Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but biologically speaking human beings are attracted to anything that has or closely resembles the golden ratio. All handsome men, and beautiful women regardless of ethnicity usually have these ratios. The golden ratio is also seen in all flowers, patterns on butterfly wings, in the Parthenon, etc.
This website explains it all.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No one sets a standard, but people do tend to like the same things. Or because someone tells us something is beatiful many may believe that, but there is no standard really.

We define things beautiful or ugly i guess because of a power thing i guess beautiful people at the top and ugly at the bottom...
or the other way around depending on how you view it.
Idrk who sets the standards just that they are there.

That's a very good question! I guess we set yhe standards, but if you're easily influencened by others, then they set the standard. I personally think beauty is in te eye of the beholder

We CAn set our own standards but media plays such a huge role nowadays. We all fall for what the meia thinks is pretty - anorexic girls, fake tans, etc.

the media to a large extent and then our families of origin and experiences from our childhood. Psychologists have found that little boys and little girls grow up to be attracted to people who look somewhat "familiar" to them, so we might be attracted to someone who resembles a relative or the girlfriend of an older brother that we remember as a child, or a babysitter that was really nice to us.

Each person actually has their own intuitive standard but
When they spot someone or something else they like ,
They become like sheep and that one becomes the standard setter for that group.

i watched a show on this...and it says we find beauty in symmetry...so if a persons facial features are perfectly symetrical we are more likely to find them beautiful
