I used to have a friend that did beauty pageants but I never saw the thrill in them.
Yeah the ranking and judging of physical attributes is a bit trivial. Although some contests have added personality, intelligence, and talent into their shows.
Do you know a lot about beauty pageants? 
I know quite a bit about beauty pageants. They are competitions for unmarried women but there are similar contests for children.
I never knew it was for unmarried woman. Is there a reason for that?
Well, mostly unmarried women. The majority of the women are unmarried. Organizers of each pageant set the rules. The rules can restrict anything from the contestant's age to their marital status.
Just still seems so shallow and trivial. What other interesting facts do you know?
There are actually even similar events for men and boys. They are just called by different names or are more likely to be bodybuilding contests.
I've watched bodybuilding shows with my ex. They are entertaining if nothing else.
I find the lineups where they perform poses and the individual posing routines kind of funny to be honest. But people who participate in them take it very seriously.
