Do you believe people say “beauty is subjective” just to make people feel better?

yes they do and it's literal virtue signaling cope

though there are good and bad reasons why people lie about this

good reason being to prevent suicide and "reduce" bullying

bad reason being it stunts self-improvement and increases more bullying

that being said, lying is bad for society and both men and women lie

ugly people get told they are turned down for their "bad" personality when in reality they are constantly lied to, gaslighted, get fed up with being lied to, push back against the lies and then their haters use this to "justify" that ugly people have "bad" personalities

basically creating a monster out of necessity to justify their lying

No, it's because it is - to a point, especially with people. There have been several studies done about facial and body symmetry and what is found to be attractive, generally speaking, amongst various races. Here's a sample, but a simple search will produce pages of them: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1679900/

Then there's physical beauty and inner beauty, and they don't always come in the same package. People also have different preferences in physical attractions, and we often don't even know why, we just "do". That's when it's totally subjective. I'll give you a celebrity example. Lots of my men friends think Bella Hadid is hot, so does a lot of the world, but I think she's yuk! You'd have to PAY me lots of cash to go on a date with her! LOL So rest assured, beauty truly is a subjective thing beyond the attractions of symmetry.

The truth does hurt some people. It is blatant insecurity.

I think "beauty is subjective" is genuinely believed by many people because it's true—everyone has their own tastes and preferences. What one person finds beautiful, another might not. It's not just to make people feel better, but rather a reflection of the diverse ways we perceive and appreciate beauty. For me, it's a comforting thought to know that beauty isn't confined to a single standard, and that each person's individual qualities can be cherished by someone. What do you think?

Nope. The truth is beauty is subjective. However there are physical features and traits that the majority of people like and prefer. That's why there are models. Some people are more attractive to the majority of people.

Some. But mostly I think some people just want to believe it. I've actually had women get mad at me on this site for saying that beauty is largely objective. I never said guys can't find a woman subjectively beautiful that is not objectively beautiful. I think most women just have too fragile of ego's and have a need to be desired by most guys. Is it any winder si few women can love a man today when so few can even love themselves.

Its both, its objective to a certain point lets say around a 6. After that its very much personal preference.

[RavVid]

Yes. Beauty isn't really that subjective. The more symmetrical a face is the more that people will agree it is beautiful.

[ChinaGrove]

No.

I think Lauren's tooth gap is adorable. I don't care what others think.

[Danny_dan92]

They’re not wrong. Not everyone will find any one person attractive

[Knightwatch27]

Sometimes maybe. But beauty can mean strictly physical attributes but also spiritual or emotional beauty.

[ProbablyClueless]

It seems that way, yes.
