Some people look beautiful. But we could see few people who are very charming. It can be because of their attitude or character. Do you think that being beautiful is different from being charming? Which one do you like? - Being beautiful or being charming?

Hello smilyn! I do believe that charming and beautiful are two different words although sometimes they complement each other. Not because the girl is beautiful it means that she is charming and vice versa. For example, most of the celebrities are beautiful but not all of them succeeded or became famous simply because they don't have charm to the people.

yes, many of the celebrities are beautiful but not all are charming. I have felt a childish beauty with charming people.

Beauty is the outer view but character which is inside the person which is beautiful cant seen from outside.I like to be charming rather then beautiful.

I think being charming is itself bring beautiful in the nature of the person. I like tobe beautiful as well as charming. Why i left one, if given option, in the pretext of other option,lol. Charming may be depends on situation to situation but if the person is beautiful then he/she has tobe beautiful in any condition if he/she is decent by nature. wht you say??

I think there's a difference between being beautiful and being just charming. Beauty can only go so far without a good personality. Having charm gets you what you want easier and it's a very attractive trait. I know of people who are charming and their requests are hard to decline! I definitely prefer charm over beauty.

You are absolutely right. Charmness is something that is really adorable. I know of a charming girl at my office. Even if she does something wrong, her seniors never scolds her or even warns her. Her face never allows them to be harsh to her.

if i can have them both why not....lol...but if i were have to choose only one, i would rather be a charming than beautiful. For me, being beautiful is useless if you don't have charm. I think people will love it more if you have charm and that makes you more attractive.

Beauty fades pretty quickly but charm is a lifelong talent. People who rely on their beauty quickly find themselves with nothing if they've relied on their looks to get them where they are. People with charm always usually have real friends and can go far in business. Have you ever seen an old person's picture when they're young? If they are very "ugly" as you see it, it's likely they were beautiful when young. If they are beautiful as old people, chances are they were rather plain or just "ugly" in their youth. That said, I rarely see anyone that I can call "ugly" Everyone has at least one beautiful feature.

I have seen that many people who consider themselves to be beautiful are vain and haughty.They look down upon others who are less good looking than them.Charm comes not from external looks but from the heart. A charming person is usually open hearted, non-malicious, gracious, kind hearted and full of love for fellow human beings.There are people who do not have good looks but are so charming by nature that you forget their external features.Of course there is nothing better than a combination of good looks and charm but it is rare to find a person with both. I certainly will give a plus point to a charming person.

I like to be charming because it can be bring anywhere even with different aspects of life. It was also give us the most positive outlook in life. Especially being charmed inside us I mean the attitude of a person. Beautiful makes us also popular in a way that when we saw by many they always take a second look. It will also gives us the popularity that we wanted in life like being an actress or celibrities.
