As blackpilled men, we already know that most of what we perceive as beautiful is hardwired into our DNA and that there are evolutionary reasons to why we find those traits attractive. For example, good hip to waist ratio in women is an indicative that she can give healthy childbirth, broad shoulders on man is an indicative of stength and athletic prowess, that's not cultural, this information was already hard wired into our brains from birth.
However, we cannot deny that culture also has a strong impact on what we perceive as beautiful, people from isolated tribes have shown that it's possible for humans to be conditioned to find the most bizarre traits attractive:
Does our modern society still uphold a lot of cultural standards of beauty? Or is that just a normie cope and in our modern world devoid from barbaric practices, nearly all that we find attractive is biological? To what extent does that relate to white people being perceived as the most attractive?
For a trait to be objectively better looking, it needs to be biological, it needs to have an evolutionary reason why it's more attractive, otherwise we can just assume it's cultural influence. So I made a list of white traits that are considered attractive and will analyze if it makes biological sense for them to be attractive or if it's just standards.
List of "attractive" traits that are more commonly, or more intensely found in European populations:
1. A thin nose with a high nose bridge
Nostril width evolved accordingly with the climate, wider noses being better suited for warm climates and vice versa.
So why is it that thin noses are now the standard everywhere? Is there any biological reason? Or it just cultural standards?
I feel like it's mostly cultural tbh, but if I had to point to a biological reason... The only thing that I can think of is that:
The thinner the nose is, the wider the mouth appears in comparison, improving the nose to mouth ratio. Having a mouth that is 1.6 times wider than the nose (golden ratio) is seen as the universal ideal, most people don't have such a wide mouth but having a thin nose helps give the impression of a wider mouth.
A high nose bridge on the other hand, as much as I researched, I could not find an explanation to its evolution. Maybe it's just a natural result of thinner noses. Although this theory doesn't sit well with eskimos, they live even further north than europeans and look at their noses:

I am really at a loss here. Maybe what happened with whites was just genetic drift after all (Random genetic mutations that occur in a population without natural selection)
In which case it would mean that finding european noses more attractive is just cultural bias.
2. Fair skin
Even normies will admit that around the world fair skin is revered. But they always attribute it to wealth, throughout history those who work outside in the sun (the poor low class) would get tanner and the rich would stay indoors and keep their fair complexion. A stigma grew around having dark skin because it was associated with poverty while a status halo grew around white skin. According to normies that's all there is to it, and it's just a matter of deprogramming this mentality.
But there is more to it than just that. Firstly, skin color is a dimorphic trait. Men are on average darker than women, higher rates of melanin are correlated with testosterone. That's why black men are usually attractive in a more masculine way and why black women are generally seen as unattractive by other races are are perceived as not feminine. That's why being light skinned matters more for female beauty than male.
So I believe the reason fair skinned women are more attractive is biological but the reason why fair skin in men is prefered is cultural.
3. Lighter eye colors
About 8 thousand years ago some random guy was born with a random mutation that gave him blue eyes.
That one guy’s SMV was so high that the trait spread all over Europe faster than the dark plague. To the point where in many northern European countries virtually EVERYONE has that trait.
This can mean one of two things:
The trait offered a significant survival advantage or the trait offered a significant advantage in sexual selection. I think it's pretty obvious what it was seeing that eskimos can see perfectly well in the arctic. It was considered more attractive. Blue eyes had never existed prior to that, and brown eyes were all people had ever been exposed to, yet it was still considered far more attractive.
If you think about it, it's pretty obvious, blue is most favorite color overall:
