What do
women want? We want to be beautiful. (Read: slender, with curves in the right
places; some muscle definition but not too much; height without towering over
men; teeth perfectly straight and pearly white; hair lush and thick with just
the right amount of body, no frizz and absolutely no gray hairs!) We want to be
adored (without lust, as Dante loved Beatrice) by men and envied (without hatred,
just being held in awe) by other women.
These are
unrealistic goals, you say?
Yet we
spend billions and billions of dollars each year trying desperately to make our
fantasies of beauty come true.
I have
an easier solution for all young, unmarried women out there seeking a cheaper
alternative to lasting beauty.
Marry a
blind guy.
If this
isn’t possible, (let’s face it, there are only so many blind guys to go
around), then find yourself a good man who thinks you’re beautiful just the way
you are. This works especially well if he thinks you’re beautiful when he sees
you without make-up or right after a work-out when you’re all sweaty and gross and
wearing baggy sweats and your kid brother’s t-shirt. I’m talking about the kind
of man who would think you’re still beautiful even when you think you need to
loose ten or twenty or thirty pounds. This is the kind of man who will think
you’re beautiful even after you’ve had several children and you’re sagging in
all the wrong places.
If you’re
lucky enough to be married to such a guy, hang on to him. He’s a real keeper.
Guys, if
you’re reading this, here’s some information you’re going to want to remember.
Women want to be beautiful for you. But mostly they want you to appreciate them
for who they are inside. Try to look beyond the messy hair or the
other-than-perfect body and look at the beauty of the person inside. Tell her
how beautiful she is. Don’t compare her to other women. She isn’t other women.
She is unique; one of a kind; a never-before-created and never-will-be created-again
masterpiece. Tell her.
Ladies,
if you don’t have a man in your life right now, remember you have a Father in
heaven who created you and thinks you’re absolutely stunningly perfectly
gorgeous right now. He sees beyond the flesh. He sees the heart, the soul, the
person whom he created. You are his masterpiece. You are beautiful in his eyes.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is
vain,
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.~Proverbs 31:30

Darling Mummy (yes, 'tis I again),
First off, I love this article. Second, in the paragraph after "Marry a blind guy," you wrote "loose" when you meant "lose." ("I’m talking about the kind of man who would think you’re still beautiful even when you think you need to loose ten or twenty or thirty pounds.")
Love,
Your favorite kid
