[PaleSlav]

You don't have to be attracted to someone in order to tell if they're good looking or not (attractive).

but this whole goal on this forum is getting laid, and that involves being attracted to the person.

Lolwhat? When did this forum ever become about getting laid? It's about being beautiful and getting validation everywhere you go. It' s about being an ascended human

Sorry buddy, life is NOT a fairy tale, you will NEVER get validation wherever you go, there's always people who will hate you no matter what.

What are you talking about if you’re good looking you’ll get validation from women. Stop coping

You didnt say women before, you said validation everywhere you go, which will never happen.

And yeah, humans in general appreciate a more good looking person. im not coping with anything im just stating reality.

It's subjective in terms of what features and phenos a person might find attractive.

But it's not subjective if we're talking about objective beauty and good looks.

 

[sub6manletnozygos]

up to 4psl to 8psl looks are objective and quantifiable
the range of 8psl is subjective and depends on ones preference of phenotype

 

[Alexanderr]

up to 4psl to 8psl looks are objective and quantifiable

Who are what got to determine which features are better or worse than other features? Who set the standards for what’s good and/or what’s not good?

There does not seem to be a universal standard of beauty consciously determined by people that has held the test of time.

students are more attentive to better looking teachers

one might argue that cultural norms proliferate such a common perception of beauty

Indeed, perceptions of beauty change

The female form has been idealized as far back as 23,000 years ago, yet perceptions of a woman's "ideal" body change constantly, putting pressure on women worldwide.

Also, during the middles ages to even the renaissance times it was common to pluck eyebrows and large eyes with upper eyelid exposure were seen as a attractive. Go to a gallery to look at some renaissance or even elizabethen artwork and you will see this.

However, for the purpose of definition standards of beauty, focusing on the face, one common denominator is symmetry

Symmetry signals health in both humans and animals

The influence and importance of sexual dimorphism with respect to beauty is also important.

However, too much symmetry is not perceived as attractive

Asymmetry and human facial attractiveness: symmetry may not always be beautiful - PubMed

It has been postulated that levels of fluctuating asymmetry in human faces may be negatively related to components of fitness such as parasite-resistance; hence potential mates with low levels of asymmetry may appear more attractive. However, previous investigations of the relationship between...

The capacity to judge beauty seems to develop early in humans. Baby look at more attractive adults longer.

Preference for attractive faces in human infants extends beyond conspecifics

Human infants, just a few days of age, are known to prefer attractive human faces. We examined whether this preference is human-specific. Three- to 4-month-olds preferred attractive over unattractive domestic and wild cat (tiger) faces ( and ). The preference ...

This study implies an almost innate capacity for humans to subliminally evaluate features like facial symmetry and create hierarchies.

Overall i think beauty is a combination of objective and subjective factors. It is physiological and cultural.
