What physical aspects are considered beautiful, and what must one do to become beautiful? How do certain influences such as  culture, media, family, friends, our future children, and age affect our perceptions of what beauty is? We were curious about this very issue, so we conducted our own study by interviewing males and females of different races and ages just to hear what you...the people perceive as physical beauty. The questions that were asked were: 

1. What is your perception of physical beauty?

2. What are the physical attributes you look for when you are looking for a mate?

3. Can you list them in categories of extremely important, very important, important, not so important?

4. Why do you think these things matter to you?

5. Do you think the media /magazines help perpetuate your perception of what beauty is ?

6. Does your family and friends help influence your thoughts of what physical beauty is?

7. Do you rate a person's beauty based on what your friends think?

8. If you were put in a situation where there were only two women or two men in the world and you had to choose one; When you chose one the other would disappear, would it be; PERSON (A )who has all of the physical attributes (looks) that you wanted but had a very nasty attitude and treated you bad, or PERSON (B) who does not have what you want physically and is ugly but treats you like the real Queen or King you should be treated as. (Remember once you made your choice the other person disappears forever).

9. Are the qualities you look for important because you're thinking about what you're future children will look like, or do you think what you prefer is an innate condition?

10. Do you think culture plays a major role?
