10 of the most shocking trends of beauty in different countries

As they say, beauty - in the eyes of the beholder. Depending on the country, the standards of beauty can be very different. For example, in the US people like it when they have perfectly smooth teeth, while in Japan, crooked teeth are beautiful. Needless to say, some items on this list may seem slightly crazy to you, but do not forget to always respect other people and their culture. After all, for them you can also look like a clown!

Now let's pay attention to some unusual things that people from different countries of the world find attractive and sexy.

Crooked teeth, Japan

As previously mentioned, in Western culture people like smooth and beautiful white teeth. But, unlike us, many Europeans, the Japanese love their crooked teeth. It is for this reason that dentists in Japan are in great demand now. You can not say how much their services cost.

Skin scarification, West Africa, New Guinea

In several communities in New Guinea and in some African countries there are still people who decorate their bodies with scars. Men receive these scars during the initiation ceremony, no matter what it may entail, and women do these "tattoos" only as a sign of their unique beauty. Yeah, really the concept of beauty is different for everyone.

Heart-shaped face shape, South Korea

The least disturbing tendency of beauty in this list is the heart-shaped form of the face. Who would not want to look beautiful? In South Korea, plastic surgery is quite common, and this operation to change the shape of the face is completely normal. It's the same thing that we go to the store for a new pair of jeans. That's just it concerns the change in appearance, and forever. The operation often involves breaking the jaw bones into 3 smaller pieces, removing the central part and merging the other two parts to create a pointed chin. The only drawback of this operation is that you can not eat solid food for some time. According to women, it's worth it!

Overweight, Mauritania

If you are trying to seduce a Mauritanian, then you need a large and sagging belly. What's even more horrible and strange is that parents send their daughters to special "farms" where they can consume up to 16,000 calories a day! Yes, we also have this trend, it's called "grandma's house". Of course, where there is excessive food, there are also stomach diseases, so this is not worth it.

Surgical dressings on face, Iran

Apparently, the Iranians do not like their nose too much, as they are willing to pay any price for getting a new nose with rhinoplasty. But this is not the strangest part. Recently, people began to wear plaster surgical dressings on the nose to show everyone that they are rich enough and can change the shape of the nose, although in fact they did not have any surgery. Crazy Iranians!

Pale skin, China, Thailand

Pale skin was a hallmark of the European aristocracy. It turns out that in many parts of Asia pale skin is also considered to be the highest standard of beauty. The pale you are, the more attractive in the eyes of others!

High forehead, people of Fulani

Although it is not very widespread, but still if you are a representative of this people and you have a high forehead, then you are really beautiful. In the African tribe of Fula, such a forehead is the most important attribute for a woman. Some of the fairer sexes even cut their hair to make their forehead look bigger. Oh, and yet - a similar custom was observed in medieval Europe. And which forehead do you have?

Long Neck, Burma

Perhaps you have seen this trend of beauty in the news or in the movies. This is the "suffering" of the inhabitants of East Burma, where women wear copper rings around their necks. The longer the neck, the more beautiful the woman looks, or at least this is what the people of Burma believe.

Stretched lips, people from the Mursi tribe

One of the strangest phenomena that simply does not fit into our heads is people with "plates" in their lips. In the Ethiopian tribe of Mursi, the girls stretch the lower lip with special disks. The size of this disc determines the social status of the girl, as well as the dowry, which must be paid before marriage. No one knows exactly why Mursi do this, but, according to one theory, they must keep their women from slavery.

Eyebrows, Tajikistan

In Tajikistan, it is very important for a girl to have thick and thick eyebrows, as this is considered a sign of real female beauty! People here believe that one big eyebrow (when they grow together in the bridge of the nose) is an indicator of great luck.

All these traditions and features may seem to some of us to be ordinary, while others may find them rather disgusting. But if you look at what is happening on certain sites, you will realize that we are just as weird with all kinds of common fetishes.

So, knowing all this, try to be respectful, do not be rude to other people because they do not look like you or like you would like.
