being ugly is an opinion that is completely perspective
No it isn't! This person right here is a prime example of the OP.
I remember during my Psychology course one of the things we learned that the idea that "beauty in the eye of the beholder" isn't really true, and certain traits and features are considered more attractive, even across different nations. The only one I can remember is that people with more symmetrical faces are seen as more attractive.
Exactly. Humans are wired psychologically to find certain facial features attractive and others not so much. While personality plays a part in overall attractiveness and the longevity of a relationship, it doesn't mean one is not physically attractive.
When a guy claims that a clearly attractive woman is "ugly" he is usually disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.
It's a bit different for women as they take more into consideration when assessing a man but that's a different topic.
People can't really shy away from the reality of physical attraction. But since it is the 21st century a lot of other variables do play a part. Wealth is important but so is personality.
It's common knowledge that even a decent looking woman can glide by in life on her looks, though. That's reality. Love it or hate it.
I wish I had the actual study with me but basically the gist was, they showed pictures of different people and participants were told to choose the more attractive ones, and the participants pretty much chose the same people pretty consistently even though these involved different population groups across the world. So this isn't even taking into account personality or anything. Just pictures of people.
