What makes someone beautiful?

Skip to navigation

What makes someone beautiful? Is beauty really all about having a nice face, or is it a whole load of factors combined?

Pretty cool

Is it better to be good looking than to be interesting? Would you rather that everybody thought you were cool, or everybody thought you were gorgeous?

In your face

Who do you know that you consider to be really beautiful? What makes them beautiful? Is it only their features?

Can good looking people with a bad attitude seem not so good looking after all?

Personality rules

Sometimes people who are less obviously good looking can be seen as beautiful because of the way they carry themselves or their positive outlook.

Can brains make up for not having amazing looks? Or can being brainy make you seem beautiful?

We all love a laugh - are you more likely to fancy someone who can make you laugh over someone who is good looking?

I like it when people are caring, friendly and happy and also when they don't take themselves to seriously because it's really what's on the inside that counts most.
