INSPIRATION
It’s in the way she walks, talks and
presents herself. It might be the girl you
don’t notice at first, the one who doesn’t
always stand out. It’s the girl you need to
get to know, whose beauty becomes more
defined with every conversation, every
glance. It’s a word that describes women
who can’t be classified as just hot. There
is nothing more beautiful than a woman
with passion. A girl who gets excited about
things, lives for things and holds things
close to her heart is a girl worth knowing.
The allure of the beautiful woman is that
she does not need to work hard or fight
for attention. She’s tight-lipped. There’s
nothing more intriguing than a woman of
mystery, one who keeps her affairs private
and those unnecessary words to herself. A
beautiful woman is full of surprises and
becomes more beautiful the more time
you spend getting to know her. Poetry
and music also bring out beauty in several
ways. Poet William Wordsworth for
example lays emphasis on the beauties of
physical nature, an emphasis that is one
of the chief characteristics of “Romantic”
poets in general.
So what makes humans
beautiful?
Proportion and symmetry are often signs
of good health, explains Linda Lowther,
Psycho Ex (1987-present) prominent
forehead ridge and square jaw are signs
of high testosterone in males. Women
with child-like facial features are often
considered more attractive because they
indicate youth and thus, fertility. ETC
Meanwhile Ciaran Hassan (quora) who
among other things, studies what makes
faces beautiful says that in his work he
recalls struggling to understand why high
cheekbones are perceived as attractive in
Beauty is
a powerful
word, one not
thrown around
as frivolously
as hot, pretty
or any of the
hundreds
of words
we’ve come
to describe
women
both males and females despite being a
trait linked to high-estrogen exposure.
He notes that one of the universal
characteristics among attractive people is
symmetry. We prefer symmetrical faces
(including those with clear skin, as acne
introduces asymmetry to the face) to
asymmetrical ones... He says what’s most
surprising to him is how so much of facial
attractiveness is about bone development
— the facial features that we perceive
as ‘attractive’ are usually only there as
side-effects of an underlying skeletal,
craniofacial development.
What attracts you to men?
Facial hair has been popular in recent
years in the U.K. and other Western
European countries. (And even in Africa)
The guardian international edition,
says that the manicures, shaves and spa
treatments that for generations have been
a part of barbershop culture, particularly
in the Middle East, are attracting new
British customers. City streets are
teeming with barbershops and nail bars
seemingly unaffected by the recession.
