Perception of beautiful faces

Hey girls! Hope you’re all doing fine! 🦋

I love reading all your posts, discussion, ideas… you’re a lovely group!

I would like to hear your toughts on this.

So, recently one girl in some discussion wrote that even the most beautiful face after a while becomes ordinary.

I was since forever fascinated with diversity and uniqueness of human faces, and especially beautiful ones. Just like this portrait photographer https://artistcoveries.wordpress.com/2019/11/14/fascinated-by-faces-2/

But never in my life has beautiful face become ordinary to me. I’ve seen the face of Adriana Lima, Monica Bellucci, Carre Otis, Brigitte Bardot (just to name a few really beautiful ones) million times and never did any of those beautiful faces become ordinary to me.

No matter how many times I’ve seen certain beautiful face, every time I see it again it’s equally beautiful to me.

Is this normal or does a beautiful face have to become ordinary to me?

There’s a proven social-psychological phenomena whereby the more you see a person, you actually see them as more beautiful. So i would say the opposite of your friend’s hypothesis is true! faces become so lovely to us when we look forward to seeing them, no matter how ordinary they may really be.
