Feel free to move it if it's in the wrong forum.
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? |

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We were talking about this in Chinese class today and it's just so awesome >.>
My teacher's husband's sister married a crippled doctor. Even though he was handicapped and people looked at him differently, she loved him because of his personality and other things. When her parents disapproved of their engagement she said something about his appearance and his heart are two different things. Or something like that...yea but it was very touching. So, she thinks he's beautiful even though others don't. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. |
