There’s actually a lot of evidence that suggests that beauty standards for women are universal.
For the most part, there’s gonna be a lot of accordance on expected hip:waist ratio, hair length, and more (for women).
There’s greater variance for dudes, but only because there’s different signaling across cultures for wealth and power —things that are traditionally sought after in mates.

The scientific "arm" of people with the TRP mindset is Evolutionary Psychology.
If you or your social circle have a scientific bent, I recommend having a look at Kanazawa's or Baron-Cohen's publications in the journal Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Or, if you're more into popular science, pick up a copy of Miller's "Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters".
Genetics are what they are - facts aren't prejudiced.
There is TONS of information available for you on this. Do some research. There is some info out of of most universities on this, Stanford and UT stick out however, we are being killed by the Japanese and Chinese in these research areas bc they don't bow to PC culture and have no problems culturally with genetics based race realism - possibly bc they come out on top most of the time in all areas.
A good, fun easy read to start - complete with an into that explains the inflammatory nature of genetic based race realism and puts it into it's place - Why Beautiful People Gave More Daughters: From Shopping, and Praying and Going to War and Becoming a Billionaire by Alan Miller & Satoshi Kanazawa. https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-People-Have-More-Daughters/dp/0399534539
Another basic book on genetics which touches on this briefly is Genes, People, and Languages by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza. https://www.amazon.com/Genes-Peoples-Languages-Luigi-Cavalli-Sforza/dp/0520228731/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1479378195&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=sforzi+cavalli

Books.
No worries. I read about it in this book:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beautiful-People-Have-More-Daughters/dp/0399534539/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410785962&sr=8-1&keywords=Why+Beautiful+People+Have+More+Daughters
It's authored by the guy mentioned in the wiki page. Worth a look as it goes into great detail but it's still easy to understand.
Fat tails. Seriously. Evolutionary psychologists have tackled this question and the summary is that Nature randomizes males more than females. Females tend to be closer to the average on any measure you care to choose. Males tend to be more widely distributed - their statistics have "fat tails". Thus, there are more male idiots and more males geniuses. There are more male celibates and more male sex maniacs. And so on. Looked at in this light, we can think of serial killing as "being far from the average". Thus, there are more male serial killers than female serial killers.
I strongly recommend that everyone read Kanazawa & Miller's brilliant popular introduction to evolutionary psychology: Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters ... this is a must-read nowadays.
I can recommend a book that also has a lot of other references. http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-People-Have-More-Daughters/dp/0399534539
