What does it mean when people say';beauty is in the eye of the beholder';?

i just don't get it......what does it exactly mean...i see that answer all the time wen someone asks how they look.What does it mean when people say';beauty is in the eye of the beholder';?
No one can see themselves the way other people do. We are so judgmental of ourselves, we can't see through our flaws and someone else can .What does it mean when people say';beauty is in the eye of the beholder';?
It means that beauty cannot be judged objectively. Everyone has their own opinion and if one person says you're beautiful, it doesn't mean per se that the next will think the same way.





The sentence is basically to say that the person saying you're beautiful, sees it with his own eyes, processes it with his own mind and his mind decides whether he likes it or not.





What another person sees with their eyes, is never the same.
You are the beholder and what you find beautiful may not be what someone else finds beautiful. To each is own!
Reminds me of the saying ';Beauty is in the eye of the Beer Holder';.
the eye of the beholder is is in eveyone. people don't see everyone the same. you might think someone is beautiful and someone else might not.
Some people like blondes, others like brunettes





Some people like fat women, some like skinny women





Beauty is argumentive. (varies from person to person)





Some people like Paris Hilton, others cannot stand her.
I might think you're beautiful, but someone else might think you're ugly.
it means that people think differently on whats is beautiful and whats not
It means that what you think is beautiful, might not be what someone else thinks is beautiful and vise versa. Not everyone is attracted to the same thing. That is what makes the world unique. If we all liked yellow daisies, and thought they were the most beautiful flower, it would be pretty boring for all the other flowers.
It means that everyone's view on beauty is different. Like I could see a girl who is very tall and skinny and think she's ugly, but then again to someone else, they can view her and see a another side and say she's beautiful.
