This weeks article was about how beauty is in the body. It is about how picking a mate is somewhat instinctual of how your partner will look. Symmetry of the face and other features like the hip to breast to waist ratio all play a part in what we find attractive. It was about the trends over the years for what we have looked for in our partners. It does not have to be about how skinny you are though. This theme has been trending since the past couple decades. It talks about all the evidence that supports this theory of beauty depicting healthiness and good genes.
I do think this article is right in some aspects. Right now the media is pushing for a skinnier figure for both female and male alike. I think this is preposterous however because not all skinny people are good mates or have good genes. i believe the part about looking normal as attractive is a good thing. I would wish this trend would keep going. Though being beautiful may be a perk I do not believe it is what we do naturally. We do look for someone whom is healthy but I do not think this is what the human is naturally looking for. I think they should be looking for someone they can spend there life with. I think the Saying “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” should be more common then it is. I think that beauty does play a role in picking our spouse or mate but i do not think it should be the only thing we pick them for.

Very nice blog. I agree with you completely. Beauty should be in the eyes of the beholder, but in todays society too much revovles around outer beauty when inner beauty really in more important. Sure people need to be attracted to their mates, but hopefully it will be more for the inner beauty than outer.

I like your idea about fear and it is the main motivating factor behind helping those who listen to the story uphold the virtues that is the story is trying to convey.
