I think you've confused the definition of a beautiful woman with an attractive woman. -
I agree with lotusB. -
Beauty in the eye of the Beholder.-
kudos for taking my line before I even said it!

I prefer the whole package--someone that is beautiful and intelligent. The blond barbie thing has its moments, but leads to a never ending headache.-
Hey! I take offense to that! lol My nickname is Barbie. -
Me too - I collect Barbie.

I think this is a trick question!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. -
Intelligence is beauty to many, silly boy. -
Just another typical male. The first thing is you must define "beauty", it comes in many forms and many flavors. The second thing is "If the outside is more important, then you are too shallow to get an intelligent woman". -
It depends on your definition of beauty? Some would consider being an inteliigent woman a beautiful thing. Like Lotusb I believe you're thinking attractive and beauty are the same. -
Intelligence is overrated. It's funner being dumb.-
True...oh my gawd ...this is soooo true
I have the most fun playing dumb, I mean really what else is there to do? -
Hear hear - or um here here or um... oh, never mind

I was blessed with a wife that is beautiful, thoughtful and intelligent too!
Boy! I love Venezuela!

beauty comes from a woman's grace, warmth, wisdom and loving heart.
Society's view of beauty is shallow and not real. -
Need no, want i would say yes. -
How do you define the adjective "beautiful"?
Personally, beauty comes from within.
"A beautiful mind, body and soul" is what matters, really...
Happy New Year one and all!!-
Even that is subjective. What one might think a beautiful mind another might not, what one might think a beautiful soul another might not.

I support your point jeremylong.

Our cultural worship of beauty at the expense of everything else warps the society and damages people. Perfectly normal women undergo dangerous surgeries to "correct" perfectly normal parts of themselves because they have been brainwashed into believing that their natural selves are somehow inferior. Young men take steroids and endanger their health, and both forego developing their personalities and characters in favour of making themselves "hot."
People who do not measure up to the impossible standard...or who cannot attract and hold a partner who has Botoxed and gymmed their way into this artificial perfection, feel bad about themselves. The whole thing is sick.
My husband has a friend, a nice looking man who is hugely intelligent (he is a nuclear physicist), likeable, and fun to talk with. This man will likely never marry as he is fixated on "super model" types and has no interest in more attainable women. He's 40, lives with his parents (he supports them), is not rich, tall or hot, he doesn't hang out in places where these woman might socialize, he doesn't know anyone who does, either. And yet, he will not so much as notice a perfectly lovely young woman whose attributes are no less modest than his own...it's a supermodel type for him or nothing. I would say his past is very much the prologue to his future.
I think if we, as a culture, put more emphasis on valuing intelligence, compassion, humour, good character, honesty, and integrity, and stopped obsessing over every little ounce, wrinkle, or inch, the world would be a much better place all around.-
SweetViolet, I'm NOT saying it's right, but take a quick glance at history and you will see that this has always been the case.
Your quote: "I think if we, as a culture, put more emphasis on valuing intelligence, compassion, humour, good character, honesty, and integrity, and stopped obsessing over every little ounce, wrinkle, or inch, the world would be a much better place all around."
If we did this, we'd be living in Utopia. I just don't see any evidence that human beings--collectively--have the ability to do so. Therefore, realistically, it's a moot argument, like arguing for a world without crime, or poverty, or hunger, or racism, or anything else that imperfect human beings sometimes "obsess" over, to use your word.
The person who started this discussion is living in a fantasy world--or has merely been rejected by so many "beautiful" women that he is now bitter and upset--because I'm willing to gamble that if he found that mythical "intelligent" woman who--for sake of argument--is the smartest person on the planet, I seriously doubt he would be ready to hop off the bridge towards love if she was also physically handicapped: blind, no limbs, scales all over her skin, bald, disfigured nose, and a host of other deformed physical attributes. He wants an imaginary "intelligent" woman, just not an "ugly" one.
Folks who complain about beauty are usually scorned, impotent men who hide their failure in relationships behind some fake attempt at seeming enlightened. It makes insecure females say stupid, "Awe, that's so true," type comments, but the reality is much darker. Everyone has their own way of judging and seeing "beauty," and pretending like you don't "see" it is a lie--unless you are blind of course.
It's easy to shout to the world that you don't want a "beautiful" woman when "beautiful" women don't want you either. -
TL;DR -
I disagree. Beauty is hugely subjective and shaped by the media and companies that sell "beauty" products.
Some cultures find large women beautiful and others find the Western male's fixation with breasts to be laughable. I am old enough to remember when things like nose jobs, breast implants, even hair bleaching, were perceived negatively. What we, as consumers, fail to realize is that it is our definition of beauty changes continually and it is driven not by our inner aesthetic but by those who make money off our purchasing more and more of their products. They do this by coming up with new and different ways to make us feel inadequate so they can sell us products to assuage the insecurities they create.
As far as the "sour grapes" thing you allude to, I disagree on that, too. Some of us actually recognize that it takes more than big boobs or a trendy hair style to make a viable life partner. People who would rather spend money carving up their bodies than making investments (like buying a home) strike me as being entirely too shallow, self-absorbed, and short-term oriented to make a good choice for a long-term relationship that requires sharing, sacrifice, and will inevitably see the fading of physical attributes.
Physical beauty is like the wrapping on a gift...fleeting, unimportant, and unrepresentative of what is inside.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder... :-) -
I'm going to drag this topic into a bit different area. It is interesting to me, how some very ugly and downright classless men think that they should be ENTITLED to a physically beautiful girl friend, ignoring her mental abilities. These men are usually quite stupid and almost misogynist at times, but they still insist that beautiful intelligent women should flock to them trying to please them apparently for the simple reason they're men. They think women are like most men - they'd fuck anything that moves - and are offended when they are not treated the same way they would treat women. Men who do have a set of standards to their women, find this ridiculous of course. The funny thing is that while these men would fuck anything that moves, they still insist on having a beautiful girlfriend, that should not only be more or less a virgin but also have no standards at all what comes to men that they sleep with. No wonder they never succeed to find one.

Whoever is in love would see their partner as the most beautiful person in the world.AND the most attractive I might even add.Even if she isn't one of the luckier ones in these departments. -
No, not every man needs a beautiful woman. If that was the case, what would us (the ugly women) do?-
I guess you may need to behold oneself, if you think you are not beautiful, you really need to fine a new beholder. I asure you if you are in the ugly women group, I take ugly from now on.

Not all men. what is beauty if the brain is empty? but i think character is the best! -
I rather go with the ugly and intelligent babe than to be hooked up with a beautiful and brainless bimbo.
-
She must be 'beautiful inside'
and loveable.. -
Beauty always helps though, at least in this heavily biased society. But note that every other guy might also think the same of your "eye-candy" so bagging a really gorgeous girl might just be the start of your troubles. -
Needs and wants are two different things. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. -
All good things have their challenges, If a girl is beautiful, they get a lot of attention. Some of which is troublesome. However they get many benifits. I believe our society loves beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder to many. However some beauty is universal to almost all. I have a friend that was always opposite of me. Women he was attracted to, I could not understand and visa-versa. But if everyone was honest about it, we all chase beauty, and the people who don't, just have probally gave up, due to failure to get the same reaction back.
To the idea of need, need more likly can be defined in this case as practical ability to fill it. If one can not fill their need, then the need will fade.
Many define this as wisdom. Wisdom is knowing what you can have and can't in this situation. There are always exceptions to every rule, but most are consistant. Sometimes one changes their ability to compete, such as a person coming into a lot of money, that may change their ability to reactivate their need. -
Good comment richard.

You're sadly mistaken. Get out there and get some strange ass! If you want to be intellectually stimulated, watch C-Span or read some Sam Harris. -
Uhh, no. Some of us need a beautiful man (ideally a beautiful, loving, compassionate soul within a human shell that doesn't make one winch when seen naked).
