How 1 Man's Body Was Photoshopped to Meet 19 Different "Ideal" Beauty Standards Around the World

A few months ago, a U.K.-based online doctor service Photoshopped a woman's body to fit the ideal beauty standard of 18 different countries, and in doing so, showed just how much the perception of what is or isn't attractive varies from one place to another. Now, the same site has done the same study, this time with men. 

Using an original photo graciously provided by a New York photographer, the site asked graphic designers from 19 different countries — the group included 11 women and eight men — to Photoshop the man's body to fit the ideal beauty standard of their culture. 

The results are truly fascinating.
