Your sense of beauty

[Inotdead]

A couple of years ago my friend and I were riding a tram from work, dead tired. We just sat there and chatted, until one of the stations a lady came in and stood right before us. She had an ass so magnificent that both of us just went silent simultaneously as we could only nod in understatement.
Yeah, that was some beautiful booty.

On a more serious note, I think it's not exactly right to diminish "beautiful" to "aesthetically pleasant". To me it's more that sometimes things have a certain feel about them, that makes them stand out and leave an engraving in memory. Milorad Pavic once wrote, that a reader finds what he couldn't find elsewhere in books, not what the author placed in them, but I think it kinda applies to all things. It's all about stumbling upon something that speaks to you.

Actually i can't handle a larger beauty topic or i would end up confusing myself and my research.
But on the other side, almost no one here have posted a simple aesthetical example, so both of us are sort of satisfied.
A forest landscape is beauty but it's also more than that, and i can "feel it" a bit in the post.

I think that our aesthetical beauty sense is just a training of our brain. There is not such thing like "absolute beauty" (speaking of pictures or people) and we are just trained to recognize something as "beauty". If someone, or almost everybody says that a forest landscape is ugly, we surely would look at it and see how ugly it is. Now we see it as beauty because is common to know that it's beauty for most.
Same is for a woman body. We can focus on the interesting parts of a woman (since are signal for a man), but we could decide that a big chest is ugly and smaller ones are the most beautiful things and if everybody thinks the same, any other people would think the same. (let's remember the idea of beauty woman in the medieval age).
Is training.

But how wide and flat is this training? Does all the "internet" world sees the same beauty? Have this some link to the country? Is it mostly a training from tv or from the land? Is it linked to books, knowledge? A lone child born in the wood would end up with the same beauty idea of another lone child left born in another far land?
Without know you, each of you, very well, i can't get any answer, so i'm not going to ask anything specific. I know my question is too much ambitious.

I would, though, look and see your idea of beauty and see if it could suggest me something.
I could see something unknown, or i could end up reading things i expected. It is fine, i will read it anyways with curiosity.

Thanks for your posts.

(i'm sleepy, so i could have wrote something too much abstract. I fixed some typo here and there but i now need to sleep. xD)

It can't.
The reason is simple.
Like the picture i have posted, you see this forest landscape. And maybe the taken photo or choosen view is a nice one and the internet people can look at it and agree that it is nice.
But, not thousands of pictures can reflect the beauty of this place.
Only if you stand by yourself in the morning at this tower, you feel the wind, you smell the trees, you listen the first birds, you see the fog and then you feel the first sunbeams at your face, just at this moment you see the whole beauty.
You can't do the same just to look at a static and not even an animated picture of that.

i grew up deep in the woods, we had 50 acres just at my house and that was a small/medium property for the area. the blue ridge mountains were within a few miles hiking distance and a teenage darwoth learned how to drive on skyline drive, the only folks that would say a forest or mountain range etc is beautiful due to internet consensus are those who have never been in one outside of a nature trail with a bunch of chattering tards to ruin the experience.

it was one of those days when it was a minute away from raining, there was this electricity in the air you could almost feel, there was this bag, caught in a breeze..

Ok, seriously, I used to live about 15 minutes away from Garden of the Gods park in Colorado, and on Saturdays I used to drive across the city to pick up this guy I worked with because we worked second shift during the week, and first on weekends. The whole place is made up of these massive red rock formations, and as the sun rises we would be driving through blazing a joint, and right as the sun comes up and hits the rocks, the entire area, everything you can see, is lit up pink. It was like being on some other planet, totally alone on the small winding roads at the base of the Rockies with everything you can see lit up this unearthly dull pink. It was just crazy, like a natural acid trip or something

A very good way of putting it. A picture is worth a thousand words, but experience is worth thousands more.

Ever been to Weaverville or Barnardsville?

if you mean the little hole in the wall in va we just called the whole area "bealeton" until you got to summerduck (used to race there and old dominion quite a bit) but anyway yes there was much good ol redneck hell raising in that area when i lived there, if you mean NC prob not even though i have been all through north and south carolina, mostly back and forth to charlotte though when i was derping around in NC. will probably move back within a few years actually, the further west you get from the east coast the more out of touch with reality and nonsensical people are
