I would add, however, that I'm not comfortable with your "despite society" qualifier. I believe that GreenStormCloud was making a distinction between sexually-desirable/fertile (i.e. biological beauty) and some kind of social construct like true-beauty/inner-beauty. The OP is talking about a social construct, i.e. true-beauty/inner-beauty, whereas GreenStormCloud is discussing biological and evolutionary beauty (which are not social constructs, imo).
So, if you're saying that GreenStormCloud's post was slightly off topic, you may have a point. If you're saying that beauty, as described above by GreenStormCloud, is a social construct, I disagree. I think it's biological and evolutionary. That's been my experience, in any event.
