Not necessarily I love myself and I really dont consider myself to be much of a picture unless you're talking about abstract art that is...
my feelings:
1) it is impossible to love a supermodel because ur first impression of them is solely from their body/features...
2) beauty may begin on the skin level, but it has to continue under the skin into the heart to allow them to be loved...my gf is beautiful, but its her mind and her overall persona taht makes her attractive.
3) if u judge whether or not sumone is ur friend based on their looks, ur shallower than the puddle at the end of my street...get over physical features, its the person inside the body...not the body itself.
i didnt...y would i wanna go out w/sumone i couldnt have a intellecutally stimulating conversation w/? thats jus stupid...wut would u say? "u look hott..." "i know! isnt it great (hehe)" "yeah, ur hott" "i know i am...its my selling point..." OR "what do u think about the revolution in haiti?" "oh, i dont hate anyone...im nice like that"
c? it would get kinda boring...

Who thinks that beauty is all about what people look like? curlersThis is stemming from a lot of things I have been reading around here. ๐
People everywhere are insecure and have low self-esteem.
In the OTF "Do You Love Me" threads pop up all the time. ๐So the question is, when you see someone who isn't the Hollywood definition of beautiful do you just walk on by, or do you bother to learn something about them before judging them based on looks? ๐
Like at school or work for example......
Are you friends with people who in society may be considered ugly based on their looks alone, or do you just hang out with people who are cute and or sexy? ๐mart:Or do you wish you looked like someone else because you consider yourself to be ugly? ๐
I'm answering my own questions here ๐mart:
Beauty for me is the human being in full. Their personality and their looks put together to make one. Everyone is beautiful in some perspective, some people have looks, others senses of humour, and other even have intelligence, and so on. That's what makes people beautiful in my eyes their uniqueness and differences.
I also think that the Hollywood definition is a bit over done. Who says you have to be a size 4 to be sexy ๐คจ Many people are sexy in their own ways. Hollywood however has implanted a vision of the perfect person, something not many people can achieve and many try very hard. For me sexiness is really confidence, do you believe in yourself and are cool with who you are.
I hang out with everyone who cares about me or cares enough to try to become my friend. If we all looked alike, what fun is that ๐
Personally I can't say that I do wish to look like someone else.I love myself, and figure it could be much worse, I'm happy and healthy and that is most important, although there are of course times I wish I looked like the hottest celebrities ๐ฎ, but those times pass, and you just have to love yourself for who you are!
What IS beauty? Think about it, it IS about how we LOOK.
Weโre living in a time, when superficial first impressions mean more than ever. Girls down to the age of 8 start suffering from eating disorders, teenage girls starve themselves or get plastic surgery etc.
But are LOOKS all that matter? Not in the long run, no, but โwho has the time?โ, as the Merovingian asks in The Matrix Reloaded.
Will I first notice the good-looking guy over the ugly guy? Sure I will. But who becomes my friend depends on a lot more than that. Wits, charms, intelligence, humour.
The very Beautiful Ones have a tendency to know it very well โ and may have little else to offer, until they, as Lil Bitchiness writes, grow older and time starts to work on their looks. I donโt know.
I dunno. I was terribly insecure about my looks when I was younger. Today I am not. Iโm fortunate to be good-looking and that DOES give an advantage.
That quote by Jim Carrey is true partly, though I'm not too sure ๐ It HAS happened to me, thinking one boy is good-looking, while another friend of mine to think he's not ๐ฌ I guess that there IS objective beauty, but when it comes to liking someone the factor of "chemistry" should be taken under consideration as well.
