Discuss, if you wish.

Beauty is culturally defined and in any event personality can be seductive, but in saying that, I couldn't live with a face that looked like a cow chewing a brick.
I like Rubenesque beauty, like Christina Hendricks, and I married one.
There is so much common sense, sociological research, developmental research, facial and body esthetics research, etc, to refute the article that discussing it may generate words and feelings but nothing that approximates the workings of the real world.
Keats? Arentchajustsickofhim?
I don't mind browsing through the poems what he wrote, but I resent having to answer questions on them in a written examination.
I guess we know his target market.
Every now and then I get into an argument with some bonehead about the fact that I only like blondes and gingers. I always ask them that because of my opt out they've got one more awesome brunette to choose from, and thus what's the argument about?
I am a devotee of the old Grecian ideal of "kalos kai agathos." I detest ugliness in men or women and any sort of bodily deformity. Need I go on....
I think of how old Homer characterized the god Hephaistos as a "horrible monster" merely because he had a gimpy leg. I was thinking of this when that horrible monster Oscar Pistorius murdered (in all probability) the lovely, Aphrodite-like Reeva Steenkamp. I rather felt she got what was coming to her for bestowing her charms on such a horrible monster!
l could never be with a woman who didn't look good. Good looks have always been important to me.

^I am surpised at that Shooey, I would have thought someone at your chakra spiritual level would like Buddha eschew aesthetiscism for something more deeper and meaningful?

The girls with tatts are always the best ones. Whole sleeves, tramp stamps and lots of artwork on the back. Very sexy.

As my superstar Ivy career continues to rocket towards the stars I've been visiting even more Gay bars than usual to socialise with clothing people and have been tickled by how I can be ogled in some places and ignored in others. I remain the same but the perception of my beauty changes as many as three times an evening sometimes...
I try to discuss this with Mrs Jimmy and she informs me that that's just how it is for women. For men in a straight environment the perception of how well they are dressed (rather than their beauty) must always be morphing too... It all depends on your audience ?
