how does society dictate who is good looking and who isn't? what do these people have in common? (skinny, high cheekbones?)

Okay, well, Sherry is partly right, although that quote is misused. "Beholder" means one who admires/adores a person. So that quote means that beauty is in the eyes of a lover or admirer, not that every person sees beauty differently.
People do generally have different ideas of people. Generally speaking, girls with a good body and a tan are considered pretty, as are people who are well-put-together (do their hair and makeup, wear a nice outfit, etc.). For girls, blondes automatically get "pretty points". Also the striking combination of bright blue or green eyes and dark hair is considered by almost everyone to be attractive. Okay, now that I sound like a complete dork, the last thing is that a great smile often can make a not-so-attractive person seem good looking.

I think it depends on who your asking.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

i'm not sure where the mindset started, but there's all something we see in a face that makes us think "oh, he/she's good looking."
it's all different for every person, but usually the things that stand out are:
-unique/large eyes
-symmetry between two sides of the face (features match up on each side, i guess)
-larger/fuller lips
-even, clear skin tone
-usually, higher cheek bones (you were right)
-skinny, or with healthy curves
i honestly look at uniqueness, though. remember, everyone's gorgeous in their own way, and everyone looks at people in different ways. i don't believe that there are certain features that make a person pretty or not, because anyone can be gorgeous, not depending on race, size, ect. :)
