[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White women have a hard time with middle eastern and south asian beauties - witness all the hate for Huma Abedin, Amal Clooney, Priyanka Chopra, etc...

Racism? Jealousy? I'm not sure.[/quote]

People don’t like Amal the same reason they don’t like SJP (long midface). There’s this trend that favors shorter faces (which I personally don’t get, but it’s what it is).
As far as I know Chopra is adored by all. [/quote]

Yes, people are weird about the long nose and planes on the sides of the face (which in Amal's case are under stunning cheekbones). I think it has to do with beauty standards currently that favor women who look like children (gross) and people perceive these features as "masculine" even though this is actually classical features in art that would be favored in women and men.

I think Amal is beautiful and SJP is striking (the rest of her features are not as beautiful and expressive as Amal's). But many people prefer a rounder, more childlike face on even a middle aged woman (think Salma Hayek, or Reese Witherspoon). It's interesting to me.[/quote]

Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout, Willis? Classical features in art? Whose? Picasso’s? Look at Da Vinci, Fra Lippo Lippi, Tintoretto, Titian, Rubens, etc. The women in their art all have roundish faces. The only artists I can think of who had women with long faces were Botticelli and El Greco (and their figures were all elongated on purpose to make their work unique).

As for Amal and SJP, they look horsey and angular, not masculine. Likewise, having a round faces doesn’t make you childlike. It just makes you soft. I prefer roundish or oval faces on women, most people do, but it’s always been like that. It’s not a new found societal standard.[/quote]

This. Someone with a huge honkin’ nose, horse face, and a complex is posting this nonsense.
Girl… it’s ok you got a big snozz, but we ain’t rewriting history for it. [/quote]

You're allowed to have preferences, definitely, but there are objective beauty measures too.
Beauty isn't necessarily about features in isolation, it's about facial symmetry/harmony. It's why fixing one "bad" feature doesn't necessarily make you beautiful, and in some cases, can make you look worse.

Amal's nose is harmonious with her face: her eyes are relatively large, she has a wider jaw (which balances the vertical length) and her eyes are far apart. Same with Julia Roberts, whom many find beautiful. With SJP, there's a lack of harmony, and the small, close-set eyes really emphasize the length of her face.
