There is a standard of beauty though that is universal. But it does not involve anything physical. Real beauty is found below the skin. It lies in the heart and soul of the person. A person with a good heart is really beautiful, no matter how tall or short they are, or what color their skin is, or how skinny or fat they are. You may marry a person because he or she looks good ... but we are all going to get old and grey and wrinkled someday, and what are you going to do once the looks fade? Trade him or her in for a newer model? By then, your looks will have faded too, and who will want you? Maybe that would be the ultimate justice. I just don't see much use in good physical looks. I would much rather date a man who respected me and liked me for who I was than an arrogant, self-centered jerk who thought he was God's gift to women. But that is just me (and I would hope a few more people out in the world thought like me, too).

With all of these fashion magazines out there, it is no wonder we have such low self-esteem. Striving to look like a supermodel will only lead to a few things: being broke all the time from buying all these beauty products that we feel we NEED, the increase in business to plastic surgeons, and eating disorders. It almost seems like more trouble than it's worth.

So whether you are short or tall, skinny or fat, black or white, have a big nose or a perfect nose, it doesn't matter... the most important thing is to concentrate on your inner beauty. If you have inner beauty, you will be lucky enough to find people that really appreciate YOU and not just your perfect nose.
