Have you ever wondered what it is that makes people "attractive" or "beautiful"?
Nowadays, we have those ideals, a certain way a person needs to look, in order to be dimmed "right". You have to be thin, most of all. But what is it that defines beauty?
There are some people certain people will find good looking, and others will not. It's a matter of taste -- we are all individuals, after all. But there are some people that everyone will stop to look at. It's a sort of beauty that crosses skin colour, origins, tastes. And the funny thing is -- we have an ideal of beauty, for both men and women, but if you look closely at the ones everyone stops to stare at, they don't exactly fit that ideal. The mouth is a bit too wide, the nose too long, the body proportions are odd.
In another way, though, that's what's the best about it, isn't it? Real beauty is in the individuality, not in the similarities.
