It means love is blind. My husband thinks I am beautiful (he calls me pretty lady) and I am not what the world calls beautiful. He is the beholder in this situation and in his eyes (the only person who really matters) I am beautiful. Basically it means that everyone has a beutfull side and the person who is with that person finds what is nice about them even though the whole world may disagree. A person could have no legs and no arms but their lover finds them beutifull in their own way. it means that beauty is subjective, that whether something is beautiful or not is up to the individual person, or the one doing the looking. I believe it means that you may see something or someone as beautiful or handsome but someone else may not.
The beholder is the one beholding. Take modern art for example. I think it looks like a six year old swallowed paint and puked it back up in a canvas. But there are a lot of people out there who consider it great art that shows the depth of the artist. So pretty mutch we are all entitled to our own opinion. Though your belief that beauty is part the opinion of the person is true, that phrase actually means that Beauty is subjective.
Beauty is an image that is pleasing to the eye. I.E. If an individual doesn't like the color blue VanGoh's "Starry Night" isn't exactly an attractive piece of art.
The phrase is most commonly used to ex plane off individuals taste in body types. Tall, short, blonde, redhead, brunette, fat, thin, big chest, small chest, hard bodied, soft bodied, facial hair or clean shaven.
Basically the only real universal attractive point is good personal hygiene. No matter what you look like, if you smell good, you are someones ideal in looks. Think it means u should neva let sóne degrade your looks by telling u that u are not beautiful.Be proud of how beautiful u are coz bottom line,U are beautiful. Beauty is something that we perceive. The same sere desert can be seen as desolation itself by one, and as stark beauty by another. Which is right? Maybe they both are. It means an ugly person can be beautiful to another ugly person. THAT IF U THINIK U IS BEAUTIFUL THEN U ARE BEAUTIFUL AND PEOLPE SHOULDN'T GOING WITH U 4 HOW U LOOK THEY SHUOLD GO WITH U CAUSE OF HOW U ACT Beauty, as well as tastes in food and clothes, is subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it means there is not any definition for the beauty. It depends on many differences of points of views, culture, gender, age, race...
So there is also no definition for the opposite of beauty. It means the person doing the viewing (the beholder) will decided for themselves whether or not the person or thing in question is beautiful.
In my opinion a twenty year old woman may be beautiful but it is an accident of nature. However, when that woman has matured and is two or three times that age her beauty will be the result of a lot of work. I have two friends, both over 60 and both beautiful. They are both "class acts" and it is no accident that they are. I believe that it means, Beauty is Deep within the Spirit of the Sole, and your Beauty will shine in all you do and say...
