Hmm....
Look honestly, I don't see how this is a valid article because it sounds like someone's opinion essay about today's society rather than a factual piece. I mean, if this article discussed more about how the Asian beauty sterotype means having perfect white skin and being skinny (with references, of course) then I'd understand. And maybe discussing the history of the female beauty ideal, such has how having bound feet were once a staple for Chinese women in society.SunsetFlare (talk) 11:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this article is in horrible shape. There's not really precedent for it either.  While there is an article on physical attractiveness, there is nothing on American ideals of beauty or Indian or even on ideals of female beauty in general.  Much of what is here appears to be original research.   Gobonobo  T C 05:49, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Just finished editing, I think the two different Chinese female images may help a lot to understand the essay — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yanyantypo (talk • contribs) 19:30, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

A joke?
Presumably an article with this title was conceived after returning, drunk from a bar?

Its possible relevance to an encyclopaedia is hard to discern.

Unless... ... yes, perhaps expand the theme. Next could be

United States of America ideals of female beauty (1) plastic teeth with a radiation-white glow (2) plastic breasts more suited to ball games than human flesh (3) well-developed subcutaneous fat, steadily increasing with the years

At least as accurate, so perhaps deserving of a Wikipedia entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.3.98 (talk) 03:10, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

More Details Needed?
Right now, this article seems to be very biased. It only includes a few aspects of what people see as "beautiful". Maybe consider how these standards came to be and who enforces them? As of now this article is incomplete and has many grammatical errors.

Evaluation of this article
Under the "Cultural Ideas on Women's Beauty" section, I feel that the viewpoint that is over represented is that women uphold their beauty standards simply and solely due to the objectification of women in the common workplace. So the idea that cultural influences on Chinese women's beauty originates or is "largely due to" the redlight district or the intent to please men is absurd. Although it may be true, and would be more convincing if there were more citations, this section implies that cultural ideas only due to what is stated in this section. I think the viewpoint that is under represented is the influence on television/media and the idea that skin tone plays a dramatic role for Chinese beauty standards. That's stated in a separate section, but I feel that since it is a central topic among Asian beauty standards, I feel like it needs more elaboration.

The second and forth citation links do not work, so I would not know if they are reliable. Under the section "Cultural Ideas on Women's Beauty", the quote stated in the third citation is too long and should have been paraphrased instead.Serent1ty (talk) 17:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
