"How do we make ourselves beautiful"? Is the question that we may or may not be asking ourselves and others. Over the few days I have been researching different opinions about what people define as beauty. My summary to this question is that beauty is whatver you want it tob e, beauty can be the way someone smiles, dress, talk, interact with others, etc.How you define beauty is your own everyone isn't going to define it the same way.
In the article "Skin Deep" by Arthur Marwick he talks about how he sees Beauty. He goes on to say "To validate that statement we have to be rigorous in our definition of beauty- a purely physical, biological quality-not rolling it up, as is so often done, with other desirable qualities such as charm, generosity, always being in the height of fashion, or sexual availability." From what I gathered from my Research Marwick believed that beauty is based on looks instead of "charm, generosity, sex, etc.
"When one has a beautful wife one has no fine pigs. Why? Because the pigs instead of eating, spend all their time starring at her.- Arthur Marwick
Quotes of the day
Based on the Interview that I held with my sister I learned that looks aren't the other thing that matter. When asked "Does personality matter? Quickly answered "Yes of course Personality matters, you can't depend on looks forever. Eventually your going to get old and won't be able to rely on looks anymore."
Summary of Interview
The interview I withheld was a series of 15 questions asked by me and answered by my sister which I was interviewing. The questions that were asked during the interview was based off what her "Definition of Beauty" was. Some Examples of the questions that were asked are: "Do you think muscles are sexy?" Her answer "They are! I think it makes a guy more attractive." When asked if height and weight matter she said "Height definetly matters, especially because im short why would I want to date somone the same size as me." On to the important question in some eyes "Does scent matter? She quickly replied with no hesitation "If my man don't smell good he's getting the boot."
