Other Answers:
A person a may seem attractive to you but to someone else they maybe unattractive.
you and i don't think the same things are nice!
U mean Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder
What do you think it means? I think it means that we all percieve beauty different. Some people find Paris Hilton attractive, yet I don't see anything beautiful about her. I find Picasso paintings beautiful, and my wife doesn't. We perceive beauty different. It doesn't apply to my looks, it applies to how I see the looks of other people.
no
It means that someone's beauty is determined by the person looking at him/her. I may think someone is absolutely beautiful, yet another person may not think that person is at all attractive. So it is all the perception of the person doing the "looking."
It depends on a persons view, somebody may think one thing is gorgeous and someone the most hideous thing you've ever seen.
that means even if you are ugly to the general public somebody will think you are attractive
It means beauty is with beautiful people only.
That whether or not you are beautiful is the opinion of the one who's looking at you.

Some people may find you beautiful, while another may not.
What one person finds beautiful, others may not.
it means you look only as good as YOU think you do, if your not confident and comfortable with yourself and how you look then others will not either.
it's like when u see that ur baby is the cutest thing in the world but others find him/her ugly. it's beauty in the eye of the beholder cz he's ur kid and u see him/her the best.
It mean that its your eyes that show you something beautiful. but other one can say that is ugly.

people have different ideas of what beautiful is. one guy may think you are the most beautiful girl in t he world, where as another one may not even give you a second glance.
It's all in the way you look at it! To one something beautiful is beautiful. to another it is well. ugly!

It means that no one person can say that they are more beautiful than someone else. What is beauty?
Not all "see things" in the same way..what you like, others may not..

Opinions are like arss holes.everybody has one!

Don't judge a book, by it's cover.

To Each, his Own

Ah.but.. beauty IS in the EYE OF the beholder..
Every one has their idea of what beauty is..one mans meat is another mans poison
This means that "beauty" is a relative concept, i.e it can mean different things to different people. Something one person finds beautiful, can be equally abhorent to the other. It depends on people's perception.
That is what this phrase means. Hope this helps. =)
its what you think is beauty is. someone might not think your attractive and on the other hand someone else does
Beauty is subjective or subject to interpretation. A tall guy may think Heidi Klum is gorgeous, statuesque. A short guy may feel intimidated (and ill equipped) and therefore might think (or "claim") she's amazon, freakish. The quote, roughly translated, therefore means whether or not someone is attractive is subject to the tastes (the "eye" if you will) of the person looking (the "beholder").
Simple not everyone see beauty the same way , what is heart stopping and out of this world gorgeous to one, may be not even worth a look to someone else & thank goodness it is like this can you imagine what it would be like if everyone liked the same thing in other people only a very small amount of people would ever find their true love & the rest of us would be out there starving for love & effection worth thinking about don't you think hehehe ..have a nice day
each person is diffrent one may think you look great while another thinks you dont
