Beauty is a powerful part of life. In observing my 21 month old toddler, it seems appreciation of beauty is hardwired into the human mind. On a few occasions I've seen him stop in his tracks and stare, then discover that he's gazing at a pretty woman walking by.

    Still, even when I was a little kid, I remember being smitten by some girls.

    As for hardwired, they HAVE found that with straight adult males, there is a point at which certain curves are attractive in women. Obviously, when I was a little kid, I didn't care so much. ALSO, the more uniform the figure of the whole person, the more attractive. And then there is a 1.618 ratio, that even da vinci found. That IS similar to the perfect hip ratio for women also.

    It really IS something though. I saw a "sweet 16 countdown" on Mtv today. $220K-350K, at least for the ones for girls that I saw. One girl actually rented a car for $3500 to go only a few blocks! JUST FOR AN ENTRANCE! One girl was REALLY upset when she was cut off after over $9000 for the day! Her mother didn't like how she left without telling her. BUT, as a shirt she wore said, when mom says NO, DADDY SAYS YES! It still works even in the absence of any thought or desire for sex.

    The colour of a woman's lingerie, it appears, tells you what sort of a lover she is, a psychologist has revealed.

    When infants are shown pictures of what society considers "attractive" people, the infants smile more than they do when shown pics of less attractive people.

    It seems that beauty is associated with symmetry and balance and people with the most balanced faces are considered the most attractive, and that this is hard wired and not learned.

    Beauty is less important when you "feel" something from a person which you've evaluated her beauty
