Question for gay men

[€uroMeinke]

I think there's a distinction to be made between what is beautiful (visually appealing) and what is attractive. There are plenty of beautiful women who I don't find attractive, but still can appreciate their beauty - be it line, shape, symmetry, or what not.

I've actually been having fun watching America's Top model and thinking about beauty. All the contestants look good, but it's amazing how much confidence, posture, and body language can enhance what is beautiful.

Often it seems more about being comfortable with one's body - think the tall girls who slumps forward ashamed of her hight versus the one showing of their long legs or torso to show it off.

In that respect I'm also confused by people that say they have a "type." In my mind there are so many varieties of beauty, why limit yourself? Small breasts are usually fun and perky, large breasts round and soft - there is so much to appreciate about the body I think it's great when someone can show off what they've got.

Back to America's supermodel. I'm amazed at the number of them who are uncomfortable posing nude or in a thong, how can you want to pursue that profession and be so embarrassed by your body? But that's another thread...
