(146,317 posts)It is based on personal, individual taste. On Monday, I'll be going to the Minnesota State Fair. I do that every year, and see thousands of people while I'm there. There are a lot of couples among those people. Are they all attractive? Not to me, certainly. But, apparently, to each other, they are. Couples of every variety and made up of two individuals. I sometimes look at people in such situations, and often see couples who are very, very different in appearance. And yet, each couple finds partners who have been attracted to the other.
It's not just appearance that determines attractiveness. Of that I'm certain. There's much more to it than that. Much more.
So, I'm not buying the argument that you're presenting here. I know that, for me, "ugly" has little to do with physical appearance and more to do with personality. I know a lot of other people who feel the same way. Ugly is as ugly does, pretty much, almost always. I've known many people who fit the general mold of physical attractiveness who were truly ugly.
So, thanks for your reply. I have to disagree with it, though.
