Why is it.

That when it comes to friendship, it doenst matter what you look like, if your a good friend thats what you are, regardless of looks/personality.

But

When it comes to gf/bf, even if you have a great personality, and the person likes being with you, if your not hot/handsom then you have no chance with the one you love when compared to a supermodel type person?

The question is, in its simpilist forum, is why do people, guys and girls, let outwardly appearance affect their decision? When in all reality, looks are only skin deep and fade with time, yet the inner beauty remains the same?



i just..cant..figure this out girls, pls tell me why so many of you *and yes guys are included but im focusing on the girls for a moment, not saying all girls do this, but just in general* let looks be the judge?

why..

wow that was deep. you deserve an applause.


lol. but to be honest, when it comes to choosing the right guy, i admit that i can be a bit shallow. it's human nature i guess. if the guy's inner beauty shines so strong to me, then of course i'd give him a chance.

and adding to what "barelyy_coherent" said, yes, our society today is brainwashed--from magazines, TV, etc... which all affects our minds and cause us to believe that the meaning of perfection and beauty fits to what we see today in those magazines or whatever when the people in it are really imperfect themselves. tools like the computer, airbrushing, make-up, etc... creates this perfection. so when we see some of the like qualities in the people we see, we admire them and it just goes from there. but, beauty eventually fades anyway. nothing really lasts forever.
