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? |

Our perception of beauty comes from Classical Conditioning of the mind much of which is modeled by mass media. This would prove why we think there are such standards for what beauty is. Since there is no measurement standard of beauty, it cannot be objective and it is plainly up to the person's opinion.

The objective standard is beauty being an aesthetically-pleasing sensation. The application of that effect is what's subjective, not the concept of beauty itself.
