<<< One man's meat is another man's poison. >>> Yes. :) <<< The baby is used to seeing facial features of those around him/her and find difficulty later in life when they encounter people of different races and cultures - particularly those with dissimilar facial features. >>> No. IMO men's facial and bodily beauty perception as well as their cultural/behavioral foundations are not dependent on their childhood experiences - latter are still mainly different for different races and cultures as you noted but beauty perception is absolute I believe/feel/experience... Well, as you also noted and I agreed "one man's meat is another man's poison" :) - I mean there should exist individual for every human being races' and cultures' independent face and body proportions/"templates", which attract one man and detract the other one and vice versa... And of course those "face and body proportions/templates" change(/get extended/enriched) with men getting through their lives obtaining new experiences, understanding differences in some foundations of other cultures and races compared with the ones they get on birth... <<< But, that said, we could all, probably, find consensus in saying "She is pretty" or "he is handsome". >>> Yes, if we use the same "templates" or we're ready to constructively adjust/extend the set of each other "templates"... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 7:40 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Friday OT: 10 ways to indicate you are a geek >>look beautiful and the other ones ugly Well, that very much depend on "the eye of the beholder". One man's meat is another man's poison. What some person might find attractive, others may not. But, that said, we could all, probably, find consensus in saying "She is pretty" or "he is handsome". We all have a built in "idea" of what constitutes Good Looks. I am sure Ratios play a part in that. Can this "feeling" be measured/quantified? Probably not, but that is not to say that there is not some academic somewhere in the World obtaining a grant from Max Factor or similar to try to find out. It probably has a lot to do with early development of course, whereby thee baby is used to seeing facial features of those around him/her and find difficulty later in life when they encounter people of different races and cultures - particularly those with dissimilar facial features. But once we have been around these different people for a long time, we start to subtly notice and differentiate between the facial features. Do all kittens look the same. Yes, unless they are yours and then you know the difference.
