Beauty

Beauty is a timeless treasure that guys seek. We (guys) have an unquenchable thirst for beauty. Of course not all of us (guys) end up with the most beautiful girls. But there are not too many guys who actively seek ugly women.

I once put a personal ad on Craigslist that stated in the headline "Ugly Women Only!". I got more replies to that ad than any other ad I've ever posted. Actually some of the girls who replied were kinda cute and funny.

If I had one wish fulfilled, it would be that all women were super hot babe-a-licious babes. If no girl on earth was even plain, much less butt ugly, guys would judge girls entirely on personality. YES! Imagine if God made all girls hotter than Pamela Anderson (Lee?). If all girls just looked perfect, then guys could only choose a girl based on her personality characteristics. All that would matter would be who a girl was, rather than what she looked like.

Man, we guys would be doubly happy. I would be looking for girls who just had a great sense of humor, loved sports, dancing, singing, laughing, etc. It would be so much easier. I could date any girl and would be equally satisfied with her physical appearance. Sometimes I think that God punishes men by not making all women equally hot! If they were all perfectly beautiful, lust would never be an issue amongst men.

Shoot, look at animals. I don't think there's really a beauty scale that they actively rate each other. Amongst all living beings, I'd say that humans place the greatest significance upon appearance. We filter our friends and lovers initially on looks. When's the last time you've seen a guy or girl actively look for a physically disabled partner? Or a fat one? Or a short one? Dogs and cats mate with almost any other dog or cat that moves. That's why we have muts and mixed breed cats. In the end, looks don't matter as much for animals. We could learn something from our pets.
