LOOK: This is what SA's perfect partner looks like
Breakfast with Martin Bester asked AI to create what SA's ideal partner looks like based on data collected from residents.
Beauty standards have changed drastically over the years, and knowing what people find attractive can be difficult.
Luckily, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what people find attractive depends on the individual.
That being said, beauty ideals do change over time, and people's preferences and attractions are often shaped by new-age beauty ideals and what society finds attractive.
