As I watched people's reactions to being called beautiful in an indirect way ("we're here today taking a picture of something we find beautiful" - as the camera is pointed at the subject) it's easy to notice the direct correlation between the people who smiled and accepted the compliment and those that did not.
The women that smiled in flattery and thanked the cameraman were usually healthy, happy and thus more attractive looking. The women that shy'd away, attempted some form of deflection or avoidance of the compliment (often with laughter) were usually unhealthy, unhappy and thus uglier looking.
If the studies sited on this forum that indicate people with conservative leanings are more attractive than those with liberal leanings are true, what does that say about self-esteem and political ideology? Any one of us can look at the ugly women becoming indignant at the compliment made to them and assume with relative accuracy that they probably majored in gender studies and just got done protesting a conservative speaker with their faces covered, but that's not what I'm getting at.
Self-Esteem is an interesting thing because having high self-esteem doesn't equate to beauty. I've met plenty of gorgeous girls whose self-esteems' were in the gutter and the inverse with men - high self-esteem but with a face only a mother could love. And it's not that these women were born ugly, as we've seen from the RoK articles demonstrating how feminism destroys female beauty, it's that they made themselves ugly. I just can't imagine becoming angry at someone that genuinely told me they think I'm beautiful.
