[quote=Anonymous]It's obviously subjective, but also: you can check some boxes and not others and still be attractive.

Like there are people with perfectly symmetrical faces and desirable features (high foreheads, large eyes, strong bone structure, etc.) plus long glossy health, plus perfectly proportioned bodies, plus great skin tone, plus a good sense of style. But they are incredibly rare. Think of the most attractive person you've known in real life. Do they check all these boxes? Also, how old were they? Will they continue to check all boxes when they are 40 or 50 (even with intervention)? It's a tiny percentage of the population for whom this is true.

So among the rest of the population, it's a question of whether they tick enough boxes to tip the scales. This is why so many women fixate on weight, because it feels like the factor that is easiest to change and thus to push someone from okay to pretty. But I personally think this is wrong, and that most women would do better to focus their energy on having really good hair, learning how to dress the body they already have in the most flattering way, fixing/whitening teeth, investing in good skincare, etc.

This is why rich people seem to be more attractive than non-rich people, on average. They aren't actually more naturally attractive (many wealthy people are well below average in terms of natural beauty), but they can go all in on teeth, skin, hair, fashion, and to some extent, weight. It's amazing how much these factors will change you from "fine" to "attractive". Especially as you age. [/quote]
