A beautiful woman produces this stunning effect because she is the literal embodiment of the human ideal. When you see a truly beautiful woman in person, you briefly experience a hint of humanity's greatest potential. You essentially receive a concentrated drug hit of life itself. A beautiful woman is life, not in the sense that she is the meaning of life, but that she is the physical embodiment of life, the most utterly pure and concrete form of the abstract notion of what it means to be alive. It's an almost mystical experience in that it feels otherworldly. Beautiful women, when seen in contrast with the unremarkable appearance of the average woman, seem almost to be heavenly creatures. A beautiful woman can be, literally, intoxicating.
Beautiful women are even more captivating because we instinctively understand (even if we do not believe) how fleeting their beauty will be. Women will usually peak in their beauty somewhere between the age of 16-21 depending on the individual, and will maintain that peak for 2-3 years at best. After that the slow decline begins until the wall hits, then it's all over. It's like a slow drip of paint that covers the Mona Lisa, then finally an entire bucket splattered on top. Because we have foreknowledge of her inevitable and impending decay, experiencing a beautiful woman in her prime is thus almost like cheating death, and is nearly as exhilarating.
I should add that what I'm talking about cannot be achieved by looking at a photoshopped picture of any random hot girl, or watching a porno. When I talk about experiencing a beautiful woman, it has to be in person, and it has to be with a young woman whose personality matches her appearance. She must still possess a certain naivety of the world. She must be carefree in a way that is impossible for a man to understand. She must feel as if her beauty will never fade. Only then, in that brief window, does she shine beyond all else. Only then does she truly express something that cannot be experienced in any other way. The combination of flawless beauty and youthful insouciance: a taste of immortality, if only for a moment.
