They say that looks doesn’t matter.
Liars.
Really? Looks doesn’t matter? Then why do we have to be judged based on how we dress? Why does “First Impressions” counts?
I strongly believe that if you’re beautiful, you will be successful.
This theory applies everywhere. In work, in life, in relationships…
I’ve seen many people here posting about their loved ones. And they will always describe how beautiful he/she looks. Why? Why the looks? Why can’t they describe their character instead?
If you’re beautiful, you get the men/women.
If you’re beautiful, you get the job.
If you’re beautiful, you get more care and concern. And attention.

I don’t think this is necessarily true.
On the outside many people have learned to show the world a smiling face while on the inside they are confused, hurting, and lonely just like everyone else.
beauty is nothing
Steve Jobs was drop dead gorgeous. For sure.
Plenty of gorgeous women become disease infested gutter skanks.
Ron Jeremy proves it’s not really about “looks.” (but it’s also not really Not about looks, either…)
Part of appeal lies in the eyes of the beholder… but many of those eyes are blinded by the same smokescreens, and have their visions obscured by the same filters. “Rose colored glasses” don’t just make everything appear rosy… they also cause the wearer to become accustomed to the rosiness, which becomes expectation and dependence.
There is beauty in mountains and storms… even in destruction. There is beauty in rawness, clarity and truth. There is beauty in both depth and breadth, as well as even in the shallows and surfaces.
I think most people just want to feel good, and many are willing to throw someone else under the bus, in order to get or feel what they want. People want to feel good, even if it requires making others feel bad.
I’m as appreciative of a pretty face and a nice body, as anyone else… but i doubt i can sufficiently express the way it feels to reel and cringe and wretch, when i realize there’s nothing more worth looking closer for, inside that supple, shiny shell.
If I can’t be beautiful, there’s no point in living.
Love is the answer. Beauty is the truth.
first impressions count yes but that isnt completely based on your looks. and how you dress is a statement on how you wish to present yourself, like if you show up to an interview in sweats you wont give such a good impression as in a blazer.
when youre in love you tend to idealize the people youre in love with. they pretty much become beautiful to you, even if theyre not typically beautiful.
i would guess there are as many less than beautiful people in relationships, with jobs, and with people who care about them as beautiful people. i guess mostly youre just more likely to be in a relationship with someone beautiful if you are yourself. and perhaps beauty would help in certain jobs, such as media marketing and sales, but in some cases you may even be overlooked because youre beautiful (nanny is the best example i can think of).
I think what you’ve said is so true. That is what the world is and it’s the truth. But people don’t like to think that, so they tell themselves otherwise. Even though looks shouldnt matter, one of the flaws of the human mindset is that they do matter so we must deal withit.
By being beautiful you gain confident. You will start to like yourself more and more. If you go in school you will get more popular if you have much confident. And that will make you happy. This is how it was for me :/
I had a boyfriend who told me, well after we had broken up and were just friends, that there’s this “spectrum” in which he ranked how beauty is perceived by “he himself”, as if his opinion was every other male’s. On this spectrum, he said, the lowest were the people born with nothing. And by nothing he meant good looks. So these people have to work in life – they are the behind-the-scenes props used to further facilitate the easy life of the beautiful. The beautiful people are, of course, on the opposite side of the spectrum. They don’t have to work in life. They are given everything by the low side and the in-between. They’re handed everything because they’re beautiful.
Then he told me I was one of those beautiful people. Of course, he was referring to my looks, as that was all he mentioned in regards to this ridiculous spectrum he made up. I was kind of baffled; didn’t he just contradict himself? Because even if I am physically beautiful, I am most definitely not handed anything in life. I’ve always felt like, in his terms, I was on the low side of the spectrum.
I know inside I’m not beautiful; I’m not confident, I’m not happy, I’m not worth anything. And that’s what I exert unto other people. So even if I am his superficial, vapid definition of “beautiful” it doesn’t matter. My grossly unhappy aura is enough to turn people OFF.
It just makes me wonder what I should think, you know? I’ve grown up with a similar belief that looks are everything, but according to other people, they’ve gotten pissed at me sometimes because it’s as if I look down on them. Because I don’t like the prospect of socializing, maybe? That I quite enjoy being left with my own thoughts. That makes me an ugly person, apparently.
It’s all so silly, isn’t it? Hah…
