It simply means that someone you find unattractive, may be a beauty queen to someone else. Everyone has their own take on who's beautiful and who is not. Some guys only dig women with great figures, big breasts, long hair and a great azz. While others are attracted to full figured women or slender women. "It's all in the eyes of the beholder."

Means a person does not have to be attractive looking to one individual, but, is attractive looking to another, who is considered the beholder. A person can be view as unattractive on the surface but because of his/her caring nature, meaning the heart, can be viewed by another person, the beholder, as attractive. Just like the saying "beauty is skin deep, but, ugly is to the bone". Same thing, a person's outward appearance can be drop-dead georgeous, but if he/she has an uncaring disposition or conceited attitude, they can be ugly on the inside, meaning the heart because of their conceited attitude or uncaring nature. Also, the beholder is the person seeing other attributes of an individual that other people do see because the other people are looking at the outward appearance and not the whole person, i.e. good natured, good character, well-meaning, enjoy being with regardless of outward or physical attraction.

we each percieve a person differently than others do. translation: look not with your eyes but with your heart and see not the looks as the beauty but the stuff that makes up the person's beauty. Like for example, a person's personality, their lifestyles, their needs and wants, their desires, and yes their feelings too. Most people see the outer beauty, but very few see the inner beauty of a person.

OK, it's not just about people, let's say, I love old car's, not just any old car's, but one that not many other people liked...I would think it was beautifully, but others would not...so " Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"

It means that... For example, one person might thing that you are ugly and someone els might think that your hella fine. Its all about the person thats looking at you and what they consider good looking or watever it is.
