My wife has a Golden Globes show on and they're showing all these Hollywood women, some of whom with breast implants. Breast implants are obviously quite common in the U.S. and very prevalent in south America. Personally, I don't like implants but I love
naturally large breasts.
So why is it that the vast majority of women who appear in the Miss USA, Miss Universe, etc. pageants are virtually
all flat-chested? I believe these pageants are out of touch with mainstream humanity. If these things were judged by regular dudes, you'd see different shaped women entering and winning these things.
Who cares? Whatever arbitrary criteria or standards they use are their own; I've heard that often the standards are out of touch with things that most doctors or healthy men and women would consider healthy to begin with, on a physical level, beauty is most philosophically linked to overall health, proportions, and so on (as far as whatever objective criteria the eye subjectively beholds and bases its subjective judgments on) - so aberrant beauty standards which are out of harmony with health and nature likely aren't very sound or reliable ones which will stand the test of time, being fleeting, ugly little fads and quirks.
And for that matter, beauty pageants are the lowest common denominator in regards to beauty, aesthetics, or philosophy on the subject, barely just a notch or rung above pornography or empty-headed voyeurism for the lowest common denominator.
I'd argue that beauty is a philosophical concept is more connected to mastery, character, morality, or perfection in various endevours, whether traditional arts and music such as Opera, or craftsmenship or mastery in other endeavours, such as sports, technology, innovation, ideas (e.x. the engineering and craftsmanship that goes into the development of a supercar or race car, or a race car driver's mastery of his car around the track, a scientist's mastery in the art or crafting of universal theories and laws, are more intelligent and refined philosophies and understanding of beauty on an existential level).
"Ugliness", likewise is associated with "beastliness", or devolved or primitive behaviors; in a sport, for example, the purely voyeuristic, physical, or sensory fighting or violence is the "ugly" aspect or part, while the "beauty" in sports as a performance art is the mastery and ingenuity which the athletes have to create or engage in, more in their mind than in the purely visual or sensory.
