Why can't an ugly girl get a fine man? Yet an ugly man can date a super modle?

Honey I take it as entertainment. No one said E! tv was preaching the gospel. I like my mindless entertainment just as much as I love reading classical literature. It's entertainment. Whether I'm watching mindless reality or celebrity gossip shows or reading Greek Mythology a part of me lives vicariously through the lives of others. Its nice to lighten up the mood a bit when there are so many "news" network pushing the "actual" events of the world, that might I add are skewed from the truth as well. So don't tell me I watch too much tv... it's only a bad thing when you take everything as the word of god, which I don't I know how media is shaped and formulated to present a certain idea or opinion.

Everyone whether consciously or subconsciously judges people based on superficial attributes at one time or another. It's they way humans are wired. Nothing wrong with being human, we don't always have to be so politically correct. Just like we all are a little racist or we all have some prejudices. We aren't morally perfect, we are human.

I don't think it makes us wonderful, I think it makes us normal.

Not saying I am morally perfect. Far from it. But if something flicks through my head subconsciously, it would never pass my lips.

but the lives of celebrities should not be our entertainment. This is the problem. People make it their business. These people are regular people just like us. You don't know your neighbours personal business. Why i it fair that we have to know things that they try to keep personal.

I'm just saying illness can break some families. Not everyone can emotionally handle when someone they love has an illness. I never discount how hard illness is for a family. I've dealt with plenty heart ache from a grandfather with Alzheimer's disease to a grandmother battling breast cancer. It's not a small feat to deal with that for the patient and for the family involved.

Some people work hard to keep their lives private, and while other celebrities not so much. All I'm saying is its a cost of fame. Might be an unfair cost, but it is the cost. I know this everytime I log onto my yahoo homepage and the headline is about the terrible domestic violence between Rihanna and Chris Brown which is a very heartbreaking situation. you can't help but notice when you are bombarded with the magazine covers in the check out line. It's our society, wasn't always our society, but with the advent of technologies like the internet and tv, it's the life we live and you'd be hard press to stop it.

all of you guys are such inspirational people. You guys say very accepting things. It's good that you can look past all the superficiality in our society. And what is even more ironic is that this is a site devoted to make-up, and we all know that the cosmetics industry is one of the biggest perpetrators of an unrealistic notion of beauty and perfection. so I just love how you guys can beautify yourself with make-up and still understand that it is what's underneath the foundation, concealer, and shadow that counts! And it's even better if you can find a lover who understands that concept as well. So on that positive note, I 'm done with this post because I have to get back to my real life and study for midterms!

Thanks for all your thoughts!

If it helps at all, I'm a sociology major too and I could definitely see this topic being brought up in one of my classes......we did discuss how women are judged on a higher standard than men are in my gender class, which may be related to this post and how the observation you made can occur. And trust me, I agree with everyone's general opinion that attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder, but maybe the original poster was getting more at a psychological or academic point of view and not so much a general life point of view...because attractiveness and couples are definitely analyzed and discussed in detail in a lot of my psychology/sociology classes. As a sociology major, I see her interest in things like this because while a lot of us here see the insanity of judging others, the fact is that society does do this...and so it is interesting to ask why. This exact post would 100% be talked about in my classes, and in fact has been talked about in a psyc class I took. Just a thought, I think we may have been a little harsh now that I look again at what she was getting at, maybe the wording just came out wrong?

THANK YOU.... so I added to my original post this ETA:I understand why a person is with someone other ppl don't consider physically attractive, but it just seems like to me that women are more likely to not care about conventional standards of beauty, while men on the hand place beauty at a higher level than anything else when they are picking mates. My question is why do you see more couples that include conventionally attractive women with not so conventionally attractive men than a couple with an attractive man and a not so conventionally attractive female. I copied and pasted my Facebook note that was written in the vernacular. So sorry for talking in a way where only my friends could understand.

Obviously my colloquial language was frown upon in my original post. But in numerous response posts I put on my academic cap and I thought I explained what my actual question is and why I asked it. So I just wanna thank you for seeing that I'm not a vicious or insensitive person because I ask a question that a lot of ppl wonder about.

I understand what you meant, now that you've clarified in several posts, and I do think it's an interesting question. A word of advice though, if you want informed interesting responses, post a clear and interesting first post. Based on your OP, people not only had no idea what you were talking about, but had a hard time taking the discussion seriously. If you wanted to post that conversation between you and your friend to clarify, great, but that shouldn't be the whole post. Remember that this is an international forum, and for people who don't understand the kind of language you were using because of their location or language barriers, adding to the discussion is going to be pretty difficult.

Why would you call anyone 'dog faced' in the first place?

Ugly words come from an ugly personality. If this entire thread is indicative of the way you think about and treat people, then your looks are the last thing you need to concern yourself about when it comes to being an attractive person in the eyes of those around you.

In the real world people fall in love with whoever they fall in love with, regardless of looks. If you want to take a representational sample of comparative good looks between partners you're better off going to the mall on Saturday afternoon than you are reading celebrity gossip magazines.

Dog-face was in the context of a conversation with a friend. It was a joke. Yes some ppl have poor taste in jokes at the expense of others. Sad that a lot of comedy is based on that. But you cannot fully judge my character of person by one negative adjective I used. This post hardly reflects every facet of my personality. I am a HUGE advocate of loving what you've got. And "dog-face" came from the adjective my friend used earlier in our conversation. Again it has been duly noted that I should not have just copied and pasted an excerpt from a conversation I had and expect the general public to understand. But you cannot measure how I treat people in my real life with one comment. Nor can you access my whole personality based on one post. People say mean stuff every once in a while, but that does not make a bad person. I have never disrespected anyone on this site and I am only supportive of people's make up looks and their post on whatever the topic. I accept people's opinion even if they off-putting, but I do not attack their character or personality, especially on a website, because I do not know these people in real life. And perhaps it's a little hypocritical of me to "attack" Usher's wife when I do not know her in real life, but the odds of her ever reading this post, or in fact caring about this post are slim to none. So I don't think you should get offended b/c I've never commented on your or anyone elses appearance on this website in a negative way. Plus too I am a dog lover!
