“beauty is subjective”
Daas Torah: “When the Torah describes some people as beautiful, it has meaning. Obviously, there is objective beauty.”
good point. So I guess there is some objectivity involved, but I think there is also a lot of subjectivity.
I think there are some people who are objectively beautiful (everyone or almost everyone would think they are beautiful), but with a lot of people, it’s more subjective, and some will think they are attractive and some won’t.
I would have thought that there are some people who are objectively ugly, but most people get married anyhow, so clearly someone finds them attractive.(the only people who might not be able to get married because of their looks are people who are disfigured, but that is a completely different category).
