Well, anyway, what do you guys think? (This is meant to be a friendly debate, by the way)

Is beauty REALLY in the eyes of the beholder?

I mean, science talks of all these features considered attractive ona woman like waist-hip-ratios of 0.7, and men being tall, and everyone having smooth skin, but is that really all true?

Is that stuff required to be beautiful?

In my opinion, no. Beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder, and I think one can see someone as beautiful, even if they have all the features that are considered ugly. It just depends on the person.

People are constantly swooning over, oh, Ionno, Rihanna and the typical Brad Pitt, but honestly I don't find either one extremely attractive. Then I see an average, or maybe even below-average guy on the street and I'm like, 'Wow, he's cute! '

So, that's my opinion onit. Is there anyone who doesn't believe in the phrase?

Or others who do?

Of course. We all have our own preconceptions of what is beautiful; sometimes our culture and media influences our judgements, occasionally our own experiences. It's an opinion, really - and God knows he gave everyone plenty of those!

Agreed, but I am also of the minority, who say that beauty is on the inside as well as on the outside. I tend to not care what somebody looks like on the outside....to me a beautiful heart and personality, go a long way.
