I did an article on this topic. The beauty of the female is defined by her genetic suitability to reproduction and her infant feeding potential. The physical attributes men find desirable in females are a line item blueprint of their genetic code.
I hope you didn’t write the article for a university class, because it wouldn’t have fared well at all.
Given the wide variation of what is deemed female beauty in different cultures, I am not sure that theory is sustainable. For that matter, the current Western value of very skinny women runs counter to optimal fertility, and historically plumper women were favored in the West as “good birthers.”
Large firm well-formed pointed-up breasts indicate genetically superior infant feeding potential
Eh… I don’t think there is any evidence that size of breast correlates with superior ability to breast feed. In fact, I am pretty sure I have seen a study which contradicts that claim.
This isn’t a study, but a statement by a lactation consultant:
Breast size doesn’t matter. Larger breasts are made up of a larger proportion of fatty tissue. This of course has no effect on your milk production. It is very rare for a woman to be born with insufficient glandular tissue to be able to breastfeed her baby. (Actually, women with small breasts may find positioning easier than a larger breasted woman.)

Long thick hair and hard strong nails belie female fertility.
Huh? Why would hair and nails have anything to do with fertility? I have to say, its a very unusual statement.
Clear skin indicates freedom from mental illness.
Ah… yeah, right. I am not aware of any reason to think that the absence of skin blemishes correlates with mental health.
A virgin body belies an intact hymen.
The traditional definition of virginity pretty much requires an intact hymen. However, that doesn’t stop teens from engaging in oral sex or anal sex in order to preserve their “virginity.”
Caucasian skin indicates racial purity.
The Nazi aspect of that statement has been dealt with.
After the female has been mated, the male will not naturally mate her again until she becomes fertile once more.
I don’t think that is true. Questions regarding how long sex can be continued during pregnancy are pretty common.
According to nature, which can be observed in literally miles of film footage, the mammalian female is not mated when conception does not occur.
I have no idea what you mean by that statement.
It is reasonable to conclude that natural human mating occurs only when conception occurs, and all else is godless abomination.
I’m not sure that is a reasonable conclusion since you have offered no evidence in support of that claim.
If the virgin is mated according to observable, natural mammalian mating, she will conceive after a single mating act, and she will know only her share in the Pain of Atonement of God The Son. The human male naturally experiences his share in the Pleasure of Creation of God The Father.
If a woman mates according to observable, natural mammalian mating, she may have sex with multiple partners in order to obscure who the father is.
Mammalian mating systems vary greatly (Clutton-Brock, 1989Go), from monogamy (males are socially bonded to a single female; Ribble, 1991Go) to polygyny (males mate with multiple females; Clutton-Brock et al., 1983Go) to promiscuity (both males and females mate with multiple partners; Boonstra et al., 1993Go). Despite this variation, most mammals are polygynous
Determining mating patterns and variance in reproductive success in mammals is complicated by the general lack of paternal care, making it difficult to quantify male mating success unless copulations are directly observed (Koprowski, 1993Go; Schwagmeyer et al., 1998Go). An additional complication occurs when females mate with multiple males, leading to multiple paternity of the young.

Female beauty is defined as that which compels the male to mate with her. Men are attracted to this, and women admire female beauty because it is to a woman’s glory.
I disagree. Cultural standards of beauty are learned during childhood - a time when sexual desires are absent. I can think a woman is beautiful, and yet have absolutely no interest in mating with her.
We don’t need credentials to confirm any of this. It’s common sense.
No, it isn’t common sense. Its coffeehouse speculation. Outside the the coffeehouse, out in the real world, its pretty easy to see the gaps in the reasoning, and outright misstatements.
Seriously, I hope you don’t try to present your article you to be graded by a professor. You won’t like what you get back.
