so I posted a song awhile back that has the line "i want to be beautiful.. make you stand in awe" and then I started thinking.. All of my childhood i was "beautiful" i did child modeling.. people stopped my mom in stores... all that jazz.... then as I got older I became "cute".... noone says 'you're beautiful" anymore.. and I don't mean just to me but in generall.. when guys talk about girls they're "hot" or "fine" or other explatives.... noone has those classic terms anymore "beautiful" "stunning" "radiant".... and as I was thinking about how I wanted to be considered in terms of attraction... I don't want to be those things, "hot or fine"... I want to be "beautiful" "exquisite", "breath taking" "enchanting"... and I think that for most women... We don't want to be identified by how we look, that doesn't makeus who we are... but we do want to be appreciated and if you notice our looks, when it comes to someone who we care about we want to be different than all the other girls... we want to feel like we're the only one that matters and noone else can hold a glass to us.. to be the rose that blooms in the thorns... Exquiste beauty is what women truly long for, not in the physical sense but in the sense that combines physical and personal together.

What do you women think... or men... what are the common misconceptions about beauty? what type of beautiful do you want to be classified as? If you are male and reading this... how do men want to be seen as?

I love that song, Charissa. Bethany Dillon, right?

I'm with you. It's not just outward beauty, it's being beautiful inside too... the total package. Mostly I just want to know that my husband is completely captivated by me -- that as far as HE'S concerned, I'm the most beautiful woman in the world.

Yes it's Bethany Dillon and that's exactly what I'm talking about.

It's from Seinfeld. Elaine had contraceptive sponges that were taken off the market. So a spongeworthy guy meant he was worth using one of the sponges to have sex with but way funnier than how I said it. Rent Seinfeld and you'll see.

Yes, I get pretty or cute but I've never been called beautiful. That would be nice.
