Beauty. Today’s Demotivational Thought

Posted by thebarefoot on March 6, 2008

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

This lovely phrase didn’t make the final cut for 33 Annoying Expression that Killed our Conversation, but it’s one very close to “There’s no accounting for taste,” to which I did pay homage. An interesting fact is the human brain is hard-wired for beauty. Studies show that, above all else, humans love symmetry.

One experiment had people rate attractiveness based on photos of faces. The one consistent factor of the pictures rated as beautiful was they had nearly symmetrical features. Makes you re-think the old, “There’s someone for everyone,” fallacy, doesn’t it?
