I do believe this is true. How one perceives beauty is subjective. Sometimes we hear someone says to another, "oh, you are pretty!", and it kind of left us wondering. But to the person that appreciated that someone, it maybe true. We cannot question how people personally look at things, or people.
How would you explain this adage?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also beauty is only skin deep. What is beautiful to one may not be to someone else. Always keep an opened mind when it comes to dating or liking someone. Put this way, lets say you like someone, and that person does not like you, maybe because they do not find you attractive, but just because that person does not see your beauty, does not mean you are not beautiful. There will be someone that will come along that finds you beautiful. So, as the topic reads, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

i do agree. we have different description of what beauty is. most of the times we admire only the physical aspect but there are some people whom i consider beautiful not because she had a stunning beauty queen face but simply because i admire her through my heart..for me shes a beauty even though for some shes not.

I think that people tend to find certain generic things beautiful, but I also think that people need to be able to look at what's inside a person before they decide whether they're attractive or not. When my partner met me, I was very overweight and couldn't understand why he wanted to be with me, but he said that he found me attractive and certainly loved me, and we have been together ever since that moment and I have to say that it has been absolutely amazing. Everyone has different tastes at the end of the day.

hi, gemma. your story is an inspiration. some people look beyond what they see physically. some people know that physical beauty is only skin deep.
the world we live in compose of diverse personalities and it is not right to look at beauty based on what is in the print or in the television.

That's correct, each individual has his/her own definition of what a 'beauty' is suppose to be. It is all in the eye of the beholder. Smme may consider a set of big eye, a round face feature, a watering mouth, a full lip or the full package in a person as beauty, there is really no fix set of standard that can define beauty. Each of us has our own definition of what constitute 'beauty' inside our pea size head. It is an abstract thinking and is subjective to one own interpretation in relation to that person upbringing, knowledge, standard, culture, and liking.

I will always believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone sees the world in the same ways. why should beauty be looked at any differently. We each see beauty through our own eyes so it is truly in the eye of the beholder and how we envision that beauty to be.
