Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Post Reply New Topic

You people here just talk a lot...for the sake of talking.

No, we do it to annoy you.

For example, I find this one ugly
... although he is supposed to look nice, I guess

I find it funny how more men than women are saying beauty is objective. The men on here also tend to complain about being single more.

Someone gave an example saying large hooked noses are not aesthetically appealing but at one point Gisele Bündchen was the highest paid supermodel in the world. In fact their example was the epitome of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

Beauty 'standards' literally change every decade. Most of the best looking male actors in Hollywood are shorter than me but we're told they're beautiful so a lot of us question very little. Many of us have been fed ideas of ideal beauty based on a few advertisers and model scouts.

And I don't believe beauty only refers to the outward appearance. I've seen beautiful people get depressed and suddenly all their bubble and sparkle is gone

You seem to be one of the most frequent posters on here.

Maybe because we talk less poetry?



Maybe because they are much more likely to be involuntary singles, you know?



So maybe the beauty experts should refer to your own height first before giving a score, hmm?

It was a sarcastic figure, you know. No real human looks like this.

It is alright The_Face_of_Boo, if you are only attracted by standard commercial physical beauty.

Maybe one day, you will really fall in love and you will understand how standards are laughable.

I've also heard that "love is blind", but that seems to be only if the lover is "blind" to a person who acts ugly on the inside while being beautiful on the outside.

Then love is in the blind eye of the beholder All this does not fit well together

Some even say: love is in the air

@yellowtamarin I will agree that "objective" is not a correct word because the reasons you have stated but I don't agree in that it's just an opinion and that anyone has one... I will respond to it in another moment.

So what are you implying? That we are single because we have high standards? Or we are single because we only care about looks? Or what?

Bündchen doesn't have a hooked nose not even before her nose job. She has always had a flat nose. A big one but flat.

I think of people of media and entertainment of the 50's, 60's, 70', 80's and I imagine them today in stage and they will still be considered good looking. Most of the Hollywood male star actors are between 5'9 and 6'2 which it's the range of height which is considered more appealing to women. It's not their fault or the fault of men that you are too tall. Because if you consider that most stars are short... then normal everyday men are also short. Or do you live in the Dinaric Alps or in Groningen?

I don't know from where this idea that "what we consider beautiful" has been imposed by some people... I decide in less than one second if a girl is good looking. It's something primal. Automatic. What a coincidence that the majority of people believe and agree about which people posses those striking looks too and those people are overrepresented in advertisement, movies, TV, entertainment. What a coincidence!

I dunno what you are implying, but I do have a girlfriend.

If beauty was entirely subjective then we can’t say Prague is way more beautiful than Kabul.

Nifertiti lived in 1370 BC...


and would still be considered good looking today.

If she actually looked like that. Egyptians were known to doctor appearances.

It's funny how when a lot of women imply that short men are not attractive no woman accuses them that they're being influenced by the "Oh so evil commercial beauty standards" (male models are also very tall)- suddenly it becomes totally normal and natural not to find short men sexually attractive and even to imply they're at the bottom of the beauty spectrum- but when a male says the slightest thing about beauty you see hordes of women accusing him "oh you are influenced by the the evil commercial beauty standards". Ha.
