For too long beauty has been defined by narrow, stifling stereotypes. Trust me, it needs to change. beauty is not [just] a pretty face anymore. Most of the successful superstars and models are not pretty but they project grace, class and confidence.
Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, races, ages and ethnicity.
The dictionary defines beauty as the qualities that give pleasure to the senses. So if a woman is beautiful, her face alone can't qualify as beauty - her grace, her personality and other qualities have to be put into consideration
A primary principle, is defined as such combined perfection of form and charm of coloring that gives keen pleasure to the sense of sight, that quality or combination of qualities which gives keen pleasure to other senses (eg, hearing), or which charms the intellectual or moral faculties, through inherent grace, or fitness to a desired end, an embellishment, ornament, grace, charm.
Beauty is defined by Plato as the Luster of Good. Emerson said, ';We ascribe beauty to that which is simple, which has no superfluous parts, which exactly answers its end.'; James Barry said, ';Beauty consists of unity and gradual
Enjoy this poem about beauty:
Beauty is a thing seldom seen No one sees it because no one looks
Or at least not in the right place
Beauty is held by all
Within the soul it lies
Waiting to come out to the surface
Only it can't
Beauty is suppressed by the evils of the world
Only love can bring beauty out
Once seen Beauty never hides again
Not even hatred can deny beauty
Of it's true design
Beauty although possessed by all
Will only ever be truly seen by few
And fewer yet will ever see
One of the most beautiful sights
The beauty held by you

A woman's real beauty is her soul. Love her soul and you will gain her love for life.Womens real beauty is by her makeup or dress or features?
thanx dear... tc n ve fun...!!!!! Report Abuse
Womens real beauty is by her makeup or dress or features?
women's real beauty does not lie on the three what you have said but lie on her kindheartedness and integrity
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What shines through is the heart. If its love. Otherwise it only ammounts to one night stands
A woman's real beauty is her inner self and her character.A woman can possess all the 3 features that you mentioned but cannot be called a beauty if is a shrew or ill mannered.The 3 qualities are just outside show the real one is from within.
Even a dirty,ugly woman is beautiful as a mother who brings her child in this world and despite all problems facing her strives to give a good,clean and educated life to her child so that he becomes a better person.
We salute a mother regardless of any of her exterior flaws.All women are borne to be mothers so they have their own aura of beauty.
We call our country Mother India and love ,cherish and protect her despite the calamities like earthquakes,or whether its stony,hilly area or plain land.
This should never be her only beauty to attract one. And I will tell you my b/f wouldn't be if i had to wear makeup daily. I rarely wear it. I am gorgeous without.
You can find at least 1 good thing about every woman. For your sake you aren't this petty and only look into these things other wise you may have a lot of sad relationship ahead.
Personality...
Some say the womans true beauty is from with in.I think a natural beauty is better that a false front beauty with makeup-fancy clothes.
I'll take a natural female with no make up or fancy dress any day.
All three add to that attitude and confidence.
All Women's are beautiful on this planet the only thing about are eyes bad or good watching them!
hummm.. her inner self. yu see a woman shapes up the man she marries ,
face.. body..follow later.
welll...id say a combination of 3 n their inner beauty(love,care,positive attitude) :}
the beauty is basically combination of many things and it is dependent on the person following it.
A careful make-up can someone attractive and willy. On the other hand some people like the natural beauty.
so it is complex.
all these and etc
intelligence
All help with confidence, but a person's heart and value system count for a lot more!!
Modesty and chastity , very important ideologies with Islam, are achieved by prescribing standards on behavior and the dress of a Muslim. A woman who adheres to the tenements of Islam is required to follow the dress code called Hijab, other synonymes are Veil, Purdah, or just Covering. It is an act of faith and establishes a Muslim's life with honor, respect and dignity. The Hijab is viewed as a liberation for women, in that the covering brings about ';an aura of respect'; (Takim, 22) and women are recognized as individuals who are admired for their mind and personality, ';not for their beauty or lack of it'; ( Mustafa ) and not as sex objects.
Contrary to popular belief, the covering of the Muslim woman is not oppression but a liberation from the shackles of male scrutiny and the standards of attractiveness. In Islam, a woman is free to be who she is inside, and immuned from being portrayed as sex symbol and lusted after. Islam exalts the status of a woman by commanding that she ';enjoys equal rights to those of man in everything, she stands on an equal footing with man '; (Nadvi, 11) and both share mutual rights and obligations in all aspects of life.
Men and women though equal are not identical, and eachcompliments the other in the different roles and functions that they are responsible to. '; From an Islamic perspective, to view a woman as a sex symbol is to denigrate her. Islam believes that a woman is to be judged by her [virtuous] character and actions rather than by her looks or physical features'; (Takim, 22). In the article, ';My Body Is My Own Business';, Ms. Naheed Mustafa , a young Canadian born and raised, university-educated Muslim woman writes, ';The Quran [ which is the Holy Book for Muslims] teaches us that men and women are equal, that individuals should not be judged according to gender, beauty, wealth or privilege. The only thing that makes one person better than another is his or her character.'; She goes on to say, ';In the Western world, the hijab has come to symbolize either forced silence or radical, unconscionable militancy. Actually, its neither. It is simply a woman's assertion that judgement of her physical person is to play no role whatsoever in social interaction.';
Muslims believe that God gave beauty to all women, but that her beauty is not be seen by the world, as if the women are meat on the shelf to be picked and looked over. When she covers herself she puts herself on a higher level and men will look at her with respect and she is noticed for her intellect , faith ,and personality, not for her beauty. In many societies, especially in the West, women are taught from early childhood that their worth is proportional to their attractiveness and are compelled to follow the male standards of beauty and abstract notions of what is attractive, half realizing that such pursuit is futile and often humiliating (Mustafa). Chastity , modesty, and piety are promoted by the institution of veiling. The hijab in no way prevents a woman from playing her role as an important individual in a society nor does it make her inferior.'; (Takim,22)
A Muslim woman may wear whatever she pleases in the presence of her husband and family or among women friends. But when she goes out or when men other than her husband or close family are present she is expected to wear a dress which will cover [her hair and] all parts of her body , and not reveal her figure. What a contrast with Western fashions which every year concentrate quite intentionally on exposing yet another erogenous zone to the public gaze! The intention of Western dress is to reveal the figure, while the intention of Muslim dress is to conceal [and cover] it, at least in public (Lemu,25).
The Muslim woman does not feel the pressures to be beautiful or attractive, which is so apparent in the Western and Eastern cultures. She does not have to live up to expectations of what is desirable and what is not. Superficial beauty is not the Muslim woman's concern, her main goal is inner spiritual beauty. She does not have to use her body and charms to get recognition or acceptance in society. It is very different from the cruel methods that other societies subject women, in that their worth is always judged by their physical appearance. The are numerous examples of discrimination at the workplace where women are either accepted or rejected, because of their attractiveness and sex appeal.
Another benefit of adorning the veil is that it is a protection for women. Muslims believe that when women display their beauty to everybody, they degrade themselves by becoming objects of sexual desire and become vulnerable to men, who look at them as '; gratification for the sexual urge';(Nadvi,8). The Hijab makes them out as women belonging to the class of modest chaste women, so that transgressors and sensual men may recognize them as such and dare not tease them out of mischief'; (Nadvi, 20). Hijab solves the problem of sexual harrassment and unwanted sexual advances, which is so demeaning for women, when men get mixed signals and believe that women want their advances by the way they reveal their bodies.
The western idiology of, 'if you have it, you should flash it!' is quite opposite to the Islamic principle,where the purpose is not to bring attention to ones self, but to be modest. Women in so many societies are just treated as s ex symbols and nothing more than just a body who ';display themselves to get attent ion'; (Mustafa). A good example is in advertising, where a woman's body is used to sell products. Women are constantly degraded, and subjected to reveal more and more of themselves. .
The Covering sanctifies her and forces society to hold her in high esteem. Far from humiliating the woman, Hijab actually grants the woman an aura of respect, and bestows upon her a separate and unique identity (Takim, 2). According to the Qu'ran, the same high standards of moral conduct are for men as it is for women. Modesty is essential in a man's life, as well, whether it be in action, morals or speech. Islam also commands proper behavior and dress of men, in that they are not allowed to make a wanton show of their bodies to attract attention onto themselves, and they too must dress modestly. They have a speci al commandment to lower their eyes, and not to brazenly stare at women.
In Sura Nur of the Holy Qu'ran it says, '; Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them, and God is well acquainted with what they do';. Many of the misconceptions of the Muslim woman in the west, particularly her veil stems from Arab and Muslim countries that have deviated from the true doctrines of Islam, and have '; mixed up Islamic principles with pre-Islamic pagan traditions'; (Bahnassawi, 67)
In this present period of decline from Islam, many Muslim women are alienated , isolated from social life, and are oppressed by Muslim men and rulers who use the name of religion for their injustices. (Bahnassawi, 65) In this instance, the Hijab is used as a means of keeping many Muslim women away from society, with the misconception that it signifies isolation and weakness. But as many Muslim women come back into the fold of the untainted and true Islam, they are able to recognize the injustice of men who have for so long stripped them of their rights to be an integral part of society and ';deserving the same dignity, honor, progress and prosperity as the men'; (Nadvi,26). Women regaining their true identity and role in society, are now wearing Hijab and embracing its concept of liberation for women, and are taking their rightful places that Islam had endowed upon them fourteen hundred years ago.

It should be her heart. Only that attracts the opposite sex
every woman has something of beauty in them at birth but the life they are given and what they do with it plays a major role, especially eating habits and stress levels... aging is really connected to how you handle stress, that's why i quote the great bob marley and say ';don't worry, be happy!';
or is that ';bee '; happy, because that royal jelly stuff that the queen bees make is really good for you, too...
peace love beauty
