The Wants of Women(loOking nice and feeling beatiful)

"Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that." It is easy to understand the social implications surrounding beauty because as a man with six sisters i am surrounded and influenced by it but it gives me the opportunity to speak of it from a woman's perspective. Although I would like to say that my mother told me that women chase beauty for their own pleasure, women do it because of the feeling of power they get when regarded as feeling and being beautiful. Ted Chiang confirmed my hypothesis, one of his interviewers Maria de Souza said, "For me, one of the things that attracts me to a guy is if he seems interested in me. It's like a feedback loop, you notice him looking at your, then he sees you looking at him, and things snowball from there." The "snowball effect" gives women a feeling that they can achieve anything now that they are regarded as beautiful. The power women attain, lets them gain respect in communities, they become well known and perceived as trustworthy. They also go on to use their beauty in positive way to enhance other women's experiences. my mother told me that she agree's that feeling beautiful is a powerful effect on your attitudes and habits, but it has to be in balance with reality.
