I agree when the book says that perspective that physical structures and social orders of attractiveness change from culture to culture and from person to person. In Honduras, we say that there is a color for every preference. This old saying means that there is a diversity of tastes and preferences among people, so what I might like maybe my best friend will hate. However, even though we have very similar personalities, there are certain things that we do not share. Sometimes I ask myself how could she date that person but it is just a matter of taste. Furthermore, a cultural example happens between Hispanic and American people. I believe Hispanics find white skin and light-colored eyes attractive because of the stereotype, and I have heard many comments from American people who find dark hair and tanned skin attractive instead. Since humans are most likely going to spend time with somebody who thinks in a similar way, my question is if beyond feeling attracted to each other, are two people from different countries likely to fall in love with each other despite the cultural differences?

That doesn't make a lot of sense...if a Hispanic likes white skin and light colored eyes and a Caucasian likes tan skin and dark hair, why would a cultural difference stop the two from being attracted to each other when they match one anothers' tastes? Attraction is always the first step in a relationship, so if the attraction is there, culture isn't going to be a great obstacle.
