[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The importance of beauty is due to evolution.  People want healthy children.

So I don't think it's necessarily sad or bad that beauty is important.  For most people - they can improve their appearances greatly by living a  healthy lifestyle - i.e. eating right, going to the gym, and taking care of their skin.

For me personally - what's bad or sad is when people have only their beauty going for them (i.e. they are otherwise awful people) and/or the beauty is super fake.

+1 It is hardwired into our DNA.  We can try to fight it, but it will never be easy to disregard beauty just due to the way our bodies work.[/quote]

This is the fundamental answer - everything else is just the result of this. Haven't any of you read the studies about facial symmetry and beauty? We want the best genetic mates to create the best genetic children. How can you tell if your mate has good genes? The face is symmetrical, the body is in proportion, tons of other stuff we don't even recognize like pheromones.

This has become distorted in modern society, but the fundamentals are still there.[/quote]
