The beauty you "believe" is the beauty that media and society teach us, how can that be a "general" view of beauty, when it's obvious that each one has their own standards?
Again, you're assuming. There are very few people I'd consider beautiful. That doesn't apply to the media. As I already said: The opinion amongst people doesn't even vary enough for there to be no standard.

What I am going to say is far from original but the true beauty lies within your actions and attitudes, some people may not impress you at first sight but you can notice later how beautiful they are
Well yes. But when you're looking at a picture of a total stranger, that doesn't come into account.
Uh, what? "Beauty is subjective, but that doesn't mean it's subjective!" And a large number of believers doesn't make something true. There is no standard for beauty except what you [general you] think is beautiful. Case in point: One of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen had clearly suffered severe burns to her face when she was younger. I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.
That's not what I said. Although there are varying degrees of what people find beautiful, there isn't enough variation for there to be no standard at all. Just like with anything else, you can disagree with the majority, but they're setting the standard. You can disagree with the standard, but it doesn't make it any less existent. An you yourself will surely not find all people equally attractive, so they can't all be beautiful to you.

If most people shared our same opinion, there would not be as many overweight people as there are. An it's not just an opinion that they're overweight, you can tell by looking at them that they are overweight. I think if everyone here was offered £100 to guess correctly whether those women were the weight they should be, or overweight, everybody would surely be betting they were overweight. An if they weren't, they'd be getting no money!
Whilst weight can cause health problems, I think we need to get away from this notion that weight = health problems. I can't even begin to imagine how the woman in that second picture might be too big to be healthy, she looks fine to me.
I don't think either of those women are big enough to suffer serious health problems due to their weight, but they're not healthy. Being healthy requires a certain amount of physical activity, an they're obviously not getting enough of that. If they were, they wouldn't be overweight in the first place.
