For the record, I've been to every state east of the Mississippi except Maine, and I've lived in GA for 8 years now.
And at no point I implied that those things are "superficial," or that American women are more superficial.
Beauty standards are no more or less superficial, they just are what what they are.
And to back up my claim, as not to make my personal experience the norm, per capita spending on cosmetics and toiletries: US, 128 Euros, original 12 EU nations 98 Euros (at purchasing power parities, so this takes care of differences in price)
And as far as tight fitting clothes go, all it takes is a stroll to the mall to see that women's fashion in the US includes a lot less form fitting clothes than in Europe or elsewhere.
