Welcome to this series, in this span of videos, we are going to talk about how to be attractive based on the transcendentals. transcendental. I don’t know how to say that. But basically, there is an ancient concept in philosophy, it’s kind of a trinity of concepts that are kind of fundamental to just like being itself. And that is beauty, truth, and goodness. And I think that these are a good metaphor or way of thinking about how to be attractive, how to be the ideal woman from a man’s point of view. But you know, also from a healthy, high-quality man’s point of view losers going to get in there and be like, Oh, yeah, here’s what I want. And you’re like, yeah, that’s, that’s bad. But basically, this is a series I announced a little while ago, and I’m beginning the videos here. And we’re going to talk about like I said, How to be attractive. You know, there’s a lot of weird advice out there. And I think you have to filter through a lot of bad to find some good.

So I have collected here, what I feel is the best advice, as far as you know, being attractive, and how to attract men if you want to get married. There’s a lot of, you know, if you want like a one night stand, it’s very easy to attract men. And you know, just wear something skimpy and go to a club, but I’m gonna bet that those of you watching this want something a little more substantial. And you don’t just want to attract a man, you want him to stick around, and you want to attract a quality guy. And that’s what we’re going to talk about in this series.

There are three books that I primarily drew on technically four. They are fascinating womanhood, this is technically two books. These came from a series of pamphlets called secrets of fascinating womanhood. Basically, in the 30s, a bunch of psychologists got together and wrote a bunch of pamphlets on how to be attractive to men. And I was able to find these pamphlets. This was like 10 years ago, I don’t know where the link to it is. But I found it online, and I printed them out. So I have copies of the pamphlets. And then Helen, read the pamphlets, and, kind of, I want to say like edited and updated them a little bit in the 60s. And she wrote a book. now 80% of what’s in here is in here. So that’s the first source.

And then second, men are from Mars, women are from Venus, this is another really good book. And then this book, which I loaned to a friend, and she took the liberty of covering it because she is afraid of profanity. But the name of this book is why men love bitches, pardon the language. It’s a book on how to not be a doormat in relationships. So these three books, four books if you include the pamphlets, these three books, and these pamphlets are where I’m drawing the bulk of my information for this series, they’re all excellent books, and I think they all have an important angle to relationships. But I think it’s important that we look at, you know, just as a tripod, you know, like a stool with three legs or a tripod is, you know, one of the most sturdy structures, you know, you can sit on it, it can balance a camera, it’s very stable, especially on uneven terrain. So I think relationships should approach things from a three-pronged angle, you know, it’s important to be beautiful, you know, we have beauty, truth, and goodness, it’s important to be beautiful, it’s important to be good, you know, and but it’s also important to be truthful, you know, there are a certain honesty and reality that has to be kept in mind in relationships. And I feel like, you know, each one of these books and the pamphlets kind of approaches one or more of those three things. So that is what we are going to talk about now. Well, let’s start with some definitions, beauty, truth, and goodness.

Those are concepts that used to be very well known to the ancients, and people in like higher education, you know, that was like the good life, beauty, truth, and goodness were considered fundamental aspects of reality. And they are also considered we saw in you know, from theologians and philosophers like St. Thomas Aquinas, obviously, the channel is named after him, you know, they were very big on how God beauty truth and goodness is a reflection of God and the human heart because of that fact because we’re made for God. And because God is truth and God is good, and God is beauty. In a certain sense, God is all those things. Our hearts are made for those things because they’re aspects of God we were made for God St. Augustine says our hearts are ever restless. Until they rest in the award. And this kind of indicates that and so just as the human heart is oriented toward beauty, truth, and goodness, you know, as a woman, if you can embody these characteristics, I would argue that the male heart is going to be very oriented toward you. So that’s what we’re going to discuss.

And one thing, you know, that we tend to do nowadays is we tend to split these characteristics kind of think of beauty, as you know, just luxury truth, maybe it’s like law, a legal system. And then goodness, you know, kind of philanthropy being nice to people, these are three things that are actually, and once we get into the definitions, and also, especially in this video series, it’s going to get more clear, there is substantial overlap, you know, and there are certain things as we go through this series, you’re going to be like, Oh, that’s a beauty characteristic, I would consider that truth or that’s goodness, you know, because these things, they do overlap a lot.

So we will go with the first definition, St. Thomas doesn’t talk a lot about beauty, he gives a few sentences here and there. But like everything, his discussion of it is very clear. And he says beauty is that which pleases upon being seen, there are some criteria, you know, it has to have a certain proportion and symmetry, it has to be whole and complete if you’re missing an eye, that’s not gonna, that’s not gonna look beautiful in the classic sense of the term, then there has to be a certain like, splendor and radiance to it for Goodness, goodness is that which all things desire, the essence of goodness consistent is that it is in some way desirable. So goodness has to do with, you know, it is something that answers the inclination, you know, it has an appeal to the certain way we are. And so lots of things can be good, you know, when you’re hungry, food is good, when you’re curious knowledge is good, you know, good is a very, it is a somewhat subjective thing, you know, but it is desirable, you want it for some reason. And then the last one is truth, which comes from this is not unlike the other two, this is not from St. Thomas Aquinas, but this is actually like a Latin philosophical Maxim. And it will maybe it’s not a maxim, it’s like, it’s the definition, but it is, and bear with me, I’m going to quote some Latin at you. It is adaequatio rei et intellectus. And what that means is when the mind has the same form as reality, what is in here corresponds to what is out there, and there’s a match than truth has occurred, you know, it’s when your idea of reality matches the reality.

And so, naturally, truth is desirable, when you are doubting or concerned, and you need to know the truth of the matter. Truth becomes a good, it’s something good, you know, you kind of solves a problem. And then sometimes the truth can be very beautiful, the truth of a situation, if a man loves you, and he tells you, he loves it, and it’s the truth, then there’s something beautiful about that, you know, so as you can see, there’s a lot of overlap between these three concepts, they often will just kind of blend and weave one into another. It’s kind of just the nature of how it is but to… I made the best attempt I could to kind of split the whole area of attracting men kind of into these three categories. So that is what we are going to talk about today. And yes, so stay tuned.
