A woman being beautiful involves much more than looks alone. While her appearance

plays a role, it requires much more to obtain such a status in my "beauty book".

Some men may only care what she looks like to consider her beautiful. While there are

many very pretty women out there which I have caught myself drooling over from time to

time, it takes more than that for me to give her the beautiful stamp of approval. For me it

also involves what her personality is like. A woman who is pretty,but also out going, sure

of herself, sweet, nice, funny, and likes to watch television in her underwear would obtain

such a prestigious title.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.

A beautiful face is like a mirror, reflecting everything dear to me back at myself so I may enjoy it. Everything I love exists in it. Then I get to know the person...LOL and then the mirror slowly gives a clearer picture and gives way to all the uglyness that is within me, all my faults become visible to me in infinite detail. The deeper I longed for it, now the more uglyness pain and sorrow from my own blemishes. As I continue to gaze into the beauty, it changes to loathing until full payment is rendered, a balance of good and evil, pleasure and pain, love and sorrow fully expierenced..........then I realize that it does not matter at all, for beauty is temporary and passing away. It is a temporary hypnosis, that removes or inhibits your freedom, which all sucumb to worshipping at some point in thier lives, and that is good!

I have dated men that were drop dead gorgeous....however when i got to know them well their looks diminished...right before my eyes(example...when they are rude to otheres..especially waitresses)Just to name one.

I also have known men that at first I did not find attractive...however...when they are kind hearted,respectfull,and have manners,they start to look better and better.(They have to have a great sense of humor...im a sucker for a guy that can make me roll on the floor.)

A physicaly good looking woman has beauty in my eyes. But the real beauty that makes me feel that warm loving feeling Is when she looks into my eyes with love-acceptance and a smile that indicates she is enjoying being with me. My God that is beautiful beyond description.

This is a great question. I think about this a lot. My idea and definition of beauty changes all the time. I can say that I love men with long blonde hair, and then I'll see someone with flaming red hair and it just turns me on like crazy. There cannot be a formula, or if there is, it is always morphing and evolving. It goes very deep into a person's soul. I usually can trust my first impressions. They are almost always right. I usually know right away if someone is worth taking the time to admire (beauty-wise). "They" say (whoever they are) that one of the most important aspects of someone's beauty is their symmetry. Evidently, the natural instinct to mate and procreate causes us to choose someone who is symmetrical. (I am in big trouble, cause one of my boobs is bigger than the other!) At any rate, whether or not someone strikes me as beautiful makes no difference as to whether or not I want to hang out with them since I have no desire to "procreate"!!

Very good question, Spice. I always enjoy your posts. I have learned a lot about many people here on the board thanks to you! Still a newbie, I am trying to post a little along the way and begin to maybe even have people on the board learn who I am. Thanks.

To me, someone totally comfortable in their own skin, is beautiful (I realize some folks can fake this, too bad I can't). Why else would I find John Malkovich and Billy Bob Thornton so damn attractive?

i think confidence is definitely something that makes someone beautiful! someone who is friendly and smiles girls with wide eyes and long curly hair boys with dark eyes/skin and hair is beautiful

nature is the most beautiful thing i can think of. anything from flowers grass to the moon and the stars

love

an unbreakable bond between my friends and i

s p i c e , i truly think you are beautiful. especially in the last pictures i've seen of you with little emmie. and i'm not just saying that because you and i look a lot alike .

Sweet post Bitter...

looks DO play a part, although I have dated some very good looking men that could cover a magazine and once you get to know the REAL them they become very far from beautiful. Some peopel are nice and all, but they lack the depth, the inner glow...

Do looks play a true part? OF COURSE!!! I would not be with you-all-know-who if I did not find him phsyically attractive. There are features that I DO find a HUGE turn on... but on a deeper level... that become like fine art my very lucky eyes to gaze at. But, in the end, the most true of all beauty lies so deeply within a soul it cannot help but to burst forth in such a way that it becomes almost blinding... Yes, true beauty is a blend that means something different to each person, and to me it is somthing that captivates me, sparks inside of me pure emotion. Nirvana for the eyes, something so above looks that words simply do not describe...

Kisses,

Amanda
