And what's wrong with being literal? Are we only supposed to acknowledge some abstract meaning of it just so everyone can go off on any tangent they like and begin purposeless fights that are irrelevant to the actual question? I answered the question and got to the point. 'Looks' have nothing to do with anything other than physical appearance. 'Beauty' isn't the question here, otherwise everyone could talk all day about how inner beauty is all that counts.
What is this life's handbook that you seem to know about anyway? Does everyone get a copy? I haven't received mine yet. Perhaps then I'll have the answer to the question of what good looking means that seems to be the correct one for you. =)

Aisha said:Someone else has already said the bit about it being dependent on the eye of the beholder. Good looking to you would mean someone you think is physically appealing, someone who is physically attractive to you. Looks are physical characteristics/appearance and nothing else. Dictionaries are a thing. Why is this a debate? If you were talking about attraction/attractiveness that would encompass everything else as well.
And this too.
What's good looking to an individual is all preferential. One can't speak for the other...
