This week on AskMen.com, the men’s lifestyle site I’m Australian editor for, it was time once again to quite literally put women in the “hot” seat, as we released our 2010 Top 99 Most Desirable Women List.
This year there were five Aussie beauties who made the cut - including model Miranda Kerr, soaring from last year’s position at number 46 to number 10.
Of course desire is a subjective thing and that’s part of its beauty - number 99 to some is number one to thousands of others. As one Australian gossip columnist noted: “Miranda Kerr may be one of the world’s most stunning supermodels, but she’s not as hot as singer Beyonce, or actresses Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz, according to six million men.”
Of course such a list is going to generate debate and it’s not really about comparing rankings or about who wins the perceived gene-pool lottery.
It’s about who is the most desirable woman as a girlfriend or potential partner so the women in it often change from year to year as men’s tastes and trends change.

What Makes A Woman Beautiful?
What Makes A Woman Beautiful?Sep 21 2008"Your adornment must not be merely external - braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God." - 1 Peter 3:3-4Have you ever wondered why Anna Kournikova was at one time the most popular womens tennis player, even though she had never won a tournament? Actually that answer is not very tough to figure out. From a worldly perspective, the glory of a woman is primarily in her beauty. I realize this makes many successful women resentful and feminists gag, but look at the women who get all the press! Women, if this superficial evaluation of women within our world frustrates you, you might want to consider Christianity and what Gods word says about beauty in a woman. Because in Christ, a woman can have a growing inner beauty that becomes more and more radiant with every passing year.
Think about a Hollywood starlet and an elderly woman. A few decades ago, the starlet may have been an absolute sex bomb. But now that she is in her 80s, all you might see are just age spots and wrinkles. Not a pretty sight! But think about a godly woman that has really grown in Christ. Its called inner beauty, and thats the beauty that only gets greater with age. Yes, the wrinkles and age spots are there, but the spirit--the sparkle in her eyes--her countenance--grows more beautiful over time.

What makes A Beautiful Woman?
A beautiful girl is every mans dream. Shes gorgeous, presentable, and exciting to have around. She adds flavor to any occasion. But what makes a beautiful woman? What makes a beautiful girl? Is it her charm, her smile, her physique, her intelligence, her elegance, or her character? There are in fact two types of beauty. There is physical beauty and there is is emotional beauty.A beautiful lady is either beautiful in terms of physical attraction or in terms of her inner qualities. However, the first kind of beauty that strikes anyone is a womans physical beauty . . . her looks, her physical attraction.Heads turn in amazement when she walks by. Men stare. Even women turn to look.Some women are born beautiful. These are natural beauties. Some others attempt to attain beauty by use of cosmetics. These are man-made beauties.Whatever the case, if youre a beautiful woman, youre beautiful. It doesnt matter if you got it from birth or through artificial toning.Emotional beauty, on the other hand, has to do with the qualities of a woman. A girl who is emotionally beautiful is . . . Loving and caringHumbleChasteHardworkingCalm and collectedEmpathetic and forgivingMild-tempered and has self-controlKind and full of goodnessContent with what she hasCommitted and trustworthyA woman with emotional beauty radiates goodness, happiness, contentment, joy, and a quiet and mild spirit.She is simply adorable!She may not be beautiful outwardly. In fact, she may be outright ugly in appearance. But is a pleasure to have around.Being a beautiful girl in terms of physical attraction does not guarantee that you will have a successful love relationship. In fact many beautiful girls are so arrogant and naughty that they mess up any love relationship to get into.So, if youre a beautiful girl outwardly, give serious thought to improving your personality.If youre ugly in appearance, also work on your inner qualities because in the end, that is what counts.Should you use cosmetics to enhance your beauty? If youre comfortable with it, go ahead. But be moderate in your use of artificial beauty procedures.What count most in any love relationship is your ability to work with your mate happily to please each other. And that has to do with the person you are inside not your outward beauty.If youre a man searching for the right partner, look beyond the fact that she is a beautiful girl. Search her heart.If she has a good heart . . . if she is a beautiful woman at heart . . . she will make a good wife. And your love relationship will last for ever.
