You are so beautiful.., but a what cost?

Not to mention about, my friend. It's my pleasure to participate...

Hmm, that is an interesting thought to be mentioned.., I like it. Thanks for sharing in this discussion.

I totally agree with you..we are women and we are all beautiful...

Hi ladies, how are you? I am happy that you feel great about yourselves; being beautiful and all. However, I hope that you are sympathetic to other women who are not as beautifully endowed as you are. While the society is relatively kinder to the 'more beautiful' people in the world, remember that, in fact, that 'not so beautiful' persons have to live in the same world as everybody else- and face the cruelty, and harshness in a different (more severe) way than others like you and other 'more beautiful' ladies! How else should the women who are less beautifully endowed effectively compare with- or be on par with- the other ladies like you; but to accessorize themselves, wear more fashionable clothing,keep physically fit, (and in special cases, elect to do corrective surgery procedures), and /or improve their self esteem? I understand that one may be tempted to think that the sacrifice that many 'not so beautiful' women make in order to achieve their stated objective- of being beautiful- is not worth it, but do we have the right to make such a determination? Anyway, I praise all women for their efforts, and I am pleased to publicly acknowledge the efforts of any woman who chooses to 'do something' to enhance her image of being beautiful.

Of course, we are after all, human... We, or at least I do, appreciate physical beauty... Though I'm no expert in automotive industry, I often compare different aspects to cars... I like fast cars even though I'm not a big fan of most of sports cars... But for the argument sake, I'll bring up Lamborghini... It's a beautiful car... I don't deny that... But imagine the same car with a motorcycle engine under the hood... Car may look pretty to look at but that would be just about an extent of it... It's not living up to its full potential, or at least it won't perform to what it was designed for... Flip side of that, take Honda Civic... May not be much to look at in some people's opinion... But somehow install Lamborghini's engine in it... Ok, ok... I might be exaggerating it a bit but I think you get my point... How's that old saying go? Beauty is in eyes of the beholder... I guess what I. Saying is, I'm more for the "whole package" deal rather than one aspect of a person...

Sk66rc, you have raised an interesting issue in your response.., and I like it. In essense, seek after 'the finer things' in life, instead of the superficial ones. Despite that thought, it must be stated that everyone is not placed at the same starting point in life, and all persons are given different endowments in life as well. As a result, not every woman is 'deemed' naturally pretty, physically attractive, with wonderful personality, or can be called naturally beautiful. However, some women who do not think that they can be classified as being naturally beautiful-for whatever the reasons forwarded- can be elevated to that 'esteemed status position' of being beautiful; with the help of accessories, fashionable clothing, a body makeover, surgery, improved self confidence, and or any combination of the approaches mentioned earlier. I am always in favor of enhancing the image of women in every way I can.., even in issuing compliments about their physical appearance. (In addition, I try to encourage the ladies to be and stay as beautiful as they can.. as I think it is always an admirable trait to have).

Thanks for your soothing thoughts. I appreciate that, in your own way, you explained the difference between being pretty and being beautiful. You have also, reminded us that one should operate within ones limitations and avoid going 'overboard' in a bid just to look pretty. Well said, and thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

Limechavez05, I appreciate your comments. Indeed, if I had a choice, my first preference would be around a woman who is naturally beautiful. It that option is not available for me to have, then my second choice would be in the company of a woman who can use whatever is available to her such as acessories, great fashionable clothing, etc to 'enhanced' her beauty. At any rate, I shall not only tell the ladies how beautiful you are.., but I will not stop admiring them for their beauty.

Preciousjayje, you are correct in your approach to this topic. In addition, it is for the reasons that you give that prompt me to publicly acknowledge beauty being display by the women of this world. Why? My actions should be interpreted as a goodwill gesture, to be a catalyst for all as: (1) an addditional source of encouragement for them, and (2) a source of appreciation for the hard work being put into it by these women.

You are correct in everything you commented on. If both parties (men and women) benefit from the display of beauty, then perhaps, the efforts put out by these ladies, in order to achieve the objective are worth it.., and I am glad. (smile)

It is true that there seem to be a point where some women accommodate this 'trade off' position in their lives. For these womwn, perhaps the efforts made to ensure that they are told they are beautiful may be viewed as, perhaps, 'the means to an end' outcome. Although I have my preference, I will continue to enjoy seeing beautiful women around me; whether they are naturally beautiful or contrived as beautiful.

Your comments are true indeed.
