Discussion People say that beauty is subjective and changes over time, but the only thing that really changes is body preference.

I was watching a video about how the beauty standard of what was considered a beautiful female body has changed over the last 100 years.
(Which doesn't really make much difference because it doesn't matter what people thought was beautiful 100 years ago if today there is a standard that won't change no matter how much you complain)

But i've never seen any evidence that face preference changes much.

Never in history has a person with an asymmetrical, disproportionate face, with "traits of mouth breathing" been considered beautiful
There are indeed some ideal skull models that you need to be close to in order to be considered beautiful

If anything “beauty standards” of the past were mostly class differentiators

Beauty is still mostly objective. Landwhales and sub5 will always be considered unattractive.

Pretty much. Gout was considered a good thing as in you were wealthy enough to develop one in the first place

Beauty is 90% objective. Sure, there may be slight variations in what is deemed attractive in different cultures and time periods, but in general, people tend to prefer physical characteristics that indicate health and fertility.

Also, what foids find attractive is far more universal and rigid than what men find attractive.

Idk, artificial cranial deformation was practiced in many cultures in the past and was apparently considered beautiful.
