Are You a Barbie Doll, Faded Beauty or Timeless Beauty?

Why do we as women go through so much to pain in order for men to look at us? I think that it is because we seek external approval to validate our existence. We feel that if we are perfect enough we will then be worthy enough to attract and keep true love, the perfect man who will adore and respect us. But the truth of the matter is no man is ever going to love and respect us more than we love and respect ourselves. Most women think of the perfect man as being wealthy and a perfect provider ... the Alpha male. Read the characteristics of the so-called-perfect-man, and then determine if you are a Barbie Doll, Faded Beauty or Timeless Beauty.Alpha MaleWho are alpha males Hugh Hefner, Donald Trump, Michael Jordan famous wealthy athletes, movie stars. Show me a man who is wealthy and famous, and I'll show you a man who is 99.9% likely to be unfaithful in a committed relationship. The alpha male is the individual in the community whom the others follow and defer to. Humans and their nearest species-relatives, the chimpanzees, show deference to the alpha of the community by ritualized gestures such as bowing, allowing the alpha to walk first in a procession, or standing aside when the alpha challenges. Canines also show deference to the alpha pair in their pack, by allowing them to be the first to eat and, usually, the only pair to mate. The status of alpha is generally achieved by means of superior physical prowess.

A faded beauty is a woman who feels and projects in her behaviors that her best years are behind her, and that her self-esteem and self-worth is based on her physical appearance and how she compares to other women. A faded beauty desperately holds on to her youthful beauty fearing that without it she is invisible. These are signs that you are a faded beauty.o In high school, college or during your general youth you were considered to be the most beautiful and hottest girl around. The guys adored you and you could have any man that you wanted. Now that you have married and / or had children you feel frumpy, old and unattractive. Without your looks, you have no idea of who you are and where you belong in life. You spend most of your time thinking about how you use to look back in your heyday.o You haven't changed your hairstyle, makeup, or style of clothes since you were seventeen-years-old. You psychologically compare yourself to younger women thinking to yourself how you could take there man, if you were 10 years younger.o You wear heavy make-up to hide the bags under your eyes, the wrinkles and age spots on your face. You feel that without your make up you are unattractive, even when going for a walk or quick run to the grocery store or gas station.o Your focus is completely on how you can improve or how you hate your appearance.o You haven't learned anything new in the last ten years. You don't read books, you haven't taken any classes, and you don't volunteer your time. You are bored with your own life.o If you talk to someone who had not spoken to you in 10 years, what would new things would you tell them about your life? If you have nothing new to talk about you are a faded beauty; not because of the natural changes in your physical body but because of the lack of changes in your contribution to this existence, even if it's trying a new recipe or taking a dance class.o You don't like to leave the house because you don't look the way you did prior to giving birth to your children or simply gaining weight. Faded beauties think that their self-worth is nothing more than their physical appearance.o You don't bother to buy new clothes or wear make-up, because you feel that you need to first lose weight or have cosmetic surgery before you can love and accept yourself.Timeless BeautyOprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Barbara Streisand, Queen Latifah and Sophia Loren are a few of the women whom I consider to be ageless beauties.
