This is my definition. I totally agree with it.
According to God a beautiful woman is anyone who worships Him in spirit and truth. He does NOT look at the outward appearance! Read in the Bible at 1st Samuel chapter 16, verse 7; and Matthew chapter 22, verse 16.
Also read:
Proverbs chapter 31,verses10 through 31
John chapter 4,verses 23,24
1st letter to Timothy chapter 3,verse 11
Acts chapter 10, verses 34 and 35

Beauty is an emotional response prompted by the recognition of something as being generally well-suited to its function, without being machined in precise detail to the featureless pinnacle of optimality for that function.
When men look at women, for example, they subconsciously evalute them as mates and as mothers to their children, and a woman's body shape and muscle tone, the configuration of her breasts and hips, are relevant considerations.
Nonetheless, a man doesn't want a Standard Woman, not even if the Standard is physically flawless. Neither does a man want a woman having the personality of an android - a female "Data" who can have babies. Personality is imperfection, from the perspective of fulfilling function, but it is also spice. Working through a woman's personality to fulfill her function and his purpose (raising a family) is a challenge, the solving of which gives a man the fun that perfection alone could not do.
Still, there's only so much that personality can do with respect to beautifying perfection. I'm sure that the Japanese philosophers would agree that TOO MUCH imperfection ruins the whole. And a little of certain imperfections is as bad as a lot of certain others - a boat with a bite out of the wale is better than a boat with a hole below the waterline.

mm thats a hard one. Beauty in my opinion , is something that wen u see the first time u think 'wow' because it really takes ur breath away. Like a perfect raindrop on a green leaf or an orange purple sunset. Things like that should be regarded as beautiful. As for people beauty,, mmm thats kind of difficult nowdays, since beauty these days is all fake, there is no more natural beauty its all makeup and plastic surgery.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is not a 'trait' to be held by the object, but rather an 'appreciation' in the mind of the observer. As such, there is no objective description of beauty.
Remember - nothing is beautiful to everyone, but everyone is beautiful to someone.

Imperfection. There is a Japanese philosophy about this called Wabi-Sabi. Beauty is found in imperfection.

beauty is an opinion.
if it was a set rule or code to follow it wouldn't be beautiful anymore. it would be standard, and nothing standard my darling, has any beauty, because it has no opinion.

beauty is the combinations of slight imperfections in a person that make that person appear perfect to someone else. :-)
