Is beauty really subjective when you truly think about it?

Like if 90% of people find a person attractive but the other 10% does not for whatever reason, it would be safe to say that the truth is that they are good looking rather than believe they aren’t because more people believe that they are than it is people who don’t believe they are. For example, they’re people who don’t find Beyoncé attractive but majority do.

In the ultimate sense, yes. Sociologists can study past cultures of “sexy” like extending your neck, or earlobes to outrageous lengths.

But then kinda opposite chaos theory, you get down to it and it’s not subjective. “Sexy” follows a script of sorts.

No. It's largely objective. Society has beauty standards. If this were not so there would be no supermodels. And this gives the world a framework for beauty. I don't care how charming, smart, funny someone is, if they operate outside of these standards they are unattractive.

But to a lesser extent people can be subjectively attractive to SOMEONE based on how charming, smart, or funny they are.

I think it's important to understand that objective beauty just colors everything.

Yes it's subjective to a point. Because it's not based on facts, it's based on opinions. So it can change. Facts on the other hand can't.

Exactly I Also believe it’s subjective in terms of jealously or hate.

alright well its subjective in total. An opinion can never be objective even if everyone come to the same conclusion:)

With women for sure. Women are intimidated by any woman that’s deemed attractive by the majority of society. So, they’ll find any reason to point out why that person isn’t as attractive as the world believes. Like “Her wig is terrible.” “That outfit looks bad on her.” Lol in that case it’s totally subjective
