Status: offline 		I'm afraid I didn't vote only because I'm a literal-minded bastard.  However, to clarify:

If the question is, "Can beauty be physical or mental?" I'd have to go with 'both'.

If the question is, "Does beauty manifest more obviously as physical or mental?" I'd have to lean towards 'physical' - advertisement imagery  is easy, recognizing mental attributes requires effort.  Less effort required tends to be the bigger draw, like it or not.

If the question is, "Should beauty be defined as physical or mental?" it becomes subjective, but my personal lean would be towards 'mental'.  The mind translates the input of the senses, thus rendering the ultimate discernment on what is aesthetically pleasing, and what is not.  That means even physical beauty cannot exist without the same mental appraisal one would put into discerning "mental" beauty.

If the question is, "Were you always like this, or were you dropped on your head as a baby...?"...well, actually when I was very young my sister tipped the shopping cart over intentionally because I annoyed her.  You be the judge.

Status: offline 		There's some Latin phrase that describes an error in logic, in which a false dichotomy is presented.  Inner beauty and physical beauty aren't mutually exclusive.

The suggestion is that people who are considered physically beautiful, aren't as endowed with beauty of spirit or personality or psyche, and vice-versa.  This, in itself, seems to be judging a person's other qualities, by their appearance.



Touched by the sweet skin, the blood flows in
wraps me in a soft heat
and fills up the bottom of my heart
 
I want to rain down
so much love upon you always
now, I wish for an eternity
 
Bless this starry sky that lights our meeting
.... it's so very pretty
 
The guidance of the swirling stars is magic
who should I thank for this?

I devote my love to you forever
for an eternity

Inner beauty changes ones appearence. So does inner ugliness.

Status: offline 		I have been around beautiful people who are gorgeous inside and out. I have been around physically beautiful people that amounted to nothing inside. A pretty sea shell. You pick it up, look at it, smile, think "awww pretty" but then you turn it over and it's empty inside. I have met physically repugnant people who were just as ugly inside. I have met ugly people whose inner life and light shine so brightly, you can only stare at them, dazzled. Everyone has their own ideas about what is beautiful and attractive to them. Mental and physical beauty aren't mutually exclusive. Though IMO, not matter how physically beautiful someone is, if they don't have something else besides that pretty outside going on, long term, it's not going to work.
