What do you think being ugly means? Is ugly being fat or having glasses? Is it being disfigured or having acne? What do you think? Would you still care for someone no matter how they looked? How much do looks matter to you? What matters most to you in a relationship?
Looks are important in the world. We see on TV, magazines, etc. on what people think is beautiful. But there is no way that everyone can look like that. I might sound stupid, but I think it really is better to put aside how people look and focus on who they are. Every day people are picked on for their looks even when there is nothing they can do about it. Some are born pretty and some are born less pretty.
Let's face it, looks are important today, but what I think we should do is try to see past someone's outward appearence and know them for themselves. I really don't think there is an ugly. I can always find something nice about a person. What about you?

A liar. There's always beauty in authenticity. Just being the best of who you are and not pretending to be anything other than that is beautiful.
Honesty is beauty to me.

"Look how the trees loose their leaves and stand tall. They aren't ashamed. Standing naked, tall in front of all. Winter comes the snow covers them, and there's beauty for a spell. It melts away revealing naked skin, again. Spring comes, and there are leaves anew. Eyes mist over with morning's dew... at the sight of God's renewed love. Of naturally adorned beauty."

1I dont know what my def of ugly is, but I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
2I don't fight my biology.
I don't know why our society has come up with the silly and futile battle to make the world see "beauty is on the inside", but the cause is not noble or moral or good, it's kind of just a big waste of time.
The ugly people will always be the unhealthy ones, the ones with poor genetics, or the assholish ones that evolution tells us will make a sh*tty mates, like the unreliable, the cruel, or the untrustworthy.
The attractive people will be the healthy ones with good teeth and symmetrical features. The people that exhibit traits that suggest they'll be good to produce offspring with, like compassion, protectiveness, honesty, and trustworthiness.
You can find a person beautiful without knowing their "insides", because you're biologically programmed to do so. Pretending otherwise is denying your own physiology.
I think if someone isn't born pretty, it's simply too bad. It doesn't mean anything, they're just not attractive. Whatever. Evolution will select against them.. or maybe it won't anymore, because now we're all into looking on the "inside".
Science has already shown that what people find "pretty" or attractive correlates VERY strongly with health. Your genetics are written all over your face. Some attractiveness is universal, some is based on your own DNA.
Does it really matter?
3I believe an "ugly" person is one with a mean, uncaring soul. Those that do not care about others & the world, back stabs and lies.
4i agree with leeluv. ugly to me is a mean uncaring person.
5Yes, there are people who might have an attractive outer package, but sometimes their insides can be void of beauty!!!
6Selfishness,Meaness,Dishonest,Cruel that is ugly to me.Every person sees ugly differently. I don't like the word it just sounds cruel.
7The definition of ugly is when the cap is missing from my ruby Channel lipstick and the stick gets on my makeup bag. The cynical theory of ugly is proven by the fashion driven women who sip their skinny latte and check out their reflection in Bank of America’s storefront window. Ugly allows the envious broad to find a reason to hate the beautiful woman writing a check for her groceries. People use the definition of ugly to their benefit depending on if their hair looks appropriate. That reminds me, I need more hairspray.

9If they have BO on more than one occasion, then that is a turn off. Ugly comes from the inside to me, so I try not to look at outside appearances, but if it is apparent they do not care to take care of themselves, then that to me is a turn-off as well.
10Thereare definately social mores, but beyond that I think there is a universal ugliness, and that is being harsh and mean,unkind. I get kind of grossed out when I see someone let themselves go totally, and the care for health and grooming is all but gone, and that's just me. I don't really want to make out with someone who is grossly overweight, has long yellow toenails, doesn't bathe often and has dead dragon breath. I appreciate it when a man takes care of the total package, know what I mean?
11hi, that may be true for a little while...but once we get to know you, we will figure out pretty quickly if your ugly on the inside! And then it won't matter what you look like on the outside anymore, because the stench leaking out from what's inside the package will ruin the fun of the outside wrapping.
