Hi Elaine!!
The beautiful is a subjective topic because depends on the eyes who are looking! Smile It is something more the physical appearance! The beauty is inside us!!
Bye.

]Most of the people give beauty more importance that it has! I think this behavior shows what superfluous humans beings can be. Why is important women has good locking? Question I accept that in a specific jobs, like model, clients attendance and others but it is not important in other fields. Wink

hi Wink
hmm, i don't want to repeat all my thought i've already said in another thread refering this issue but just came a new thought to me.
beauty is not only what a person looks like (naked, maybe "pure"?!) but it's also very important what she/he is doing with her/his looks.
if you'd take all these women (with men it's more difficult) who are generally seen as beautiful, and take away their clothes and make-up which one would you still assess as beautiful?
we (especially the women) can make extremely much with fitting clothes, the right colour, (own) style and the right, fitting make-up. i know many people who have a great charisma, they have their own (fashion) style but maybe aren't generally very beautiful - but good-looking.

i think yes, it is important for a women to be good-looking (don't have to be beautiful) because most people don't have the chance to know their character and personality but they see their appearence. for example, if she goes to a party, most people don't know her personality but notice first her look.
you know what i mean?

greets, Sarah

I think everyone has a really good point, appereance, personality, anyone is right, but look at it this way, im probably wrong, really really wrong, or just stupid. But everything that comes to marriage, and stuff like that, all comes because of what the person thinks.

Ok, i didnt make myself clear on that, but for example. Lets say I, well, this is sort of true, I really like this girl, altough I know that shes not the most beautiful girl, everyone even says that, some say ugly, I go more of personality. But thats me, I am my own, I go for what I like. A lot of men go for looks, so thats what they like. Some go for personality, thats them, you cant expect everyone to agree on one or the other. This post is trying to tell the difference on, is looks are important, and someone says more of personality. So depending on who, no one can agree on anything.

And dont yell at me. Everyone was right, was just making my point.

actually i think you're very right! (both of you)

but strange to say - everyone agree's that personality/character is (much) more important than looks/appearence but when it comes to reality it is a fact that the women who aren't so good-looking (see image above) have much much more difficulties to find a real friend (doesn't matter if a boyfriend or 'only' a friend) than relatively good-looking women. even if the 'uglier' women have a deeper and more pleasing personality than beautiful women who are often superficial.

and, what else came to my mind, i think that these women who aren't in a general way called 'beautiful' but manage to overcome this common image of ugliness and beauty, so to say manage to accept their appearence are usually much more impressing and have a deeper personality than women who have beauty from the beginning and take it for granted.

oouh, what a philosophic issue.. Shocked Mr. Green

I think beauty is very important. I'm convinced that among all those people most of them have a good hart. We humans cannot see if 1 person have a good hart. The only thing we can see is the look. We get to know the personality from a person when we get to know each other.

Example: Would you go flirt with a ''ugly'' girl even though you think she have a good personality? I don't...rather w8...girls enough Very Happy



N e way I think i'll get flamed..But hey! It's my opinion it's a free land!


FLAME AWAY....

Hi
Beauty lies in the eyes of beholders, but u can't hide ur actual nature .Morphological beauty is temperory and inner beauty is permanent.You can live happily with a ugly girl having inner beauty,while can't live more with illmannered girl having mask of beauty .
So friend actual beauty are from thoughts.
