i was reading a magazine and they had a poll called "do you think life would be better if you were pretty?" they polled a bunch of diffrent girls from diffrent countries and in Indonesia, about 90% of the girls said "yes". at first i thought "wow, thats kind of shallow". but then i thought about it.
people are always saying that its what inside that counts. i agree with that to some degree, but you gotta admit. life would be better and easier if you were better looking, for the most part. we're always first judged by our looks. at least thats what i think. |

As hard as it is to accept that we live in a shallow world, I would say that you're in denial if you think otherwise. Why else do you think we have problems like anorexia, bulimia, and other "diseases" of the sort more popular than ever these days?

QUOTE(Kathleen @ Aug 10 2006, 7:29 AM)  As hard as it is to accept that we live in a shallow world, I would say that you're in denial if you think otherwise. Why else do you think we have problems like anorexia, bulimia, and other "diseases" of the sort more popular than ever these days? I agree that the world today is a lot more shallow. But we are all guilty of that. Just think for a minute, what first draws you to a person? Yeah, that's right, their looks. It's once you get to know them that you apreciate, or don't apreciate, the person they are. Another thing I'd like to point out: everyone's going on about not judging ugly people but what about the pretty people? I noticed that a few of you were going on about how pretty people are mean, that is just as bad as saying ugly people are mean. Why hate someone because they're pretty? Why should they be mean? One more thing before I end this rant, and the reason why I quoted someone else: these "diseases" as you called them, are just that. They're mental health problems which often have nothing to do with losing weight but just use weight as the excuse. It's all about self-worth issues/proving yourself etc and often has nothing to do with being pretty. As most of you are trying to say: there are plenty of other things that people worry about besides being pretty: that's just one of the problems so why are we all assuming that it's to do with being pretty? If you ask me, we're all as wrapped up in looks as the next person. And that includes me. I'll get lost now. |
