Why do individuals say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but then majority of society agrees on what is beautiful? (Page 2)

[Evan64]

Because humans are massive fucking hypocrites by nature.

[Gorge95]

Many of them indeed.

[AllThatSweetJazz]

Because both are true. Those statements are in no way incompatible.

[DiegoO]

Beauty standard depends of many factors:
*Historical, social, cultural.

[genericname85]

well beauty "IS" in the eye of the beholder but beholders aren't "THAT" different on average.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The fact that societal beauty standard have changed through the centuries is a proof of beauty being subjective.

[Pohjolan]

These are not mutually exclusive statements.
Beauty is subjective but we can also define statistically true beauty.

[bamesjond0069]

Its something you say to uglies to not hurt their feelings. Unfortunately it has gone too far with freaking obese models and lizzo whoever tf that is.

I don’t find the girl in the picture you posted very pretty. The woman in the picture I posted below is very pretty in my opinion

[Asker]

But you do find her pretty? Don’t lie.

[Opinion Owner]

Well I have no idea who the blonde woman in the picture is but I don’t really like the picture you posted. Maybe she has better pictures. I rather see a person face to face to judge their looks. One time I meet this guy on a dating website and he looked way less attractive in person compared to the pictures on his profile

Don't some cars look beautiful and some cars look crappy? It's called "natural selection". No one picks a piece of rotten fruit off a tree, only a nice looking ripe one.

[Iron_Man]

I agree people know if you’re beautiful and not most people

[Iron_Man]

Or not

[Anonymous]

because either society or those who say beauty is relative are hypocrites.

[msc545]

Beauty can be publicly or privately held, and those things do not have to be congruent.

[innerman]

We all dnt like the same things... i may give her a 5 and another person gives her a hard 10

[Priv9696]

White women will always be favoured. Very sad society we live in

[anylolone]

Sure? Last time I checked, currently Asian women, specially dark Asian women, rank top.
And that changes all the time. Can be latinas. Has been black.

Same with guys. Now the craze is really pale Korean guys.

[cookiecrusher]

We can agree on above 7
Before that, it gets a bit messy 😗

[LegendaryIcon]

so that those companies who make all that stuff, profit

[driven159]

because real beauty is deep inside a picture does not show that

[In_Trance]

I don't think the vast majority agrees on this or anything else

[mikalynn]

coz there is always somewhat pardigma about what is beautiful i guess

[Anonymous]

Because it's not. Is anyone gonna find Jason vorhees physically attractive even though looks are subjective? No of course not

[Blonde401]

Oh man. You’d be surprised. There’s lots of horror movie fan girls who will simp for even Jason

[Opinion Owner]

@Blonde401 Okay

[Anonymous]

You either look good or don't. There is no eye of the beholder. Jennifer lopez can have any man on earth.

[InYourHead]

Because beauty is objective and complicated.

[Asker]

Is that you in your pfp? What does it feel like to fulfill global beauty standards?

[Daniela1982]

You can't change "LAME".

[Jouth]

because they have other eyes

different eye

[Anonymous]

People change their opinion as per their convience

[Anonymous]

beauty is in the facial structure

[Wise4myage]

Becaause its true?

[SecretGardenBlood65]
