Maybe, I’m just an old soul. Maybe, I want the best of both worlds. I like having an only fans and I love the convenience of the Internet and all the apps on my phone but part of me likes doing things the old-fashioned way. When I think back to how things used to be, it was rare to hear about surgery, lip fillers, fake boobs, it was easy to find someone without a tattoo, but now it seems that everyone, regardless of income is finding the money to alter their appearance it seems like we have less variety and more of a standard of what is beautiful.
When I was younger, I had a children’s book called, What is Beautiful? By Robert Sargent, it was a 1970’s or 60’s storybook the plot of the book, was a turtle and a rabbit discussing what it beautiful, but they can’t agree and it finally ends with the conclusion that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This was a fairly deep thought for my young mind, but I thought about it a lot over the years. Like many of those books from childhood they never left me completely. They formed who I was, even my online screen name is from a children’s book the devoted friend by Oscar Wilde. So, what is beautiful? Is it in the eye of the beholder?
We live in an age full of possibility the Internet has opened up a global marketplace. We can have clothing and beauty products from all over the world yet it seems like a few websites a few influencers determine what is beautiful to us. They’ve always been influences in our lives whether it was TV, movies, or magazines something has always helped to shape our idea of beauty. I’m now in my 50s. I don’t have anything to prove anymore. I don’t have to be popular. I feel like I finally reached an age where I can settle into who I am and what I enjoy and yes, some of that is nostalgia for the beauty trends that influenced me in the past. If you follow me on any of the social media platforms, you may have noticed that I have a love of thrift stores, antique shops, books, and yes, vinyl records.
And if you follow my spicier sites, you won’t find any tattoos, piercings apart from ears, no fake breasts, you’ll find a natural body of a 53 yr old woman with nostalgic memories of vintage playboy pinups. What is beautiful? Maybe we can just agree to disagree, except that it is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
Thank you for listening,

Great topic to ponder, outward beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. you have what society decides is beautiful at any given time period, but that rarely aligns with my own, sometimes with with certain things. Most have their own taste, speaking from a guys perspective, some like curvy girls, some like thin. athletic, some even like fat, etc.
IMO true beauty always lies within, what kind of person are you, do you have a good heart, how do you treat people, especially people less fortunate than you, be it with looks, physical ability, money. Are you kind to people who can’t do anything to make it “worth your while”
I’ll avoid going into the opposite side of that coin with examples of people being “ugly” to others, since this is about beauty, but what’s inside is what truly determines beauty, to me.
Yes I agree character plays a big role!
