Cultural norms have a big impact on what's deemed attractive in different places and eras. Being overweight is basically a requirement for beauty in Mauritania, for example. I'm interested in what's hot today but not tomorrow, and vice versa.

  1. Racial preferences - probably going to be a lot different in future generations. Globalization, media representation, large increase in mixed race people should all be factors.
  2. Emotional intelligence - I think this will be more in demand than ever before, as we become more of an emotionally stunted society addicted to our devices and vices.
  3. Height - I see the arms race heating up. Basically you have countries in Europe which are already ahead thanks to 20th century prosperity. The rest of the world is trying to catch up. If I could buy stock in tall women I would.
