Beauty Standards of the World

Beauty in countries all over the world differs. An example would be the Kayan tribe located between the border of Thailand and Burma. The women here start brass wearing rings around there necks as early as the age of five. These rings according to the Kayan's measure a women's beauty. As they age the rings around their necks increase which gives them an elongated neck. Also in the middle east beauty is not something of the women. There they are cover from head to toe in black covers called abaya. For them beauty is not something you see but its the thing you don't see. These two views contradicts what the book says about physical attractiveness. When talking about body figure you won't see the women's body figure because it's hard to see what's under the abaya. This contradicts what the book says about how men tend to judge a woman by her body figure. Also the elongated neck is something that is uncommon to the modern world. These sources seem to be inconsistent with what the book says about physical attractiveness.
