As someone who plays D&D, I'd just like say, Beholders are a pain in the ass to deal with.

....as for the original topic, I tend to agree. My standards in women are vastly different than the guys I hang out with usually.

To comment back on his D&D statement and beauty. I always went with 8 Charisma, therefore, beauty is...
pointless.

beauty in the traditional sense as regards women:
the concept pf beauty tends to be what society determines it to be. since society is dominated by a male world view, beauty happens to be defined by men, which means the beauty of woman is not decided by women. women wear push-up bras, high heels, and gobs of make-up to appear "beautiful." they starve themselves and obsess over the smallest things, just to fit the consensual model of beauty. i say, it's time for men to relinquish control of the definition of beauty and for women to decide what a beautiful woman should look like. as for me, it isn't the classical skinny blond with long legs and huge breasts. i read somewhere that only 20% of women in america actually think they are pretty....that figure disturbs me, because i find that throughout my day i see beautiful women everywhere.

they starve themselves

I would say that whoever controls fashion (gay men) sets that standard. As for me, I dont really like the skinny look. As for determinism of beauty, it is naturally the male's role to decide since the male pursue's the female. Therefore the female naturally makes herself appealing to the male's taste to get a partner.
