Yes, I think freckles and ginger hair is cute.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Firestarter CUTE????? FRECKLES AND GINGER COMBINED WITH PALE SKIN AND BLUE EYES IS THE ULTIMATE BEAUTY!

I don’t know about general standard, but I think we all have our personal preferences of what we would consider beautiful.

There are those that are “visually” good looking. I’d notice and appreciate features and form. Do I find them attractive? No, not necessarily.

Then there are those that I find attractive, that others may not consider good looking.

But that’s just the physical.

What i regard as “beautiful “ would involve an overall knowledge or understanding of the person’s attitude, behavior, intellect, personality, values, and heart.
popmol · 22-25, M
@CookieCrumbs aah thats a good way of saying, not beautiful by your standard of beautiful but pleasing to look at!
@popmol
You got it!!!

And remember: not everyone who is visually pleasing to look at is “attractive “ to everyone. 😉
popmol · 22-25, M
@CookieCrumbs of course!
JustNik · 51-55, F
Hm. I kinda balked at the idea of rating beauty as I don’t give it a lot of conscious thought, but I think I get what you mean. I’m drawn more to interesting character than perfect form. Some human quality or expression of soul or intellect. I can appreciate that standard kind of symmetry that inherently pleases the eye, but it’s more like thinking “that’s nice” than truly finding it beautiful. Beautiful is something more.
popmol · 22-25, M
@JustNik i just don't know where i should find this love you describe! online dating isn't working for me and i'd just be a wallflower at parties!
JustNik · 51-55, F
@popmol I think it’s best to focus on believing in yourself and enjoying life and let the love find you when it will. 🙂
popmol · 22-25, M
@JustNik i'll definitely try :) thanks!
Well, I am not sure what the general standard is. But, to be beautiful for me you're going to have to have more going for you than just a pretty face... nice smile, personality, their energy.. I find beauty in many different ways than just that>There uniqueness, their ability to be themselves and not care what others think, it can be in a way a person talks, the way they sit, the way they walk, a peculiar face they make, an unusual habit they have, a quirky sense of humor, etc
popmol · 22-25, M
@Thekeeper funsies!
Ontheroad · M
I don't know it's off from some arbitrary standard, but I don't classify beauty as solely as a physical characteristic. Age too has something to do with it.

Generally speaking, I see the younger as fresh or pretty and only when a person gets older do I see the beauty emerge.

Not saying there are not beautiful younger people... it's just not as often seen in the young.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Ontheroad so your beauty = (physical beauty x wisdom)
Ontheroad · M
@popmol It's more than wisdom, but that is certainly part of it. It is at least for me, more of what I "see" in the person's heart/soul.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Ontheroad so beauty = physical beauty x (wisdom + (soul quality * soul size) +soul form)
FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M
For me, beauty is more of a feeling than an image. It's the light in someone's eyes or the energy in their smile, even the impact of their words, that makes them "beautiful" to me. I find it very hard to tell whether someone is truly beautiful or not until I get to know them a little.

Of course I'm pretty far off the "general standard" too, so there's that.
popmol · 22-25, M
@FrozenWasteland haha well thats great to hear :)
Casheyane · F
Beauty is on the eye of the beholder. The standards of beauty also differ for each country and ethnic group.

Personally, when it comes to looks, I have my own standards of what I'd say is acceptable for myself. So I guess I base my perspective on others from that. As they say, we could be our worst critic sometimes.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Casheyane makes sense :) but you're great!
Casheyane · F
@popmol Thanks :)
SW-User
Yeah, probably. I don't look at what is conventional, though that doesn't mean I might not find some conventional beautiful too. It's just that I find a lot of non-conventional beautiful too.
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User well its conventional for a reason :p
haha for me its weird too because i have separated beauty like a stats game
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I think,it might be so, I think people are ugly who have ugly attitudes and are cruel and it matters not how beautiful there outsides may be they are not attractive to me.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Justmeraeagain ooh definitely! i find it hard to find someone ugly appearance wise but personality wise, easy!
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
Ultimately, the beauty I most value is inner beauty. But I like cute nerdy guys who are kind and a selection of other things. But haven’t found anyone that actually meets those standards. Just decoys. I need a man that is actually legitimately into health and fitness and actually knows how to cook healthy meals for himself and is actually capable of keeping up with me on outdoorsy adventures. One day, he shall fall upon my path. If not, I will be a bad ass independent lady nonetheless with a very cute cat. And enjoy life with my freedom.
popmol · 22-25, M
@YoungPoet345 i'l try making an export of me to america xD well upgraded me
SW-User
Probably, I don't really rate their beauty. I need to know someone before I find them beautiful, I can see a person is attractive but beautiful is more intense
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User aah like that!
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
At my age beauty is more about what people are than how they look
popmol · 22-25, M
@GJOFJ3 i think older women can be lovely looking though
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@popmol Definitely. I just give more weight on personality than physical beauty
popmol · 22-25, M
@GJOFJ3 well it has more importance so thats good.
SW-User
Ones beauty is always in the eye of the beholder
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User but the average beholder, how does it compare?
SW-User
@popmol why does there need to be a comparison? Why does one want to stay in the “standard”?
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User how else would we know who eats the most cheese by country!
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I believe it is. A beautiful person is beautiful on the inside first.
popmol · 22-25, M
@SweetMae well i think they can look delicious but cannibalism isn't that well liked these days!
SW-User
Yes, I think so.
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User haha so you don't have the general taste? so think you think strawberries aren't super delicious?
SW-User
@popmol I thought we were talking about people 👀
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User people and strawberries! although the strawberries in this case were as an example.

I have been told my beauty standards are not the generally acceptable norm.

But i say to them -- Maybe you've been brainwashed and cant see for yourself what beauty is.
It is the soul. The side of them that is still there when there is no one around to see and no one to witness.
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User probably
SW-User
I don't judge people's looks/appearance anymore. Was like that ages ago. I think if I like someone for whatever reasons that person is beautiful to me.
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User i see!
Mindful · 56-60, F
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am shocked at what different “beauty” people search for and why.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Mindful thats why i asked.
My standard [b][i]IS[/i][/b] the standard though.
popmol · 22-25, M
@MsAnnThropy wait because of you i dislike myself? 😱
@popmol ☹️
popmol · 22-25, M
@MsAnnThropy sorry it was a joke i dislike myself for weird reason that are not the standard :p so no worries xD
KimmyGary · F
Im a little off now and then too
popmol · 22-25, M
@KimmyGary only a little?
KimmyGary · F
@popmol yes only a little

ElRengo · 70-79, M
General?
I rarely use military standards for beauty.
popmol · 22-25, M
@ElRengo aah too bad!
And what is the general standard ?

We are unprecedently bombarded with more images of beautiful people than ever before in human history .

Self image is at an all time low so bad, we fliter how we look just to appear 'presentable '.....to [i] strangers ![/i]

What is considered normal thses days...isnt .
popmol · 22-25, M
@OogieBoogie well not sure where you live but i mean the ladies who get on covers, they did a test at some point to see who the hottest women is determined by country, and some liked hourglass figure more here but in other countries it was pear shape for example.

hah i was just thinking about this question because in highschool when the guys said 6 i said 10 and when they said 10 i said 6
Justenjoyit · 56-60, M
I just rate people by their attitude and friendly looks.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Justenjoyit lovely :) wait how woudl you rate me?
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
It’s more important how someone treats other people. For me anyways. There’s too much pressure on people to look perfect, especially women. Every celebrity and influencer is photoshopped so how does anyone fit that standard. Seems pretty unattainable to me.
popmol · 22-25, M
@iamonfire696 to me i'd love to have a nice hug with you!
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@iamonfire696 You are beautiful and treat others beautifully too.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@GJOFJ3 Thank you. I appreciate that. I have some haters here that have held me to this very high standard. I am not sure why. It’s been a bad day though 😢.
