Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. True or false?

Is everything that one considers beautiful subjective, or is there a standard?

Could the holocaust be considered beautiful? Or an ape in a dress?

Beauty is subjective, yes.  Not everyone finds the same things appealing.  I'm not sure about the holocaust, but another ape might find an ape in a dress beautiful.

No, it is in the eye of the beholder. Some people just feel different things/people are beautiful.

A nazi may find the holocaust beautiful so its definitely subjective.

There are people who jack off to beastiality so that answers that.


Being beautiful is different than being hot and sexy however.

Beautiful is the entire package of brains,personality,looks,soul... my woman for instance is beautiful.

Girls in 2 piece thongs with hot bodies but not much else are just hot but not beautiful.

No, that can't be considered beauty, even if they think so from their point of view.... ugh, I'll try to explain my point when I'm thinking clearer. ?This shit is always hard to put into words.

True. Everything is subjective when it comes to the senses.

However, some cultures have their own set of standards that have evolved over history. The standard of what looks good changes every 15 years or so. You can see that in fashion, movies, architecture, etc..

I think Twiggy's shoes are beautiful.

In the 1960s she was considered extremely skinny. Today she would be classified as having a normal weight. See what I mean?

Yeah I know. The women in the first pic were probably more acceptable in the '60s than Twiggy was.

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, but I also know some very plain looking people that I find extremely beautiful because they are so beautiful on the inside (no, I didn't cut them open to look). I find personality way more attractive than physical features. Geez- then why the hell did I fall for Axl? Okay, so I can be shallow too and love just for a sexy bod.

BTW~ SLCPUNK Love The Gorilla in the dress!!? rofl

i completely agree with the girls example.. sure there's hot girls out there but most of them are usually too fake to be considered truely beautiful

Thanks 2 those who went 2 Mustang Harry's on May 12th. That made my first concert experience something I'll never forget. Never did I feel like I fit in anywhere as much as I did amongst you strangers
