"Another great book that focuses on this subject is called "Survival of the Prettiest". Nevertheless another viewpoint is placed here. As a turn in the power of appeal, we as humans try to look our best for others more than ourselves. It is the appeal that we generate from others that attracts them to us. The recent growth in the popularity of girls and young women placing henna and other attraction drawing tattoo's on suggestive areas of their bodies (lower abdomen, inner thigh, above buttocks) since the mid 1990's is an example. The desire and action among the female gender in the United States, and many other parts of the world tend to be passive and directly suggestive in the desire for sexual promiscuity, as a partial result to the fear among males to approach females. The current fear is of embarrassing legal prosecution for even suggesting attractiveness, due to sexual harassment laws has altered the behavior of many men, and increased the need for younger and older women to be bold in attracting a mate.

As the most advanced primates, our instinctual behaviors towards attractiveness have been built into our various traditions. Traditions can be modified but the underlining notions drawn from scars, muscle mass, and certain behavioral aptitudes demonstrates natural basics. Tattoo's, body piercings, and material items tend to be universal interest points among all people. Such issues tend to allure the opposite sex (sometimes the same), to others in consideration of the possibility of sexual stimulation. Perfumes, colognes, make-up, shoe size, and even shoe style tend to be major determinants in the first minute of any contact times of people. Some of the aptitude is learned by children observing adults, whether good or bad.

Research findings on beauty are mainly based on white participants, and are generalized towards "all women". Women of varying ethnic backgrounds are normally left out of the research. Cultural bias & racial pathology have incurred few researchers towards Women that are not of European ancestry. Women of African ancestry in the U.S., have been found less likely to hold uniform notions of beauty, and more likely to describe beauty in terms of personality & character traits rather than those of European ancestry which focus attention towards beauty solely on the physical level. When beauty is seen, visualize yourself as a part of it.

In the United States, people who are perceived as attractive are also perceived as having positive personality traits such as intelligence, sociability, kindness, virtue, nurturance, and warmth, and they are perceived as more successful in areas of work and personal life. Those that have less physical attractiveness are commonly considered to be less intelligent, nurturing, and sociable among the most materialistic and others in scale. The epidemic of relationship loneliness in the U.S. is complicated between this factor, fear of legal retribution, and fear of social opinion degradation. Men also have an ego/ intimidation fear factor towards approaching women they are highly attracted too.

The majority of research on beauty has focused on gender differences in the experience of physical attractiveness. The beauty standard holds much more importance for women than for men. It has been consistently found that women tend to focus on appearance more than men. In general, women in the U.S. tend to view their bodies as objects like models and dolls, perceiving themselves on a part-by-part basis like the appeal of their ass, legs, breasts, hair, eye color, etc.

Worldwide, as girls learn what their male dominant cultures say about how they should look through saturated media presentations, they are often poisoned as a victim of cultural genocide. Women in the media are portrayed in terms of their bodies for a sexual standard. The relative absence of analyses of ethnicity in body image research has often been matched with the assumption that what is true for White women is also true for all cultures. Whiteness is mistakenly considered to mean good, neutral, normal, and an ultimate of beauty throughout Africa, Asia, Central America, the Philippines, and many other places. Acknowledgement of the incredible natural beauty of women from these and other parts of the world is so-far, still negated for foreign images.

In research studies, and most everyday observations, black women respond differently to the media images of women, particularly because many realize either emulation, or attacks directed towards women of African ancestry. In general, high self-esteem is mistakenly associated with the ever-changing ability to change body image, weight, and self-esteem. The perspective on who someone finds physically attractive, and who may find them physically attractive is a core value instilled in girls at a very early age. The attraction to the thug image stems in different ways among cultures. In general among women of all cultures, the hero/ revolutionary leader, rebel character personality is the highest natural attraction factor. The perspective of the ideal boy or man is at a basic level altered through youth observations of role models, and popularity.

Women must empower themselves locally, regionally, worldwide, and spiritually, to change the way they view themselves, act on problems, and are respected. Fear and intimidation are the only real enemies to change, but resistance must be met with persistent focused energy. In-kind images and principles of faith must be included in the movements for intended change. There is an old statement that applies to women of many other cultures; "African women face triple oppression all over the world as workers, as Africans, and as women (Kwame Ture, 94). African women must destroy the myth that in order for the African man to be strong the African woman must be weak." Untainted cultures treat women as equals, and in many cases, as the dominant member family principle. This is true in varying and growing ways.

The gender warfare initiated from the wrongs of supremacy thought are prevalent in virtually all places that have been infected through colonialism such as in what is called Latin America. Another example is female genital mutilation, which is historically founded through enslavement and was forced to be a cultural norm from prior invading social structures. Anti--humanistic wrongs done against women and children need to acknowledged by the masses of people under correct full-disclosure context of past to present.

As I stated in volume #1 of "Knowledge For Tomorrow – pg. 158 ," "The current created heroes of society are collectively the same as many mentioned in ancient stories. A hero is not only the image of the fantastic warrior, it should also be realized that fashion models are considered to be supreme humans that others are to emulate and basically worship. It is the role in the society, and identity of the character, that continually changes. European American adolescent conceptions of beauty tend to be fixed on physical appearance, and African American adolescent conceptions tend to be more flexible on the acknowledgement of beauty through a combination of physical features, personality traits, and a personal sense of style.

Human instinct, as with others, ensure that the species survives and continues up the evolutionary ladder, by progressively directed drawing to people who possess traits suggesting health and strong survival and reproductive abilities. Traits that are generally highly desired are darker toned skin, wide set large eyes, high cheekbones, large eyes, full lips, unblemished skin, a short nose, and a relatively small lower face. The majority happen to be traits that African, Asian, & Indigenous Native American women possess, more than women of many other races. Most women can rest assure that their faces aren't at a disadvantage when judged against deeply held notions of feminine beauty, in comparison to white or European women."
