I think women look at other women and recognize beauty (as the looker sees it) because we often compare ourselves to other women. This is partly natural, and partly because of the media.

I don't think beauty standards are defined only by men, at least not anymore. Women these days are running magazines, too, refusing to ban skinny models in the US, etc. I don't think skinny models should be banned (if it's normal for them--and I think the vast majority of them aren't a healthy weight), but I bring this up to show the attitude that our society has. I think we should see beautiful models of all healthy sizes and shapes, and physical beauty should not come in one size and shape.

As Rayna said, I don't know why I find attractive what I find attractive, but I'm positive media and society have contributed to it.

I believe sexuality is very complicated. I think homosexuality is something you're probably born with, but I'm open to there being more that contributes to it. However, I don't think that because a boy likes to play with girls' dolls (even though we all know G.I. Joe is a doll, too! ), or a girl is a tomboy, they will be gay.

I think one of the most important things is, give yourself time. Don't be in a hurry to define yourself. You don't have to figure it all out at once.
