We're talking abt looks here, I thought it would be interesting to see what features of a person the sabla members find as beautiful.

Beauty standards around the world :~

Caucasion:~ The 'Barbie" look, blonde hair, blue eyes, model stick, very tall. ;)

Japan:~ Soft skin, a body massage of warm milk is the rage here.

China:~ Longer legs. Women go through painful ways of getting taller (some few cm)

Sahara:~ The bigger the better, if she does not have 12 rows of fat around her belly she is unfit for marriage! :D

Senegal:~ A bride-to-be is fed rich puddings and creams a week before her wedding to fill out her hips (the bigger the better).

New Guinea:~ Droopy breasts are the hottest thing going! :sweat: No underbras here, women attach ropes to their breasts as soon as they start forming.

Argentina:~ Long, blonde hair. :color:

South America:~ Bum jobs (plastic surgery) are done here, big bums are wanted here to show off ;) and body shaping.

Iran:~ Nose jobs are the rage here, girls as young as 17 go for nose jobs. :eek:

Arabia:~ Waxing :eyes: most important session prior to a girls wedding day.

India:~ Simplicity and nose piercing! :kewl:

Jamaica:~ A smile and high cheekbones :) .

Korea and Italy:~ Eye jobs are done here. 7% of S.Koreans have had double eyep-lid surgery, to emphasize upper lid creases . Italian women are equally fixated on reshaping their eyes, requesting an upward slant.

L.A and France:~ Full lips are an-all age obsession here.



When we look at these beauty standards around the world we see that we created what we see as beautiful, beauty is what WE define as beautiful, it is whatever WE say it is, whatever OUR culture says it is. While some cultures find thin women beautiful, others want big babes. In some cultures the hottest chicks are bold, while others the longer the hair the better.

Bottom line: We are ALL beautiful. Somewhere around the world your looks will be considered to be beautiful. Be happy with your features :), they are what make life interesting!

~ Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder~


So what features of a person do you the sabla members find as beautiful :) ? Or (if it's easier) which celebrity would you give a perfect ten ;) the most beautiful? Which of their features makes you find them beautiful? :)

You're right you know, everyone has different ideas about what is beautiful and what isn't.

I can't really say exactly what I find beautiful, since many things are! You can't just choose a specific feature, because it'll have to go with the overall look..

All I can say is, I like big eyes! ;)

I have no set formula of what I deem as beautiful, but there is one overriding characteristic that is an essential: the eyes.
It doesnt matter what colour or shape or size they are, every pair says something about the person. Some say so much you cannot help but find that person beautiful, whilst others can have the opposite effect.

I would never classify anyone as ugly however, because as stated above, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what I might not find attractive, someone else will.

Or (if it's easier) which celebrity would you give a perfect ten the most beautiful?

No celebrity gets a 10 from me. Someone with sharp wit, exceptional intellect and great wisdom will get a 10. Captivating eyes helps too.

The hands. I don't know why but I always look at a person's hands.........they can be so expressive.

Halle Berry: Complexion and smile.
Jennifer Lopez: Face.


Shino, you got it right about Ash's eyes!

Beauty lies in thy soul.

There is no person beautiful in this world unless they are beautiful from the inside.

Beauty is skin deep....


...but ugly goes to the bone :D




Actually, I don't really have a "type". It either clicks or it doesn't. But if you forced me into a corner and asked me to pick, I'd say slim, soft light brown skin, black hair and probably Arab or South or East Asian. But who cares eh?

I always go for the eyes i love deep dark eyes like the indian actresses !

the actress that i'd give a perfect 10 is most defintly ANGELINA JOLIE!!!!! if i was a guy i'd defenitly ask her out ! everything about angelina amazes me her looks her body how shes proud of her sexuality everything about her is just great her personality is what makes her even more beautiful i feel as she grows older she grows to be a more beautiful woman !

I also like Halle berry and i give her 10/10 she's got the body the looks everything !

If you're beautiful from the heart, then it will show in your physical features....

When you're sad you dont look beautiful, do you?
