Well I think this sort of thing everyone needs to take it with a pinch of salt lah. Guys will be guys and girls will be girls. Beauty is not a measurement of self worth. But can't deny that beauty is prized by everyone too. I'm just thankful i have 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 nose and too many mouth :P

Sigh. Totally agreed. Seeing that I'm also playing on the same "team" its worst. Good looking boys tend to get more attention and of course expensive gifts. Wouldn't you like for some one to buy you a Coach bag or a Gucci dress or an IPod. Yep. Its feisty on this side of the fence. Oh not to mention passes for events and of course the free flowing sex. This totally sucks!

agreed! thats spot on from randy. however, the culprits for this crime come from both sexes, dont you agree? "pretty" is objective...but everybody's taste is different.....hence "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". now, "attractiveness" is subjective.........you can be as pretty as Melissa Maureen, but with an attitude of a jerk, your attractiveness-level will be less than ZERO. for a life partner...i will only settle for someone is attractive to me, and being 'pretty' is not on top of the list.

Yeah should be... but one can't help feel that beauty cause you to be measured. I mean say you want to make friends or something, sometimes I find either myself or other girls are treated differently because of it. Either that or its the case of the person being the 'weirdo' in a group. Of course I'm blessed to be normal and not defaced in any manner too. Sigh sad.. thinking life's unfair here, when there are things that are more unfair to other ppl.

Hahaha it's here :) i see your comment, had to be moderated lol. You're right too man. it's a crime from both sexes.. but i suppose to reason i take it that the males are the ones who started is because it all started back in the days when females were subjected to the males and they had to follow everything that the males said or wanted them to do. I mean pity the poor girls whose feet were bound in China because their parents wanted them to not run away from their husbands.. and cause tiny feet were considered dainty my gosh... or the days of the corset And awwwwww man. That's really sweet on you wanting a girl like that, I'm glad to hear that :)

It's actually pretty weird if you look at nature. In nature, it's usually the MALES that need to be "pretty" so as to court females during the "mating season". Look at the peacock and the peahen as a very good example - the peacock, the MALE of the species, has resplendent tail feathers to attract females to mate with him. The peahen, the FEMALE, is just..... brown. Nothing outstanding, nothing fancy. Lions are another example. The male has nice manes, and they use this to attract females. The females, the lionesses, are plain by comparison. It's only us humans and certain species of primates (ie monkeys without tails) that are reverse - the females are the ones doing the attracting.

It's a fact that people are superficial, to a certain degree when it comes to mate selection. It's an integral part of our evolutionary makeup. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, seriously. It's your own funeral if you choose a partner with an obnoxious personality ya? I believe that the problem begins when some people believe that they have the right to pass judgment on another person's looks. While another person may be sexually unappealing to you, it does not give you the right to, err... be an asshole. It's ok to be superficial, we all do it anyway and it helps us make our initial assessments of the opposite sex. But don't take it too far as it can cloud our judgment, and it's certainly not ok to be an asshole. Nuff said. (:

That is really a good point. I never thought of it till u mentioned it. But interesting how in the animal kingdom it is the opposite.. in terms of look. but the courting is pretty much the same. Only that the male uses their looks to get the female..hmm..

*clap clap* well said! i totally agree pretty means having enough financial resources to doll yourself up. and please, even pretty is subjective. some girls are deemed pretty just cause they show lotsa flesh in their dressing and not cos they have good features. i would like to argue the pretty thing from a 1) evolutionary perspective and 2) psychological perspective. haha. in a nuthshell, girls doll themselves up because they want to attract mates. men generally want younger females because youth signifies the ability to concieve see. and i guess humans are shallow and judge others by their apperances since they usually dont have the time/mental resources to spend getting to know someone in depth. thus our outward exterior serves as a marker for whatever lies within. hahahaha. [/end psychology lecture] :P

Erm.....In this era, some wondered why pretty = popular and some even went to length to argue that this point is sickening! Perhaps in the near future some may argue personality = popular and why those with bad personality are shun away just as how unpretty people are, these days

i'm surprised Po (koksenwai) didn't say anything about his thoughts on the beautiful people. he has a whole argument for that. i won't say anything more for fear of being repetitive of your other commentors. but your post reminded me of Beauty and the Geek - the reality tv series? have you watched it? plenty of bimbos on that realise that there's more to the personality than just looks, and that some of the nicest guys they've ever met are the ones on that show. likewise for guys - they find out their stereotypical view of girls isn't necessarily right - that bimbos can be nice and (somewhat) smart and talented. btw just saw your pics with linessa n lincoln, and linessa hasn't changed, but lincoln has grown !! and ditto. u're already born with the pretty gene!!
