Why is beauty so important in a person?

Question

Why is beauty so important in a person?

Answer 1

It's all about breeding. The female is supposed to choose the one best suited for proliferating the clan.

Even infants experience physical attraction.

Answer 2

Beauty is important to most and on different levels.

For the vain:

The hair, makeup, jewelry, outfit, shoes, handbags/attache case, and car need to be perfect at all times to maintain their social status.

          Everything they do revolves around looking their best in public.

This outwardly display of beauty is only a facade and hides what lies beneath.

For the humble:

Their thoughts, words, and actions must always be beautiful in every aspect of their lives and everything they do; both at work and at home.

This type of beauty rarely exist in today's society but is a 'beauty' in it's own right..

Which type of beauty do you portray?

Answer 3

you presuppose it IS.

Answer 4

I read the thoughts of an ancient Rabbi once.  I think he was of the Babylonian tradition, and this by the by, was before I even knew I was Jewish.  The Rabbi wrote, and I am paraphrasing;

"God meant this world, and everything in it, to be beautiful.  Beauty is harmony with heaven, ugliness, on the other hand, is disharmony.  Nothing is more beautiful to a newly married couple than their new born baby, and nothing is uglier, than the appearance and stench of a rotting corpse.  Therefore life is beauty, and death is ugliness.  We are attracted to beauty, because beauty is in closest harmony with heaven, indeed, what lies within a man's heart, ultimately determines the beauty of his daughter."

When you consider the rampant wickedness in the United States, and how unatractive and quite frankly atrociously ugly the majority of American women are, I think there is a lot of truth in what that Rabbi said.  If a girl is born unatractive, she has no one to blame but her father.  If a poor thing is born without physical assets its not her you should criticize, its her father for being such an @sshole.

Israelis constantly rub into American Jew's faces, how much prettier Israeli girls are over American Jewish girls.  They rub it in their faces because all Jews are likely aware of that ancient belief; that a man's heart determines the beauty of his daughter.  Indeed part of the reason Jewish communities the world over respect the Japanese, is because of the seemingly disproportionate number of beautiful girls in that country.  Many Jews respect the Japanese because obviously such a rampant number of beautiful girls, means that their fathers must be good people.

In that case you gotta be pissed off at Americans; for killing people, for unfairly incarcerating minorities, and to add insult to injury, breeding ugly women to gross out the world.  Also genetics has absolutely nothing to do with this, nor do your looks have a say in the matter, this is purely a mystical thing more or less, rooted in the person's very soul.  If you have a situation where a notoriously wicked man has a beautiful daughter, all that means is that his wife had that child with someone else.

It can also explain why some households are unbalanced; that is why some girls are born beautiful, while the little sister is ugly as h**l.  Different fathers, or, the woman's husband changed from a good man, to a very bad one, as he advanced in his career and the power went to his head.  As his heart becomes blacker and blacker, his poor younger daughter ends up paying the price.

Even a good man can become a bad one; that is why you see households were the oldest daughter is jaw droppingly gorgeous, the man fathered her on his wife, in a time when he was young, down to earth, struggling in his career, etc.  Fast forward 5 years and the youngest daughter is ugly as sin, because as the power of having a high position went to his head again, according to Hebrew lore (Hebrew, not Jewish, big difference), his poor younger daughter ends up paying for it.

That is why sometimes you will see couples who are very  unatractive but their daughters are born beautiful and people often think "how the h**l is that possible!?"  I'll tell you how; it likely has to do with the soul.

Because there is no adequate scientific explanation.  Think of China; people who have been there have told me that the attractive asian girls you see here in America are nothing.  China is full of stunning women.  If a Chinese man will marry an unatractive Chinese American woman, it is because in China itself he is used to beautiful women.  In other words he learns to over look appearances.

It happens all the time actually, from what I saw in college.

The Hebrew Rabbi argued, that we are all attracted to beauty, because true beauty, is close to heaven.  Think for a second; hispanics of latin america, are generally very nice people.  Think about what their women look like.  Russians also have a reputation for being nice folks, so, you have a man that looks like a total dog, a typical macho Russian and what does his daughter look like?  A 6'1 leggy stunner.

If you want a pretty daughter, sorry man, its as much as what is inside of you, as what is inside whoever you marry.  Its not about looks.  Although I'll admit that kind of creates a catch 22 doesn't it?  If a girl is born ugly because her father is an @sshole, what is to stop her father's @ssholes from causing so much suffering she will eventually not become black hearted herself?  Thus perpetuating generation after generation of ugly people, and pretty soon your culture thinks that "ugly is normal; average" when it isn't.

Honestly, people as hideous as the British can not be what God intended.  Women as ugly as British women can not possibly be what God intended, so I would be inclined to agree with that ancient Rabbi, I personally believe women were meant to be beautiful, it is the darkness, and wickedness in the hearts of men, which causes the overabundance of ugly women in the Anglo Sphere, and Germany.  Italy generally has prettier women, obviously enough, because Italians are nicer than Germans, generally.  Also home grown Italian girls are prettier than the majority of Italian American girls, because Italian Americans for the most part are turds.  The "nice Italian boy" is extinct.

As for myself, I was born with a comical appearance; the Rabbi spoke of "beauty" and "ugliness" but he never said anything about "funny looking," so I haven't got a clue what that means.  Look at my Yahoo avatar's face.

That is what I look like.  I'm not joking; sans the bug eyes, I REALLY look like that!  I'M NOT KIDDING; I DO!!!!

The Rabbi said "beauty" and he said "ugliness" but he did not say "comical."  Although I suppose being born with a comical appearance means that my mom has a mischievous nature.  Its the same thing with girls whose appearance is comical; it must mean dad must be a mischievous person.

Which is more important?  Obviously the beauty inside, because it helps you overlook outer ugliness.

With American women though, ugly goes to the bone marrow.  

I have said this for a long, long time now, relative to my age (I'm 27, turning 28 later this year); if the majority of American women were beautiful, Hugh Hefner would not have his fortune.  Playboy is big in the Anglosphere, but it is not nearly so big in places like Latin America or Japan.  Because there are more than enough pretty women to go around in those places, who honestly needs playboy.

One of the things Russians enjoy doing, is laughing at Americans; a Russian friend of mine once told me American men were practically g*y given how masculine the women here were.  Same with Germans; do not be too shocked, neither Germans nor Americans are too well liked in Russia.  Russians p**s me off though; all those hot chicks and yet the dumb@sses can't run a good country, they have to wallow in corruption.  You would think they would apreciate the fact that they have some of the world's most gorgeous women by building a good country for them, but they haven't yet.

Ultimately though, the importance of beauty, again, a Rabbi argued, has to do with "that is what God intended."  Also, a truly beautiful woman is beautiful from head to foot; she has a properly proportioned, harmonious bone structure.  She does not have enormous thighs and a near ridiculously small-by-comparison upper boddy (the infamous triangle shape), nor does she have out of proportion shoulders.  Her bone structure, and the female Alexandrian Mathematician of Greek origin Hypatia proved this, when she said, that a beautiful woman's body is a "harmony of mathematical precision and symetry."

A girl is born with a stunning face but a flat behind, sorry, she's not beautiful.  It has to be complete, and harmonious, head to toe, like a Japanese girl.  Same applies to guys actually, looking at it from a bodybuilder's perspective.  You ever see some full blooded native american women from latin america?  Head to toe, many of them look like they were sculpted by a master sculptor above Michaelangelo.  That must mean full blooded natives of latin america must be kind folks.

There is also something else, to answer a question you have no doubt been asking "but if everyone is pretty, won't that eliminate variety?"

Not really; Marquardt's beauty mask, which is based on Hypatia's calculations actually, has proven that there can be both variety AND symetry.  That is, everyone in the world can be a person of harmonious mathematical precision, as the Rabbi argued "the way god intended," and still no two people will look exactly the same.  

In the middle east, generally, Emirati and Saudi Arab girls tend to be hideously ugly, with some being stunners, but the prettiest girls in the middle east are not in Israel, nor are they in Egypt although Egypt IS shock full of beautiful women, the prettiest girls in the middle east, are in Jordan and Lebanon.  Obviously enough, because both those countries have the nicest men in the region, whereas Saudi and Emirati arabs, are for the most part, a bunch of turds.

In Israel, the prettiest girls are almost always of Misrahi origin; you won't see them doing modeling work, because it is a deeply conservative society where they see the display of a woman as obscene.  With the ashkenazi in Israel, its a 50/50 deal; either they are jaw dropping stunners, or horrendously ugly insults to womanhood, but among the ashkenazi there seems to be no inbetween.

Beauty though, is a catch 22; you are born pretty because one of your parents, or both of them, have kind hearts, but, to stay pretty, your bloodline down the generations I mean, you can't let it go to your head.  Otherwise your kids will be born ugly; there have been countless beauties, who have given birth to ugly girls, throughout human history.  Generally great beauties born in the anglosphere, because they have no competition the fact that they are a minority will either go to their head, or, largely out of loneliness from being a part of a minority they will attempt to be good people.  That is why in the anglo sphere beautiful women are either saints (like model Sharon Tate), or the devil in the flesh.

Again; beautiful women, a full half of them, will get full of themselves because in this country at least, they have no competition.  Part of the animosity against Latinas, and Asian girls, is that most white women just can't stand them, they just can not live with the envy.  Even an otherwise considered beautiful girl who travels to Japan will find a "rival" there who is more than a match for her beauty wise.  The reason, that in the western world, there is a height requirement of 5'10, is to keep women from Latin America and east Asia out of the running.  In fact, the only reason American women dominated beauty contests in the 1950's, is because of that height requirement, once it was reduced to 5'8 though (actually I think its 5'7 now), more Latin women could compete, and ever since then not a single American woman has won the contest.

The modeling world however, has not changed its height requirement, largely out of tradition now than racist reasons, although, the reasons that height requirement was put there in the first place were indeed racist.  The truth is, white people have known, since the colonial era, that most of the world surpasses their women beauty wise.  When the idea of beauty contests rolled along, and the idea of modeling, naturally they only wanted white women in there so they had a height requirement of 5'10 which only white and black women can meet.  China, among the Manchu, there are many curvaceus, 6'0 tall stunners who COULD model.  They have the beauty, and the body for it, and many of them are far prettier than the girls China sends to beauty pageants.  The reason the girls China sends are generally not as attractive as the girls found in China itself, is because China is still a conservative society, and there is no way in h**l, a Chinese father, especially a Manchu father, will let his daughter "debase herself" in a beauty contest.  The truth is, China has more than its share of 6'0 tall women, many of them that COULD model, but their parents won't let them.

Part of the reason I hate this country is because I feel like I am stuck in a prison full of ugly women with a nasty attitude, so, I wanna get the h**l out, so I can be around prettier women.  Honestly the standards of American girls are way too freaking high for what they are actually worth.  That is like an unemployed bum asking for a virgin that looks like model Donna Feldman.

For an American woman, to ask for the type of man she asks for, is the same thing as an unemployed bum, asking for a woman who is still a virgin, who looks like Donna Feldman.  Nobody says anything about it, and the only reason no one says anything is because the women making such demands are white, and on whiteness alone they seem to have the "right" to have such "standards."

Now don't get me wrong; no way, in f*cking h**l, would I approach someone like Donna Feldman with no job, and no money.

No guy on this planet, wants to be unemployed and constantly screwed by the system, and a malicious b*tch.  You can not blame a woman for not wanting an unemployed man; a woman does not want such a man, anymore than a man wishes to be in that situation.

However, when you have a situation, where a gorgeous woman marries a billionaire, over a handsome young doctor who makes six figures I'm sorry man but, that just ain't cool.  Its not a good look man; I feel that handsome, physically fit young doctors, or lawyers, or professionals, should get first pick on gorgeous women, over ugly billionaires.  Sorry feminists, just how I feel.

The worst woman, is a woman who marries an ugly billionaire.  The better woman is the woman who picks a handsome young doctor, over the ugly billionaire.

The best woman, is a woman that will be with you, even if you only make 50k and yes she's gorgeous, and yes she has faith you will succeed.

A gorgeous woman that will be with you if you're unemployed come on now, that is asking too much.

American girls though, do not seem shy about "asking too much" even if they've been around the block a few times.  The guy equivalent of a "virgin," is, well, a handsome young doctor who has only been with 4 women.

Yet, that is precisely what American s****s want.

Sorry man, it just ain't right in my book, its part of the reason I think this country should be blown to h**l.

If I had a job, and success myself?

Damned straight I would ask Donna Feldman out then.  If I was rich?  I'd probably purchase state of the art supplements so that I could get fit enough to compete with handsome young doctors.

Sorry, but I don't like the idea of being a pot bellied "powerful man."

Yeah, with his great round belly, his jowl that goes down to his chest, his face like a catcher's mit, and over all the disgusting physical condition of his body, the king of saudi arabia is a "powerful man."

He just exudes it!

Part of the reason the governator won in a landslide that California recall election is because EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET wants a leader like arnold.  Someone who is actually fit, and strong.

Indeed kings of old, Richard the lionhearted of England, and even Henry VIII when he was younger, many English kings prior to this generation were all muscular men.

Honestly, regarding world leaders, what the h**l happened?

Honestly what happened!?

Charles Atlas had a point you know; he stated once about, how would it look, if he was selling his fitness system and gone out of his way to be a leader to young men everywhere if he had a great round belly?  How would it look?

That way of thinking applies to world leaders; to me there is nothing more disgusting in my mind than a "powerful man" with a great round belly, with a stunning woman in his arm.

King Abdullah had potential; when he newly married Queen Rania, he was like, buff.  If you saw pictures of him when he was newly wed, he looked like a stout but muscular man now.....

Honestly his majesty what happened!?

It is a terrible, terrible thing, to see a man deteriorate.  Charles Atlas was fit until the day he died, in fact, he died jogging.

Here is the story of his death; he woke up one morning, he did his morning exercises as always, went for his 7 mile jog, finished and when he got home he said "honey, my chest hurts I don't feel so good, I need to lie down...."

Next thing you know he falls asleep, and never woke up.

Now THAT is a good way to die.

Beats the h**l out of slowly croaking, rotting in a nursing home with god knows what exotic old age disease in screaming torment and brutal agony while "children" decide your fate doesn't it?

food for thought, sorry for being long winded.

peace out.

Answer 5

I think beauty is important because it is such a rare quality to have on the inside.  So many people only believe their life is anything and everything outside of their body, including materialistic objects that they relate to.  I believe we were all born with a beautiful diamond on the inside. The only issue is that we have to be the ones to buff and polish that diamond to make it sparkle so others can see it a mile away.  This is not an easy task and that is why you rarely see people working on their essence.  It is easier to get a new hair cut, new make up, and expensive clothes.  All of these things do not make us who we are.  

Thanks for reading!

Answer 6

I honestly don't know. When you're beautiful, everyone listens to you. I think it's a human nature thing-the prettier you are, the more you'll be heard.

Answer 7

Because of the historical genetic record.  It generally portends superiority in one way or another.

Answer 8

well the person who asked this is obviously ugly

Answer 9

I find people obsessed with beauty to be shallow minded and vain.

Answer 10

it is one thing to look good for your self, but to look good just to have everyone look at you is another thing, beauty is only skin deep, it is what is in your heart that counts, (it is a shame that the world today is based on looks)

Answer 11

When you are pretty, it might make you feel more...wanted or more important. People like to make first impressions because that's the only thing the person might have to make someone like you.

Who doesn't wanna be pretty? It's about self-assurance as well.

Answer 12

I'm not sure that it is....and it's a good job, too....I have never been considered a thing of beauty (well, as a very small child I was considered so - but, I have no photos of myself when young, so have only my mother's word for it)

Answer 13

It shouldn't be, however it is what we look like that gives people their first impressions of us.  Once you get older you will understand that beauty is only temporary and not very important in the scope of life.

Answer 14

Inner beauty makes up for it, if one is not outerly beautiful.

Answer 15

Beauty is important to people because of the way the media portrays beautiful people. Beauty = love according to the media. And everyone wants that. So the world will forever be trying to become the most beautiful and the most loved.

Answer 16

Well. I can honestly say that I don't know.

People have become too fascinated in looking pretty, finding pretty, and breathing pretty. I think that beauty wouldn't have so much of an effect if the media didn't stick it in magazines and tv.  

Answer 17

Not outwardly beauty--if that's what you mean. Pretty is nothing. Pretty is not going to get you a job or give you an easy living. It's just a mask, a scam.

Inwardly beauty is the most crucial.
