I'm not really sure if the thread was intended to celebrate falling in love. I'm not sure how sexist it is discussing female beauty on a mostly male forum. So I'll just wade in with random thoughts.
Film, TV, magazines obviously use tools to create an illusion. I remember a TV interview years ago with 2 of the top makeup artists asking who has the most beautiful xxxxx before makeup goes on and the answer to almost every question was Kim Basinger.
The most attractive woman I have ever been close to was actually one of those costumed people on Las Vegas Blvd. She was dressed as a showgirl posing with tourists for photos. Must have been a side gig on top of modelling.
The best city I have been for people watching is Shanghai. Go in a warmer month where people wear less and the women will knock your socks off.

Look for what Plotinos said about Beauty.

I want to bring up something and ask for your opinions even though I knew the intent of the OP.
I have always thought that what a woman looks like is a description of 'pretty or prettiness'
What kind of person she is, is her 'beauty'.
I know a number of women who won't be gracing the cover of a magazine, but are beautiful to the bone.
I know extremely pretty women that I wouldn't dare introduce to my friends and family because they have an inner rot.
I wonder how many others look at 'pretty' and 'beauty' the same way.
Having said that, the combination I have makes me the happiest man in the world. Right honey? (she standing right behind me)

Hmm, time wasting on the company $, you can understand now why women are climbing the corporate ladder so rapidly.
