What is beauty?
Can it be taught or do we decide what is beautiful? Are things beautiful, or is it the light that makes them seem pretty? What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? Who is the most beautiful person you’ve ever met? Why is our beauty different from what was beautiful before? Any thoughts on this one?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..
One cannot truly define beauty cause the jury would never come in again..
I know what i find beautiful when i see it. I cannot seem to be able to describe it very well..
I don’t know why, but for some reason, people get better looking when you get to know them. NO LIE! :D

Thats not always true. Some has the opposite effect.

Dunno..
Many of the persons i think of is beautiful in their own way. It´s hard to put them up against eachother…

What do you guys think about this picture?

Being an artist, I think beauty is something programed in to the human mind. Y’know how they have computers that recognize certain objects? I think deep down, we have an inbred sense of beauty. In art though, original ideas must be accompanied by technical exellence. I think the more technically exellebt something is, the more it is beautiful.

Truth ^^
But why is it that when artistic people like us find something technical and complex beautiful, others dislike it? Are we wrong? Are they wrong? Why are they wrong?… Do we have a right over beauty? Can we say that what they found beautiful is not valid? or is it us that are unvalid?

Well, I think that’s a matter of taste. Take the Mona Lisa, for instance. While you have to agree that it is a technically good piece of art, you may not find it particularly attractive. This is fine. See, another thing about technical excellence is that you must know how to to make a price technically pleasing to the eye. :3
TASTE!!! ^^ I like it…
If beauty is technical, is nature technical?

Very, even more so becuase it’s FUNCTIONAL! :D
That’s like the third dimension of art
1. Originality
2. Technicality
3. Functionality

To be honest, I think life in general is beautiful. Dorky- I know, but hey. The fact that (sorry if this offends anyone religious) I don’t know how we got here, & how people can create beautiful things strike me with the “wow” expression.
I hope that makes sense?…
The only thing that I have total hatred is how modern beauty is defined by how close to being a clone you can be. I’m sorry if this is all over the place :/ lol.

The fact that it can take your breath away?

>_> … Well for me it’s a plus if the dude doesn’t have all teeth crooked. I don’t mind if some are & I don’t mind if the teeth are alittle stained either being that mine aren’t perfect. I’m a heavy coffee drinker. …& if he doesn’t have gum deseases & his breath doesn’t stink?… Man.. harvardgirl is right. You ask hard questions, but even though I can’t find the right answer, I appreciate the fact that you dig deep unlike some people do.
poop on a stick is beauty to the butthole.
beauty is a word created by humans to describe objects or instances perceived by the mind as visually appealing.
I think i nailed it XD

ever heard of a beautiful melody? fail
i no wat it means but i have never sin anything beautiful…. i think i have a mental condition which has messed with my brains connections but eh wateva
this post reminds me of two hours of philosophy back when i was at school >.>
Humans have a tendency to be attracted to ‘Exactness’ So if you are talking about a human face, the more symmetrical it is, the more likely it is that other humans will be attracted to it. That is why if you note, most almost all models have symmetrical faces.
Beauty is what in fact the way a certain something reacts with a person in my opinion. What makes some people like garlic for example and others hate it? The way the brain reacts to the taste is different. What makes some people like a certain type of music and others not? It all depends on the brain.
That’s what i think at least.
to me, beauty is a construct, much like good and evil.
true bueaty comes from within without it everyone would be gorgues jerks

they already are lev, they already are…
lol. To me, beauty is part looks and part personality… maybe 1% smile ;P lol
So each of us reacts in different ways to the things that we percive…
It’s a good hug beautiful?
How does beautiful feel?
What is the meaning of “takes your breath away”?
Pretty holds a smile
If only for a while
Like a glint of gold
It is nothing you can hold
If pretty is your heart
That will make a start
Like a spark to a fire
That I will admire
Keep your heart true
And I will see you
We decide what is beautiful. Yes, things are beautiful. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is people worshiping God. I’ve met so many beautiful people, and I love them all. I couldn’t choose one. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘before’.
