Conception of Beauty

I think it is very strange how Americans always talk about how beautiful Brazilian girls are. Don't get me wrong, there are some extremely gorgeous women here, but Americans' idea of beauty and Brazilians' idea of beauty are very very different.

In America, we idolize the breasts. Women get breast implants and we are all about that. In Brazil, it is all about the ass. Some women even get butt implants. Here no one cares about having big boobs, in fact many men don't like it, (Renata's grandpa wants her grandma to get a breast reduction!) but any man will check out a girl with a nice bunda. If you drew a stick figure of women that men like from both countries, the US would have a stick with big boobs, and Brazil would have a stick with a big butt.

For example, just google image "mulher melancia" or click on that link to get a taste of what I am talking about.

That is what a Brazilian man finds sexy in a woman. Oh, and mulher melancia means watermelon woman, and I think you can guess why.

Also, Brazilians value women who work out. By this, I mean women who have very visible ab muscles, arm muscles, etc. It is very strange, at least to me. Brazilian men also like their women curvier than American men do. Brazilians do not like the anorexic look, and I saw a billboard for swimsuits that had a very pretty girl with a normal body on it. That would never happen in the states. Renata (my Brazilian friend) has an uncle that prefers his women with a pooch; a flat stomach is not sexy to him.

So next time you think of Brazil, get it right- think of curvy women with huge asses (or just perfect looking butts, how do they all manage to do it?) and small boobs.
