Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?

I say yes


But, to me, the character is more important


If a guy is as hot as hell but has a bad character,bye bye


If you dont believe that youre beautiful and think that youre ugly,it shows in the way you walk,talk,behave and how you give yourself


Pride is something everyone has and should have because if you dont have that you seem ';ugly'; and not interessting for others.


If youre not always happy with yourself then build up your confidence by remembering that youve got the personality someone ';beautiful'; in the eyes of others does not have.


Just always remember that youre you and that more than good enough ;-)Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?
yesIs beauty really in the eye of the beholder?
Yes, I think so because if you go by looks only, then that leaves out all of the people who weren't born like a model. I am not pretty at all(my opinon) and that means, to most men, I'm not beautiful. If you go by personality and not by looks, then everyone can be beautiful and not just super models.
Of course not! Its in the eye of the BEER-holder! lol
yewh
Yes
it's all perception.
I think it is mostly, but once in a while you will come across a truly beatifull person, that every one know is beautiful, like.....Tyra Banks, or Keira Knightley.
Yup.


Just because a person looks good to you, doesn't mean that same person looks good to me.

What do you understand about the phrase ';beauty is in the eye of the beholder';?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder





Meaning





Literal meaning





Origin





This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. In 1588, the English dramatist John Lyly, in his Euphues and his England, wrote:





';...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote.';





Shakespeare expressed a similar sentiment in Love's Labours Lost, 1588:





Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,


Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:


Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,

What do you understand about the phrase ';beauty is in the eye of the beholder';?
That it's about personal perspective.





As it is said - there a few real truths in the world...the rest is just perspective.
The message is essentially 'perception is everything'. For instance, a woman may appear beautiful to one man, but quite ordinary to another. Nothing has changed about the woman--it is only the perceiver that has changed.
excerpts: ';This means that something or someone is beautiful, depending on the person who is looking.





For example, if my child draws a picture, using many colors and asymmetrical lines, and writes down, ';Dad, I love you';, I think that it is beautiful. But if another person looks at the picture, he may think, ';It's good, but my son drew a better picture.';





Another example is in art. If I look at a painting by a famous artist, it is possible that I can't understand it and think it's ugly, but if another person such as a famous painter sees it, he will surely say that it is beautiful.





I think people judge beauty just in relationship to themselves. If I wear casual clothes to my job, the people who like wearing formal clothes might say that I look ugly.';
i get that it means while someone may look at a flower and say its beautiful but another may say that it is the ugliest flower in the world beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It means that what is considered beautiful depends on the person doin the beholding.
Beauty is in the eye of the person who sees it...in other words not everyone will agree that someone is beautiful or something is beautiful.
Everyone has their own idea what is beautiful and is likely to be different than someone else's idea of beauty.
Beauty is subjective. People can only express their personal or professional opinions about something. No one can say with absolute authority that something is beautiful or not.





Peace and Love
To me, I think it means that everyone's standard of beauty is different thus it depends on the person or ';...the eye of the beholder';

Beauty in the eye of the beholder?

true...or false


explainBeauty in the eye of the beholder?
...true, I see, U see, too! Perspective and points of views, are never...exact, similar, almost, not quite, maybe, never the


same!


...enjoy!Beauty in the eye of the beholder?
I think it is true.





People have different feelings about different things. Some people look for looks. Others look for personality. If they feel a person is attractive, it doesn't always have to be because the person looks beautiful. The person could be the most humble, caring person on earth. This might not appeal to someone else because they're not good looking from the outside.





So, basically - what you perceive the person to be is what you're gonna describe the person as. This is naturally going to vary from person to person.
True because we all see what we want to see.
True because people judge the external temporary manifestation of the true self. It is uniquely relative.
Yep, it's true. What to one is beauty is ugliness to another. It's all about perspective.





Life is like a gi-normas Diamond with light refracting from it in all directions. We, the human race, are all standing around the Diamond asking one another what is the meaning of life. Well, it kinda depends on where you are standing and the light you are seeing reflecting from the diamond in the place you are. One says ';it's definitely blue';, the other says ';no it is isn't, it's red';, the other sees ';green'; and yet another sees ';orange'; or ';yellow';. Each, standing in their own perspective sees the same Diamond but with different views, none of which is wrong for them. But each is right in and of themselves from where they stand. The Diamond is still the same Diamond, but it depends on where you are standing as to which perspective you have and what color you see.





So, beauty, and all of life for that matter, depends on the eye of the beholder.
OMG ! THAT WAS from twightlight zone, we had to watch it for art stupid but yeah. lol ! i guess true idk i didn't rly pay action to it. ROFL.

Everyone has a different palate. I may like Spaghetti- you may like Filet Mignon.





Everyone likes different kinds of music.





Our perceptions of the world are selective. Our eyes seek out that which we covet.





We hear what we want to. See what we want to.





One man's filth is another man's treasure trove.





Ergo, to the eyes, what is to be found as aesthetically pleasing depends on to whom the eyes belong.
definitely true. how many times do u see a couple and think... jeeeze whats he/she doing with her/him. the more i like someone the more beautiful they seem.
Of course. No two people see something the same way. It all depends on past experience and stuff like that.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder does he have a hard time seeing?

I think Heaton Rotheray (The Beautiful South) says it all in his song





It doesn't take a mathematician


To add a simple sum


Either you are simply beautiful


Or I am simply dumb





Dumb, dumb, dumb





It doesn't take Robert The Bruce


To see the web you've spun


Either you are simply beautiful


Or I am simply dumb





Dumb, dumb, dumb





It doesn't take a labrador


To show a blind man sun


Either you are simply beautiful


Or I am simply dumb





Dumb, dumb, dumb





The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars


Jupiter, Neptune and Mars


All these things I clearly see


It don't take a telescope for you to love me





Dumb, dumb, dumbIf beauty is in the eye of the beholder does he have a hard time seeing?
I guess you don't understand the phrase. let me make it simple for you, is not everything that looks good on the out side is actually good on the inside, hence the beholder does not think a person as perfect, because they are pretty and have a good body. The beholder see you for what you are, if your unkind, a horrible person, a liar, a cheat, do evil things to others, he is going to see all that and no matter how good looking and sexy you look your only going to seen as a horrible person.If beauty is in the eye of the beholder does he have a hard time seeing?
depends who the beholder is , but everyone has the potential to view the world in its beautiful form, whether they chose to view the world or someone in this way is a different matter !





prob not helped you but , oh well !
if he has a hard time seeing he can always let his fingers do the walking and explore all areas of the map and find the prize.
Indeed.......your dazzling beauty blinds me........





the aurora surrounding you, is so bright, I need shades. !
Well if it is true the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I want them to be hold my beauty quite soon!

If beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, then who is the beholder?

''To 'behold'' is to look.





The one who looks is the one who sees, and it often takes a someone special to perceive the beauty of someone who, seemingly, has been overlooked in the eyes of others.





Sash.If beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, then who is the beholder?
A beholder is the person looking.If beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, then who is the beholder?
