"beauty is in the eye of the beholder" what does that mean?

Question

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder" what does that mean?

Answer 1

it means different things are beautiful to different people. what may be beautiful to one person might be ugly to another.

Answer 2

It means that what you or someone else might see as a wonderful thing or person, someone might see it as something not so desirable. For instance; a friend might think Jay-Z is hot while you see him and think differently. Something or someone you see might send you head over heels after the person where another person isn't crazy about 'em and wondering why your hooked on the person. Everyone has different tastes so what some people like; someone else might hate. I hope I have helped.

Answer 3

i would like to explain this with an example

a teacher bought a glass tumbler poured water into it till it was half filled and kept it on her table. then she asked the students their views on the tumbler. one of them said that it was half empty whereas the other said that it was half filled.

both of them were correct but it depends on  the way you look at things. the one who said the glass was half empty  criticized it whereas the other took the same tumbler to be half filled (i.e this one took it to be positive than the other one for whom it was negative)

thus it depends on person to person and the way they take things to be. for you it may nice but the other person may not like it for instance you might be having a difference of opinions over clothes with your friends or parents...

i hope you understand

i hope this helps

That what is beautiful to one person may not be to another person.  Everyone's perception of beauty is different.  ;)

Answer 5

It means that people take you for face value, finding beauty from what they see with the eyes instead of looking inside of you.
