Definition: delighting the senses or exciting intellectual or emotional admiration; "a beautiful child"; "beautiful country"; “beautiful woman”.

According to the definition above, term “beautiful” is multidimensional, but here we focus on humans’ beauty only, basically women. I think that this term in mass-media and specifically on Internet is completely wrongly interpreted. Or more precisely, individuals, who are considered as beautiful could be not beautiful at all for some members of society or different cultural groups in different countries.

Let me make short explanation of my point of view:

1. Subjective factors:

1.1. The potential winners of the title “beautiful” are chosen by restricted groups of people (the “Ms World”, “Ms Universe” and other Misses competitions).
1.2. TV shows, films, Internet facilities actually arrange promotion campaign which actually thrust promoters’ opinion on audience.
1.3. In some cases big businesses is involved and invest money in actors, film stars, singers, models, who gradually become prominent figure through PR technologies. In some cases some physical qualities of celebrities are corrected through surgery. And of course make-up and beauty treatment is used.

2. Objective factors

2.1. You never know all details of a “beautiful” women, since negative details are either skillfully hidden or it is just impossible to get that kind of information through used technical facilities – movies, TV, images, DVD etc.
2.2. I have great confidence that important part (which is generally hidden) of genuine beauty consists of details. It is, for instance condition, specific qualities of skin which differs in individuals by color, physical sensation when you touch it etc.
2.3. Hairiness which some people consider as negative factor and others as important component of beauty.
2.4. It could be very small physical details, which could be disclosed in close contact only – shape of bones, form of joints, elasticity soft tissues etc. etc.
2.5. It is also smell of a body which nowadays is considered as very important factor which could attract people to each other and influence their minds.
2.6. The taste of skin or saliva which also is very individual and could influence final decision on the issue of overall beauty.

I will think on the above mentioned further and enrich above said with more ideas. I also urge you to participate in this “scientific” analysis and send your observations to this section of the web-site

And even more, I think that sexuality and beauty are completely different things: look at these small images of painting of Persian perception of beautiful women (you can login and download for free 6 high resolution images from here).

I am European, but I think these women are extremely attractive, but nothing to do with sexuality in my opinion. They are just beautiful.
What I try to say here is that we all have our beauties around. We could recall a few women or men from our past or today's life which were more beautiful then Sophia Loren or, say, more sexual and attractive then Brad Pitt. It’s very personal! And I am proud of the fact that such extremely beautiful (in my opinion) women were (and currently are) my friends and sweethearts.

I will provide some images from my private collection and there is no way to mention well-known beauties here, but selected according to my personal taste.
