Great question
My answer is though that Leonardo da Vinci and many others are convinced that there is a 'Golden Ratio' that can be applied to all beauty, whether it is in nature, or in a human being ...There is a symetry that people look for subconsiously that helps the world define a beautiful person irrespecive of colour or type

People are shallow, and do only care about attractiveness and wealth. However, this saying can have multiple uses. Statistically speaking, most of today's people consider beauty to be what is deemed by society as being "what someone should have from their chosen mate". These day's Advertising is our babysitter while we grow up, and TV tells us how we need to live. Nothing is ever good enough for us, and we always strive for more Crap, to fill our lives with. I could go on and on about reasons why they are wrong. But what it all comes down to, is what you think it means. The fact that it was on TV, already says something about the shows opinion. If you understand the saying, and know why it works, then you probably shouldn't care what some retard on TV says. You don't know that they aren't getting paid by an advertising company, to make you feel guilty and watch their TV show. Or maybe they are making an outrageous claim that this quote isn't true, in order to make you watch their show... You never know them. Nor, philosophically, do you ever know anything...

Generally speaking I do agree with that.
Many could state universal markers of beauty - but even if 99 out of 100 stated the same markers...wouldn't that still be in the eye of the beholder?..yup to me it would.

I am not sure about universal, certainly there are cultural norms. But truely I think that it is in the eye of the beholder, though sometimes the beholder is overly enfluenced by his/her surrounding culture/peers/advertising. I find it interesting that generally the more intellectual a person is the more ecclectic their tastes are....a fact I really enjoy.
Just think, if we all wanted the same thing, very very few of us would be happy. Personally I don't think I could ever fall for one of the "perfect people" of which our culture is so fond. I like my men and my art just a bit different than what is generally expected, they are always so much more interesting.

yes because each person views beauty differently. some people see beauty as character and traits a person holds. others only see physical beauty. To some, God is the only beholder of beauty. To others, we are the beholders.

Yes, very much so. What is universally beautiful is love and kindness. It shines through and can make the most unattractive person seem more beautiful.

Yes, I do believe.
What seem beautiful to me, could seems ugly to another person. The society has taught us how a beauty person has to be, but the concept changes from a person to another one.
I really think Orlando Bloom is hot. My best girlfriend says he's ugly and bored.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld. ...
