the plumage of a pheasant.

The only reason a male pheasant with an impressive plumage gets all the hens is because the hens have been tricked and forced and conditioned by the pheasant media and the ever present and oppressive pheasant social dogma of what is supposed to be an attractive trait in a pheasant. All pheasants are equally attractive. Any veneer of an innate sense of attractiveness is a result of corporations trying to make money out of telling them they have to have a certain kind of plumage. Probably back in the 9th century, probably pheasants without any plumage whatsoever, probably were what the hens probably liked, probably, cause that was what was probably socially what was expected, cause socially, probably, and the rich pheasants had no plumage then, probably, cause pheasants like money, and stuff. Social standing and whatever. What hens like in a plumage is totally dictated by social mores. Probably. Pheasants.

See the fnords man, don't be a sheeple.

even if you consider someone as beautiful/handsome, your view of the persons beauty can change rapidly by something they say or do.

Ugly is as ugly does.

Humans of all cultures tend to agree on attractiveness. Symmetry. Good skin. A certain hip waist ratio in women. Skin colour or hair or eye colours are personal or cultural. I tend to prefer darker skin even though am a Celt.

It's an incredibly dumb argument to think humans are ugly compared to other animals, any beauty you find in other animals is based on the similar traits they have darwinistically with us.

And of course aliens might find us ugly. They might be bug like creatures and we'd find them ugly.

And Marilyn Monroe and Maud Gonne were attractive

Here's a decent photo of Ms G.

Where did my preference come from? I think it came from other people telling me what was beautiful

Or it could be your innate preference. It's not exactly "out there" to fancy slim women.

There is no reason why someone with red hair and freckles is not as beautiful as someone who is blonde and tanned.

So you're a ginger whinger and you're looking for some reassurance from us humans. No problem ginger pubes... but you didn't need to write that big spiel.

Don't worry - the cure is coming. Just hold on in there.

Stage 3 people - That's how it usually starts. (stay strong!)

You are teasing the superficial surface image of someone you have never seen. Shots in the dark.:rolleyes:

People in old photos do look very serious but that's only because the idea of smiling into a camera was absurd to them.

Imagine keeping a grin on your face for over the thirty seconds or even a minute it took to take a photo back then!

That's what happened with the Mona Lisa.

All different types of women are considered beautiful though. It's more about facial symmetry etc than hair extensions and fake tan. That's just a look that happens to be popular with some people right now, it doesn't really change their attractiveness level.

If the left side of your face is ugly and the right hand side of your face is ugly, this makes your face symmetrical but not attractive. Most turkeys have symmetrical faces

Not true about the woman anyway - that look gets pilloried. Even though I know lots of women still go for it, but lots and lots don't consider it beauty.

The guy you describe does seem handsome. Might be a horrible person but still handsome aesthetically.

I don't really get your point - beauty is both subjective and objective. Plenty don't share the popular notion of beauty, and even if they do, they're entitled to their opinion.

So someone has dark hair and dark features. What is intrinsically attractive about this?

Beautiful/handsome nonsense
