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.
