Manufactured Beauty VS Natural Beauty

Yea...I know its 6am on a Saturday morning...
Well, work beckons. I have been requested to go back to work because the other guy supposed to take care of this has to go on emergency leave thanks to his mum's various body platelet count or something going haywire. OK. No big deal.
Last night was just tiring...got home from work at 10 30, and more or less collapsed into bed without showering...and ended up sleeping til now. Woke up, looked in the mirror, in my dishevelled shirt state (still in work clothes. I know. Very unhygienic. Girls, run). Somehow managed to toss myself into bed wearing only one sock and saw the other sock on top of my keyboard. Dont ask me how. And now, since the hair is still in place, I'm considering just rinsing the face, brushing the teeth, changing the clothes, and going off to work. But no...I think I will shower. For hygiene reasons.


Which brings me to my post topic. Been meaning to blog bout this for some time. OK, see, in my view, there are basically 2 kinds of beauty in this world.

Welcome to my concept of natural and manufactured beauty. To fully appreciate this, first, please accept and acknowledge that not all (wo)men are created equal. OK, now that we have all accepted that life and god is basically unfair, we may proceed.

Natural Beauty

These sorts of people are truly blessed physically. With flaws that are not blatant, they can get away with most anything. Their facial features usually is of this ilk: nice big eyes, high-ish cheekbones, chiselled jawline, nice lips and mouth, a nose that isnt big fat like a mushroom. They have quite proportionate physical dimensions i.e. head not too big for body, height is commensurate with head (i.e. one eighth) and arms and legs with just the right amount of body fat. These people need not be pretty. In fact, you might be one of them.

They can go to sleep devoid of makeup, and wake up looking more or less the same. They can brush teeth rinse face and pop out of the house and still look at least normal or good. They do not need to put extraordinary effort into making themselves look good. They can slap on a T shirt n shorts and still have that wholesome clean look. And girls who look like this look clean and fresh and healthy, especially when they wear those kind of fitting T shirts that only cover a bit of their upper arm, revealing just the right amount of fat on their arms. Guys love this shit man. When shopping, these girls end up looking quite good in almost everything they try on, because their proportion is so right, so they have to be very selective in what to buy.

Yea..so the basic thing with these girls is that they can go to sleep, wake up, brush teeth wash face, no need extra effort into dressing up or tidying hair or makeup, and just walk out, and look pretty decent. And dressing up, when they don't put in extra effort - they already look fine. The proportions are all there. But they look even better once they start to do those girly tricks of wearing certain things and combinations to show certain assets and hide certain non assets.

Manufactured Beauty

OK. People of this genre let me emphasize categorically, need NOT be ugly. In fact, they could have not bad features or proportion too. But generally, people of this disposition are physically not as well formed as people in the previous class. However, they have their own tricks too. There is makeup, dressing tricks that females employ, lighting, etc. These females probably need a little bit more time to prepare themselves and get ready. Then, they can even look hot. They usually fool most of the male population. I know I'm a sucker. Girls, when they see these kinds of girls, get annoyed when their boyfriends go "wow that chick is hot" because these girls KNOW what tricks are being employed. Thats why the true benchmark of a hot girl is when another girl says she is hot.

Ah. So. These people also look different when they are out compared to just after they wake up. Drastically more so than one with natural beauty. A true sign of a manufactured beauty. And when shopping, its not easy to find something that looks good on you and not just the model. But really, manufacturing one's aesthetic appearance is no crime. At least, after some touchups, you still look good, right? Some people do envy you for that. Manufactured beaty people cannot just wake up and brushteethwashface and walk out of the house. No way. They'd look too different, and their confidence would be affected.

No. To them, spending some extra time to put on some makeup, dress appropriately to highlight their small (example, example) waist, or wearing a certain type of top to make their decolletage look nicer, is all part of their everyday routine. Its like putting on armour, a mask if you will, to make them feel comfortable, confident and able to take on the world. Or just to look decent and presentable. No crime in that. It's like the (actually very) normal women who NEED to go to work in their high powered suits and jackets (especially if they are in banking and law) because its a psychological boost, part of psyching themself up to put on this veneer of toughness necessary to survive in their field.

Manufactured beauty people have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. A lot of the hairstylists and fashion people, when you really observe them, don't have good features or physical dimensions, but these are cleverly hidden.

Conclusion

I may be wrong. Haha, but hey, thats just one man's observations. No big deal. Its just physical aesthetics. Theres much more to life than that!
