Provocative Thoughts on Beauty: The Attractiveness of Motion
Last one for tonight on the beauty series, and thanks for your many comments. I know there was something transactional about today, but I thought it would be fun to try something a little different. I was feeling stale writing-wise, and this is my way of doing something new. I'll try to go back and answer them quickly. This last one is short and sweet and inspired by a post done by Myxldove sometime ago. It also helps balance out what I said in the last post.
I truly believe that Beauty is stillness, but Attractiveness is motion. Many a woman and man do not look so great in their still, posed photos, but are very alluring when you talk to them and see them in action. The person who relies merely on photos or aiming for the person who sounds and acts sexiest may be disappointed. There's nothing objective about your lover; it's deeply subjective and they should touch you at the core of what it means to be you.
Real life isn't a wedding portrait. Real life is constant motion, and it takes a special person to seem even more attractive the faster they must move and talk and act. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, as the saying goes. But attractiveness happens when you feel like the ONLY beholder...or it feels like it is just you and them and no one else in the world.

Awesome
Really enjoyed this read!
Hm. I think the most perceptive moment was the idea that attractiveness can only be captured by the motion of a person.
This is an interesting concept. I don't think I've really considered the difference. I agree that attractiveness is evident through motion.

Now you've got it!
@Pickwick12 - Thanks! And I need to go back and respond to your very detailed comment. Pickwick, you always have thoughtful comments, and I admire that.
@singinglynnie - Thank you!
@Levanna - You, my friend, are a master (mistress?) of being attractive in motion.
@stunning_dor2 - A few of my friends turned out to be real charmers once I interacted with them 1-1. I remember one woman in particular who swept me off my feet in about an hour, haha, even though I had had class with her for months and not been attracted...
I see what you're saying but I'd almost have to disagree... almost. I dunno, I'll probably figure it out more in a week or so. But I do like that this is a topic.
@GreekPhysique - Thank you
This has such depth to it! I loved it! I agree 100%... "Real life isn't a wedding portrait." You nailed it
Like on Facebook. Our photo albums may contain beautiful photos but that doesn't mean we all carry ourselves well.
