Most women want to know the secret on how to be beautiful. I will tell you my secret-- but first lets discuss what is means to be beautiful.

When did the concept of physical
attractiveness in terms of the social construct of beauty become an important
characteristic in mate selection and as a useful, valuable commodity that
human beings honor and cherish?
Have you ever noticed that the
more absolutely, gorgeous, and stylish your shoes are the more they hurt your
feet? Have you ever worn a dress that was so drop dead gorgeous, that
you could barely walk or breathe in it? I am sure that this is how the
phrase “drop-dead-gorgeous “originated.
A fancy, expensive car such
as the Lamborghini is nice to look at; but is it possible to pack your
children and their bikes in it to take them around the corner to the park?
The exquisitely, beautiful items in my home are not to be used or touched
without permission because they are too fragile and delicate to be handled.
The expensive, beautiful things that I own are only to be appreciated and
admired from a distance. Beauty becomes more significant when a person or an
object is not needed but desired. Eye candy is beautiful. Oatmeal not so much, but it is healthy and filling.
Take a moment, go back in time
10,000 years ago and imagine yourself as a hunter and gatherer. Remember, you
don’t have to get all dressed up to go to the market—you will hunt animals
and collect plants such as berries, fruits, nuts or whatever you are
lucky enough to find for dinner. Close your eyes and think about what you are
wearing.
Is your outfit comfortable? Do you look fat in your pants?
Does your blouse bring out the blue in your eyes? Can you run after a buffalo
comfortably in your heels? What about your hair? Is it in a fancy up-do, bouffant
hairstyle, finger waves or a sassy short Bob cut? What about your eye
shadow, lip-stick, and mascara did you remember to apply it perfectly before
preparing dinner?
The evolution of beauty in terms
of the comparison of physical attractiveness between humans is a byproduct of
a surplus of goods and resources and massive amounts of free time that led to
gender inequality between men and women. When men and women truly needed and
depended upon each other for survival, it didn’t matter what the other person
looked like.
When humans were no longer
preoccupied with the task of daily survival they stopped living through their
bodies; but over thinking everyday life through their heads. As hunters and
gatherers, they were lucky to have a mate. They didn’t think about where the
relationship was going or how much money that person made. Each person was
expected to contribute to the well-being of the group.
They didn’t have to live in their
heads and toil over what to eat for dinner. They didn’t have to worry
about what to cook for dinner because they knew that dinner would be whatever
they were lucky enough to kill or collect – and it would be delicious.
Once humans became domesticated
and they no longer needed to spend their time seeking shelter and food; they
had the free time to create beauty. They had the luxury of carving beautiful
designs on their bows.
Beauty evolved from the reality of living in the
moment, enjoying life, being present with real people; to the illusion of creating perfection in the future with selfies and posting images of one self onto social media to impress "friends" we have never met.
In my opinion the secret to being beautiful is to find a hobby that causes you to lose a sense of time and space. Become a doll maker, make doll clothes, and sip whatever beverage that makes you happy.
