why we admire beauty?

because we all see with our *eyes* not our mind.

Because the majority of people are shallow.

Because, A thing of beauty is a Joy for ever.

Beauty of a picture, a piece of art, a monument, a sculpture, a bird, an insect, an animal or a human as much as of the nature and universe...all provoke a voluntary admiration as a design of Maya Jaal of the Almighty though anything ugly too can also be as beautiful!

coz its pretty

Beauty is in the eye of beholder.

This is a proverb that is time tested and it is true.

All other answers are worth repeating because most people have given their views on the subject and from their stand point they are correct and accurate.

we do admire beauty because we all are beautiful in our own way.

it's what we see that captures our attention.

symetrics of facial features = beauty = "survival of the fittest" (read that somewhere)

I don't have any idea! but allll of us do we are just careless women who love the opposite sex and are totally vain!

Because no one likes looking at ugly things.
