Construction of a sentence

[irmamar]

I understand the following sentence, but I think its construction is a bit strange. Is it to give emphasis?

All good looks are a snare.

I'd say: all the things that look good are a snare.

Maybe I'm wrong :thinking:

Thanks :)

Thanks :)Irmamar - 'Good Looks' is a noun phrase specifically to describe a beautiful woman or a handsome man. The meaning is no wider than that.

It is similar to the saying 'Beauty is skin deep' :)

Edit: Looks in this case is a plural noun, not a verb.

Well, I'm really tired now :sad:

It's better that you say ( All the things that look good are a dust.

I hope you can understand my example.
