Inherent Perceptions

This morning I was sitting in my car, waiting for class to start, and I saw a very beautiful woman. I admired her for the way she carried herself, she had very soft looking features, and was just gorgeous. I began to think about how beautiful all women are, in general. God has created these beautiful beings that are very different from men; obviously. I then got to thinking about how I perceive beauty and how it affects me. Everyone knows that men are more visually stimulated than women are. So this question arose:

Do men and women see beauty differently?

Now by asking this question I don't mean by subjective terms. Differences in opinion of beauty are as many as there are people. What I mean to ask is that does the natural male receive a beautiful thing differently than a female? Is there actually something within a female that allows her to conceptualize a beautiful thing in a way a male never could?

Just something to think about.
