Do you believe in the statement “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”?

Yes because I’ve seen it in person. I’ve witnessed it happen at workplaces, in school and right in front of my eyes.

It isn’t always about general physical beauty.
When someone gets to know someone, their spirits align and they end up catching feelings for each-other. Its never happened to me, but I wish. True love is blind

[DaveJord]

Yup, absolutely. I have date some pretty hot women... but their personalities made them very unattractive.

But I have also date a lot of average looking women, and I the way they treat me and make me feel... makes them so much more beautiful to me. Everyone wants to find that special person that only speaks to their inner person and connects with them on the same emotional level.

I guess I have never really found that super hot chick that really connects with my inner person... but what I have right now is too amazingly gorgeous to me to even care, because she's super hot to me.

⚫It is true because for instance what you call poison it is some other Man's food.
So even beauty is the eyes of the beholder. Because to some it can be in the face so once the face is not there ideal type, then that is no deal. and for others it that special light in the heart of the person.
Since that so called beauty of the face reaches a time when it fades out but a sweet heart never fades out, it is like plant of strawberries growing up in the middle of a desert on a rock.

[Daniela1982]

Sometimes that beholder is whacked too.

[MCheetah]

Yes, for the most part, but I also believe it's used too often as an excuse. There is no objective beauty, especially since a lot of guys (white conservative guys) like I find to be super-unattractive. Like skinny, petite, flat-chested pale women. Likewise, the women I like they probably deem to be unattractive as well (tall, busty, plus-sized or thick ladies).

[SkipPerk]

This is completely true. The girls that I think are the most beautiful are different than most men. If I man clearly is in love with you, cannot stop looking at you, then you are the most beautiful woman in the world to him. Women never seem to understand this

[ohshee]

For me it's 100% the truth I could be talking with a friend in the girl who walked by and they say that girls ugly and I'll look at him and I'll say you didn't look at it or did you because when I look at somebody I look into their eyes I want to know who they are on the inside first because that's who they truly are I want to know how beautiful their heart is if they can smile if they're happy if they're smart if they're confident to me that's all beautiful the outside is just an extra bonus

[Miristheiss]

Yes and no.
Yes because each person finds beautiful what they find beautiful.
No, because if 99 out of 100 find someone hideous to look at and ONE person finds them beautiful... that doesn't make them beautiful per se... just to that one person.
If you look ugly... you look ugly even if a few people are into that.

[NamerOfStars]

Experience has taught me that if anything, it's magical rays that are in the eyes of the beholder: charm, fear, telekinesis, petrification and disintegration; it's got them all. No beauty, though; that's more the purview of the nymph.

[Cherry234]

Yes, definitely. It's subjective. You may not find one person attractive but someone else will find that person attractive. It's just an example.

[MelissaMarie9614]

Yeah I do. My grandfather used to say that all the time, now my mom says it to me. Do I believe that statement? Yes. Do I still get insecure every now and then about myself? Also yes.

[SphynxUK]

Yes of course. We all find different things appealing.

[slatyb]

That's pretty much true. There are women I find attractive that most men would not, and women that are considered beautiful by many that I don't find attractive.

[HoraceB]

Absolutely! All the time I hear people gush over someone that I have NO attraction to at all. I couldn't understand how they could possibly find that person attractive.

[Precipice]

I believe the truth is somewhere in between the eye of the beholder and beauty in symmetry. That's just my take though.

[pleasestopthis]

Yes, very much. Beauty is subjective and we all have different preferences

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yes, but I do think that a lot of people will be attracted to the individuals or features, just not everyone.

[melanieeeB]

Hell yeah, it's a fact

[Anonymous]

I don’t know, I’m conflicted with it. On one hand, I feel really ugly and have a hard time believing anyone would find me attractive. But on the other hand, I find a lot of unconventional looking men attractive. So I’m not sure.

[exitseven]

Yes, if you really love somebody they can look really beautiful to you even if they are considered just average looking.

[BeMuse]

Yes, beauty is subjective. People have different tastes.

[Phoenix-gb]

Yes, to an extent, pretty sure no-one has ever thought like that about me.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah very much so.

i would put money on what I like not being liked by some lol

[Lynx122]

Ehm I don't know. I just know what I find beautiful, idc that much what other people find beautiful.

[Heartache0405]

What if the beholder is blind? You haven't something against blind people? 😂😂😂

[Waldoe]

yes... everyone has a different "personal preference" of beauty... I Love small tits.. some guys like "Huge" sacks of hanging fat... to each his own

[OddBeMe]

Yes beauty is a subjective opinion. Society has a majority opinion on “beauty” but again I’d say it’s all eye of the beholder.

[Babygirl_S]

Yes truly. The features liked by one person are not universally liked. No one is considered beautiful by all.

[Anonymous]

Yes it is. Everyone likes different things. I like brunettes with a medium skin tone. My best friend likes blondes that have a light/pale skin tone.

[Martha1996]

Yes you see it some of couples how they got their partner.

[DWornock]

No, because their are universal standards for beauty for all cultures and societies. They are, high bilateral symmetry, small waist to hip ratio (hour-glass figure), smooth clear skin, and a youthful appearance.

[Honestguyopen]

I do believe it, because outer beauty is by opinion, unique to each person. It is even more unique once you start to see beneath the surface

[jshm2]

No. Even blind people get dates, and ugly people get tattoo's thinking it makes them beautiful. When in fact a cracked mirror can never be whole.

[TallAnon]

To a certain extent, but there are definitely common traits that we like/dislike in general.

[Paul09]

Yes of course. We all have similar to different tastes.

[crmoore]

Very much so. I nearly know it to be true, near-certainty. My appeal varies greatly from others.

[najekim]

Yup. Just like porn, obscenity, and a few other things. :)

[InferiorElegy]

I don't, been ugly and called ugly by everyone my entire life, so I must be ugly.

[davidst123]

don't care what other people say about your looks. think of yourself as a handsome man, you will feel that way. how other see you, is not important. how you see yourself means everything

[InferiorElegy]

@davidst123 Seeing as I look like Sloth from the Goonies, calling myself anything but a ugly seems wrong, I've tried calling myself handsome before but the I see my reflection or see the disgusted looks on people's faces.

[davidst123]

Need to be happy with your looks. when you get there, you will ignore those disgusting looks from people. Be happy with yourself, be confident with your body.

[bolverk]

It would be the only reason that so many women think that being tattooed from neck to foot is a good look.

[TsAubreyKate]

The casting director of Brooklyn nine nine thinks so

[Pbt56]

Yes I always have and also its the person on the inside that counts not what they look like. if two people make eachother happy and anyone has a problem with that. then they better deal with because it ain't my problem.

[HeartBreaker007]

Not really because there are beauty standards that exist.

[loveslongnails]

Are you referring to "The Evolutionary Advantage Theory which proposed that symmetrical faces are perceived as more attractive because the symmetry indicates good health in an individual? Or the Perceptual Bias theory, which suggests that the human visual system may be “hard wired” in a way that makes it much easier to process symmetrical stimuli than asymmetrical stimuli? According to these theories, people prefer symmetry in all things and objects, including faces, and that would be a constant.

Or do you mean trendy beauty standards that often change with certain era's? Please elaborate when you say "beauty standards that exist". Thanks :)

[Still-alive]

[dustybiker]

What a cutie.

[nawtee_me]

So that is the beholder that beauty is in the eyes of... got plenty of eyes... lol

[clampfan101]

Yes. We all have our own opinions on what’s beautiful.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely, people have their own preferences when it comes to attractiveness. One person might say someone is beautiful while another completely disagrees.

[MountAverage]

It very obviously is. Otherwise everyone would have the exact same preferences.

[Chthou95]

Nope i don't. Its an overrated statement made to make people feel better about themselves. Or just being politically correct. It's more objective

[UdontNeedtoknow]

yes. some of the ugliest people are pretty on the outside.

[bowenw]

Yes. Beauty is also in the eye of the beer holder.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

What happens is the beholder is blind?

[Anonymous]

No. This is something unpleasant looking people say to make themselves feel better.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I believe strongly in that statement

[Subarugirl]

Absolutely, perception of beauty is subjective

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely.

[dustybiker]

Yes.

[Wise4myage]

I do believe in that.

[ElvenMr]

I find that to be true, yes.

[KatherineJ]

Yes I do.

[Sasha_Gee]

Yes I do!

[xJayleenx]

Yes I definitely do

[Starla1234]

Yeah I guess

[weysally]

yes very much so,

[AncientWisdom]

Yep it’s a fact.

[AncientWisdom]

Something about me is I tend to like females no one else does. That’s how I know

[Hotboy_booblover]

Yes... its hormones at work
