beautiful or pretty


i often wonder as i walk the streets of montpellier or any other place in france. where does the french paradox have its origin. it surely seems to have proved itself. all the woman are beautiful. well tended. it seems so effortless. where you travel to other countries and city you see pretty people too but it is not the same. the french women seem to be the clothes and fashion where others are simply wearing the clothes. they look comfortable and relaxed. not pretending. just being. i guess there is a hint of subjectivity involved in my opinion. but that is for me the difference between beauty and pretty. some just have it. others have to wear it to try to be it.
