Let’s cut to the chase and not get so sentimental. There are thousands of ways of defining beauty.
Nature’s beauty. Inner beauty. When-my-dog-sleeps kind of beauty. A tender moment between two love birds.

Allow me then to focus on the kind of beauty we all obsess over: A woman’s beauty.

What makes a woman beautiful?

No matter what race, age or religion, a woman is beautiful when she’s confident.
When she’s intelligent, cultured and capable of carrying an insightful conversation.
When she's well-mannered.
When she is nice.
When she treats people with respect.
When she is kind.
When she’s a good friend.
When she feels sexy and it shows.
When she takes care of her body.
When her hair is clean and well groomed.
When her skin is flawless and embellished with the right touch of makeup.
When her teeth are straight and white, and her face wears an easy smile.
When her body carries a normal weight.
When she walks with confidence.
When she has a good sense of style and is not afraid to wear high heels.
When she has good sense of humor.

That’s beauty to me.

Great comments! I agree profusely with most of what you said. Except there are three that I must dispute; why does a woman's skin have to be flawless and why does she need makeup to be beautiful? Why do her teeth have to be straight? What is a 'normal weight'? I know what you wrote is your opinion, and I respect that completely. I am simply voicing my own opinion. :) Welcome to the site, by the way. ^_^ Keep it up.

It's a superficial thought, I know. We unfortunately live in a cultural bubble that thrives on vanity. But like I said, I wanted to get a direct thought on beauty. Those physical attributes add to the equation, I think. I once read an article on how scientists define physical beauty. Trust me, it was pretty brutal. They talked about geometrical measures of the face, bone structures and the such. Crazy stuff. On the healthy weight point: I should've emphasized that anorexic and bony girls are not beautiful. I'd much rather have some meat on my bones, boobs and a bun than look like Victoria Beckham! Thanks for your comment.

My stepmother always said "Pretty is as pretty does." You are right, gracious and loving behavior will make the plainest women look beautiful. Thanks for the reminder.
