white women peak in high school. they then hit a fast decline after 25.

More like 21. By 30, they're trying very hard to maintain their youthfulness.

They think that certain women experienced great reproductive success based on their exotic looks, and this spread those exotic looks across the continent of Europe. Losers did not get represented in subsequent generations.

So, you or this biologist are saying that only white women have a variety of physical appearances within the race? All Asian women look alike.. all black women look alike, etc..? So, there are no variations among those women?

Well there aren't the variations you find among white women. Black women are all born with the same color hair and same with asians.
White women are redheads, blonde and brunette. Green, blue or brown eyes.

Please discuss.

they smell better

I don't think this is true. Perhaps it was during Marilyn Monroe's time but glamour and Hollywood probably had a lot to do with that too. I think if I had to pick one country with the most beautiful women recognized globally, it would have to be Brazil.

Off the top of my head I think these women are better examples of beautiful women these days:

Gal Gadot
Olivia Munn
Miranda Kerr
Kristin Kreuk
Lupita Nyongo

Cuz we find a woman beautiful if she looks wealthy. Someday Chinese women will be the avatars of beauty.

I am so fucking over it. We get it. White = BAD
Non-White = GOOD

Message heard, loud and clear.

+1. This is just fodder for the "white women look like old hags after 30" poster.

I'm white (Italian) and 45 years old. I have no wrinkles, so suck it!

Sorry, but Sophia Loren makes both of them look like ugly ducklings.

Is that why white women tan so much and get lip injections for fuller lips and butt implants for a thicker rear and wear mascara to make their eyelashes darker?

Seems they're the ones trying to have more ethnic features....

Very few white women do this. Dream on, sister.

Now if you could figure out how to give white women the uttterly unwrinkled, unblemished skin that middle age black women have, I'd pay a LOT Of money for it.

And some middle aged black women probably wish they had the thinner figures that some middle aged white women have.

There are of course exceptions, but being "thin" is not really a desirable attribute for most AA woman. I really don't think most black middle-aged women are looking to their white counterparts for their aesthetic goals. Many I know (mostly well-educated, middle/upper middle class) exercise and try to maintain a healthy diet, but "thin" is not the goal.

I say this as a black woman who is a size 0-2. My husband is black, but luckily likes petite women.

Ladies, having studied the very diverse crowd of women in my social circle, I can proclaim that race has little to do with how attractive you are or how well you age. It's all the random pick of non-racially-specific genetics, alas.

I'm white and I really wish this was the case for us. There is so much pressure for UMC white women to be stick thin, even in middle age when being that thin actually makes you look older in the face.

Loren puts many women to shame. She's 82 and states she's never had plastic surgery.

“It’s your choice,” she said. “It’s person’s choice to be terribly thin. Or maybe because you’re intimidated, you don’t like yourself or you want to be different. I don’t know. I like myself as I am,” she said.

She also says she hasn’t worried about getting older.

“You have to follow the laws of life,” she said, but she noted that the choice to have plastic surgery is a very personal one that each actress must make on her own.

“I like myself,” she said. “I like my skin. I don’t want anybody to take it away from me. So I couldn’t do anything, really. But if it becomes a problem, it’s up to you."

Sorry
. But the Black women I know are not looking to acquire a long back held up by chicken thighs, with two plastic almond joy mounds. To each his own.

Yes, having that Black Moor/African blood running through your veins helps tremendously.
