What makes a woman beautiful?

For me, beauty is something that everybody has. We don't need to submit to a social stereotype to be called beautiful. I am skinny, tan, near sighted, dorky, and is a self-confessed geek. Not so many people would tell me I'm beautiful, but I always tell myself I am. Everybody should believe in themselves and be confident that they are beautiful in their own way. People can mock, judge or underestimate us, but we should always shut them down, because God never made anything ugly. A woman who exudes confidence, grace and strength is beautiful...regardless of what others say or think.

I think beauty always comes from within. Beauty on the outside will always fade but inner beauty is very rare and is a treasure!

That's so true. The reason behind this discussion is that I want to impart a confidence-boosting thought to all women who think less of themselves. I believe we have to learn to embrace everything about us, including our flaws and imperfections.

I also think that the real beauty of woman comes from inside. I think the personality and character makes the woman beautiful.

Shadawn1 said correct, beauty always comes from within, I agree with you.outside of beauty does not stay forever, so beauty inside is forever.

What makes a woman beautiful is her mind, manner, gait, consideration of others before herself and always thinking of how she can help. She is careful of her conduct, careful not to hurt intentionally, and careful of her morality. She is also easy to talk with and confident without being arrogant. In fact she would make the perfect friend.

You said it right. A woman's beauty best comes from the inside, radiates through her and makes her stunning on the outside. :)

Hi lizziegee, I think physical beauty is important as this is the first thing that attracts a man to a lady. Looks comes first followed by other traits. So whether the relationship is successful or not will depend a lot on other things. If you talking about beauty of character then I agree with you that whether one is good looking or not it doesn't matter in the end. Have a beautiful day.

Of course. Most men, if not all, are superficial. Let's face it, men want to be seen with a pretty woman in their arms. But the clincher is that men's taste vary, too. They look at women differently, because beauty is objective for me. All women will find that one man who will see them as the most beautiful woman ever to step on earth. :)

Upon saying saying all these things without looking at your physical features i can already tell that you are very beautiful ! I don't see beauty in outward features but in what is behind that beautiful face. Having positive outlook and bearing those values are enough to make a woman very beautiful and attractive . We don't need those accessories to appear beautiful , all we need to have is the decency , integrity and values . Those are the beauty that won't fade and vanish , it will be with the woman until she grows old , the every lasting beauty.

Hi Angel. Thank you very much for the compliment. I had some people tell me I was ugly way back in grade school. I remember crying whenever those bullies mock me, but I know better now. I have learned that we don't need anybody's thought about our personal beauty, because we all are. I guess every girl should realize that. :)

I agree with you. We should just be confident about ourselves. If we start believing in ourselves, it will radiate and will make us even more beautiful than we already are.

Beauty comes from within and it not always facial beauty. It is the personality of a person that brings out the beauty from within. Some people are beautiful looking from the outside. However, once you talk with them or see the true person they are they could end up being less beautiful or even more beautiful depending on their personality. It is never all about facial beauty it is all about the way you treat people, having respect for yourself, and how you help others, and your all around personality. That is the true beauty of a women.

Very well said. Some people do not believe in the inside beauty, but it's great to hear that many people share my belief about that. I believe that a woman's beauty shines more when she knows her self-worth and when she carries herself well.

Yeah I agree with you, every woman should believe that they all are beautiful, they should have their confident. I'm pretty sure every woman has their own beauty, their own attractiveness, whether from inside or outside.

I personally find a woman beautiful or ugly by the way she looks.So to answer your question,a woman that has the physical features that I find attractive in a woman is what makes her beautiful to me. I will add that what makes a woman beautiful to me doesn't necessarily makes her desirable.Her personality and other personal qualities such as her philosophy of life,values,mentalities,tastes,etc. are what make her desirable.

beauty belongs to your heart not to your body. if you are heart is beautiful then you will be beautiful.try to make your heart beautiful.facial only makes your face and appearance beautiful that is not real beauty. I think you are so beautiful then you will also so beautifulbeauty of your body can get damage but beauty of the heart can not get damaged.

you will be beautiful if you feel you are.. it is a matter of confidence and how you will handle yourself and how will you present yourself.. i also believe that being beautiful should start first in your inside or what is in your heart because it will reflect on your aura and everything will follow.. and for me being beautiful is taking care of yourself such as proper diet and exercise..

Right! Even if we know we were all created beautiful, it doesn't hurt to sometimes exert some effort to look even better. It could be something to pamper and spoil yourself, like getting a facial or a pedicure.

All women are beautiful, except those who do not understand how to make them beautiful. e.g. a woman do not have good looking physically but she has inner beauty, she is honest, patient, generous, she will very beautiful and she off course would make her performance become neat, clean and confident because she has enough knowledge.

I second the motion. All women are beautiful. I believe that we should realize that each one of us is blessed with our own unique beauty which makes us who we are.

I've been with a lot of women before. But if there is one thing that really makes me say a woman is beautiful if she displays the beauty within her heart

Normally every girl/woman has her own beauty features by body as well as by mind. Some girls/women who are considered as less beautiful have surprised me by their own particular beauteous attitudes/styles etc which girls/women considered as more beautiful can't have due to their willful efforts to be above normal concepts about "beautiful girl/woman".

you already define on what makes a woman beautiful and it can be seen in the part of your discussion, of course. well for me, a beauty will depend on the beholder of the eye, as what the common saying goes. indeed it is true. a mother would be so beautiful upon taking care of his child and giving the needs of him/her. a wife would play her part and improve what lacks in her or keeping the things that make her husband happy about, and this thing made her beautiful in the eyes of her husband; even this thing are just simple task complied by the wife for him and much more. for me, not to disgrace the women with tan skin or darker skin tone (me, myself has this kind of skin tone also)i observed that the woman looks great when she has a good and fair skin. and that i do not know why she looks so stunning even if she is not so beautiful, so that is according to me. everything is wonderful in this world for God created us equally.:) thanks for this

Supposedly what the scientists say make a women beautiful is all about the symmetry of the face. You are supposed to have the same space exactly between your forehead to nose and then nose to chin. That is what hollywood call a beautiful women.

I think that what makes a person truly beautiful is the heart. It is not only the heart to love other people. It is also the heart she shows when she does this. It's how passionate she is with her work. It's how fair she is with people. It is her strength to love others that makes her truly beautiful. To allow herself to be vulnerable despite knowing that she can get hurt is also another wonderful aspect of a woman.
