Standard accepted truths? Is that like conventional wisdom? Sorry, conventional wisdom is often wrong. I actually find nothing wrong with the first picture you posted. She looks fine to me. The third is obviously your "ideal" woman, so I won't bother saying anything about her. So, 1 and 3 are attractive. As for 2, well, her hair is what scares me most, so she's not that attractive. Maybe if she didn't look like she'd just been electrocuted...

Your efforts are futile, RD. You're not going to convince any of us that there's some kind of accepted "standard" for what traits are good-looking and what aren't.

I know this is a pointless exercise, but why do you guys reject standard accepted truths? I mean, is it really wise to demand that realities are false, because it would be more pleasant were that so?
(For the sake of this exercise, I will use women as the topic)
Which of these three is attractive, and which is ugly?:

Now, am I really going to have to go and find research on what men find ugly, in order to make you all see the light? Gee whiz.
If you like, I can go onto noses.

I like piercings, and gothic chicks.
They give me needs.

Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

As has been said, those are opinions. Some people like larger mates. Some people like skinny mates. Piercings and large noses aren't always turn offs. They may be such for you, but as the majority of us will be relieved to know, your opinions aren't our opinions.

No, ugliness is not just to do with the symetry of your face.

Actually, it has a lot to do with being ugly. I saw a special on Discovery Channel one time, and scientists found that the main factor of physical attraction was facial symmetry.

RaceDriver, you are stating your opinions, not fact.

For example, just because you find someone who dresses as a goth ugly, doesn't mean everyone else does. Some gothic people are highly attractive, and definitely not ugly.


It is not the unknown we fear, but the pain that hides behind it.

Beauty has to do with the proportions of your facial features. If you don't have those proportions, you're more likely to be seen as ugly (at least by people who care overly much about how other people look). Of course, everyone has their own definitions of beauty, and that's probably what matters more.

Ugly...all people are ugly when they say hurtful, mean-spirited comments to others, so all the old phrases like: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "Beauty is only skin deep" are true. Cowardly, insecure people say mean things to build themselves up. They can't feel good about their self image if they don't knock you or others down. These bullies could possibly be victims of verbal abuse. Life can be a vicious circle, but You can stop the ugliness in your life by always saying kind, uplifting things to everyone around you. Use the Thumper rule: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

As the resident Realist, let me lay it out:
Not only humans, but ALL animals discriminate. All animals are prejudiced.

One can be as jelous of beautiful women as they like, they're still be beautiful. One can convince onesself that ugly people aren't actually ugly, and that its just a mean thing people say. But they'll still be ugly.
Reality aint debateable.
