Ok ya'll what does beauty mean to you ? How do you define it in your life ?
Beauty comes from within... confidence, sex appeal etc... the more confident you are, and the more comfortable you are in your own skin is how I define beauty.
The outward appearance is important as well, however, a person is much more attractive when they have inner beauty and a nice outward appearance.
In my life.. well, I try to see the beauty in everyone, even the assholes. LOL
To me, there are many levels and types of beauty... It could be physical, mental or emotional. Generally I define it as something that does the following things:
1. Causes a reaction of some sort, whether it is simply an acknowledgement of beauty all the way up to causing my breath to stop or bring a tear to my eye.
2. I feel that in some way, no matter the magnitude, my life was enriched in some way by experiencing the "beauty."
I'm sorry if the response is more vague than what you're looking for, but I tried. ;)
It's the way that people treat other people. The most beautiful people I know are so loving, accepting and non-judgemental...everything else is just the icing on the cake.
oK wELL i BELIEVE bEAUTY IS A FEELING MORE THEN AN ACTUSL VISUAL THING... :)
In people, I define it much like the ladies here. Beauty is something that isn't so much physical as it is a feeling you get from certain, special people. People that are giving, loving, warm, accepting, couragious, sacrificing, empathic, compassionate and caring. These are truly the beautiful people in this world and they are so very rare and hard to find. In a world of self-absorbed and selfish people, finding that rare gem is such a wonderful thing.
As ugliness is much like a disease, it rubs off on so many people so the number of truly beautiful people does have a tendency to diminish.
Alternatively, beauty is also contagious- people of such stuff inspire us, push us to do better and aspire to be more true to ourselves and that part of us left that is human. It's so important to surround oneself with beautiful people in order to help balance the bombardment of ugliness our world has thrown at us from all directions.
Three words... Daisy Duke shorts... 'Nuff said. :D
For me it's not just appearance. Its how they present themselves, how they carry themselves. Its also their minds and personalities. Someone can be less than Runway Model quality and still be beautiful to me. They're clean, well kept, they choose their styles in attire, hair, etc.. well based on their build/coloration/situation, they have a healthy, slightly stand-outish attitude and presence....
I had recently caught an interesting documentary on Discovery, called Survival Of The Prettiest. It discussed what we as humans focus on as physical beauty. How its natural for our species to seek out specific types of appearance. It showed studies on how men vs women react to beauty, how infants react to it, etc. VERY interesting stuff.
When I’m happy, I’m beautiful
When I’m ecstatic, I’m gorgeous
When I’m sad, I’m girl next door
When I’m miserably depressed I’m ugly
lol
So really, it's how a woman feels..

Beauty is something pure & strong that cannot be marred or destroyed. The joy of children. The strength of doing the right thing in any given situation. Happy laughter.
