"Love between the ugly, is the most beautiful love of all"
. . . that's a line from a Todd Rundgren song and i think it says it all.
I believe beauty comes from within - it's the subtle things you do with what you have physically that are appreciated in the ways your friend mentioned.
We are all beautiful in some sense and i think you'll find that when you get up close to someone who is overtly beautiful in the classic physical sense, you realise little flaws or imperfections that render that person more ordinary.

Of course everyone is beautiful in their own way, but there is a measure of beauty called the Golden Ratio, which is the ratio of 1 to 1.618. It has been found in many things that are widely perceived as beautiful ever since it was discovered. It is seen in nature, in things like sunflowers, leaves and stems, snails, insects. It has also been used by loads of artists, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelango.
In regards to human beauty, someone who is symmetrical is always considered physically beautiful. For example:
-The length of the head is 1, the distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head is 1.618.
-The distance between the navel and the top of the head is 1.618, and the distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head is 1.
- The length of the face is 1.618, the width of the face is 1.
-The distance between the lips and where the eyebrows meet is 1.618, the length of the nose is 1.
- The distance between pupils is 1.618, the distance between eyebrows is 1
etc etc.
Interesting stuff. Google it there's loads of info on it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are some things that it seems most men think are physically beautiful. The hollywood figure. But there is no standard criteria that determines the beauty of a woman.

Human beings tend to like faces that resemble babies' faces, with big eyes and small chins. Men across all cultures like women with a waist to hip ratio of .7. So, there are standards of beauty. However, your friend's statement was really important, so it's an okay thing to say.

Helen of Troy was the face that launched a thousand ships ergo the unit of beauty should be the millihelen - the power to launch one ship

As you grow older and through experience you would realize that people's standards are way to high and superficial. True beauty lies within.
I'm guessing that these standards your talking about are looks.

The only scientific study I can remember is that people like symmetrical faces, other than that, since we all have different personalities, there is no set criterion. "One man`s meat is another man`s poison"
