Why do people say beauty is only skin deep?

Posted: October 23rd, 2009 under skin beauty.

How is beauty only skin deep?

Because you could be the most beautiful person in the world, but have the ugliest personality.

"Beauty is only skin deep" means just because someone is beautiful on the outside, it doesn’t mean they are beautiful people on the inside.

  1. it is an old expression to say that what someone looks like does not neccessarily correlate to what sort of person they are on the "inside". beautiful looking people may be horrible personalities and vice versa.

  3. basically, they are talking about the persons personality. the person in question is gorgeous, but has the worse attitude. That and as a person ages their beauty fades, so what made them beautiful in their youth is not there.

  4. because ‘beauty is skin deep’ basically means you’re personality and if its not a ‘nice’ personality it makes you ‘ugly’. i however don’t belive in that term. i think it makes people who are less confident and insecure feel better about themselves.

  5. There’s another saying that finishes the other.
    "Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone"

  6. Because there is more to me than my God-given good looks.
    And while skin can get burnt in an accident or wrinkled with age or be of any color appealing to some/not attractive to others……
    I will remain beautiful to those that know me.
    And while you may call it "inner beauty or personality" or whatever, truth is – intelligence and kindness bring a sparkle to the eyes and a radiance on the face that "duh-ness" or cruelty with symmetrical features can’t beat.

    Besides, beauty is subjective. What you find pretty may or may not appeal to me.

    And pretty people are biologically superior ??
    You mean they can’t get cancer, or measles or coughs&colds or aids ?
