Every day we hear that outer beauty is nothing but a question of chance. Some individuals were a little luckier at birth than others and were blessed with a pretty face, a perfect figure and an irresistible smile. “So what?”, they say. “You have your own type of beauty, yes it is not your face, but your temper, your ability to love others and care about them, you creativity and inner characteristics”! No doubt, you feel that a man is more than a mere shell, but all the same, deep in our soul you feel disappointed and fooled. Why so?

To learn the answer let us have a realistic look at modern styles of life and the public opinion prompted by the mass media. Every entertainment and show on TV, every single advertisement, the bulk of articles in different journals and magazines give you the same - you should do this and that to be zippy, young, healthy and beautiful! In fact, money, energy, youth, beauty and sex appeal are the tin goods forced on us these days. If you cannot give your friends a lift in a brand new BMW, desolation is your fate! If you are not beautiful enough, you life is over! If your muscles are not big enough you will doubtlessly finish your empty existance in the gutter! If you breasts are not large and perky enough, you will never get anywhere, so stop trying! If you are over forty you are too old - give the way to teens or they will kick you out of their way! Judging by our mass culture the whole world goes crazy and we are absolutely happy about it… Do you still need more evidences to see why you feel so ill at ease when special trainings and psychological counsels start feeding you with inner beauty that is far more important that a mere mortal body!

There is a shocking gap between what mass culture tells us and what certain specialists say. Of course you cannot find a foundation to rest at! Let us try to dissect this problematic term to get a pretty good idea of what beauty is! It will help you understand whether you wish to be the slave of your mortal shell or try to realize what you are like deep inside your soul!

We speak about beauty to characterize any person, creature, place, object, phenomenon or idea that we perceive with a feeling of joy and satisfaction. Beauty is an essential part of aesthetics, psychology and culture of every nation in the world. The ideal of beauty is a type of perfection existing in one’s imagination but impossible to reach in reality.

If fact, the feeling of beauty is nothing but a combination of natural harmony and balance in every detail, it makes a human being, creature, place, object, phenomenon or idea in question incredibly attractive and nice for persons perceiving it. It is an absolutely subjective experience, maybe that is why there is a saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

The etymology of the word “beauty” can explain some aspects of today’s term. The Greek equivalent of the word “beautiful” - “horaios” literally means “being of one’s hour” - so, ripe fruits of the time were believed to be beautiful. At the same historical epoch young girls who tried to look older as well as old women who tried to look younger were not viewed as beautiful at all! Beautiful meant “good in its time”, that is why old men and women and even crippled warriors were considered just as beautiful as young and healthy persons. Can you find anything of the kind in our up-to-date society proclaiming the epoch of equality and human rights?

You will be surprised to learn that babies very early acquire a preference for beautiful faces; in fact it is a type of cognitive standard any human is born with! No wonder the universal notions of beauty and attractiveness are the same across all cultures and genders. Number one constituent of beauty is symmetry. The explanation is rather simple here - we all prefer symmetry and proportion because it is the proof of absence of any genetic or acquired flaws. No wonder ancient people really treasured symmetry.

So, the Pythagorean school found special charm in the golden ratio and proclaimed the beauty of every person and object corresponding definite mathematic rules. Ancient Greeks showed their love of symmetry and proportion having erected a number of marvelous buildings, immaculate statues of men and women etc. Renaissance Europe restored this old idea of beauty that is why even today we call definite types of male and female body and face proportion a “classical beauty”.

Speaking about outer beauty it is foolish to forget that we are a part of nature, we are creatures sharing basic instincts with the majority of mammals on the Earth. No wonder that our instincts influenced by the strength of our intellect disguise themselves as certain habits, tastes, emotions, likes and dislikes. In fact the ideals of male and female beauty are based on the qualities necessary for reproduction and survival of the human race. Surprised? OK, here are some hints for understanding the nature of beauty of the opposite sex!

You will not deny the fact that individuals who are rather young, with smooth skin, well-proportioned bodies and regular features are always considered to be appealing throughout the history of mankind. You can be absolutely sure you liked your mate for his or her intelligence, grace, politeness, sense of humor, elegance etc. You are absolutely right, but underlining the features like this, you forget about the fact that your spouse has body as well! What about his or her state of health, youthfulness, facial symmetry, smell etc?

One more amazing fact for you - average appearance is the most attractive for the bulk of people. Remember, we have certain inborn instincts in us? The logic is we are attracted to mates of our own species to guaranty reproduction! The average image of the mate is a kind of icon for us; that is why average looks is the most treasured one. Latest research showed that a number of humans found a computer generated average image more attractive than individual images of real people having certain specific features!

What are the determinants of male physical attractiveness? As newest research showed, heterosexual women and homosexual men prefer:

- heavy brows, prominent chins, heavy jaws and broad cheekbones associated with increased testosterone and being a reliable indication of good health;
- symmetrical faces and bodies showing of good inheritance and ability to create healthy kids;
- slim waist, broad shoulders and muscular chest (so called v-shaped torso) associated with increased testosterone, too;
- height - 80% of women dream of a male blessed with the height of 6 feet or taller for long-term commitment and the opposite male when a short-term affair is intended;
- moderate amount of trunk hair.

What are the determinants of female physical attractiveness? As newest research showed, heterosexual men prefer:

- waist-to-hip ratio of about 0.70 because females with hourglass figures are more fertile than other women due to higher levels of certain female hormones, and this fact subconsciously lures the men choosing mates;
- symmetrical face and body being a reliable indication of good inheritance and ability to create healthy offsprings;
- big eyes, dilated pupils, small chin and nose, high eyebrows and wide smile;
- women 2.5 - 7 years younger than their mates;
- indicators of youth like high firm breasts, smooth skin, clear eyes, long and lustrous hair;
- full (not large) breasts as a signal of fertility;
- erect posture and normal body mass index (neither too thin nor too plump);
- long legs as a subconscious sign of good health (not merely aesthetic feature).

Sorry to say that, natural standards of beauty are dangerously influenced by mass culture. There is a real threat of degeneration of human race if the media continue determining what is or is not beautiful for us the way they do it these days! For example, ultra-skinny models promote disorders in the heads of many individuals. Glamorous movie idols force ordinary young humans try and fit into extremely narrow standards of TV beauty. Easy excess to pornographic pictures and videos creates false conceptions of natural body proportions. Do not forget that the teens are the most vulnerable group of human society and they have to face it day by day! What can be done in a situation like this? Keep fit and healthy because real beauty can not exist without perfect health. Have enough sleep, entertainment, physical exercise and recreation. Give up harmful habits - being disappointed with your life is one of them, too! Think positive, find time for hanging out with your friends and reaching your goals. Be very careful about your meals because we are what we eat! Make sure your body gets every important vitamin and mineral. If you fall ill take the complete course of treatment. If you cannot bear standing in line visit any good discount internet pharmacy to save you time and money.

If you choose to purchase affordable medications online, you will get perfect service and fast delivery saying nothing of splendid discounts. And the most important point to fulfill! Be yourself, because trying to become someone else in equally painful and dangerous.
