WHAT YOU SAY

oh whatever "the truth" i saw that in discovery channel also!! dont think i didnt watch that . i know what ur talking about and i cant believe you actually bought that crap , please symmetry??? there are girls i see with the perfect face but there are people who walk past them without giving them a stare. and just to let you know its not always about symmetry , there's also the facial features that are similar to yours. what am i saying?? that people arent only attracted to each other because the media says they are beautiful but because they have similar feautures of people they like . EX:like i'm attracted to guys with small eyes because i have small eyes or because a male figure i admire(like my father , or bro) has smalls eyes.you dont believe me?? look at successful relationships and pay attention to couples faces , they have similar feautures or they look alike(not because there faces are symmetrical ) . and about studies that shows that attractive people are more successful is bullshit also . i dont see every attractive person who have the same features or crap like that ....come on get real ...EX jackie kennedy didnt have the perfect face but she was one of the few lady icons in the world and she had so many books about her beauty.anyways i know what the ideal female face is and most models have it (niki taylor , laetitia casta, claudia schiffer).it aint always about symmetry , but similarities . and about plastic surgery being a good thing to spend on is just shit from the media to get people to actually spend their money on cosmetic surgery.

Ok, to "babypolarbear" you do not know what you're talking about. I never stereotyped large eyes, full lips, high cheekbones into certain races. And why would I be jealous of people who have chinky eyes and are proud of them? Nor am I jealous of ppl with big noses who are proud to have big noses or any other feature regarded as unattractive. To some extent, yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To some extent, that same notion is not true. There is actually a specific proven ratio that defines what is aesthetically pleasing to the eye of any body regardless if race, culture, etc. Caucasian features are not more attractive than african or asian features. It's all about symmetry and balance. Of course, in any culture large eyes are favoured over small eyes, small noses are favoured over large noses ,etc. People choose a mate on how they look (at first of course)and features that balance and are symmetrical signal that that person has good healthy genes. There's a whole science behind beauty. I bet you don't know why the "ideal" female features are regarded as ideal, do you?
P.S plastic surgery is a good thing to spend money on. Studies have shown that attractive people have better marriage prospects, are more likely to be promoted, and are just usually more successful in life. There's another post before mine that someone else wrote and it basically says the same thing I just did. Come on, admit it, looks DO matter.
