Importance of looks in our society - Page 2

good looks are always important. Even when people change in their nature or character and behavoir... their looks still brighten up the day... so I think good looks are veri important......

Now a loving and caring nature.. can supplement or supercede good looks at times... but thata more a matter of chance.. people are too selfish these days for this supercession to happen... 😊

For me good looks are mainly with intense eyes and captivating smile...For me they sometimes convey a lot and thats good enough..sometimes instant killers....😊.. This criteria is only for girls... not for males or kids...

The inner beauty crap is long since dead... All i see around as I read the eyes, is selfish even trade of emotions....

But people with inner beauty still alive😉 all ways i speak to a person looking into his/her eyes, all are not that selfish, my experience(eventhough love is selfish)😛

We are wired to equate beauty with goodness and so it is natural to like beauty more then ugliness. I read of a study performed on babies and toddlers where babies reacted positively to beautiful people vs not so attractive people , they smiled more at beautiful people .

Beautiful strangers instantly bring smile and positivity to us. However when it comes to our relatives /friends/co workers who may not be as beautiful or pretty, it is their personality and nature that we connect with which overrides the looks factor. It is learned behaviour.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I think if your confident in your self is doesnt matter what anyone thinks! I think confidence is beauty!

I am not saying they arent alive... but in a state amitabh was in sholay on the bridge.. hurt with 10 bullets and trying to load one bullet in his gun to blow up the bridge..😆... how far does it go tell me....inner beauty comes out of innocence and honesty how many believe in these tenets...?😊

😆 😆 Then you should be walking around with a sign as in Tylenol bottle "keep away from children" 😉

As for kicking , I would watch out for kids mum more then the baby.😉

I hopes, at least this does not applied to the child's mother.😆 Otherwise most of the mothers will be in problem. 😉

Nahin yaar, the study was done on strangers. 😊 It is a good thing as human beings , the first emotion we understand is trust.

" infants, as young as three- to six-months of age, agree with the attractiveness judgments of adults, suggesting that the standards and preferences for beauty are not learned gradually through exposure to the media but rather are in place early in life....The results showed that infants' preferences for attractive females do indeed extend beyond visual preferences to include actual behavioral differences. The infants more frequently avoided the stranger when she was unattractive than when she was attractive, and they showed more negative emotion and distress in the unattractive than in the attractive condition.
