Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—or so the saying goes. However, there's also the unspoken rule of beauty standards that varies country to country. It's widely accepted that what is beautiful in one part of the world might not be pleasant in another, which adds to diversity on the global scale. But there's another side to it, as it inflicts somewhat harsh standards on people. In order to point this out, an experiment was conducted by Superdrug Online Doctor to take a closer look at the local beauty standards in several countries and compare how they hold up against each other. According to them, "Since what is perceived as beautiful can vary substantially around the world, our study of the ideal body image attempted to compare as diverse opinions as possible."

    Yeah disgusting :( Its ok to be naturally a bit underweight (or overweight). Nobody is perfect. But promoting this BMI is unethical.

    This is totally understandable. The body type of the Asians is totally different than the one of the Europeans or Americans. They are small, thin and their bodies have very balanced proportions. This Photoshop model is a bad one but still give the VERY general picture.

    The original picture is wrong to begin with. Asian, European and African have very much different body structures (and this is not even in details of being Caucasian , Arab, African, etc). It is true that the social perception on women body here in Asia is not always right. But to use the wrong comparison make it even worse, giving us the negativity without just cause.

    Not true. Some asians are more petitie than some caucasians. But this is not a small woman. She is very underweight.
