How come every human is not equally beautiful.
Please don't say we are all beautiful, I know that inside is what counts, but Im just talking about outer beauty.

god aside, unattractive people have their advantages. isolation from popular culture can cause them to study more, or develop an eating disorder.
at the risk of sounding like an after school special, everyone is unique in their own way.

the taxicab messiah gives an amazing answer to this question.
Been unattractive could have serious advantages and really could make a person deeper and more spiritual than beautiful people who never experience rejection or isolation.
Many of the greatest thinkers, composers and artists like vincent van gogh or Leonardo da vinci where artists that had been rejected or felt rejected by society.
The deph and lessons one can learn from feeling isolated are worth more than any beauty in the world.
The beauty begins to be created inside and one actually starts to think like the creator himself.
Outer beauty vanishes with the years, but the beauty created in your mind lasts an eternety.
In the end "all is vanity". One must get as close to Jehovah God as one possibly can. Been unattractive and outcasted or rejected can make you achieve or create things that you wouldn't have done otherwise, it can also make you come closer to God.

Because attractiveness is a totally human ideal, not an ideal of God. Jesus himself was not attractive. If you read the description of Him in the Bible, He was pretty, well...plain. Totally unremarkable in appearance, and by today's standards, He'd have been completely overlooked.
And to correct you, God's creation WAS perfect, but not by appearance. God didn't make man beautiful or not beautiful. Again, it was man who came up with the concept of beauty. He did however make man pure and sinless. It was man who chose to sin and made mankind imperfect by doing so.
In God's eyes, his children are all beautiful but only in the respect that a Father thinks his child is beautiful.
Beauty as man sees it is a basis to base how a person is judged and thus how they are treated and valued. Someone who is deemed unattractive by man is deemed to be worth less (or just plain worthless) than someone considered attractive.
This is the evil of sin perverting what is righteous. What is righteous is to judge someone's worth on the life they lead, the good works they do for their fellow man. In God's eyes, and how it should be in the eyes of man, someone like Angelina Jolie who is physically attractive, but moreso who does many good works for her fellow man would be considered a good and worthy person while someone like, say Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton who take their wealth and only do for themselves would be considered lowly and worthless.
Once upon a time mankind saw beauty in good and not in the physical because then mankind knew that the body rotted away and would cease to be, but how a person led their life would live on forever. This is and should today be true beauty. But mankind now has forsaken their souls for the physical...what their five primitive senses tells them is good and not what their soul tells them is good. Also, mankind has become even more sheep-like in past decades than ever in history. We get our ideals of beauty from magazines, television, movies, other people saying "this is what is beautiful, and you are wrong if you feel otherwise". Children from young ages are taught that if you don't look such a way you are not "beautiful". Mankind has lost its ability to see things for itself.
I know I've rambled, but I hope somewhere in all that is an answer to your question. *LOL*

Why do you think that your guidelines of what is and isn't "unattractive" is the same as God's?
To those that see only beauty as something skin deep - there is no possiblity of really giving an answer in a manner that would fit within such a form as Yahoo Answers.

Sin makes people unattractive regardless of what they look like on the outside. The physically most beautiful women in the world can appear ugly if she has an ugly spirit within her and many beautiful women appear ugly to the discerning eye. The state of a person's soul is reflected in a person's physical appearance---you cannot separate body from soul and spirit. the three are joined together to make who you are. The spirit is unchangeable, but the soul can be purified, which allows the true beauty of the spirit to shine forth. A spirit that shines will keep out wicked spirits that corrupt.

There is a theory that we all choose the body and the surroundings before we enter this planet. So,every person gets the body they chose.
Also,how would you know what unattractive is if there would be only attractive people. Same goes for all the other things like happy/sad etc...

You are talking about geometry, which is basically what humans find beautiful. A geometrical face, body etc in balance is beautiful to us. To God, beauty is an entirely different thing. To quote a movie, "he loves wondrous variety"

Creation was perfect, but then mankind sinned & imperfection set in so know mankind sets beauty as an external judge & not internal.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are no unattractive people.
