Are humans hypocrites when acting as if inner beauty is more important than outer beauty?

1 Personally, I think there is such a wide variation of what each individual finds attractive, and we can't all agree on what that is, that it really isn't such a lie to say we also look at inner beauty. The concept of external beauty differs from culture to culture also, so there is no single human standard for what outer beauty looks like. I'm not sure the evolutionary biologists have come up with the definition of beauty, so much as they have identified human reproductive attractiveness.

For caucasian Americans, that's someone like Paris .. and reproductively (strictly from a physiological perspective) Barbie couldn't pass a baby through her pelvis if she were the last woman on earth.

2 Unless I'm misreading, you answered your own question. There is something deeper happening. We're animals, and we can't help some part of our brain responding, for instance, to bilateral symmetry, etc.I'll be the first to admit that I get pure, simple pleasure sitting on the front steps and watching beautiful people go by; it makes me feel happy.

I don't see that it conflicts with realizing that, for me at least, there has to be some steak; the sizzle just ain't enough to sustain me. I think it is an extraordinary person that is able to factor out the things Mother Nature built in for a reason, but I don't see it as hypocritical to invite the intellect to participate, too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
