I was obsessed with Jodie Foster,
as a teen. But, I wanted to be her.

The years haven't been too kind to her
though.

Nah. She's a great actress. I just wish
she had kept her beauty. And met me.
And decided that straight wasn't so bad,
if 'twas with a properly feminine male.

Better yet, bi.

^^i know someone like that too but did you count how many are like this in your whole social network?? Or you people just pick the very rare exceptions of the rules to prove the validity of the beholder crap statement?

Wouldn't just one example be sufficient to prove that we're not all programmed to like the same things?

Also an assumption that there are two mutually exclusive minority and majority stances.

the replies of this thread : http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... dee710548f

proves that love can't be just 'in the eye of the beholder '

attraction leads to love and attraction are set of natural LAWS that apply on all of us .

That picture is pretty hot too, in fact anyone with a Deathawk. 8)

So what were you saying about attractiveness? Something like set laws, like such and such traits are always attractive?

^^ yes , then how you can explain when a whole bunch of guys(or girls) agree about the attractiveness of someone in specific ?

Like these bunch of girls i know at work , during the lunch break ( i was just eating and listening without participating in the convo ) one of them was talking about a specific co-worker guy and how much she finds him hot (and he's really apparently attractive in fact , he 's handsome , tall , muscly and charismatic ) and the 3 other girls agreed with her and they kinda melting when they were talking about him .

Same thing for guys , i remember that when bunch of guys at school and at univ talk about girls (usually girls of their own class) which is a very common conversation between guys when they are together and always seem to agree on the same girls as most hot girls of the class or of the school . I am sure that you saw such phenomenas before .

Never notice at bars or night clubs that the guys there usually float around the 10% of the girls there and leaving the other 90% girls?

Never notice that in real live shows like Big brothers , Star academy or Perfect Bride ( these shows are not my fav at all but my sisters watch them all the time ) usually the girls participants are drawn to 1 or 2 guys ? or better never notice that the girls of the audience usually applaud for 1 or 2 guys of this show and they are usually the most handsome ones ? (like in perfect bride for ex) ?

there's million of examples that show that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder ....or maybe this beholder represents the majority?
