CTP (S4E162) Beauty On A Spectrum

CTP (S4E162) Beauty On A Spectrum
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective
We dig into why “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is true in practice, using real examples to show how attraction forms and why people disagree so hard about it. We also connect beauty standards to inner character, culture-war outrage, and even music taste, because preference runs deeper than looks. 
• our personal breakdown of beauty categories and why they exist 
• why “terminally cute” and “intriguing beauty” hit differently than “drop dead gorgeous” 
• how inner beauty can raise attraction and “inner ugly” can destroy it fast 
• the Sydney Sweeney backlash and how politics warps pop culture reactions 
• the American Eagle “genes vs jeans” dust-up and what it reveals about outrage culture 
• why music tastes mirror beauty preferences and why there is no universal ruler

Welcome And Format Notes

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Hello, welcome to another episode of Prestitutionalist Podcast. I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard. That's L-E-N-A-R-D at the Francis Nodit's wonderful down and oh. Thank you for tuning in. As Graham Norton used to say on his show. Let's get on with the show!

SPEAKER_00 0:35

This is a sheet segment.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

I am recording this as a lead-in to a standard Saturday show that is going to now air through the audio platforms 25 plus of Christitutionalist Podcasts. What was formerly a CTP video exclusive that I feel needs to go out as a regular show. So bear that in mind when recorded it was a video exclusive. The dates it could be from a month ago, it could be from a couple months ago. Bear that in mind when you hear things regarding time frames, it may be from a while ago. Particular references may be a little dated. And this segment achieved. Without further ado, let's get on with the show! Another add-on segment before we get into beauty

Setting Up Beauty And Taste

SPEAKER_01 2:03

in the eye of the beholder. Oh, let me make a note here also to include at the end uh ear of the beholder. Music genre preferences also, you know, beauty in what you find beautiful music or good music, great music. Thrash metal would in no way, shape, or form, I would say be called beautiful music, but hey, I like it a lot. I have several songs recorded that with with that genre. Anyway, today is indeed prior video exclusive, but unlike the other shows with prior video exclusive, this is gonna combine three previous video exclusive shows. Beauty in the eye of the holder one from 2025, August 23rd, Beauty 2, season 3, November video exclusive number 12, 2025, 11, 26, November 26, and Beauty 3, which has the video. I think it has the video of it. I think it was only the video. Anyway, I can't take too much time because I've got three prior video exclusive. Oh, also related to be talk of standards, so I made myself a note. The lax standard show, season three, twenty twenty-six, oh six twenty-three. Six six months, yeah. At any rate, so indeed, here we go. Hello, everyone. Welcome to season three, episode one hundred and fourteen. Of course, I have multiple hundred episodes.

Why Beauty Feels Personal

SPEAKER_01 4:34

The numbering of the that season three, one, one, four is now the normal Saturday monologues since the beginning of the show in 2023. Uh, the guest specials during the week, indeed, I run as specials, so they don't run up that number. I don't play those games to try to make it look like, oh, I've been around forever and I've got a bazillion. I don't play those games, but at any rate. Thank you, and shout out to Rusty's Dad and Panther 1890 on True Social. I have been talking about the topic of this show. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for decades. I've never officially put it into print anywhere. So I'm doing a show officially on it so that then too. Yes, I'll probably run this through a transcriber or the Galaxy AI video summarizer so that I can port it over to beforenews.com and sub my substack page, and probably even savaged unfiltered uh.com in the blogs there, blog spot. I'll probably blast this everywhere. Cause indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What brought this out? Well, uh oh, let me go back to the screen to Truth Social. Panther 1890 said, good grief, that the best the left can garner. Double question mark. My pitbull, pit bull, aka Rusty's dad, quoted that with, I will take Sydney Sweeney any day with or without makeup. Okay. Uh Sydney Sweeney aside, and again, no, if you look at my shirt for the book of Kennedy, for those looking behind the scenes, you can also check video exclusive BitChute Brighty on uh Daily Motion in France, Rumble and YouTube. I have a short three-minute video about no, this is not Sydney Sweeney, but thank you for asking. Gives me a chance to talk about my book because the shirt, the AI generated image of Kennedy resembles Sydney Sweeney a bit. And I lost my train of thought now. But anyway, indeed, this feeds into that whole thing on True Social why I'm doing this now. Beauty indeed in the eye of the beholder. We all see beauty kind of differently. So it's time I officially put my theory of why that is indeed uh computes as a theory, right? One guy could look at a girl or a girl can look at a guy and think, right, for men, there's different categories too. Some of the same categories will apply. Uh, like before I go into female beauty, back in the day, remember, it's a wonderful life. There, a lot of people, a lot of women found uh uh Jimmy Stewart. I called him kind, I would put as a male category a dorky beauty, a right, a kind of a dorky, sunny looking guy that a lot of females found attractive. But today, mainly talking male towards what is beautiful in a female, and indeed, I printed the response I made to Rusty's Dad and Panther 1890 over on Truth Social. I'll try to remember to put the screenshot of this image in later. Uh, or I would I I always forget my categories, which is why I needed to write them down indeed, right? I say I as I've established now for sure, blah blah blah blah blue. There are categories

The Host’s Beauty Categories

SPEAKER_01 9:19

like drop dead gorgeous. That's a category that most men find a particular woman drop dead gorgeous. I'm not going to name many names. You decide what names you think may fit in that category, right? Terminally cute, and I'll explain shortly. Intriguing beauty. I put like a Steve Enix, a Pat Benatar, and others in that category, and I'll explain that further. And even a plain Jane, kind of pretty category, right? There's and I'm sure I've already forgotten several of my categories that I've come up with over the years because I've never officially put it down in writing or in a recording for playback. But I like to say for two of the categories, let's think about that. It's the tale of two Emmas. All right? You have Emma Watson, who, when her hair is short, especially, has a perpetual younger look even into her aging years now. I I'm I mean she's only what in her 20s, uh low 30s at the most. I I don't know. I don't follow her career closely. I was never a big Potter movies fan or books fan. So at anyway, Emma Watson, terminally cute. I put her in that category. A lot of people, a lot of male men, indeed think she's beautiful, right? Terminally cute. She's got a perpetual youthful cute appearance, in my pi opinion. And indeed, that's what I responded on True Social about Sydney Sweeney. I think she's cute, not gorgeous. But with you on what you said, let's uh uh I also PG 13 now category, right? I also went on to say, let's be honest, her body helps her overall rating since you know all through time we've been putting numbers on the sex appeal of women, right? A whole other show to discuss the sexualization and objectification of women, whole other story. That being a given, still a thing on this planet why I'm doing this here. So her body helps her overall rating, so to speak, go up from like a 6.5 to an 8. Okay. If you want to call me rude and crude and sexist for saying that, go right ahead, right? I I'm just dealing in the real world as it exists, and these things, these kind of rankings and the objectification of women is a thing. I'm just dealing with that reality here. So I I consider Sydney cute, not gorgeous. Emma Watson, terminally cute. Emma Stone, very different looking than Emma Watson, an intriguing beauty. I put right, her face is very different from what would be in a drop-dead gorgeous category, but pretty nonetheless. So, all right, am I digging myself a hole here? Is this a topic I shouldn't have gone into on a Christian show, but again, the show dealing in reality of the world as it is, not as we'd like it. It would be nice if, at any rate, uh it is what it is. I've said what I've said, I'm not taking any of it back. I'm just giving you my real as a worldly guy perspective here as to what goes on out there, right? At any right. Stop digging, right? So I'm gonna stop digging my hole here and indeed go over. Beauty does indeed lie in the eye of the beholder, male or female. It's not as if women don't

When Inner Beauty Changes Everything

SPEAKER_01 14:32

objectify a bunch of men, too, right? Look at a George Clooney, who you know, I don't like personally as a person, because you know, he's a communist, uh, but as opposed to this show being about biblical community, right? But men do it towards women, women do it, objectification of men towards men too. So it's not like I'm not dealing in reality here, I'm dealing in the world as it exists here. So to recap and to wrap it up, this is gonna be a short one. I could go much longer, but as they say, just stop digging the hole, right? There's drop dead gorgeous, terminally cute, intriguing beauty, and even plain Jane kind of pretty. There's something for everyone, right? Come bring to mind, speaking of the maybe if things weren't this way, life could be better, and in some respects it would be. Think of the movie Shallow Hell, right? With Jack Black, where he always objectified all women, and what was it? That someone put a spell on him or God zapped him or whatever. I I mean that movie's so old now, to where he saw inner beauty rather than exterior beauty, and that matters. Like, let me go back to let me change it from her body helps her overall radio, so to speak, from a 6.5 to an eight. Inner beauty also can take a six and a half to an eight, but it can also take a ten to a five, the inner ugly, so to speak. I right women, you know, some men might look great on the outside, but are ugly on the inside, and that certainly detracts from what you would call their handsomeness, right? Same with women. Some women might be considered drop dead gorgeous 10 on the outside, but then opens her mouth and that inner ugly spews, and she quickly drops to a five. So indeed, I am gonna wrap this up now. Uh, not quite a topic you would expect for this show, but again, this show does not always deal in Christianity or politics. This is an issue of reality, and having come

Sydney Sweeney, Politics, And Backlash

SPEAKER_01 17:38

across all this Sydney Sweeney stuff and the hate she gets from some less than attractive folks, let's just say, makes it a uh topic du jour of the time, right? I'm sorry, I'm dealing in the news. What the what's happening in the news? And Sydney Sweeney is getting, in some respects from the right, maybe a little more love than she deserves, and certainly getting a heck of a lot of hate from the worldly communists because it's been outed that she's a registered Republican and she's on board with MAGA. So the Trump derangement syndrome is certainly factoring in here too. And uh let me the American Eagle. I I ran into someone at an eatery the other day. I will extend this a little bit. Who has TDS? Just never-ending, right? American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney, and the Jeans ad, which, yes, you could find uh a video exclusive show at BitChute, Bridey on Daily Motion, Rumble, YouTube, also on the whole American Eagle ad campaign, dust up this idiocy of oh, it's eugenics. No, it's actual DNA science, real science, not your leftist demo KKK Rat's Margaret Sanger eugenics nonsense that the Nazis bought into and picked up. It is you on the left that created that fake science of eugenics. The ad is talking a play on G-E-N-E-S, which we all either have good DNA or not. Like me, I wouldn't say I've got great genes. My family genealogy has a history on my dad's side of heart issues. It's why I had on May 1st haver, heart valve replacement surgery. I wish my genes, I hope and pray most other people have better genes actually than I, right? And that's coming from someone of German descent. I don't buy into the eugenics nonsense. Not all Germans do. The Nazi idiocy. You on the left are the Nazis that created the eugenics. But yet you're trying to call Sydney Sweeney a Nazi for her good genes G-E-N-E-S versus J-E-A-N-S joke, play on words there. And American Eagle, uh the T D S person at the eatery the other day. Oh, did you hear? American Eagle is dropped by Sydney Sweeney. The person solely responsible for tanking American, they have record sales, but her TDS has to mean she, I'm pointing to my shirt, that's not Sydney Sweeney. I already told you that, but yeah, trying to equate Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle jeans with Trump because Sydney voted for Trump. The two don't go hand in hand. They are separate issues. But her and her TDS is trying to revel in the thought that American Eagle dipped 8% one day. Well, of course, because she doesn't understand economics and how the stock market works, people bought in. Some of them decided to then sell after it gone up 15%, then another 10% to take a profit. So then it dipped 8%.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

It's still at the time of this recording up 26.5% over last month. But no, oh, oh.

SPEAKER_01 23:19

So anyway, now I've touched on several issues. Not that I needed to go into the American Eagles right record sales. Their stock is still way up. They're doing great. They're loving it. Sydney Sweetie, you know, put them way into the stratosphere on the maps as far as gene sales go. And this indeed does tie to beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I think she's cute. I don't think she's gorgeous. But hey, whatever floats your below. And the jeans has nothing to do with eugenics. And indeed, the uh the sex cells, right? Again, back to objectif, I can't say that word. Objectification of women, right? Pat Banatow, I mentioned, right, in the intriguing beauty category. She eventually came out with a song called Stop Using Sex as a Weapon. Well, Pat, I'm sorry, I've gotta call you out for your hypocrisy. For years, you let the record company convince you and Neil to play down your relationship, to give the illusion that you were available, so they could use your sex to sell albums, and you were fine with that. But years later, all of a sudden, stop using sex as a weapon. Well, you're a hypocrite for what you allowed for years to help sell your music, your albums. So now I've really tied a whole bunch of stuff into this. They do all relate. I am gonna tune out now. Thank you all for those of you who managed to make it through this whole show of rambling, of related topics. Take care. God bless, be good to each other. Can we please be better to each other? And that's part of the left is hate. Hate, hate, hate. Trump derangers hate people that hate thin people. More people that hate rich people. Blacks that hate whites, whites that hate black. You know, this that there is none more hateful, spiteful, envious, jealous, covetous than a person on the left of the political spectrum. And this has got to stop. Thank you all. Take care, God bless you. It's kind of a quasi-follow-up to beauty in the eye of the beholder episode, uh, especially the video version. Uh that's an episode, obviously. You're talking physical appearance,

Psychology Of Beauty And Public Norms

SPEAKER_01 27:08

best viewed on video rather than heard on the 25 plus audio-only platforms. I'm calling this one the science and psychology of beauty. And I I don't want to get in depth in this. I did beauty in the eye of the beholder, and the different classifications. Science and psychology of beauty, the categories or classifications, as I call them, and indeed the human uh especially. This goes for women too. This is not like those who find George Clooney handsome, the dorky kinda handsome classification or category of what I would say was a Jimmy Stewart. He was rather clunky and quirky and dorky, and at least in my opinion, but hey, he was considered a sex symbol of his time. But I'm talking mainly male attractiveness towards female classifications of beauty here, cause it's something I more easily relate to, obviously, right? As an actual straight man, an actual male, and spare me the toxic masculinity thing. No. I did another show on right uh voice over and liberal women complaining about why are all the men worth dating Republican because they're actual men, they're conservative, they're more traditional, they're real men. All the ones you turned into weak effeminate slayboys. Again, whole other topic. Weird whole Patrick Delfe thing about you don't have to get into a casino or suit to fly on when you don't have to wear a ball gown on the idiocy of daytime pajamas and way too comfortable in this idiot attire that should be for inside your home. Right? There's nothing wrong with blue jeans and whatnot. Yeah. Over time, we have gotten more relaxed in our attire, but to the point of pajamas and sweats everywhere. Ridiculous. And the discussion don't take off your shoes and pop your feet up while on the plane. Even further excuse me. I apologize. Anyway, at any rate, yeah. Don't take off your damn shoes. I personally don't get it. And again, I don't want to have a long discussion of what may or may not make a man or a woman into what really into one particular attractiveness towards one particular body part or another or a a fetish a a a honing in on a particular emeration. I don't know what I'm saying here. Yeah, an affection towards foot fetishes, especially, right? They're bony, they're generally ugly, and whatever though. I'm not trying to knock anyone into such a thing. And hey, you women making money, an OnlyFans showing off your feet to a lot of weird old uh men with money willing to pay you to show them your feet, whatever, knock yourself out. Uh but that goes back to like categories of physicality and preferences, uh, the science and psychology of beauty. Now, I'm not gonna repeat it all, but I just wanted to use this to set that up because now all of a sudden, beauty in the eye of the holder is quickly now shooting up to constitutionalist podcasts, number one overall, most viewed, for sure. Again, it's something you want to view, but most overall viewed and listened to combined, you know, most number one in uh uh favorite, I guess, episode out of the CTP catalog. Although I recent just today, as I'm recording this Wednesday, November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Um David Bedford talking about the Beatles. I released the behind the scenes sneak peek video days ago, and it's shooting up the list in most it's in the top 10 already. It may very soon now that it's released across the 25 plus audio platforms become quickly the number one CTP episode of all time. I'm only in my third season, but you know, I find it kind of interesting the the things that move up the list, shows that I think are very, very important, uh, get supplanted by things that are a little more, let's say, entertainment value oriented. Anyway, I will put at the bottom of the screen. I created a shortcut to the Beauty Eye of the Beholder behind the scenes sneak peek video version of Beauty Eye of the Beholder, tinyur.com slash science and psychology of beauty. If you've not checked out that episode, tune in to see what you were missing. Thank you all. Take care, God bless. And indeed, if you're flying somewhere, if you're even renting a car and drive wear some realistic clothing, please. Don't take off your shoes and your socks, even in your car if you're alone in the car. Can we have some self-respect and decency and keep some norms? Again, I don't expect people wearing suits and ties on planes or ball gowns, but come on. Leave the sweats. Full disclosure, sweats, my sleep attire, I'm still in it, right? Oh, I'm beauty. Uh no, this isn't Sydney Sweeney. I might the Book of Kennedy Project Herpadium shirt and that didn't wind up being the cover. I had the shirts made up before the book cover ultimate design was made. But this version of Kennedy, this version, it's the same woman, but she looks slightly different because of the way the hair is done and makeup and whatnot. But you know, the boy uh no, that's not Sydney Sweeney. The AI image creation of Kennedy, uh, the female lead in the book of Kennedy Project Carpentum does resemble her somewhat. And yeah, I had the shirts made up. Indeed, people come up. Oh, is that Sydney Sweeney on your shirt? No, but hey, let me talk to you about my book, right? It's just intelligent marketing and promotion.

SPEAKER_05 36:41

You call yourself a background face, standing in the corners of the place, laughing it off. Guess I'm just plain Jane. But I watch the way your eyes miss be a beauty in

A Song On Beauty’s Spectrum

SPEAKER_05 36:59

the eye, in the eye of the beholder. I keep looking twice every time I get closer from the shy little smile that you're tryna mute to the way Lot of room, and I won't have to from I'm nothing special in your bedroom shoes. Determinely cute in the way you move. Oh, beauty in the eye, in the eye of the beholder. And I can't get over you. Sunday sweats and hair up halfway, coffee on your lip, you say you're a mess today. Then you show up dressed in at midnight blue. Elegant as if the world waits on you Beauty in the eye in the outer boulder Every time you turn, every page I read the flow, you're an industry. Cover on the quiet shelf of the words. I do rearrange myself from nervous to effort crazy, the eye in the eye of the board. Crying in the kitchen at night Bareface broken, still somehow. Drop dead, gorgeous in the here and now Beauty in the eye, in the eye the beholder. Every shade of you getting bolder and bolder from ordinary days, eating take out food to the dresser makes a whole street turn for you. From I'm hard to love whispered like it's true. To a masterpiece that only grew. Oh beauty in the eye, in the eye, the beholder. And my eyes choose you. Beauty in the eye. A beholder. From plain Jane. Talentally cute to elegant look to intriguing colour on a book to Drop that gorgeous spectrum. You called yourself plain as a paper plate. Chew the nails, second hand shooters, still laughing so loud, they all look beautiful. You think you blend in fade in the hall. But every tiny freckle writes on the wall. Beauty lives on a spectrum of your face. From just okay to eye can look away. Every angle, every awkward face. All of it counts, all of it stays. From underweed, cover the hearts in a flood of your every shape, from simple to a maze. Beauty lives on a spectrum of your face. Beauty lives off your face. Cherry on your tongue, ribbons in your room. Then one day you walk in still. Next line whisper eyes like guilt. Stay there too long, you strift to wait. It's too much to risk, it's just late. All of it down, all of it.

SPEAKER_03 41:56

Music tastes for the beholder. Some days it feels right. Some days I just shrug my shoulders. What it's me now might miss

Like beauty in the eye of beholder. Sometimes it feels right.

SPEAKER_03 44:13

Sometimes it just Shrug your shoulders. Country pop, rock and tune, spin the room a little slower.

SPEAKER_06 44:22

Jazz for the late night thinkers. Rap for the ones who move. RB for the soft hearts. Every shade has to go. That's how the story goes.

SPEAKER_04 45:00

One voice is played again. Another steps not bye-bye. Keep spectrum to the laugh and the eye.

SPEAKER_06 45:10

Just pass it by. Death was for the late night. Rap for the one to move. RD for the soft. Every shade have a groove. Just go check the wood of your move.

SPEAKER_03 45:31

Trash metal even my beer makes you move.

SPEAKER_06 45:37

I got the old. Keep you bold. I got the old. Serious or silly.

SPEAKER_04 45:49

That's just how the story goes.

SPEAKER_06 45:52

So let it be strange.

SPEAKER_04 45:54

Let it be sweet. Let it be wild. Let it miss something. What you call no idea. Different ears. Different heart.

SPEAKER_06 46:07

What the stone breaks you open gives the bowl. In the ear. Of the big hole. That's serious. So silly. That's how the story goes. Music tastes in the ear of the behover.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

Much like beauty.

SPEAKER_07 46:26

In the eye of the behover.

SPEAKER_02 46:28

Sometimes feels right. Other times make songs shrug their shoulders.
