But how much partly , huh? I estimate it as 80% partly .

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. The more you drink the prettier she becomes. Beer helping ugly people get laid since 1852.

No seriously the whole symetrical face does seem to be a factor for most. I used to have a symetrical chiseled face untill a bomb, and a few other injuries after the stitches changed that. As well as breaking my nose a couple of times. Now I don't seem to be noticed as much. Of course I've been told when women notice me. I never know on my own.

And how much of that estimation is based on first hand knowledge? I'd say none, you're no Scientist, you're not the one doing the studying, your "estimation" is worthless. You might as well have said 60%, or 90%, or 50%. Either way you're contradicting your previous position that it isn't in the eye of the beholder, in other words your argument used to be that it is all genetics and it is not different from one person to the next, now you've changed your position, but you still seem to disagree with me even though I never said it couldn't be partly about genetics, in fact my position has been that it's partly genetics all along, you just seem to be unable to accept that.

It's ok if you love someone who's less attractive than the norm because of the other good traits she possesses . For example , you might love an ugly or fat girl for her smartness but deep inside you know that she's ugly and much less attractive than slim and pretty girls .


What if you're physically attracted to chubby/fat girls? I find bigger girls more attractive than slim girls, up to a certain size, and I don't see them as unattractive "deep down" myself. And also in Japan, imperfection is culturally seen as beauty. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder.

Already been argued, LePetite just ignored it.

There are only two sites I've ever considered to be beautiful. One is my boyfriend in a purple dress-type outfit. The other is my boyfriend in his nightgowns.

So yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
