Pretty versus familiar face

It's natural for a heterosexual person to be attracted by a pretty face of the opposite gender. A straight guy likes looking at beautiful ladies while a straight lady likes looking at handsome guys.

Though I find it interesting that when someone became a close friend, the familiar face that gives you a warm and genuine smile, is a lot more attractive than just any pretty face of a stranger.

Perhaps it's just me, but when I become close to a person, the physical appearance doesn't seem to matter anymore, I see the inner beauty instead. So all those friendly familiar faces become pleasant to my eyes, they become 'good looking' in a sense, because it's nice seeing them.

A warm, comfortable sight.

On the other hand, there are people with pretty face but heinous personality, and that's just ugly. No amount of makeup or surgery can make such shallow person beautiful. It's the inner beauty that counts.

Anyway, just like to say that with the advance of makeup, plastic surgery, and photo editing software and skill, not all pretty faces you see is actually real.

Natural is beautiful, I do sincerely believe so.
