Two weeks ago, we talked about female beauty standards around the world, so, in the interest of gender equality, let's talk about the boys!

How different are male beauty standards in the East versus the West? And then how does it change when we look at specific countries? What makes a man physically attractive? Big, strong muscles or thin and lean? K-pop boy band style? Or action hero style? Dark skin or light skin? How are these standards different or similar when we compare by culture? By generation? How have they changed over time and why? Would some cultures have more diverse views on male beauty than others? How about men wearing makeup?

Let's dive into male beauty standards around the world, and as we do, let's better understand the cultural reasons for this. Are there any qualities in a man that everyone in the world would find attractive? What do these universally attractive traits really say about what defines attractiveness in a man? There's so much to unpack. Let's have a fun and fascinating discussion!

两周前我们刚聊过世界各地的女性审美标准，这次为了性别平等，来聊聊男生吧！

东方式和西方式的男性审美有多不一样？如果细分到不同国家又会怎么变化？什么样的男人算是“长得好看”？是大块头、肌肉发达那种，还是瘦长精干型？是K-pop男团那挂，还是动作片男主那挂？偏黑一点的皮肤还是白一点的皮肤更吃香？如果按文化、按世代来对比，这些标准又有哪些差别和共同点？它们是怎么慢慢变化的，又是为什么？有些文化里，对男性颜值的看法会不会比其他地方更多元？男生化妆这件事又是怎么被看待的？

这次我们就一起好好聊聊世界各地的男性审美标准，也顺便挖一挖背后不同文化的原因。是不是有一些特质，是放在全世界范围内，大家都会觉得男人身上有就很加分的？这些“全人类都觉得有魅力”的特质，究竟在告诉我们：一个男人的“有魅力”到底是什么？可聊的东西真的很多，一起来来一场又好玩又长见识的讨论吧！
