Physical attractiveness is a subjective concept that varies greatly from person to person and across different cultures. What one person finds attractive, another may not. This is due to a variety of factors including personal preferences, cultural influences, and individual experiences.

Additionally, physical attractiveness is not solely based on physical appearance. Factors such as personality, confidence, and charisma also play a significant role in how attractive someone is perceived to be. These non-physical attributes can greatly impact one's overall attractiveness, making it impossible to define physical attractiveness in terms of absolutes.

Furthermore, beauty standards and ideals change over time and across different societies. What is considered attractive in one era or culture may not be considered attractive in another. This further demonstrates the subjective nature of physical attractiveness and the impossibility of defining it in absolute terms.

In conclusion, physical attractiveness is a complex and subjective concept that cannot be defined in absolute terms. It is influenced by a multitude of factors and varies greatly from person to person and across different cultures. Therefore, it is impossible to define physical attractiveness in terms of absolutes.

What you perceive as attractive may be different from what others perceive as attractive, and your standards may be based on sex, race, and socioeconomic background (as well as others). To what does this refer?
