I'm pretty. NOT.

Beauty is only skin deep.

Pfft. Liars.
How many times has someone been treated differently just because he/she isn't good looking?
Let me tell you, society now, has this thing going on with ugly people. I mean, people who aren't "pleasant-looking" are usually subjected to insults or stares from people who have this totally different view of what beauty is supposed to be.

What is beauty, anyway? Can beauty only be shown physically? That's what a lot of people believe right now. That's why you get all those magazines pumping out "tips" on how to make yourself look like Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman.
Isn't one of each enough?
Wouldn't you get bored of looking at the same thing over and over and over?
I mean, there's only so much of Angelina that you can take.
Sure, she's gorgeous. But what if you were hanging out at the mall or whatever, and you see 200 people that look exactly like her? You'd get sick of it. You'd probably change your view of beauty yet again. Angelina wouldn't be voted "Worlds Sexiest Woman" anymore. Boys wouldn't drool and lust over her. Women wouldn't want to BE her anymore.

Don't deny it, lah. You know I'm telling the truth.

I admit it, I'm a hypocrite. There have been times when I just look at myself in the mirror and think, "What if I were beautiful? Would it change things? Would it make me more likeable? Would it make me a happier person?"
But at other times, I tell myself that I'm happy with how I am. My looks won't affect my personality. And that's usually what matters the most.
But then again, you have girls who are willing to take things further. They resort to plastic surgery in order to acheive what their perception of beauty is. I mean, sure! You can wanna be beautiful or whatever but don't be so stupid to waste your money and risk your health in order to achieve that!

Take a look around. Not many people care about personality anymore.
For instance, you get idiots trying to hook up with girls just for the sake of having a piece of hot ass hanging on their arm. How would you know if she's more than a pretty face? How would you know if she's just trying to get you to do things for her? How would you know if she's taking you for a sucker?
The answer is, you don't. They just enjoy parading around showing their hot girlfriends off, just to get attention from others.

But on the other hand, how would we know if the beautiful people are sick of being portrayed as just a pretty face. We don't know that either. For all we know, they might be thinking, "I wish I looked more plain. That way, I wouldn't have to deal with people who just pay attention to me because of my looks."
You can't help but think, what if they're unhappy with having what what everyone else wants?

Maybe they should subscribe to magazines that tell you how to look like a bum?
