He already made a video about breaking down the whole biological beauty of women, but if you want cultural then he talks briefly in many other videos each one of the 3 most "famous races", I guess that's what you'd call? Idk lol, but just search and you'll easily find them
@@Laura-dn1zx i think ive seen that one, but i mean more in the sense of how each race - especially if in their native countries - view femininity because the feminine ideals he describes tend to be very western/white, so i'd be interested in knowing how femininity and estrogen manifests in different races
@@universalsubliminals1174 oh I understand. That's probably gonna be hard because it's really specific, and if he talks about the biggest countries like USA and Brazil where it's basically a melting pot of races, it's gonna be pretty hard 😂. But hey, it's really easy to find other channels that talk about that and have good quality videos. This morning I was actually watching one about Korea, lol
yeah i agree with this, alot of men highly rate the muscular man + bald + thick beard combo when ive pretty much never seen a woman say that she likes it.
@@AlexClayland1232 there is a difference between masculinity, ugly, intimidating looks, and scary looking. I Believe Quasimodo is scary and intimidating in women's eyes while not in men's eyes
This is a theory, but it does seem that the more masculine the person the more feminine they prefer their partner. The closer to the middle the person is the more variable their preferences This is especially the case with men
it's not really a theory; that's been observed for centuries at least. It's pretty obvious - the most powerful way to think of attraction is that we're attracted to people who outwardly display traits that in ourselves are repressed
This is an interesting topic . I've said for a while that men and women view attractiveness differently, this theory stemmed from my high school experience. There was always a girl that all the guys fancied, but the girls (me included) saw nothing special about. It had nothing to do with jealousy, but a genuine and confusing observation. A girl that 'other' girls deemed attracted was never seen as that attractive by the guys. I've always been confused about my perceived attractiveness as I feel I have a gender balanced 'positive' feedback. However, I think my face leans towards men finding it more attractive than women do.
An aspect that probably influences these types of studies is that the test subjects for psychology research often are psychology students. Which means that the studied group has gone through a pre-selection: participants tend to be in their 20's, are more towards the intelligent end of IQ spectrum & come usually from middle-class or higher socio-economic background. I also wonder about the cultural differences - would a research done in Thailand or Sudan yield the same results as the same research done in th USA? For an average video-wiever it is almost impossible to make an assesment about how well the study was done or how comprehensive it's scope was. Many of the psychology results haven't been able to be replicated - or the results are much murkier than the cut-clean interpretation given to the public. Psychology is a really complicated field of study!
Can you make a video on attractiveness due to exposure? like, how people get attracted to certain facial features after being exposed to ppl w different facial features for a while, like after moving countries
I was in the Marines and we were on a Navy ship for months and there were literally 3 women on it. That's it. None of them were attractive but after a few weeks out at sea and I was lusting hard for all of them lol
Cool story: when I started to get into K-pop and k-dramas, I was like "oh, I like this ugly one" from the members of a group, or drama cast. And then I found out that this person is actually in charge of visuals of the group. So of course I liked him. Everyone likes him. Although logically my brain was used to see men with different facial features as attractive, it still worked objectively. Emotionally I chose that person, who was considered attractive by a lot of other people.
it's funny. I see couples that are not aesthetically attractive but they seem to be happy together. then I see attractive people who seem to be more lonely than others and can't find partner for long term even with all the looks
I'm a girl but I love feminine delicate facial features for both men and women (V shaped sharp jawline, small chin, small nose, small pouty mouth). Men with hyper masculine face (such as big strong jaw) look old and unattractive to me. Just my opinion but I'm pretty sure there are tons of other people who think the opposite.
The more I look at these analysis, the more I understand that based on facial aesthetics alone I don't stand a chance and its better to just focus on what I want to do than than trying to find someone that would love me.
I don't think you've heard that dating do not works for attractive people by being only attractive, it's said in this video, self esteem is also an factor that is needed to be taken into account if you belitte yourself then you will get the effect called "Self fullfilling phropercy" that works on almost every aspect of your life if you let it. If you will tell yourself that you will never achive anything in life guess what happens the self fullfilling phropercy effect will start to take over your life.
@@rafsandomierz5313 I get your point, self esteem and confidence does play a huge role in dating and life in general. But imo these things come by either people telling you, you are good or you doing good for yourself through getting consistent results. I dont understand how people are confident in themselves like 98% of the time.
@@divyanshuminz7885 You have to find some sort of comfort zone that you can get into when things get too much also remember to care about your health, I have found mine through 3 years of isolation and doing hobbies though there still are things to work on I can't be perfect I can only be better.

Women will come to you naturally. Believe in yourself, and watch Rom Wills
Yes, it seems the beauty standards vary drastically: what straight men vs bi men vs lesbians vs bi women find attractive about men and women are all going to look completely different. Unfortunately there's less data on that due to the social taboos around it, so I wouldn't expect a video on it any time soon, due to lack of data.
Hi Qoves Studio, would you consider doing a video on what is more powerful when it comes to attraction "nature vs. nurture" or what is scientifically beautiful vs. what pop culture considers beautiful? In many of your videos, you've stated that things like jawline and symmetry are more important than things like having blue eyes or white skin. However, I am American and, here it seems like most women in their 20s and 30s would chase after an Andrew Garfield and, ignore a Sendhil Ramamurthy even though Sendhil is clearly scientifically closer to fitting the definition of beauty. After years of witnessing so many examples of this I can't help but, to think that what society (and media: movies, television, magazines) deems as beautiful is more influential than what we evolved to think is beautiful. Your thoughts?
It's one of the debate going on that even though sendhill is more scientifically attractive but his skin colour makes him unlikable for the western women
You have to look at what they represent too; especially when it comes to celebrities. Not just what they look like. Since they are celebrities, there is already a high chance they look much better than the average guy, so it matters less because they are both hot. What kind of role does each man generally play when he acts? How are they in interviews? For example Andrew has been a judge on Drag Race, so maybe this is attractive to a lot of women because it means he is "open minded" and maybe cares a lot about different social justice subjects that are important to women. And also: is one of them a more well known celebrity? I think that will play a big part, even if you show pictures of them when asking these women.
I find that men who are perceived as very attractive are just not until I speak with them and determine their openness and intelligence, integrity and empathy. If they lack those traits and more I no longer find them attractive. On the other hand I can meet a man who is less attractive but has a great and kind heart and demeanor I then perceive him as a 10.
Could you do an analysis on Leonard Nimoy (Spock from Star Trek)? He was an icon at the time and it would be cool to include some classic faces, especially since he has very unusual and interesting features. Same goes with David Bowie.
Do developing nations, developed nations and underdeveloped nations have different beauty standards or some of these nations emphasize money , social prestige over physical attractiveness.
The more poor the country is the more masculine men are seen as attractive and feminine women seen as attractive. Everyone like tall and in shape men, and big boobs, but the more rich the country is - the more are people ready to settle for less. Masculinity and femininity are ques for health and non hungry non disease ridden childhood. In developed nations those ques are less relevant. Plus women feel safer so they dont feel the need to find a mate that can protect them physically.
Yeah i'm from a developing nation and here, beauty is much more rigorous for women. Men on the other hand need to have high paying jobs. It is due to the culture, women stay at home, men work. But as our economy is growing i'm seeing things equalling out. Arranged marriages are going down and there is emphasis on beauty for men too (in urban areas).
I know this is yoo sciency but I would appreciate it if you talked about how birth control affects the women's preference of men .. such an important topic
I heard that they don't like masculine men when they are on birth control. So when they stop using it can happen that they aren't attracted to their partner anymore.
I always prefer masculine men it seems, the whole month BUT my style (fashion and interior design) changes from soft/feminine to more clean/sleek throughout the month 🤷🏻♀️
In other words, there isn’t one man or woman that could satisfy any man or any woman when it comes to physical looks. Unless the beauty equivalent of Thor drops from the skies.
@@VEGAS-NERVE The key word is almost all, the OP literally have said that, that there is no man nor woman that is able to satisfy 100% of humanity with physical looks until it's some sort of god from mythology.
I may look feminine but I am very well in touch with my masculine side.. See Qoves I have oestrogen yes but also very high levels of testosterone floating around in my system (I come from a family of mainly male siblings) I even walk talk think like a boy more so than a girl and I even wear my jeans super low like a boy because I do not have muffin top so I can wear my strides super low. I’m still Tom boy even at 55 hahahahah ! I accept my feminine/masculine self fully and I love myself unconditionally always and forever amen ! Cheers for this entertaining and informative video Q Ttfn;)
Please please Do video on something I have noticed, sad faces seem to be always agreed upon as the most attractive, like cillian murphy and others. I have noticed those sad faces look the sweetest and most attractive like they will give you love and tenderness.
Hello QOVES, I had sent email to the address mentioned in the community tab of this channel regarding the job opening, and that too within the deadline, but I have not yet heard back from the team.
3:53 The thing with bodily attractiveness for men is that bodily attractiveness can develop into facial attractiveness over time and thus the type of relationship will change too; from short term to long term relationship. It's lust (sexual attraction) for short term relationship developing into infatuation (romantic attraction) for long term relationship.
On the point of self attractiveness. Is that an objective rating or are deluded individuals also affected by their perception. In other words, do ugly individuals who rate themselves highly prefer the highly attractive faces? Can we use this as a way to rate our own level of attractiveness?
I noticed that on Tinder, I liked certain men, then a couple weeks later, I'd look at those matches and wonder what the heck I was thinking. Then after a couple more weeks I'd find them attractive again! Same with my current boyfriend. He is effeminate and sometimes he seems WAY too girly for me, while other times he seems manly. I came up with the theory that it depends on where I'm at in my cycle. It's so cool to hear that this is actually a thing. I love science. Oh, and my cycle also dictates what type of music I prefer. And what movies I want to watch. Amazing.
Can u do a video about asian ideal face shape vs western ideal face shape. Asian prefer egg facd like smooth v line . Jaw reduction are popular in asian in the other hand in western cheek bone implant are more popular. Western prefer sharp and define face shape. I want to know the differences between western and asian how they define beauty in men or women
I’m bisexual and for me it’s very important for both genders to have a good defined jawline, a nice nose and good hair (which are traits that I have too).
I’ve observed that guys “not all but many” are attracted to women who look similar to their mothers. I find that creepy but nonetheless I still see this.
Well don’t most people date those that are usually equally yoked plus most also dating within their race/culture? I feel liked those factors can playing to a man dating someone that looks like their mom. For example a Hispanic man dating another hispanic women where they both share the same phenotype his mother would also have.
This is true. I have a lot in common with my fiance's mother. Height and hair/eye color match. His mother has very blunt facial features for a woman and mine are slightly less so - but still more blunt than beauty standards. We're both Scorpios too. I think it's slightly creepy, but seems to be really common. My fiance does not look at all like my father.

At 6:26 or so, the point is made that men prefer more feminized faces for SR sexual flings and a more masculinized face for LR marriage. For women, they prefer the more masculinized face for SR flings and a more feminized face for LR marriage. The speculation is presented that the man or the woman prefers the less attractive, lower value person for LR marriage since these less desirable folks are less able to desert them because they cannot find another mate as easily. I would say it quite the opposite. The masculinized woman can be very attractive such as Lauren Bacall and she shows more emotional stability and intelligence, which make her a better wife and mother and also makes her less emotionally changeable and therefore more likely to be faithful to the man and the family. More feminized women are less dependable and less able to manage a household and less devoted as a mother even if they are judged to be more stimulating in bed. For women, hyper-masculinized men might be judged to be better in bed for a fling (from my own questioning of women who have had such affairs, this assumption is questionable since many men like this are done within seconds as they just go for the sexual climax), but are judged to be less able in a modern developed economy that thrives on intelligence and foresight, which the "hunk" lacks. The heavier a person's features, the more likely they are to have a smaller brain, and brain size and intelligence are positively related. The man with a greater balance of features including some feminized features would be more attractive since they have the ambition to advance but they also have the caring attitude necessary to be a loving and devoted husband and father. A man with very masculinized features might not be as willing to sacrifice for the family and share the resources that he has earned, if he has the self-discipline and intellectual ability to even gain more resources in an advanced economy where self-control pays off in the LR.
As a masculine looking woman I do not know what to do in this situation. Should I get plastic surgery to look more feminine like shaving my jaw but what about my big mouth haha damn destined to be ugly ❤
Idk cause you can say all the Kardashian’s, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba etc are more masculine compared to other celebrities but yet they’re also some of the most attractive women in the world. So I’m curious why they are the exception but also it shows that these studies aren’t 100%!
@@thiswillnotdo6027 I mean by quoves standards, yeah they are. Wider jaws, longer ramus or face, prominent or taller chins etc. - While I agree they don’t look like men, they aren’t hyper feminine either.
This is for when people start talking about social constructs. Everything social is a product of biological manifestations of evolution. No one is really enforcing ideas of masculinity or feminity, it's just the natural response to evident sexual differences.
Beauty translates all of over the world. A beautiful woman on Finland will be beautiful in China, Ghana, Mexico, Peru, and Yemen. It translates all over the world. Of course there are variances but I feel like that's evidence that it's not only a social construct. I'm sure there are influences because trends are a thing but beauty is beauty.
No, the idea of masculine and feminine (behaviour) has its roots in biology and evolution, but is influenced to a large extent by culture, education, and the environment. As an example, I am West African and in my country we have a great variety of tribes, the women of the Manjago tripe (my tripe) are much more aggressive in their behavior (masculine behavior) but the men like it, for them it is not masculine but rather womanly, shy women are not considered attractive and childlike, as shyness is mostly associated with young children. Well, in one of our neighboring tribes, the women are quite shy and submissive (feminine behavior), and in this tribe, it is a desirable behavior for a woman, loud and aggressive women are seen as masculine and manly. And those are just two tribes in just one country, you can see those differences around the world. Feminine and masculine are not universal across the world, but I do believe there are some deep rooted evolutionary differences in the behavior of men and women, but where you grow up has way more impact on you. When it comes to physical dimorphism, Asian males are considered feminine here in my country because of their soft physical structure and faces. Physical dimorphism has surely an universal denominator, but again, culture, environment, and education play an even bigger role. Humans throughout history have found the most peculiar things attractive just because it was trendy at their time, far from what biology would suggest as being attractive.
@@Madamchief And the idea of chirstianity and religions came from a drive to establish hierarchies and to answer questions that only a species with a developed hypothalamus could come up with. A result of, of course, evolution.
Okay...so out of curiosity...why would a woman use the word "pretty" to describe me when she KNOWS I'm not gay and she's NOT trying to insult me but meant it as a genuine compliment. What are other examples of what are "pretty" males? I'm just not sure how to take the compliment honestly as usually if a woman wanted to compliment my looks it was "good looking", "cute" or "attractive" or "handsome" and the usual ones. Why in the Hell would a woman opt for the word "pretty"?
2:06 Being full of steroids is not an example of masculine. I would use Joe Lando as an example when he was young. He has strong facial features and normal muscles.
would you please consider talking about beauty from the perspective of the queer community? id love to hear thoughts on different stereotypes like dating partners that look similar to oneself or why certain attractive traits may be highly coveted vs other attractive traits in the gay community. Thanks!
That doesn't really explain why good looking people cheat with "ugly" people which happens plenty. This seems like the kind of thing that is almost impossible to prove.
I don't like the idea that Qoves will talk about queer people since he's probably just going to reinforce stereotypes, but i hope he's able to analyze queer people without the "heteronormative/stereotypical" lens that a lot of people do.
can't even do a good study on homos since they identify as 27 genders and 42 sexualities. how do you categorize something like that with enough data lol
I f hate the fact that not the only one who like feminine men. Some women actually likes them and feminine looking men are rare. Most men are masculine and most women likes masculine men. Here, we are talking about looks not personalities.
Attractive females now actually have a harder time getting hired than their less attractive competitors. It’s all wrapped up in the “me too” situation.
@@hanniltopher7173 Basically more attractive women are typically viewed as risky in an office situation. Men don’t want to put themselves in a situation where they may want to pursue a female at work. While ALL WOMEN are being affected in the office negatively… more attractive women aren’t as likely as less attractive women to get hired in the first place.
@@hanniltopher7173 Even with the less attractive women though… men aren’t taking meetings in private with them anymore. Women are far less likely to be taken on trips for business that involve hotels etc. Any situation where a man feels there is an opportunity for a false allegation against him…. They are being avoided. It’s not worth the risk.
