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?

Technically it is one's opinion of what they judge is beautiful and what is ugly. So yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

However, our society today, have evolved so much that what we portray as ugly and pretty is from social norms. We're influenced by the media, and other people's opinion, and we all can distinguished what exactly is ugly and what isn't. We'll stereotype what is ugly and what is pretty, not because of our own beliefs, but because the media says so. Shows like Ugly Betty, and many more, have set what exactly is ugly. Magazines portray beauty as being skinny, tall, nice hair, big breasts, etc. Our generation, we take that in, and we base our opinions on that.

However, of course that isn't the case with a few of us, who actually have a known discrepancy, and have our own values of what beauty really is.
