Are men and women equally beautiful?

[paarsurrey]

Your thoughts?

 

[Iti oj]

Idk woman look amazing even other woman think so.

 

[Breathe]

I wouldn't personally think so; I think women are more... well, aesthetically pleasing.

 

[sandandfoam]

Nope. There's nothing at all easy on the eye about fellas.

 

[Sunstone]

Overall, yes. Men and women are equally beautiful.

 

[Quintessence]

In the eyes of the universe, yes. In the eyes of humans that like to slap subjective value judgements on things as if they were some sort of absolute fact, no.

 

[paarsurrey]

I think not all are equally beautiful or intelligent men or women; there is always a difference from individual to individual.

You mean to tell me a balding middle aged man with a beer belly in speedos, holding a can of beer scratching his hairy nipple isn't beautiful? ...

Well said good point,

 

[Shuddhasattva]

Of course [some] men have difficulty acknowledging the beauty of the male body. Unfortunately, our cultural obsession with the female body, often in poor taste, has also infected women.

Whether evolution has been as kind to our (ap)perceptions as it has been to our bodies is another matter.

Your thoughts?

I like women more. Might be biased, though, since I tend to like women more in general .

EDIT:

Of course [some] men have difficulty acknowledging the beauty of the male body. Unfortunately, our cultural obsession with the female body, often in poor taste, has also infected women.

I would say that both of these are very unfortunate.

In ancient Greece men were viewed as more beautiful. Nowadays we often view women as the more beautiful sex. Granted women in today's society put on more makeup, hairspray, etc., but when you strip all that away, women and men are equally beautiful.

Yes, they're equally beautiful.

Didnt know that about ancient Greece. I suppose that means that which sex is generally considered more beautiful is a cultural thing.

 

[Shuddhasattva]

Exactly.

 

[Skwim]

Are men and women equally beautiful?

Good question.

@Shuddhasattva

You have a point.

There are males in animals more beautiful than the females in the eyes of the humans generally, in my opinion.

A lion,a peacock, a rooster etc

 

[Shuddhasattva]

Yes, quite true, and in some societies, it is the males who 'play dress up' and focus on accentuating their natural beauty.

I'd really love to see more balance in our social constructs of maleness and femaleness, more honesty with regards to their projection from biological gender.

Ooey no!

But this is :drool:

And this

Um... I'll be right back...

 

[InfidelRiot]

Even as a gay man, I still recognize a beautiful woman. The only difference between me and a heterosexual male is that I am not sexually attracted to the women I find beautiful.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

Absolutely. Men and women overall are equally beautiful and easy on the eyes.
