I was reading about women feeling attractive and other times when I have read/hear someone describe themselves or someone else as beautiful I wish I could see them.
I really like to know what, particularly other women, find beautiful in women.

I grew up in the big boob, big blonde hair, blue eyed era, but I always liked the dark hair, eyes and tan skin so beautiful.
Always wished I’d looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones.

OP has said ciao so hopefully we can bin this ridiculous thread

Jackofallsorts · 18/12/2021 17:42

Facial Symmetry and good body proportions

Justheretoaskaquestion91 · 18/12/2021 17:43

But everyone judges everyone on physical appearance, even if subconsciously. That’s how humans work snd why we find some people more attractive than others. Why are people being so sanctimonious?

VladmirsPoutine · 18/12/2021 17:44

I guess it depends but I am honestly speechless whenever I see a picture of Lori Harvey. I cannot understand how one person can be just so exceptionally beautiful.

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 18/12/2021 17:45

There are hundreds, thousands, millions of answers to this. Probably as many answers as there are women...

monicacat · 18/12/2021 17:46

Oh my God there are some miserable buggers on this thread. Beauty is an attitude to not try and ridicule people or put people down.

Barbarantia · 18/12/2021 17:47

The kids are on holiday again... Xmas Hmm

A580Hojas · 18/12/2021 17:47

I love a square or heart shaped face (probably because I have a round one with chins) and dark curly hair. I think Helena Bonham Carter, Minnie Driver, Geena Davis, Renee Russo and Julianne Moore are beautiful.

RosesAndHellebores · 18/12/2021 17:50

Body confidence, total cleanliness, good hair and teeth and smiling. Combine it with graciousness and kindness and it doesn't matter so much about the packaging.

Tillsforthrills · 18/12/2021 17:50

@monicacat

I agree, sanctimonious and nasty comments. Always amazes me people take the time to comment on threads that don’t interest them.

Jackofallsorts · 18/12/2021 17:50

Beauty is not an attitude. It's a physical manifestation which is subjective and personal. Beauty in nature and art is physical just like in people. It's very personal.

Incidentally, I read somewhere that a "feminine" face on a male with soft features is considered the most attractive to heterosexual women.

Hrpuffnstuff1 · 18/12/2021 17:51

Mrs hr is half Russian-Lithuanian, tall, slender, blonde, teeth, cheekbones.
However, her eyes, are that rich crystal blue.........

I would say all her family and friends are very attractive too.
The men are handsome too.

emuloc · 18/12/2021 17:51

A friendly smile , on any face.

furbabymama87 · 18/12/2021 17:54

Big eyes, high forehead, ski slope nose, full lips, straight teeth.

AngelinaFibres · 18/12/2021 18:01

Which era is this where women had big boobs, blonde hair , blue eyes. Are you a man

LoannaJumley · 18/12/2021 18:05

It's definitely symmetry of the face, good cheekbones, full lips.

The two women that come to mind for me as truly beautiful are Naga Munchetty and Helena Christiansen.

Jesusstolemyhotrod · 18/12/2021 18:16

I think these threads are always interesting for the sheer breadth of what we consider beautiful.

I get what op is saying about the busty blonde. I reckon late 80s early 90s.

But sometimes I find kind of supermodel faces beautiful. Sometimes I find kind faces beautiful.

Justheretoaskaquestion91 · 18/12/2021 18:27

I find fragile looking women beautiful eg Natalie Portman

Suzi888 · 18/12/2021 18:31

Confidence. I don’t think you necessarily have to be beautiful to be honest.

Raspberryrippleplease · 18/12/2021 18:36

A symmetrical face, long dark eyelashes, thick brown hair, tanned skin, slim, tall, clear skin, good teeth and most of all- confidence!

Peakedtoosoon · 18/12/2021 18:37

A smile and I do genuinely believe the adage about getting the face you deserve.

All the most attractive people I know are genuinely kind people with a zest for life.

You're not going to bin it by helping to bump it, by posting!

Having met a few models, they are not in real life that stunning. They are photogenic canvases for two dimensional pictures.

Snuggledupforwinter · 18/12/2021 20:58

Its not necessarily about symmetrical facial features or being photogenic. The most beautiful person I know is about 20 years older than me and has the most breathtaking beautiful smiley bluegreen eyes. Notice it every time!
