Depends on the mentality of the beholder.Being beautiful can be a cause of atration for a lot of guys, but it does not guarantees you that they will have good intentions. Its better to be desired for your mentality than for your beauty.Beuauty can be taken away but your values and convictions cant.Beauty is a gift if you know how to use it, but it can be a curse if you define yourself by it.

Someone can buy you the most expensive gift, but treats you bad. Can you love them? Expensive things lose their value, their luster, their shine..Love is from the heart, not the wallet. You can't put a price on love. Listen to The Beatles.

Money can't buy you happiness or love....  Only one's true beauty within can give you those things.....\nMoney just takes care of the material things which can always be replaced.  But someone's love never can't....\n\nDon't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

All that glitters is not gold.  Outward beauty is only temporary.  You must be beautiful on the inside, and that is a choice.  Inner beauty is kindness toward others, compassion for others, selfless love for others, gentleness, peacefulness, goodness, an inner joy (that is different from happiness which is only situational).  People are drawn to someone with those qualities.  On the other hand, you speak of selling your soul for temporary outward beauty and big breasts. If that is how you want to attract a man, you are selling the wrong thing.  You will become a slave to the obsession of how you look.  Aging is inevitable, and someone who is only drawn to outward beauty will throw you away when that begins to fade.   Your soul is not literally for sale, but there is a battle between good and evil for your soul.  In other words, a battle over where you will spend eternity, Heaven or Hell.  The way that plays out is you, yourself, determine that by your choices in life.  Eternity is forever, and when you speak of selling your soul, you are in grave peril of spending eternity in Hell, in a lake of fire, surrounded by the most fearful, horrible things your imagination can conjure up. On the other hand, Jesus Christ offers you eternal life in Paradise.  He would tell you that you have a faulty focus.  You are not saved by being beautiful, or by the good works you have done.  You are saved by Grace - that undeserved, unmerited favor of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you look around, some of the most physically beautiful people, are the most miserable.  In Hollywood, beautiful people are a dime a dozen, yet, divorce seems inevitable, drugs are plentiful, alcoholism is common, all self destructive addictions to just cope with the pain and pressures of life.  \nGod gives each person special gifts and talents.  Maximize those giftings and focus on all the blessings He has given you.  You were created for an awesome purpose.

Love is far more powerful than any curse. Try reading the Bible.\n\nBible.com

That's a tough question.  You can look at women on TV and see that they are beautiful, but then read about them and think that person is completely repulsive now.  It's hard to say what beauty is.  Beauty doesn't have to be a woman.  Beauty is watching Niagara Falls, Looking out your window first thing the morning and there is 2 feet of snow.  Holding your newborn for the first time.  It can be whatever you want it to be. To me it is making someone genuinely smile without ever having to saying a word to them.

Wisdom is usually associated with age.  Physical beauty is usually associated with youth. Both add value to life. \n\nBest wishes!

Beauty is really what you're own idea of beauty is.  We all live on our own scale in a lot of things.  As far as skin deep I'm not able to agree, but it's in the eyes and the smile and the body language and everything else.  So what you see as unattractive may be beautiful to someone else who see's what they're looking for.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and no not every girl is preoccupied with money or beauty. Sometimes a person's personal traits will outweigh what they might lack in the looks department but I also feel that there has to be some degree of physical attraction between two people for it to go beyond just a platonic relationship. Perhaps one's  mind will appeal enough to overide that but that really depends on the situation and the individual. What is ugly to one might be beautiful to another. But may I ask what is the preoccupation with finding someone who won't base you on your looks when it is apparent that that is what your standards are based on?

No, its not wierd. Some people do this very often. They just don't talk about it, considering people that don't understand it see it as strange or lies. I experience these things as well. Its a part of who you are, like a 6th sense, use it embrce it, enjoy it. It is a gift not a curse.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.\n\nI think a review of history might show that the beautiful people have done a lot of ugly disgusting things.

Pretty and Ugly are both subjective. Meaning that what is pretty to one is absolutely disgusting to another. Some people fall in love with the size of people's feet, we're all different in that sense. What we think as "pretty" tends to be how symmetrical a face is, and the shape of a body being atheletic. However, this doesn't mean that we wouldn't evolve to see things differently. Since half the world now sits on their a$$ in front of their computers and america is plagued with fast food, maybe new genes will evolve and redefine our perception of this. We might begin to think it's beautiful. You never know. God just want's best for God  aka the universe in general. It's what rewards survival that is promoted on as a good quality or intelligent quality. So maybe one day ugly will actually be beautiful. It's a perception thing, and it all depends on how we as lifeforms evolve. Beautiful is NOT always outside appearance. In fact, it can be quite deceiving. God does not separate us, in fact we are not separate at all. This is an illusion. Intelligence is beauty, but you do not even have to be aware of it to be beautiful. Some species have survival instincts that we think are incredibly intelligent however it is just in their nature to do so, they aren't aware of it. SO you can be "dumb" and intelligent. Another example, Idiot savants. There is no separation of good and bad. Nothing is better, it is only different. God rewards and continues to keep what works no matter what it is.

First, beauty comes from within; it is enhanced by the way we act, speak, treat others, and treat ourselves.  Remaining healthy is similar to the first; some health issues are out of our control, but we have the power to give it a good shot.  Eat healthy foods, drink lots of water, exercise, get regular checkups from your doctor and stay away from unhealthy places (bars and crowed elevators :).  Now as for being loveable to others well, treat others the way you want to be treated, and you will be surprised at the response.  Now for you last question, I am still working on that one myself, but if you succeed with all of the above how much wealthier do you want or need to be?

It is up to your acceptance of the sayings of guys. Beauty is what you feel personally and not as told by some one else. What looks beautiful to you may not be the beauty for some other person. Similary, what some one else feels as beautiful, that may not look beautiful to you. So, the yard stick of beauty is different for different persons.

I have an older bf with money.  He doesn't top the list for looks, but is attractive to me.  I went for his looks first and then found out he had money.  It may not be that the woman is going for his money; she may be attracted to him and another person would not find him attractive.   Beauty is on the inside and what one finds attractive will not necessarily be attractive to another.

Most people look at beauty as outward appearance, whether it be hair, face or body. I look at beauty as internal. You can be the most beautiful person in the whole world, but if your personality is terrible, then the outward appearance wont matter anyway.
