That's Life

Here's a muse about beauty. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Ok so maybe that isn't exactly the most astonishing statement of the year and it sounds very cliche but what the heck I think it's true.

In my opinion, beauty can be divided into two categories - conventional beauty and unconventional beauty. Beauty can also be divided into other categories - for example cute, hot and pretty. Uh I just want to say that I'm not making any particular references here.

Anyway, on to the main point. I believe many people focus on conventional beauty. They, and by they I mean the general male population, believe a beautiful girl to hold true to the stereotype of long hair, skinny frame and pretty face. I mean, this is pretty crappy. I believe that there is no definite criteria for beauty. By this I mean the standards which we judge the opposite sex will always differ from person to person. Of course, this is because each person has his own taste and preference and it is impossible to impose a one-size-fit-all definition of beauty because it simply will not work. So, basically the idea that I am trying to put across is that just because a girl is not perceived to be beautiful by many people, it does not mean that she is not beautiful at all; rather it is the case that her features appeal to many people and not the case that her features do not appeal to everybody.

As you all can see, there is no such thing as an un-pretty girl but only a girl who is not appreciated by the general public for her appearance. Yay. Ok all you girls can start clapping now.
