[naky-nag-nat]

What is the difference?

[Goodsoulette]

BEn Affleck is beautiful.

Justin Lee COllins is attractive.

Christian BAle is beautiful and attractive.

Thats about as best as I can describe it,

Hi naky -
I would describe beauty as the whole package, looks & what's inside.
Attractivness I would describe as skin deep?

beauty is natural

attractiveness is wearing loads of makeup because your not a natural beauty

[Ice.Maiden]

No...I don't agree with that, No. 1 - lol!!!! A person can have a certain "something" which makes them attractive, without being out-and-out beautiful. Then again - what's beauty anyway? Literally in the eyes of the beholder, because what one person thinks is gorgeous, another one'll turn their nose up at.
Beauty CAN be man-made though, whether it's by spending a fortune at the cosmetic counter, or by surgery. I just prefer people as nature intended....like Fish!!!!!!!! grin. x

beauty really is being beautiful on the outside and also inside.... attractiveness is only on the eye...

Attractiveness is that indefineable something that a person has that some, but not all, can see.

Jack Nicholson is attractive to a lot of women, but his attraction is usually lost on men - most of whom have a problem agreeing that a man is attractive.

Brad Pitt is beautiful, anyone can see that, but not everyone thinks he is attractive.

It's a fascinating subject.

I don't find Brad Pitt beautiful or attractive Andy! Just goes to prove how it is indefinable - each to his own.

Now Daniel Craig to me is so attractive and beautiful, and Bob Hoskins and Andrew Marr are attractive but certainly not beautiful.

Attractiveness covers so much more.

[LoftyLottie]

and I think Zoe Wannamaker (sp.) is very attractive, but certainly not beautiful.

To me, attractiveness is 'there's something about the whole package' I like: personality as well as looks... beauty is more surface/purely looks based.

ive been asked this before and i didnt know the answer! attractive is where you are appealing to other people and pleasing to the eye but beauty is more of a natural, effortless radiance that has other people really noticing you. if placed in a room with 100 other people you would be the one that stood out and be most remembered due to the wow factor
