Am I the only one that thinks beauty is not that subjective?

Whenever i hear people say this, its only for small minor differences. Meaning you can't put a 3 next to an 8 and think it's really going to be subjective. But if you put an 8 next to another 8, then it becomes subjective. But most of the time and this is just the cold hard truth but ugly will always be seen as ugly 99.9% of the time. And it has nothing to do with personality or character qualities. People like good looking people and there's nothing wrong with that. Its human nature. But beauty is not that subjective. It's subjective for small differences

IN Myanmar, this is considered attractive by some people

Yes, beauty is subjective.

[Asker]

That's an object around the neck. Not part of the body or face. Put that on an 2 or 3 and it will be a different story

[OlderAndWiser]

Okay. I give up.

[Anonymous]

It's subjective, because beauty standards change from place to place and time to time

An 8 in 1 country, could be a 5 in another country

[Asker]

You put a fat slob next to a ripped guy with a strong jawline, people ain't gonna find the slob attractive. Looks are subjective but fot very small differences

[Opinion Owner]

Depends on which country of the world you go to... In some African countries being overweight is still considered attractive

[Asker]

We need to go based on general rules. Not exceptions. Human beings like good looking people. Its hardwired in our Dna

[Opinion Owner]

What's good-looking is subjective. There are 7 billion people on the planet and each culture has its own standards.
As for having a strong jawline, I personally don't find men with very strong features like Brad Pitt, or Henry Cavill attractive. I prefer guys with soft features like Kpop singers

[Asker]

Exceptions dont disprove the rule. You don't like that but most women do. I base my life on generalities, not exceptions.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol how do you know?
In East Asian countries they wouldn't be considered attractive probably

[Opinion Owner]

This question is so dumb. You sound like an incel

[Asker]

Because there's a general rule for everything in life? And there's a general for what women find attractive. And oh you forgot the other typical responses
"You dont get laid"
"You just hate women"
"Basement dweller"
"Go date men then"
"Quit whining"

What other one did i leave out that's usually said by people like you?

[Opinion Owner]

There's no rule. People like different stuff, based on their background and culture. What's attractive in one part of the world, may not be as attractive in another part of the world. I fail to see how beauty is objective

[Opinion Owner]

I don't believe in lookism, it's a stupid trend

[Asker]

there's always a rule. I get it we want to seem unique and feel like were different. But again there's always general view of attraction. If looks subjective i should be a slob myself and get really fat with a double chin since there's women that will be attracted to me or should i continue working out being in shape getting a good physique which would increase my chances at finding a woman that's attracted?

[SaoirseS]

So what objective criteria do you use to measure beauty if it’s not subjective?

[Asker]

I use Generalities not exceptions

[Guy13]

I don’t know but your beauty of definition might be the problem. Need an absolute definition ⁉️

[Still-alive]

nope its subjective. completely constructed by the predominant society of the age.

[Asker]

So if i put an fat overweight slob next to a guy thats in shape and has good facial features, whos going to be more attractive

[Still-alive]

go back a few hundred years and yes those bulky women would be considered beautiful back then.

as i said its dependent on the predominant culture of the age.

[SoftCliff]

@Still-alive Great answer 👍
In the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance period, being overweight was considered attractive, as it was sign as a sign of wealth... Actually it's still considered attractive in some African countries, where people are starving

There are some features which are commonly thought of as attractive like high cheek bones, symmetrical faces, clear skin and not being overweight etc
