![]() ![]() Beauty isn’t as fleeting as one might think Studies repeatedly affirm that people who are thought of as ‘beautiful’ (attractive, confident or powerful are words that also apply) seem to have a competitive social edge in terms of getting better jobs or higher pay rates, as well as having choices in their partners.Īnd perhaps wanting the social advantages of being able to PRESENT or LOOK your best is likely one of the factors behind the growing SELFIE phenomenon.īut again, perceptions of beauty is quite unique to each and every individual – but some of these perceptions are widely shared, and science seems to back this up quite strongly. Some people just seem to look a bit more attractive to others, often for quite subtle reasons.īut when a person appears ‘more attractive’ to others, this can give them a competitive edge in certain environments. It’s not fair, but it does seem to be the reality for most cultures. Career, Relationships and Appearance are interlinked Perhaps SELFIE posting has amplified the fact that we are now more susceptible than ever to being influenced by the opinions of what our friends, peers & celebrities think of as being ‘beautiful’ – but if we look closer, we’ll find some stability in what people seem to rate as being ‘attractive’ – and it’s primarily linked with healthy-looking skin and balanced facial features. But I also know that the deeper brain processes that influence ‘what we think is beautiful’ are not so readily altered. But I know that this view of ‘what is beautiful’ may not be the case with others.Īs social creatures, I fully understand that we DO evaluate others based on our own perceptions of ‘beauty,’ as illusive as they are to define – and as susceptible to the latest social media trends as they may be in our digital worlds.Īnd I’m aware that Social Media & What is Considered Attractive MAY Change Significantly over Future Decades because we’re increasingly being influenced by our VISUAL social media & constant SELFIE sharing. It’s holistic, and physical is only part of it. In other words, my definition of BEAUTIFUL is a vibrant energy that a person has when they walk into, or across, a room. Often including a bit of character along the way. This ideally includes a reflection of their internal traits, integrated with their more visible traits. My definition of beauty involves the ‘vibe’ that a person seems to reflect. To me, beauty is a form of energy rather than a feature or physical attribute. If you ask 100 people what “beauty” is – or how they define it – chances are you’ll get 100 different answers. But is beauty really important – and if so, why? Even though our descriptions of what is ‘beautiful’ or ‘appealing’ vary slightly over time, perception remains relatively stable across different cultures. That being said our perceptions about “what makes a face beautiful” seems to remain unchanged. Larger upper lips and darker eyebrows are quite ‘on trend’ at the moment. Showing stability as much as they show potential for change. What’s interesting is that our perceptions of beauty are quite similar across different regions. It also seems these perceptions would be likely to change over time, as happens with other visual preferences such as body or facial piercings or tattoos. It makes sense, then, that our perceptions of facial attractiveness or “beauty” would vary between different cultures and regions. We do know that for every human culture and race, people have always held their own unique perception of ‘what makes a face or body “beautiful.” In the list of most beautiful women, according to this principle, there are also Beyoncé, Amber Heard and Kate Moss, among others.Δ So are our views about what is beautiful whimsical, superficial and fleeting or do our interpretations of beauty stem from deeper drives? According to De Silva, the American model, television personality, founder and creator director of clothing line “Guest In Residence” obtained a 94.35% accuracy, as the surgeon pointed out on his Instagram profile. In the case of women, it is Gigi Hadid -although initially it was Amber Heard- who is the one that comes closest to that “perfect” proportion of the Greek imagination. Gigi Hadid tops the list of the most beautiful women The protagonist of Twilight and Batman showed an accuracy of 92.15% in the golden ratio, compared to 88.96% for Beckham or 90.51% for Pitt. But the one that comes closest to these proportions is Robert Pattinson. Among the list of most handsome men, according to this theory, are Brad Pitt and David Beckham, among others. A post shared by UK Facial Plastic Surgeon expert, through an algorithm, wanted to know which current famous women and men have the proportions that the Greeks considered perfect. ![]()
