What are the criteria for judging beauty?

Question

is it height that matters, or skin colour or weight or the vital statistics or what may be called the inner light?

Answer 1

to me the beauty of another women, yes it involves her appearance, and im being totally honest, but her personallity, how she talks, how she acts, that is beauty in a women, and in a man, looks are great, but hey, he could be butt ugly, but iff he is a real person inside, who is loving, and has a great personalty, then to me that is beauty

Answer 2

Beauty, I know it when I see it, but it's so hard to describe.  

Answer 3

Beauty cannot be judged, it can only be enjoyed, just as music cannot be tasted or fragrance heard...

Answer 4

No, the criteria for judging beauty is based upon nature itself and the ratio which is associated with it.  The ratio 1.61803399 is repeated so often in nature that we perceive it as beauty.

It is referred to as the "Golden Ratio".

Answer 5

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One guy might think a girl is ugly and another guy will think she is pretty. You can't really universally judge beauty, it is an opinion.

Answer 6

What is beautiful to you might not be to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you had to answer, I would go with the inner light.

A damaged inner light can turn a gorgeous person ugly real quick.

Answer 7

I think the whole idea is that we shouldn't judge others based on their outside.  I think the only time we can judge is if we make the complete effort to know and understand the person on the inside.  

In many cases, normal to unattractive people have a great gift to make others feel so special and wanted in their lives.  And people love to feel special, so they gravitate to be around people who make them feel this way.  

And have you noticed how so many not so attractive guys end up with gorgeous women?  Yes, they know how to validate those women, and make them feel special!

Answer 10

Whatever you find beautiful.

Answer 11

Beauty is the quality of how true something is to it's own nature, according to Socrates.

Answer 12

There has been a lot of research in this matter and yes it does appear to have a lot to do with ratios and symmetry.

But more than that, it is what we find aesthetically pleasing in both sexes. We subconsciously look for quite primitive traits.

Attractiveness in the face is common to both sexes; strong healthy hair, big eyes, full mouth, good bone definition. and also the type of physique we are attracted to personally plays a big part:

In the male we look for

Broad shoulders

Powerful chest

Strength in physique

In the female we look for

Sexual allure

Proportions of the body

Feminie grace in movement

These are just a few of the things we consider regarding physical beauty and it is very individual although there are common held concepts of what defines classic beauty.

It is only when we look beyond physical beauty that we give inner beauty the opportunity.

Of the two, inner beauty persists regardless of physical beauty and defines true beauty, or the inner light that radiantly glows enhancing the outer beauty that is within all of us.

Answer 13

Beauty cannot be judged otherwise it won't be a Beauty any more..same as Love
