<p>how do you tell if a person is good looking or not? what qualities do you judge based on? how come one person might consider someone super attractive when another may consider them ugly?</p>
<p>survey/ research purposes</p>
<p>Everyone is different in their tastes. Generically, we tend to be attracted to symmetrical facial features, nice skin and hair, etc. but each person has their own likes and dislikes (blue eyes, brown skin, black hair, whatever) and personality plays into it as well, at least for girls (I know some girls are shallow, but guys buy into looks way more than girls ever have). Just because a guy is not a Brad Pitt look-a-like, doesn't mean he isn't sweet and nice and interesting. Okay, yeah, I wouldn't date someone that looked like Woody Allen, no matter how much personality they have, but if they're only "okay"-looking, personality definitely plays into it. Also, a bad personality can make a hottie not so hot after all.</p>
<p>LOL. I don't know anybody without a symmetrical face...</p>
<p>Well, if you look closely no one's face is perfectly symmetrical. But some are a lot closer to perfect than others...</p>
<p>You've never seen or met anyone with a droopy eye (hello, Paris Hilton) or a crooked nose?</p>
<p>Usually, the nose is not crooked to a side, and no, the only people I've seen with a single droopy eye are stroke victims (whom I generally don't find attractive.)</p>
<p>AUlostchick is right. There are certain aspects of beauty that everyone finds attractive such as nice skin, attractive hair, no obvious abnormalities, about average weight, etc.</p>
<p>But what one person finds to be attractive can be different from other people. I am a sucker for bright eyes and brown hair. Although some blond haired guys are considered attractive to other girls, I have never seen any as attractive; it's just not what I personally like. </p>
<p>And for most people looking for a real relationship, personality also comes into play. Although many people would like to say that personality is all that matters, it's not. I have to be physically attracted to a guy if I want to be with them, but personality is the key after that. =)</p>
<p>you don't even think about it. its a feeling you get when you know one is good looking or not.</p>
<p>body language and voice are huge....</p>
<p>Some girls are not classicaly beautiful, but their sexuality shines in the way they move, talk, etc.</p>
<p>Personality, in the sense of being a good person, means nothing in my opinion. So if your ugly, it is not a sign that you are a less worthy being.</p>
<p>very interesting input. i would like to hear some more input</p>
<p>Well, I like curvy girls. Not fat, but not anorexic either. I don't like girls with skinny arms, skinny legs, small hips, or big shoulders. Pointy chins, high cheek bones, protruding foreheads, or strange teeth are an immediate turn off. Bug eyes are a definite no-no. I'm also not a big fan of blondes or people with very tan skin. Pale brunettes, basically. Eye color is irrelevant. I generally dislike foundation/powder, although eye makeup is occasionaly alright, as well as lipstick. Clothes should be snug but not tight, and not too revealing.</p>
<p>As far as personality goes, they have to have some imagination. Too many girls are too easily bored, offended, confused, or frightened. Confidence is key, girls.</p>
<p><em>waves at quicksilver</em> You just basically described me, lol.</p>
<p>quicksilver, why do you dislike foundation/powder but don't mind lipstick (which is usually more noticeable)?</p>
<p>Why would you dislike foundation or powder? If the person is putting it on right, you shouldn't even notice they have it on.</p>
<p>hair is quite important to me. i prefer straight brunette, medium length. skinny. good face. immediate turn offs are really bad teeth, bad hair, bad dress (I think i care more about dress than half the girls at my school. so seeing one dressed quite unfashionably is a big turnoff), super curvy </p>
<p>CONFIDENCE plays a big part. you can tell by the way people walk and talk and present themselves whether they're confident or not and i think that automatically goes into determining how attractive someone is.</p>

<p>^What? </p>
<p>(... and this is why you shouldn't be a certain way just because "guys like it")</p>
<p>Well, foundation/powder is basically the bane of my existence. Regardless of what girls might think, it's obvious as sin to me whether someone has painted their face. They look like clowns who fell is a sandbox full of chalk dust. Upon closer inspection, you can see the individual grains of powder/foundation, and I almost feel compelled to ask them if it feels like they have a coat of dust on their faces. It universally rubs off on my face, hands, clothes, and I dislike the smell of it (earthy, but unnatural) so I end up showering after I interact with anybody wearing it. Bleh.
AULostChick, yay for being cute. I seem to remember seeing your picture before, and commenting on it. You know, I still haven't ID'ed you around here (Auburn) yet. You cutie you.</p>
<p>^hahahahaha CREEPY! but yeah totally agree with you about the makeup thing. it's bad for your skin too.</p>
<p>what a strange question. i don't really know how to answer that. anything that attracts and makes you look at them, considered you're not staring because it's just too ugly you can't take your eyes off. even babies stare at pretty things without knowing why.</p>

<p>Its called 36-24-36, and ALOT of latin and black girls have it, but I rarely see white girls with this. And only 1 asian girl in my ENTIRE life I've seen even come close to this. Ahhhhhh, it was a beautiful thing. :)</p>
