Geez, this got out of hand fast...

Look, I have to chime in and say that other anon is at least right that scientific studies have been conducted to determine whether such a concept as "universal standard of beauty" can be proven to exist. And while of course no tests are absolutely conclusive and the conclusions only pointed toward trends and commonalities, some of the tests do indicate that people have purely biological impulses that steer them toward certain traits in potential partners: one such test involved a blind trial of monitoring subtle hormonal cues the body gives off when a subject is given different scents to smell from several individuals. It's got nothing to do with the ev-psych school, or what the media believes you should find attractive.

And before you bring it up, the test subjects were screened by gender, age and sexuality. But really, I find it weird and irrelevant that you even brought up being a lesbian in the first place, because it's not like we're arguing that gender is an universal standard of attraction. You can still fall into general biological trends even within the boundary of your sexual orientation.
