   Do you think you are beautiful?  Be honest.
   
   I just a question about a relationship between beautiful and not-so-beautiful.  What is beauty anyway.. as Miss Piggy says:
   "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye."

   Physically? No, but sometimes I think, maybe, at least some of the inside of me, is. And I really like Miss Piggy's rendition of beauty. Would also imagine that she has given some black eyes.... Are "you" beautiful? I don't know. But in your profile pic I think you have a beautiful smile. Good question, Rosie2010.

   Got to love Miss Piggy's take on things, and were I a little more confident about it then I'd wholeheartedly agree . I personally think no, physically, though I love that my husband so adamantly disagrees. Internally, I sure try to be, and I think I succeed most of the time .

   No, I am not physically beautiful but I am okay with that.  I try to be a kind and nice person and my family loves me--and thinks I am beautiful. That is all I need.

   I believe people who are "physically beautiful/handsome" know they are.They get verification from "strangers" everyday.
   I think it would be nearly impossible to be "eye candy" and not know it.
   
   I stress the word "strangers" because one's parents can tell them they're beautiful all day everyday but if the outside world doesn't reflect it you won't believe it's true. One example is a girl who never gets asked out on a date.
   she is not likely to "believe" she is beautiful no matter how many times her daddy says so!!!
   We tend to value the opinions of strangers over family and friends who love us because they're biased.
   
   Today we live in a world where it's not politically correct to say someone is unattractive, plain, or ugly.
   You are considered shallow for uttering such words.
   Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
   However truth be told a large percentage of the masses are usually in agreement with who is "beautiful" in general terms.
   
   Inner beauty which is the best kind of beauty can only be seen after spending time with someone.
   Back to your question: Yes, I believe I am handsome.
   In fact the more you drink the better I look! lol
   
   Seriously though I believe if a person feels good about themself they will emit beauty, sex appeal, and charm through their pores! It's not unheard of hearing someone say the following about someone who is not a "traditional beauty", "He/she has (something) or (it) that makes them hot!" Confidence is a beautiful thing!

    I have moments when I am beautiful.  They catch me unaware and light shines from me.  The light bathes all around me and we all feel beautiful.  But these moments are very rare.  Mostly I am interesting - that is what people tell me and what they say about me to others.  I am happy with interesting but always love those beautiful moments.

    I think you can be as beautiful as you let yourself be. If you ignore popular culture which is ripe with images of models who spend 8 hours a day in the gym and focus on what really matters in life, you can find what makes you truly beautiful and unique.

    Do I think I am beautiful? That would depend on how you mean the question. 
    
    Physically, there is no doubt, I am anything but beautiful.
    
    On the other hand, I do recall that beauty is more often from the inside out, instead of from the outside.
    
    Well, Rosie, I'd just have to say "no" I am not beautiful, only that I try to treat everyone kindly. That would make me "nice" not "beautiful," I think.

    Whats this beauty? Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder-Shakespear version. It is how you treat a person. It is how youre disciplined and well mannered. It is the kindness of your heart. Beauty can also be known as looks. But seriously would you just date someone for their looks? Most men just go for looks because they want US women PIE! You ladies know what im talking about. Its also the kindheartedness of ones heart.

    Sure! I don't know if I THINK so, but I've known a lot of really ugly people that other ugly people THOUGHT were beautiful, and a lot of really beautiful people who *thought* they weren't... Sincerity in the eyes and a natural smile does beautifully, whatever you look like. At least, for a properly intelligent beholder...

    I am absolutely gorgeous!  Dashingscorio said it well, it is "impossible to be 'eye candy' and not know it"!  I am complimented most days.  BUT the true test, the meaningful beauty is inside beauty.  And that is the beauty that is hardest to assess yourself.  I like to believe I am caring and sweet, thoughtful, a great mother, intelligent, inventive, hard-working, and self-motivated.  But spousal arguments make one question those attributes!

    When I look at myself in the mirror, I see the safeness and comfort of what I am. To me, that is beauty. I often think of my little cousins as the most adorable kids I've ever seen. I think, biologically speaking, I identify with our family resemblance. I enjoy and trust their faces because I can identify our connection through them.

    I think beauty comes from within and makes our shell either attractive or unattractive.  How many of us have seen a bombshell (if you're a guy), and (beefcake), if you're a gal, and had to wipe the drool strings off your chin?  Then, they opened their mouth and ruined the moment.  Next, you come across people that at  first glance weren't extraordinary, but they had a radiance from within that made them beautiful.  Notice how we all, myself at the top of the list, didn't answer with a simple yes or no?  I think even the best looking people find flaw within themselves that no one else sees.  We are our own worse critics.  If we think we are, we squirm at the thought of actually saying it, fearful of how we would be perceived.

    No, but I'm not ugly either. Somewhere in between I think - An acquired taste I guess you could say
    I have definitely lost a lot of confidence since I got bashed last year, but even before then I didn't consider myself 'beautiful', neither inside nor out. I accept myself totally, but to be honest I am a mixed bag like everybody else. Sometimes great, sometimes not so great.
    I think that the women who's husbands say how beautiful they are should listen to that, because it is so true that when you are with someone they can become the most beautiful person in the world to you (Or just the opposite! Lol:)
    I gotta agree with Miss Piggy here, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

    I have to disagree with dashingscorpio, a woman or man even can go thru life not knowing they are eye candy. They just aren't the type people who seek approval or compliments and if received don't let it go to their heads.
    Now am I beautiful? I have never thought that and never will. I have always struggled with that word, even with the word pretty. I think of myself as the character Sula from Toni Morrison's novel, Sula. She considered her self plain jane like.

    Hmm.. its always harder when you are your own biggest critic.
    I find myself very attractive, but beautiful has so many meanings. I believe inorder to be beautiful, one must have a beautiful personality, graceful, with poise. One must also be attractive on the outside. I don't consider myself beautiful yet, because I need to learn to be more graceful and a little nicer when I approach people.

    Only a minute percentage of people in this world can be classified as physically beautiful and/or handsome.  Almost every child is told by parents that he/she is beautiful.  However, that counts in the slightest.  No matter how parents tell their children that they are beautiful/handsome, if there is no other outside verification, children will feel quite invalidated. 
    
    One can tell one's daughter that she is beautiful, stunning, and striking but if boys, later men, are not attracted to her then what is the point.  Beautiful/handsome people KNOW that they are scrumptious.  They receive outside verbal accolades.  People stare at them in admiration.  They are the ones asked if they want to model, be in commercials, or enter beauty pageants.   
    
    One knows when he/she is not beautiful as outside of the parents, he/she is NEVER noticed for his/her looks.  One knows that if one is not a ten and above in the  LOOKS DEPT., he/she oftentimes develop qualities such as intelligence and a personality.  If a person is known to have a GREAT personality, chances are that he/she is not physically beautiful.  To say that a person has a great personality is a nice way of saying that he/she is well...ugly or not far from it.
    
    The author Maya Angelou indicated that she knew that she was not beautiful so she'd better be smart if she wanted to succeed.   Barbra Streisand, not known to be a beauty, had a beyond phenomenal signing voice.  Madonna, also a non-beauty, develop her signing talent and also knew how to constantly invent herself in order to be continuously on top of the game. 
    
    Plainer and less attractive people have to work harder to be noticed, appreciated, and successful in industries in which looks/beauty are highly prized. In essence, a person knows when he/she is not considered or deemed to be beautiful, handsome or attractive.  However, there are ugly people who adamantly state that they are beautiful/handsome regardless of the consensus.  They are IN DENIAL as far as their looks go!
