But I want to take it slightly further. I don't agree that we should never call women beautiful because there are some days when everyone deserves to hear that. Their wedding day for example. On your wedding day, you want to be seen as happy, vivacious, loved up and all the rest of it, but you've spent hours having your hair and make up profesionally done, searching for the right dress and shoes and you've been preening in front of a camera for a few hours, you want to be told you look beautiful.
The rest of the article I agree with though, the rest of the time we ought to be looking at other attributes that make people who they are. I don't want to have to put on make up every day, hoping someone will notice. I want to wear the big smile I wear every day, engage with people in conversation and be recognised for those things. Or be recognised for doing something nice for someone.
So yes, I agree, lets change what we great people with. Lose "You look nice today" and replace it with:
