the concept of beauty

a strange and almost disturbing corollary to be observed between extreme beauty and superficiality of relationship. an excess of focus on the outward appearance only fuels the evolutionary concept of ‘mating’. this concept then leads to the view that procreation (and even less than that, sometimes only the moment of sexual pleasure) is the only focal point in a relationship. then once that which is the basis for these extrapolations (physical beauty) is no longer present, the ‘mate’ is freed to find another that will better suit his evolutionary needs. there is a distinct difference between a ‘female’ and a ‘woman’. each fulfills her respective ideological position - a female engenders little more than physical attraction while a woman possesses attributes and values worthy of a deeper relationship. i would prefer to marry a woman.
