CTP is a straightforward podcast where it's just me, you, and occasionally a guest. Thank you for tuning in.
Today, we are diving into a topic I have contemplated for decades: "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder."
This episode marks Season 3, Episode 114 of the podcast. I have been discussing the subjective nature of beauty for years but have never officially documented my thoughts. Today, I aim to articulate my theory on why beauty is perceived differently by everyone.
The discussion was sparked by a comment from Panther 1890 on Truth Social, questioning the attractiveness of certain public figures. This led to a broader conversation about how we perceive beauty and the categories we create around it.
Categories of Beauty
I have established several categories to classify beauty, particularly in women. Here are the main categories I have identified:
- Drop Dead Gorgeous: This category includes women who are universally considered stunning. The specifics of who fits into this category can vary based on personal opinion.
- Terminally Cute: This category features women who possess a youthful and endearing appearance. For example, Emma Watson is often seen as terminally cute, especially with her short hair, which gives her a perpetual youthful look.
- Intriguing Beauty: This category includes women whose beauty is unique and captivating, even if they do not fit the traditional standards of attractiveness. Emma Stone is an example of someone who falls into this category.
- Plain Jane Pretty: This category encompasses women who may not stand out but possess a certain charm and attractiveness.
The Role of Inner Beauty
While discussing these categories, it is essential to recognize that inner beauty plays a significant role in how we perceive attractiveness. A person's character and personality can elevate their perceived beauty or diminish it. For instance, someone who may be considered a 10 in looks can drop to a 5 if their personality is unpleasant. Conversely, someone who is a 6 can rise to an 8 with a kind and engaging personality.
The Impact of Public Figures
The conversation also touched on public figures like Sydney Sweeney, who has received both admiration and criticism for her looks and political views. Some may find her attractive, while others may not, and this perception is often influenced by societal standards and personal biases.
Sweeney's situation highlights how beauty can be politicized, especially when public figures express their political beliefs. Her support for certain political ideologies has led to polarized opinions about her attractiveness, showcasing how beauty is not just a personal perception but also a societal construct.
Objectification and Reality
The discussion of beauty inevitably leads to the topic of objectification. Both men and women engage in objectifying others based on physical appearance. This reality is often uncomfortable but is a part of how society operates. It is crucial to acknowledge that while beauty can be subjective, the objectification of individuals based on their looks is a pervasive issue that affects both genders.
Conclusion
In conclusion, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. We all have different perceptions and categories that influence how we view attractiveness. Whether it is through the lens of societal standards or personal experiences, beauty remains a complex and multifaceted topic.
As we navigate discussions about beauty, it is essential to consider both external and internal factors that contribute to our perceptions. Let us strive to be kinder and more understanding towards one another, recognizing that everyone has their unique perspective on beauty.
