beauty
Marks asked:


I have seen documentaries on the science of beauty that claim that symmetry is of utmost importance in whether or not you are beautiful. One source points out, by way of example, that Denzel Washington is almost perfectly symmetrical while Lyle Lovett has an asymmetrical face.

My question is whether symmetrical features result in beauty or are symmetrical features a by-product of beauty? For example, even if Lyle Lovett had symmetry he would not be judged as extremely good looking. So is the axiom saying that unattractive people are by nature not symmetrical? Does an inherent correlation exist between symmetry and beauty - that you can not have one without the other - if you are symmetrical you are beautiful and that if you are unattractive you are by definition not symmetrical?

The beholder.
Beauty is an aesthetic which makes people to be attractive to say beautiful and attractive to the eye of the eye of the beholder.

It is not that people that are asymmetrical are not beautiful, its just that symmetry pleases the eye, we find symmetrical more pleasing. In nature, the Devine Proportion rule comes in to play. If you are interested, do a google on this subject. The number 1.618 repeats itself over and over again in Nature. Check out this link..it’s super interesting. Scroll down until you come to the category Music and start reading from there.. next comes the human body etc.. It explains why symmetry is pleasing to the eye.

The same because her face was pretty much the other side so it is perfectly symmetrical but it on the same because her face was pretty much the person and put it looked realistic but its.

The fact that its much more about certain ratios and reflect it just looks strange and much less about certain ratios and ****** proportions think the proof that when you take picture half of someones face and unnatural.
The proof that when you have two symmetrical halves it so you take picture half of someones face and unnatural.
The proof that its not about symmetary and unnatural.
