Seriously, are Men's versions of Beauty different than Women's?

I'm a straight, 18 year old girl who appreciates beauty.
There is nothing more I love than a beautiful man or women.
Now here is what I consider beautiful:
- Classy
- Confident
- Natural
- Intelligent
It's a package you know? It's not just about looks, it's about a glow that originates from your soul. It's how you carry yourself and how you speak...its everything about you. A beautiful personality is deff key. Here are some pictures of what I consider beautiful.

So latley, there's been all this talk about this girl who just transferred to her school. Apparently she's the most beautiful girl ever, all the guys are heads over heels in love with her. So naturally, I couldn't wait to meet her and when I did....boy was I ever disapointed.
This girl was shallow to say the least. She wears five pounds of foundation, she even wears it on her legs! You never see her natural skin! So much eyeliner, so much blonde, so much abercrombie....so very mainstream. I suppose there's not a problem with that if you still manage to show personality but it deff wasn't coming out in her.
I remember this one conversation when the boys were teasing her, they said that the girls back in her home country must be just as beautiful as her. She got so offended, she said " No they're not, I'm the most beautiful one there."
Wow...just wow, so what's up guys? What do you consider beautiful?
Five Easy Steps to Perfect Your Life

Now, I'm no Guru. In fact, I'm only 18 years old, but trust me. These tips work.
Don't get discouraged because these are the same "tips" that every self-help book at Barnes&Nobles throws at you. Think about these tips, digest them. What does it mean to love, to live a good life? I know I didn't really understand till two years ago and even then, it took me a while to make peace with life.
FIVE EASY STEPS TO PERFECT YOUR LIFE
1. DON'T HATE...EVER
I know it's hard, it's possibly the hardest thing to do in the world but it's worth it. All that hate, all that anger that you carry around with you just drags you down. It only makes you miserable. It's so hard sometimes when people are just throwing "hate" at you and you just want to slap them in the face and tell them what a bitch they are.
So when you find yourself frustrated, angry, hateful just take a deep breath. Think about how much better your situation is than others out there. Count your blessings, find the positive attributes. I often find that no matter how much I may dislike a person, if I really look for it...I can find qualities about a person that I love.
Why this is important? My literature teacher, Mrs. Buckley told me that we won't achieve peace in the world until humanity as a species mentally evolves. Think about it, how many years have homo sapiens lived on this Earth? How much have we mentally matured? We still resort to violence, anger, hate and war to solve our issues. Now...you can't change the whole world, but if each person built a small bubble around them the world would be a much better place wouldn't it? Do your part to help humanity evolve emotionally!
2. STOP FEELING SORRY ABOUT YOURSELF, IT'S QUITE ANNOYING ACTUALLY
Hate to be a biatch, but most people don't feel sorry for you. Why not smile instead? It's so much easier, and it'll make other people happy too. Believe it or not, everyone has their own problems to deal with and by spreading your anguish your only spreading sorrow instead. Why not spread happiness? Not this is not to say don't talk about your problems. Everyone needs to talk about their problems but do it in private, with the people who you trust the most. Glaring at, yelling at and being all moody around anyone who you are not immensely close to is deff a no-no. It's rude, inconsiderate and it makes everyone's life miserable. When you’re in public, focus ion the positive...it will deff help improve your own mood and make friends.
3. EMBRACE YOUR SEXUALITY
I hate how taboo sexuality is in our society. I wish someone could tell me why our society is this way. Your body is a part of who you are. Be proud of it, don't be ashamed of all the pleasures the come from putting it to use. Now by no means should your sexuality be abused, I'm not indorsing slutism. Wait till your ready to "do it." But you know what, if you like sex...there's nothing wrong with it. In ancient cultures (Egyptian for example) sexuality was revered. Appreciate your body for what it is; shape, size, color, tingles in special places and all
4. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT
Within reason of course, so many of my adolescent years were spent worrying. Worrying about if people liked my clothes, worrying if people listened to the right music, worrying about if people thought what I was doing was dumb. It was exhausting. I went through a punk stage, a prep stage and I don't know what stage...none of them were me. Fitting into a label is exhausting but so is trying to be original. The solution? Just be yourself! If you are 45 and you like dancing dysfunctional-like to Britney Spears then more power to you! Don't be ashamed of it. I do whatever I like to do now without worrying about any inhibitions and people seem to like me a lot more for it!
5. BE HEALTHY
This is pretty self-explanatory so I don't know why so many people still don't follow a healthy life style. First of all, never diet. Diets are temporary solutions to a long term problem. Also, you need carbs because your brain feeds solely on carbs. So what to do instead?
Only eat till you feel half-way full because ten minutes later you'll feel stuffed. It more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Minimize meat in your diet, my family only eats it once a week and we are perfectly alive. I strongly suggest Asian cuisine (especially Indian) for yummy vegetable recipes. If you don't like the fresh foods don't give up, stick to it for a while. Chances are that your taste buds are dulled because you are used to the more intense tastes of processed foods.
Also take vitamin supplements, I know a lot of people say that if you don't need them then don't take them. My take on this? How are you going to know if you don't need them, you can't measure the vitamin content in your food. Just take the vitamins to pick up anything you might be missing for that day, what you won't need your body will get rid of. Also take calcium and fish oil supplements, this is defiantly a must. Also for calcium, your body can't absorb more then 600mg of calcium at a time and or every 600mg it needs 200mg of Vitamin D so your body can absorb it.
Don't eat corn syrup, I don't care what those silly commercials say it's worse for you then sugar. Your body doesn't recognize it so it's harder for it to break the syrup down which places stress on your body. Plus it's EVERYWHERE, so it's not like your digesting a minimum amount where it wouldn't affect you. You can binge and indulge yourself every now and then but on a day to day status, eat healthy.
