Women of Thailand used to wear rings on their neck. Every year they would add one more ring. The longer the neck - the better. Dark skin was something what women use to wear proudly. Nowadays it’s not something popular for teenage girls and young adults. Of course, long neck is still something that considered to be beautiful, but without any rings around it. Western look became very popular as well. Very pale and glowy skin is a main goal for Thai girls and represents that woman is healthy. Bright makeup with focus on eyes used for an “every day” look. Very popular to have fake bold eyelashes.

This means that her chest should be slightly smaller then her butt, but bigger then her waist. Her skin tone should be dark. In case of hair girls usually have a straight shiny black hair, but curls are also accepted. On TV you can often see an exaggerated version of traditional beauty standards. Big curves and a lot of fake tan (they call it bronzed body) is one of the main requirements for beautiful women. Many of Brazilian beauties have a big breasts and very muscular body. If a girl want to be called not just attractive but beautiful over there, she should have a sport body type with muscular long legs and big butt. It’s an unrealistic standard, and thats why a lot of women going under the knife to get butt and breast implants. Also, you can often see a host with very light skin tone. Many Brazilian women will define their skin tone as a brown-black, but on TV you will see just white-brown hosts.

Girls over there forced to eat more than they can, so they gain weight. For people of this culture the bigger the girl - the better. Women often get to eat ore than men.
