characteristics considered "hot" (clear skin, facial symmetry, good skeletal and muscular development, facial features neither very big nor very small) also indicate relatively good genetics and health. The famous waist to hip ratio in women is another example; low ratios are considered attractive by men pretty much universally, while high ratios (in both men and women) can indicate obesity or a tendency to develop heart disease.

that theory is completely undermined by the transient nature of concepts of beauty throughout history. there certainly wasn't any "universality" until modern media.

If you can find a culture where facial symmetry, clear skin, statistically average facial features, and women with a waist-hip ratio of about .7 are considered unattractive, I'd be interested to know.

There are superficial things that have changed: types of clothes worn, body piercings, tattooing, skin tone (although it's very common for cultures to prefer that women be lighter-skinned, even among those who have had little contact with Westerners), and some less superficial ones like preferences for thinness or fatness. But other things have stayed pretty much the same, as far as I know.

Cultures in colder climates have been known to prefer larger women. Take Mongolia circa 1300, for example. Skinny women would have been considered gross and unhealthy.

It coincides with your statement about evolution determining sexual preference for an area or time period, and also coincides with the fact that there are different strokes for different folks.

Or Europe during the Renaissance, which happened to coincide more or less with the "Little Ice Age":

Just a coincidence? Who knows.

I've been dying to know why I can't get off to fat chicks.
