Is everybody beautiful to somebody?

And on the topic of AC's post, not that this is anything of his beliefs, but if say you found your other half, but they weren't aesthetically pleasing, how important is that to you?

I think Angelina Jolie is beautiful, I think Jennifer Garner is "pretty".

I haven't got a specific blueprint as to what would make a woman beautiful as opposed to pretty, or sexy, but there are elements for me personally that do separate them.

On the flip, some guy/girl might think Angelina is pretty and that Jessica Simpson is the most beautiful woman, who I personally can't stand.

Subjective.

Can you define what you mean by that? How aesthetically displeasing are we talking here?

I've dated some girls who I have been intensely attracted to, some I haven't even been attracted to at first but got to like through personality.

Regardless of my unsuperficiality, I do have desires and standards. I have a right to that. I'm not so stuck up my own ass that I'd say "I'd totally date a girl I really don't like the look of if she's awesome inside." Because that, however large, is a part of what everyone looks for in a partner. It doesn't matter to me to the degree that they have to be Adriana Lima, no. Far from.

So you just know when you see them?

i also have obese friends and i know lots of people wjo think they are beautiful beings not pretty, but beautiful. people study others to much by what they see on the outside and not what shines out from the inside.

Like how would you define beautiful?

Beauty is, in my opinion, not something that can be defined as it is something that every one will have a different perception of - what I find beautiful may be totally different than what you do. Beauty is, I would say, what I find pleasing to me, whether visually or otherwise.

Yes.

If this was to me regarding the beautiful/pretty/sexy thing, then yes.

If I don't think a woman is beautiful right away, I won't grow to think she is. Aesthetically. If I think a woman is pretty, there's not much chance I'll consider her more than pretty. Sexy is a different matter. Because that's probably the most subjective and, for me, the sexiest females aren't always the most physically attractive. I believe you don't have to be drop dead gorgeous to be sexy.

yes i agree. what DO you think is beautiful?

So basically, beauty matters to some degree in choice of partner?

i would think so. and hope so. becaus eif not. that relationship would not last and be entirly boring for the most part..

Well, of course.

I think people are too fast to try and classify this as a good or bad thing, it's just a natural thing.

Obviously there are some idiots who would never date anyone unless they were chiseled by Gods regardless of personality. I find that stupid, but...it's their standard. A ridiculously high one, but one they have the right to.

I don't understand there girls or guys who say "I want someone perfect." You're not perfect, why do you, in turn...deserve perfection?

Interesting thread, my dear.

What that person finds to be beautiful, yes. But physical beauty is not all of it - someone could be, according to society's views, ugly, yet have the best personality in the world, and that could make them seem beautiful to someone.

I view perfection as this -- no one is actually perfect. But there may be someone who, to you, IS perfect. They aren't, actually, but to your eyes they are.

Yeah, everyone wants someone perfect to them. I'm just saying, those people who don't take into account that they aren't perfect.

-AC

I think too many people want literal perfection and don't want to accept the other person's flaws. To me, someone's flaws make the person as much as their good qualities do. I KNOW I'm not perfect, I'm far from, so I don't expect anyone else to be.

Bah who am I kidding? I'm 20 now.

I expect no less than Adriana Lima...or the "other" one. Sue me.

🙄

Who's the "other" one? 😕 Jolie?

Don't use that smiley! Goddamn it.

It's my birthday, don't be mean.

Oh yeah, her too. There's another, who's name I cannot reveal for the simple reason that FJ would kick my ass and I do wish to live a few more decades before I ride the night train to Tombstone City.

I'll use that damn smilie if I want 😛 I always roll my eyes at people, hehehe.

I know who the other one is 😉

Oh that chick 😛
