Beauty ..... We know it when we see it, but what is it ?

Asked By: darkice123 36-40, M 3 months ago

scientists are still trying to figure out what makes things and people beautiful. In some ways, it's like asking whether your vision of "red" is the same as someone else's -- there's just no way to know for sure.

Beauty is the enjoyment of looking at or listening to another for their unique look or perspective. It is not necessarily universal although science likes things in a pretty little box, we are more complicated than that. That is why some men love skinny women or heavy women....preference, my dear.....it is never a simple boxed up answer.
