Who influences our idea of beauty? (79)
I think the first girl made a pretty strong impression on me, had a string of similar-looking girlfriends after that. Only thing thats really changed over the years, I lost interest in the ditzy ones. But yeah, size 10 or less sounds pretty good.
my eyes and brain
Social media of course.
Some people are sheeple and are easily influenced by what they see and hear around them.
Others are their own person and look deep inside to find out what real beauty is, irrespective of media etc.
Be yourself and look at people's inner beauty...

Statistics show that good-looking people earn 10-15% more than plain-looking people in the same job,so it makes sense that some people want to get cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance.

The rest are unhappy with their bodies. More than half the 1000 women questioned said photos of friends made them feel worse about their own bodies. Yet low self esteem is still an issue for women. Many also admit de- tagging themselves from facebook photos when they don´t like the way the look.

Most of my teachers through high school were nuns. I'd have to say nuns influenced my idea of beauty so much that reality conformed to it.

We should not go further the fine line between self-esteem and total self-absorption.

Totally agree..
mollybaby: But surely your idea of physical attractiveness probably equates to beauty?
khardasian(s) are not in top of my list for sure.
physical and emotional attractiveness = beauty.

I wouldn't recognise the Kardashians in a line-up, but I do think it all depends on how we first meet the person.
Online, I think personality is more important as you can't really see the physical.
But in real life, you see the physical before you ever get to meet and speak to the person, so that counts more then.
Don't you think?

Understand your point, and i agree with you - in general terms.
if we are making general assumptions about someone online by what they write (witty or not) and we "define" their personality by words, not by actions or what is behind the thought, I think it might not be quite easy. its a star, but ends there.
In real life, its the norm that we go for " physical" and sometimes we get the biggest surprises as other qualities are missing (brain, etc). now, I am more aware of what I will stand for and what qualities I look for in a partner now than I was at 30´s or 40´s. easy, everyone starts at 20, (myself included).

I guess that's why it's so difficult, getting enough of our ducks in a row.

...god made men/woman , but not to perfection....except me....but i was just lucky......i suppose....

I never mentioned perfection.
But for me, there is no point in having a person in a gorgeous body if the personality doesn't work for me.
Or even having a great personality in a body I don't find attractive.
I need both.

No, simply a personality and looks that appeal to me.

a personality, what kind?

What one find attractive cannot properly be defined in words.

dont agree, but understand.
for me, as I am passionate about the things I love, I want someone to have a similar level of passion for the things they love. It doesn't have to be the same things that I'm passionate about, in fact it's better if it isn't, more I can learn after all.
easy to define - for me.
