    Does Beauty exist or is it a made-up myth, constructed for profitand pleasure, or is there something deeper to all this. beauty

    provokes pleasure, rivets attention, and impels actions that helpensure the survival of our genes.(Etcoff, 1999 p. 25)

    Is physical attraction therefore then crucial to our choice of partner,our procreation opportunities and ultimately our survival.

    We love the look at smooth skin, thick shiny hair, curvedwaists, and symmetrical bodies because in the course ofevolution the people who noticed these signals and desiredtheir possessors had more reproductive success. We are

    their descendants.(Etcoff, 1999 pp. 25-6)

    While this argument is compelling, other factors need to beconsidered.
