Art is a physical representation of emotion, and can be expressed in countless different ways. I propose that for some people, their very appearance is their art form. This form of art is more common for women than it is for men, spending hours a day trying to express their own idea of physical beauty through the way they dress or the makeup they put on. This often subconscious art form is often superficial, but it could also be very deep, and is art nevertheless. Whether they are aware of it or not, some of these “Shallow” people are artistic geniuses, capturing the very essence of emotion in the way they look, which with our limited language can be too difficult for most to capture in any other conventional way.
Good art is a new interpretation, or retelling, of an emotion that the viewer of the art can connect with. Yet most women simply copy other women’s styles. They modify themselves in a way to make them more evolutionarily appealing from a sexual perspective, but they lose their own uniqueness. A truly beautiful woman is one who makes herself physically appealing in a unique way.
I see many attractive women, who have good genetics and should be appealing from an evolutionary perspective, but I am now only attracted to those who have something unique about them or express a new perspective on their idea of physical beauty. Therefore, I believe many people are not only attracted to beautiful people from an evolutionary/sexual perspective; they are attracted to the emotion they get when they connect with a piece of art. Men are visual, so the art they most easily connect with is visual. Women are more verbally based, and are then more easily attracted to the emotion they receive through the way a man talks.
Deepen your perspective to appreciate all art forms. A person giving you attention solely based on the way you look is not necessarily shallow; he or she might truly connect with the emotion you are subconsciously portraying in yourself.
Even if a woman doesn’t believe her physical appearance is the most important part of her, she might feel socially influenced to “Play along” with the rest of society. Because attractive people receive attention at a young age from the opposite sex, their social status increases. It is difficult for men to be deep when they are young, so they admire a woman for the easiest and most superficial part of her. This makes it difficult for these disadvantages types of men or women to become anything other than emotionally shallow. Yet they are walking art pieces. It is both beautiful and tragic.
2 ways:
1. Beautiful in the physically/genetically/sexually/survival of your gene type of way.
2. Admiring their perspective on what their idea of beauty, or even satire on cultural expectation of beauty is, seeing their personality from the way they modify themselves.
