what is the relationship between beauty and love?

Well, this is just my opinion:\n\nThere are different forms of love - both the love you have for your family and the initmate love you share with a significant other.  When it comes to the love of the significant other there must be some attraction, but not necessarily beauty.\n\nIf a person is really beautiful and you lust after them because of it, that's not really love, although of course you can truly love someone that is a true beauty, just it usually always starts with lust and desire.\n\nTrue love makes a person you love more beautiful.  They can be overweight, have a funky nose, or body part, and they look truly beautiful anyway.  That's what makes love so beautiful.  You overlook the persons physical and personality short comings to see their beauty - inside and out.

Real Beauty is seen from within! You may like or appreciate what you see physically in a person but you will love what is in the core of that person.

Love = the person loves someone for who they are, for the ideals, for the time they have had with and been enriched. The love is evergoing and it grows stronger.\n\nLove lasts longer than lust if it is true love.\n\nLust = is more to do with sex appeal, and when fulfilled in a moment of a minute or hour, it is lost. It is all about what the eyes sees from the outer not the inner of the person they are staring into or talking to.

This is a tougher question to answer than it seems.  First, many studies have shown that men are more visually affected when it comes to romance than women.  However, without a doubt, physical attraction does play a role for both in the initial encounter.  However, if physical attraction is the only aspect of the relationship, it is doomed to failure.  As it takes awhile for persons to learn about the inner qualities of other persons, that aspect takes a deeper meaning only as the relationship developes.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps you are attracted to something you consider beautiful, but beauty that you see is only skin deep. You need to see the true inner beauty, which you can only see by talking to and getting to know someone....

I think this holds true for men and women alike...\n\nthe sad part of the answer is our physical appearance is what gets the attention of a person to start with upon first notice...at least in MOST cases.  BUT...the inner you, your soul and whole being...that is where we really fall in love.\n\nThink about a pretty girl...that has a really BAD personality --- a stuck up B!+C# is something she is often called.  A buff guy that pushes others around, acts super macho and stuck on himself --- a big dumb jerk.\n\nThe average looking guy/girl ...strong in character and personality.  The more you know them, the more they shine.  A description of someone that is probably liked by most they come in contact with.  Their qualities are enhancements or upgrades to their OUTER being from within.  In theory, that part of them should be there forever.  Looks fade...the inner beauty will always be there.\n\nThose with less than super models have to find a way to be NOTICED first... so the beauty inside can close the deal.\n\nHonest feelings from the average guy...with the romantic...soul searching heart.

Based on what I think love is ... I think it's a connection between both.\n\nTrue Love ....\n\nIt's as mysterious as the stars it was written on, as elusive. It is everything it's hyped about to be. It's worth taking every risk, it's worth fighting for, and the problem is if you don't risk all then you risk even more. Love is kind of an elixir that lures us out of reality and into the realm of fantasy. It's like a drug creating an altered state of consciousness.\n\nLove is the moment when an unfavorable act becomes favorable, when you make excuses for some one else's mistakes, when you learn to tolerate, when you learn acceptance, when sacrificing becomes the beauty of life. \n\nIt's the courage to tell the truth especially when you believe its unspeakable.\n\nIt's the time when seeing some one, being seen by some one and thinking about some one feels good, when you learn to find happiness in the smallest of moments.\n\nThat's love--when you learn to put down your ego and love some one more than that.\n\nLove is forgetting your self and remembering some one else. \n\nLove is choosing your partner exactly as he is, and supporting him in his choices. It's honoring your partner's truth and wanting best for him.\n\nIt's not controlling or possessing but rather respecting and trusting.\n\nIt does not mean owning some one, getting some one, rather it means being happy in your loved one's happiness.\n\nLove means living without judgments. It means treasuring your beloved and never taking him for granted. \n\nLove means being able to forgive and learning to give more then you get. It means reaching out when you don't want to, communicating rather than assuming and asking questions rather than jumping to conclusions.\n\nIt means working things out rather than fighting, fighting rather than leaving, and staying through the hurts and disappointments, knowing that through commitment all can be healed. \n\nFalling in love is like being enveloped in a magical cloud. The air feels fresher, the flowers smell sweeter, food tastes more delectable, and the stars shine more brightly at night. You feel light and lofty as though you are floating through life, and your problems and challenges suddenly seem insignificant and easily surmountable. Your body feels alive, your skin tingles and you awaken in the morning with a smile on your face. You are suspended in a state of supreme delight.\n\nLove is a feeling and an action that arises from the most primal place within us. Making a relationship however, is a process that is learned. A relationship is the vessel that carries the precious cargo of love through time.\n\nRelationships are like a precious antique lamp; it takes a little polish and some effort to restore it to its valuable condition. A relationships love and luster will only improve with age if you continually give it the care that keeps it beautiful. But once you uncover its essential beauty it will bring you joy for years to come.\n\nAfter having said all this I want to say that you have to make the decision on your own, on one hand love is magic, on the other it's time tested relationship worked hard and furiously at.

It is up to your acceptance of the sayings of guys. Beauty is what you feel personally and not as told by some one else. What looks beautiful to you may not be the beauty for some other person. Similary, what some one else feels as beautiful, that may not look beautiful to you. So, the yard stick of beauty is different for different persons.

good question.look DO NOT matter in the sense that if you fall in love with someone you're only going to have eyes for them anyway.looks DO matter in the sense that when you fall in love and you only have eyes for them that you realize they're total eye candy! :p  you have to realize, you might be a perfectionist..there is someone out there for everyone as everyone in the world has different tastes..someone might have a thing for tattoos, or scars, another for smooth perfect skin..someone else might go for short guys, another for super-tall.  you're unique-and that's why someone will fall for you. all YOU have to do is enjoy it.\n\nhowever, the key point here that i'm sensing is that you're not loving yourself-if you think you're slightly overweight-and this is one of the things you mention bout your whole self in two lines, then i'm guessing that youre probably weighing yourself down with guilt and negativitiy as well.  could that be stopping you from going out and living a better life?  if so, just see if you can lose that bit of weight you think makes you look bad..you will feel so much better-emotionally, and physically.\n\ngood luck.

Its hard to explain but I will try.  You feel things with your heart, you do things because your heart tells you to and it doesn't matter what your eyes actually see.  Like a person who only likes beautiful people goes blind, then falls in love with someone they would have never looked twice at before, they fall in love with the REAL person and not the looks.

its a website\nhttp://www.straightupbeautiful.com\n\n:)\n\nBeauty involves the cognition of objects as having a balance and harmony with nature, which elicits in the viewer a sense and experience of attraction, affection, and pleasure. An "object of beauty" is anything in the perceived world which reveals a personally meaningful aspect of "natural beauty". The presence of the self in any human context means that beauty is naturally based on its human meaning, wherein human beauty is often the dominant aspect of a greater natural beauty.\n\nThe earliest theory of beauty can be found in the works of ancient Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period, such as Pythagoras. The extant writings attributed to Pythagoras reveal that the Pythagorean school, if not Pythagoras himself, saw a strong connection between mathematics and beauty. In particular, they noted that objects proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractive. Some modern research seems to confirm this, in that people whose facial features are symmetric and proportioned according the golden ratio are consistently ranked as more attractive than those whose faces are not.\n\nAccording to an ancient Indian definition, the beautiful is that which from moment to moment is always new. That is to say, it removes the mind from the world in which things grow old. But considering that the visual system allows us to see by extracting the stable, rather than changing, features of the environment on a momentary basis, this ancient definition seems hard to support.\n\nDifferent cultures have deified beauty, typically in female forms. Here is a list of the goddesses of beauty in four different mythologies.\n\nAphrodite - Greek mythology \nFreya - Norse Mythology \nLakshmi - Hindu mythology \nVenus - Roman mythology \n \nLolitaBeauty contests claim to be able to judge beauty. The millihelen is sometimes jokingly defined as the scientific unit of human beauty. This derives from the legend of Helen of Troy as presented in Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, in which her beauty was said to have launched a thousand ships. The millihelen is therefore the degree of beauty that can launch one ship.\n\nThe foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists set the standard for male beauty in Western Civilization. The ideal Roman is the more masculine form of pure male beauty. He is ideally defined (very similar to today's pure definition of a Classic male beauty or masculinity today would be defined as: larger (ie. taller over 6',) far more muscular, long legged, with a full head of thick hair, a high and wide forehead - sign of intelligence, wide set eyes, a strong browline, a strong perfect nose and profile relationship, a smaller mouth, and a strong jaw line. These factors in combination would, as it does today, result in an impressive "grand" look of pure handsome masculinity.

The human response of love and of attraction is partly based on a persons appearance and health.  Most of what is considered attractive or beautiful is also biologically an advantage.\n\nCheck out this page for more:\nhttp://www.healthandage.com/default.cfm?curr_navi=02&curr_content=02&spr=en&framedef=1&curr_paramlist=healthandage;2617;2;haa_online_from;2;1;3;-;dsp_tooldetail
