There are an Englishman, a German and a Russian No, this is not the beginning of another anecdote, but an approximate description of the video filmed by the BuzzFeed portal. In it, the authors tried to explore the geography of male beauty. The video turned out to be beautiful, but not very informative. We decided to expand the topic more broadly.

1. Australia
To understand how popular Australian men are, just look at the ratings of the sexiest actors - the Australian Hemsworth brothers are always in the top ten. Relief muscles and cubes on the stomach are a must-have for those who spend most of their life on the beach. Australian men do not hesitate to go to cosmetologists and even plastic surgeons - rhinoplasty, facelift and ear correction on the Green Continent are not uncommon. The average height of an Australian is 175 cm.
2. Korea
In Korea, as well as China and Japan, the standards of male beauty are set by pop culture, amazing and outrageous. Here a man's cosmetic bag weighs no less than a woman's, and this does not raise any questions. Lip gloss, eyebrow gel and even BB cream are actively used by the average young Korean. Among other signs: neat hairstyles, reminiscent of a female pixie haircut, and, most importantly, no beard - this world trend was not supported by skinny residents of Asia. Plastic surgery is held in high esteem: eye enlargement, getting rid of the "third century", injections - the arsenal of male procedures is growing every year.
3. India
And although Bollywood glorifies the image of a strong courageous male in every possible way, the Indian man is literally obsessed with "cans" - 65% of all men's cosmetics are sold here and in the surrounding regions. Whitening creams and hair care products are especially popular. In recent years, Indians have been experimenting not only with hair style, but also with hair color.
4. Russia
In our country, a handsome man is a strong man. In every sense of the word. Not only a slanting fathom in the shoulders, but also a stable position in society. And also blonde hair and eyes, big hands, a confident gait - approximately this ideal of beauty is described by Russian women. With cosmetics for our men, everything is still difficult: while fashionable barber shops open one after another in the capital, in the regions it is still indecent to moisturize lips with balm (at least publicly). Not to mention matting powder or, say, face peeling. What domestic men are willing to spend time and money on are shaving products, perfumes and oral care.
5. France
The reputation of the French as experienced seducers also affects their appearance - in general, they always look well-groomed and stylish. It's not just about the hairstyle and neat unshavens, the French closely follow the little things: for example, they regularly go to teeth whitening, get a manicure, and use eye drops. As for clothing, accessories such as scarves, shawls, gloves, hats and glasses have a significant place in the wardrobe of the average French citizen. Hence the feeling of thoughtfulness of the image.
6. UK
If in the countries of Asia light skin is being elevated into a cult, then in England the opposite is true. The most popular procedure among men is self-tanning. Foggy Albion was not spared by the fashion for the main masculine "attribute" of our time - a beard. Although the British women, according to polls, prefer men with "soft" faces: without a massive lower jaw, thin, clean-shaven, with medium-sized lips. David Beckham is perhaps the canonical example of English male beauty. By the way, tattoos are another "fad" of the Englishman. Every fifth inhabitant of the country has drawings on the body.
7. Italy
“The main thing is that the suit fits” - this is the real credo of Italians, passionate lovers of fashion, expensive fabrics and interesting prints. Italian men love and know how to take care of themselves, without losing their masculinity and remaining attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex. In Italian there is even a special term "sprezzatura", which can be roughly translated as the ability to pay attention to details as if by chance, with irony, so that everyone has a feeling of unbearable lightness and carelessness.
8. USA
Lumbersexuals have replaced metrosexuals. From the English "lumbersexual" - so to speak, "sexy lumberjack". Lambsexuals are powerful guys, with a pumped-up torso that does not leave a hint of androgyny, tattooed and - certainly! - bearded. The thicker the better. Plus a checkered shirt, straight jeans and a hoodie - this is how not only the Rangers of Utah look now, but also the inhabitants of Manhattan.
9. Brazil
The typical Brazilian is a mix of the most attractive traits borrowed from different nations. Olive skin is a heritage of the Portuguese, light eyes are of the Germans. Light brown hair combined with tanned skin, “six-pack abs” as an obligatory part of the image (and what else to shine on the beaches of Copacabana, when you are wearing only shorts and a baseball cap?), The nose, ears and lips neatly adjusted by the surgeon. When you are in Rio de Janeiro, pay attention to how cool local men look compared to local women, who are close friends with cellulite and overweight, but do not hesitate to wear crop tops and miniskirts. Brazilian guys are greedy for curvaceous forms, and this is another indisputable plus in their tanned relief karma.
