sweet disposition. Banned Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 48272 | To some, it may be blonde hair and blue eyes. To others, it may be a good body. And so on, and so forth. |
Eclipse Killjoy Age: 53 Gender: Female Posts: 96 | lovecan'tsaveyou: That is TRUE. There was a scientific study done on beauty, and it was determined that a beautiful face was defined as one that was completely symmetrical. They also said that, throughout almost all cultures, blonde hair was considered the standard of beauty....something about how humans respond to light, and how the blonde hair actually reflects the light around the face, or something like that. More of a glow, I guess. So, then, I guess Barbie Dolls would be considered the standard by which female beauty is judged?! I'm not sure about this study, because I, for one, have always found black hair so much more attractive than blonde hair...which is odd, because I am VERY blonde. |
Eclipse Killjoy Age: 53 Gender: Female Posts: 96 | Mr. Brightside.: I think that inner beauty is MUCH more important than external beauty. Physical beauty fades, but a beautiful spirit is timeless. I also think that beauty isn't necessarily cosmetic, because you have those rare people who are beautiful even WITHOUT make-up. I rarely wear make-up myself, but that's only because make-up is so bad for the skin....and I rarely spend more than 15 minutes getting ready (10 min. if I'm not wearing make-up). I'm pretty low-maintenance, and if that makes me ugly, oh well. |
Eclipse Killjoy Age: 53 Gender: Female Posts: 96 | EATEN ALIVE: .....or even WITHOUT make-up, dude. I think it's SO refreshing when a person can go out and not even worry about his/her looks, even to the point of not wearing make-up. IMO, that is REALLY cool, and shows a lot of confidence. I'm not saying to be slovenly, or look completely tore-up...but there are some people who can just go out in jeans and a t-shirt, hair in a pony tail, no make-up, and be perfectly comfortable, and that is great. |
Eclipse Killjoy Age: 53 Gender: Female Posts: 96 | I honestly don't think it's fair to judge ANYONE on their outer appearance, but if a person has bad hygeine, or is slovenly, then that just says something about their inner condition, because such people don't usually care much about themselves. |
Eclipse Killjoy Age: 53 Gender: Female Posts: 96 | xXtRaGIc_AffAiRXx: .....which just goes to show that, when it comes to being judged by looks, it's not just one's God-given features that are being judged...It's also the way a person makes him/herself to look. IMO, this is JUST AS BAD as judging someone for their genetic traits. |

bright lights x x Really Not Okay Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 715 | my opinion is if your a nice person who treats others with respect then that makes you pretty. And really you dont have to impress anyone...God already thinks our beautiful but then again not everyone follows my religion. It makes me sick to go to school and see all the "popular" girls get attention when really they're the meanest low life people you will ever meet. |
DIE! DIE! DIE! Bleeding on the Floor Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 1067 | I think sex appeal and physical beauty are very different, as are inner and outer beauty. I hate it when people say "if your a good person, your beautiful". It's just not true. If you have an unattractive face but your kind, then your kind, but that doesn't make you any more attractive on the outside, it just makes people not care as much. Then there is sex appeal, which everyone can have, it's all a matter of how you carry yourself. That's the best IMO. I have dated some pretty unattractive guys because they were full of it. |
no face. Awake and Unafraid Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 13483 | I think what makes someone beautiful is if their balanced, their facial features are balanced and as are their mind |
bright lights x x Really Not Okay Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 715 | I will admit that i have thought a certain person was very unatractive, but then i got to really know the person and later on i thought that they were actually very pretty. It was weird... but thats where i get my opinion from |
Ignore Alien Orders Salute You in Your Grave Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 2026 | ^I forget where I read this, but apparently once you get to know someone it's easier to ignore his/her faults, physical and mental, which can lead to you finding him/her physically attractive when you wouldn't have before. |
The Taste for Blood Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 3068 | No matter how you look it’s the inside that counts if you have a beautiful soul then to me you are beautiful. A guy could be hottest thing on this planet and he could be the biggest dick head that ever lived. I’m not saying that al people should go hippie and boy-cot make up nice clothes and bathing but that whatever you think is kewl is kewl to you and other people should respect that.

Save The Bunnies!! Jazz Hands Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 343 | To me beauty is nothing.Beauty is a curse on the world.Everybody thinks that if nobodys beautiful then they arent anything.I just think beauty isnt everything.But many people are shallow in the world.I dont judge by looks because weither youre beautiful or not youre a person.Which means you should be treated with respect. |
black_parader_ Killjoy Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 3 | hadouken !:i dont think beauty counts. i mean if you like someone its not just on how pretty they are... its about whether you get on with them and like their personality. |
Gracie9746 Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 57 | Alot of things in society are based on beauty. I think that no matter how many times people tell you 'it's only the person on the inside that matters' we will always care about how we look, even if we don't care about how others look. |
DeadInTheWater Fabulous Killjoy Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 128 | beauty means something different to everysingle person, someone may seem beautiful to one person, yet ugly to another, its just personally what you feel |
Faye Merci Salute You in Your Grave Age: - Gender: - Posts: 4473 | I don't think there's a definite beauty, but I think there are certain things that are liked. Clear complexion, happy expression, well-groomed appearance and symmetry in a face are usually things considered good looking. However, inner beauty is important. While good looks can get you far, a good personality and attitude gets you further. Self-confidence is attractive too, especially to other sexes. So my answer to this question is both. |
Jesse Lacey; Awake and Unafraid Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 12077 | Some people feel better if they think they look better. It is sad that this is true, and it is sad the way society contributes both beauty and such feelings, but what can we do now? Whatever makes you happy. |
