Confidence is Beauty

A Confident Woman is a Beautiful Woman

What is beauty? There are so many different views on what people think is beautiful. It has changed so much even since the 80s. In years past it had been beautiful to be curvy and full, but that has come to a drastic change. Girls have now become stick thin and develop eating disorders.

Media has had a lot to do with our views on beauty. Growing up as young girls I think we develop the thought that what we see on TV are the pretty people. The people with zero fat on them, the people with porcelain skin, the people with the large breast, the list goes on and on. Males also have a large role in what females think is beautiful. For example you look at a playboy bunny, she gets a lot of attention from boys and what do you know she has zero fat, porcelain skin, and large breasts. In all I think young girls what to feel beautiful and get the attention from guys and it seems like these two wants go hand in hand.

What young women don’t understand is that there are beautiful girls that don’t fit the “playboy bunny” body type. It’s not all about what you look like. Jennifer Hudson for example is a heavier woman with fantastic curves but what makes her truly beautiful is her intelligence and her over all self-confidence. When Miss Hudson speaks, she speaks with confidence making her sound intelligent. The way she demands attention on the stage is another thing that makes her beautiful. You can tell she loves herself and is confident in her appearance. A confident woman is a beautiful woman. Every woman is beautiful in their own way, but to have confidence in your appearance takes it to a whole other level.

But I don’t think this problem is just relevant for woman. Men also have the pressure of being “beautiful.” Although we don’t really use the word beautiful for men, I still feel like they feel pressured to be desired from woman. They have these gorgeous celebrities with eight packs and woman hanging on their tree trunks for arms. But again, it’s not about what you look like on the outside. Although an eight pack would be nice, it’s not needed to find a man attractive. In my opinion if he has confidence and has accepted himself as a person, he is attractive. Confidence is beauty.
