Is Beauty universal or not

[the_bob_delusion]

e.g. say Beethoven, Bach. Picasso

Is it just a matter of opinion what constitue as beauty? Is it a majority decides. 

Is beauty universal? Is there an objective way of deciding beauty?

How do YOU decide what beauty is?

[colic2bullsgirlore]

very close ...and I am sure those personalities/stars would have served the same purpose.

It is an Australian connection so................ overseas baby boomers do not stressf you do nopt recognize them

...you are not losing your marbles.

I figured they might be Australian stars. Do you know the actors that I posted? 

[colic2bullsgirlore]

one was an lunar art appreciator

another is related to Mr T

for the  third corn is the clue

purple haze must give the fourth away

and then there is Nijmegen a glaring link to the fifth person

[colic2bullsgirlore]

yes tcm those actors are certainly universal

I know them.    My teenage perceived problems were solved by the panel of Beauties.  I adored Pat.

Dita Cobb, Maggie T, Pat ? Hazel Philips and Eric Baume the Beast.

The winner well done lyoyds lights the original beauty and the beast cast

Pat Lovell... and Mr Squiggle ...the man from the moooooon

[lloydslights]

It was Pat Firman.  Had to Google her surname.  She was the other Beauty.

Pat Firman.. sounds familiar... I couldn't find a pic of her to compare.

I though it was Pat Lovell but I can't remember her having dark hair

The picture came from an Eric Baume biography cover

I think in terms of physical beauty, then yes, PERCEIVED beauty is universal.

A recent study was done as an updated version the The Clark Study from the 30's that looked at skin colour. Almost everyone said that the white faces were more beautiful than the dark faces. This includes those people that were non white and non-caucasian.

Also, I agree with you in terms that babies prefer beautiful faces. There have been lots of studies on this subject. And it isn't just about human faces being symmetrical as an ideal face. The studies covered this quirk and others and all had the same result.
