Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?
am i the only one who gets frustrated at this wishy washy cliched clap trap about beauty being in the eyes of the beholder ?
why are some people so reluctant to admit the reality. We KNOW when we see a goodlooking/hot person and we KNOW when we come across an unattractive one. but some of us cant help but say “dont say he/she is unattractive…s(he) will be attractive to SOMEBODY”
yes, there is the difference. a goodlooking person is attractive to the vast majority of people…but an unattractive person is only attractive to ONE person…or maybe two. if thats the case I want to be the ‘attractive’ thats attractive to more people !
now get this…the beauty in the eye of the beholder crap only stands true when we compare people who are very close in attractiveness; not when we compare a goodlooking person and an obviously unattractive one. so when we compare say a young Brad Pitt & George Clooney, it will come down to a matter of preference bcos both are very goodlooking men. it might be a pretty even split. but when we compare Brad Pitt and Danny Devito, the beauty in the eye of beholder wont stand true. 99.9% of people will say Brad Pitt is more attractive.
having said that i understand this will fall on deaf ears and some people will still say “so what…maybe the wife of Danny Devito finds him attractive”
its impossible to hold any discussion with those type of people
