Physical beauty or inner beauty?

Who thinks that outer beauty is most important than the inside or the opposite and why?

Everyone will say that inner beauty is more important, but evidence says the opposite. As you say yourself, people often get hired based (at least partly) on looks. It seems to be human nature and especially modern society that people are drawn to the aesthetically pleasing. It may not be nice to admit, but it's the truth.

both beauties are important.inner and outer beauties are associated.inner beauty has its reflections on the outer one.we first see the physical one.it's nice to see  good looking people who  have a fine taste,isn't it?

I support Lilimira's views perfectly.outer beauty is the reflection of the inner!

& want add that physical beauty depends upon the hungerness of the man too,it is directly proportional to the the desire of sex.

I almost agree with man from egypht above, we are human, we need both! We have eyes, first of all we look at someone physically, but as the time goes by we know the real people whether having inner beauty or not.

I want to know if you are a manager, you must choose one from two. At frist sight, which one do you want  to choose?most of us will see which one is beauty . Is it right?                  Althought both beauty are important, but at this time. if you a beautiful person,you will get more chance than others. That stands to reason.

I see that almost replies are agree with each other, just i wanna add an important point


Everyone judges others by looks but it shouldn’t be the most important factor in determining someone’s character. We shouldn’t be overly obssessed as to live by how we looks but unfortunately, we are too weak to resist beauty, especialy women beauty, even if we are sure that  beauty looked with eyes doesn't last forever.



We should concentrate on inner beauty and i think the outer beauty is what we inherit and the inner beauty is what we acquire.The point is that inner beauty is more important than outside beauty, but if a person is strong by nature,character,ethics,morals in otehr word if he/she derives his/her strength from religion then he/she automatically starts looking good by appearnce.

 

Believe me if you start your day with a smile and conitnue smiling the whole day you look so beautiful Wink.

In theory inner beauty is more important. But in reality, for many jobs, a good image is well received and it can make you to get better chances for a job. For example, for models, secretaries, people en human relations, etc.

Nowadays, society expects you look good and project a good and healthy image: Be slim, be modern, earn a lot of money, go to the gym, have a nice car… all is about image.

In my case, of course I enjoy to see a good body, but there´s more important aspects in a person that make me feel attracted by them.

i think both prove thier selves. from outer beauty we attaracted alot but if someone who has inner beauty then he/she is also inspired us. if we spend some time with them.

and one thing outer beauty leave effect on us for shor time, but inner's effect is not forgetable.
