is beauty really skin deep?

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her”a famous quote read by a lot of people but not really understood.so what is beauty.is it what we find visually appealing,for eg the most common conception.big beautiful eyes,a beautiful set of pristine white teeth,accompanied by a gorgeous smile,lustrous hair and not to forget a flawless complexion!these are in fact the worlds expectations from one another since times immemorial.depressing!i know.yet imperative in today's society.be it in the professional front or personal.we usually tend to blame media on a lot of our issues.but what is the media?isn't it a part of our own creation..the public or layman as we call ourselves.medias role is nothing but adhering to our needs.don't we want to see beautiful people on screen.so that we could feel good.or perhaps aspire to look like them.all right maybe that's a slight exaggeration for some of us but i have come across a lot of people who have become slaves to television and fashion magazines.lets come a little closer to home now.men and women,husbands and wives etc etc.don't we all make unnecessary demands on one another.do we actually just fall in love at first sight based on someones qualities.of course not.i do agree that to a certain level physical appeal would matter.i would be lying trough my teeth if i said no it did not.but where do we draw the line.im not tall.in fact i measure 4 feet 12 inches.im not a supermodel.i have flaws.like everyone else.having said that im sure a lot of the famously known supermodels feel the exact same way!which only goes to prove that we are all imperfect.and i think that is what makes life so interesting!i personally think perfection is boring!my husband thinks im the ugliest person ever created.he calls me a midget although midgets have smaller legs then mine!but he ends it all usually with the smartest one liner.i was just joking!well over the years ive grown accustomed to these nasty remarks and do take them as joke as he says they just are.but then its only natural to have a little doubt.isn't it.to look at yourself in the mirror when you wake up in the morning and think am i really ugly.to look for high-heels{preferably jimmy choo}on the internet.to make sure your face and skin look flawless.to wonder just why you don't look like a Hollywood or Bollywood superstar!because only then you fit in!

if you look at matrimonial ads you will often come across this famous advertisement.here is how it goes
40 plus male seeks a 20-35 female.must be of fair complexion,long black hair,must be at least 5 11 in height and must be highly qualified.and the extras now.must be able to cook and have strong family values.
now this was a typical Asian matrimonial advert.the rules though are comparably relaxed in a western matrimonial site.

im not however speaking just from a female point of view.i know that women too demand perfection from men.not as much though!

well i guess our quest for beauty will never end.whoever said beauty is skin deep definitely hasn't met my husband!
