No. I think a pretty Scandinavian face, southern European face, West African face, Japanese face, etc. have more in common with each other than they do with ugly faces of the same ethnicity.

self thinking individuals are abandoned out of groups. This is because a group cannot boss others if others don't follow the masses orders and apprecitiations. Everyone in a pack have to believe this same story or it does not work. If everyone would appreciate themselves there would no be bosses and followers. But who is stong enough to oppose and to like what they like and to do what they want to do? Who? Not many and no less because of they want to gain this applause from society.. Mass people have a need to be accepted by other people.

For example:

"Your light blue shirt is ugly and girly, hahahah"

and the next day he will come with black shirt to avoid negative attention from others.

Whats interesting is back in the renaissance period the ideal for what was attractive in society was full figured gals. Today its the opposite. Does that mean our social groups, media or family have more of an impact on what is attractive(brainwashing) or are we in control? What do you think?

I think it's mostly a myth. Paintings of large naked women were, pun intended, largely for shock value. The ideal probably was slightly heavier than it is now (maybe because skinniness was associated with contagion and death), but appealing words like "lithe" and "maiden" date to back to those times for a reason.
