On the eyes of the right observer, yes. I'm sure there's someone out there who finds >>6377943 pic arousing and attractive.

What is defined by society as beautiful changes through time and depends on a lot of factors. I would only agree that there's certain patterns that remain the same through time, like being healthy, wealthy and self confident.

Despite all of that, the individual appreciation of what is beautiful can differ a lot from what is socially attractive. It has a influence in the individual, but it's not a "copy-paste" thing.

The research that blog article cited is not valid. Symmetry created by artificially manipulating a photo is not the same as symmetry in nature. With the 'perfect symmetry' seen in a photo the person's face is 'exactly' the same on both sides, which is unsettling because it looks like it can't be real. Relative symmetry has been confirmed as a universal standard of beauty in all cultures. If somebody has an eye an inch below the other eye, it looks objectively disturbing.

It depends on numerous factors. Subjective experience, and at one point of life someone is at.

Someone who has gone through much trauma may see easily different aspects of human beings, whilst someone who's been absent from immense hurt may find something different.
