Do you believe beauty is objective or subjective?

[Anonymous]

Objective means factual. Subjective means based on feelings, thoughts and taste.

I believe nobody is factually pretty. Just because someone may be pretty or attractive to the majority that doesn’t make it a fact because there is still probably people out there who don’t like their face. There is 8 billion people in the world.

Both, there are certain things that are objectively beautiful and objectively ugly. Indicators of bad health are objectively ugly. Indicators of high quality genes (Such as proper symmetry) are objectively pretty.

But then you also have the subjective part where not every feature is seen as pretty by the same people. Once you hit a certain level of pretty, you will get people who find you incredible for it, and people who don't find you that special at all.

I remember for example that i posted a picture of a girl who I'd consider a 10 before, and I got a bunch of replies along the lines of "Really? She's just a 7" which confirmed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder in the end. But if I post a picture of someone ugly and ask if people think she is pretty you will get a near unanimous no which indicates that its not just subjective either.

It is factually subjective. It's not a matter of belief one way or the other. That's like asking do you believe 2 2=4

Obviously it’s perceived subjectively, but beauty can be measured objectively, the more symmetrical your face, the more beautiful you will be perceived by the average member of the opposite sex. However that does not mean that everyone will find you beautiful! So while beauty can be measured mathematically, it is still perceived subjectivity by each individual, some of whom will not find you beautiful.

I'm with you on this one. Beauty really does seem to be in the eye of the beholder, doesn't it? It's such a wonderfully complex blend of personal tastes, cultural influences, and even the emotions or memories we associate with certain features or traits. While some standards of beauty have historically been widely accepted within certain societies or periods, the global perspective is incredibly diverse. With the world being as interconnected as it is today, we're seeing more and more appreciation for different types of beauty. This diversity in what we find attractive only goes to show that beauty can't truly be pinned down as a fact but is something more fluid and subjective. It's about how something or someone makes us feel, and that's as varied as the 8 billion people walking this planet. What kind of beauty speaks to you the most?

it's subjective however many subjective opinions converge on certain looks, making it possible to make statements about what is generally found pretty and what is generally found ugly.

Beauty is always based on opinion and thus can not be factual

The golden ratio says objective since we're all programmed for it.

[LiamJHayden]

Subjective. Even if 99.99% prefer something it is still subjective.

mainly objective, but some degree is subjective

[avery58]

I was about to answer something similar but the other way around. For me it's mainly subjective but objective to some degree

[dreamstar72]

Everyone has a different taste in beauty

[Alex-Snow]
