| After viewing some posts about "good looks" and the "look do/don't matter" department, a lot of people cite certain pop cultural celebrities as an example.
I just wanted to post a thread about MY version of good looks from the celebrity world and they are just not considered 'the norm' or are not really talked about in this vein.
Maybe then a lot of people can sort of just get off this bandwagon about what is deemed beautiful or handsome - the people below all have appeal, ranging from sex appeal to just charismatic. This is what makes them beautiful.
You will see how subjective it can be  google the ones you don't know.
Men:
Allan Rickman
Samuel L. Jackson
Adrian Brody
Elijah Wood
Women:
Ellen Barkin
Angela Basset
Sarah Jessica Parker
Kate Blanchett
I can go on and on tho'.
Now - if you really really look at these people - you will see 'aesthetic flaws'. Take your pick. I am an artist and I study people's faces. 99% of people called "beautiful" in both the modeling/celebrity world and the real world - ARE "aesthetically/symmetrically" FLAWED!
There are very few celebrities that are deemed, both artistically and even scientifically as being "perfectly symmetrical" when it comes to their facial structure and body shape. Forehead/cheekbones/jawline, etc all matching in harmony - very few people exist like that. (I think Halle Berry might be one of them, but that's just imo..lol)
But it has nothing to do with what is 'beauty' but more along the lines science mapping out features and comparing it to biological factors based on preexisting laws of attraction. Which is NOT an absolute. I think Naveen Andrews is hot and George Clooney - not. (don't kill me george girls, just making a point)
The thing is, someone puts a label on what is considered as being desirable and that thought catches hold and next thing you know - someone like a Paris Hilton is being labeled "a beauty" when she HAS flaws. Flaws that photoshop airbrushing just won't hide! Same thing with the Brad Pitt's and that (imo) skanky Matthew McConaughy's and the Carmen Elektra's, etc etc etc.
Looks do matter.
What matters is what LOOK it is YOU LIKE!
Some of it is your own genetic "programming" -or just your "thing" and some of it is what is going on inside that person - that you are picking up on. Most of the people I found myself attracted to - platonic and romantically - all have/had a kind of commonality, a sort of 6 degree of separation as it were. Look at your own life and friends and you will see it. What I consider hot is so varied but if I dig a little more - I see or notice how there are aspects in their personality or attitudes that I either have myself, or are within my friends/family that I resonate with.
Like attracts like - even if on the surface - the person looks physically your opposite!.
So please people!!!!!!!! in real life - QUIT thinking looks don't matter or that you're looks don't matter. Don't call somebody shallow just because they're buying into what the media or Hollywood is brainwashing them into - and the reverse, don't think just because your current look isn't in vogue for the Oscar's this year - that you're not timeless in your own right.
There is no such thing as true ugly unless you're just some twisted, abusive, manipulative sadist piece of shit who likes being that way and won't change.
Get some backbone next time you look in the mirror what don't you!
Just don't turn into a narcissist
I'm done ranting.
