what is beauty? definition of a beautiful girl
Anyone in the streets can tell you their personal definition of beauty: who they think is beautiful and who isn’t. And the surprising thing is that despite the common saying that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", people will come to roughly the same conclusions of what is beauty.
In a recent paper entitled "What is beauty anyway?" came to the following conclusions: when asked what is beauty, men would say that a beautiful woman boils down to two characteristics:
1. Happy.
2. Healthy.
Notice in the characteristics’ description, there is no specific mention about girl's figure; perhaps they fall somewhere in the healthy category! Is this answer to "What is beauty" too simplistic? Let’s take a close look.
1:Happy.
Babies are naturally attracted to happy faces. This is why when you smile they would smile too. They are natural reflectors of how you feel, and they help define what is beauty. When we are happy, our brain let off adrenalin, there is light in our eyes, we walk with vigor, and we have hope for living. When we are down, our eyes are naturally downcast, our face tense up, we slouch and our mind is elsewhere. We tend to wear darker colors too, so as not to bring attention to ourselves. Happy people attract others, while sad people tend to pull people away.
2:Healthy.
Being healthy doesn’t mean that we have to have the figure of Tomb Raider to meet the definition of beauty. Looking healthy means having good skin, being energetic and having no obvious disability or disfigurement. We all know the ways to achieve healthiness to various degrees--Eating right, sleeping well, exercising regularly and learning to manage stress in a appropriate manner.
Studies show that when we recognize a face as "beautiful" we are actually making a judgement about the health and vitality of that individual. We interpret facial symmetry (the similarity of left and right halves of a face) and the smoothness of the skin to mean that a person has good genes and has been free from diseases. This is part of what we mean by "beautiful" but it is just the beginning.
So dats all abt being beautifull. stay beautiful :)
