How many of us are really beautiful?

People who are continuously worried about how "beautiful" they are, are really just ugly people. Not ugly in the sense of bad looking but ugly as in vain. They put too much into looks and not enough into personality. This goes for both in themselves and in others around them. If you notice, pretty people are always surrounded by other pretty people. I have a theory for that... People who insist that they are "hot" or "beautiful" have it stuck in their heads that to be seen with someone not as perfect looking as themselves would in fact make them seem worse then they are. This being said, I find that the easier it is to talk to someone and get to know them the easier it is to love them and yourself. "Experts" say that if you don't find your self attractive and/or you don't love yourself no one else will. That however isn't true. I know my flaws that people see on the outside and the ones that are on the inside. I don't "love" myself but I know myself and I know what makes me happy. Therefore, I have found someone that is bald and fat, a little goofy, a complete nerd, has enough money to pay his bills (and not much more) and he completely thinks the world of me. We can joke around about the fact that I could seriously lose 20 pounds and that he could lose 50. But we know that we love each other and don't put a price on outward beauty. Those who do deserve to spend the rest of their lives alone and sad.

i personally think that all people are beautiful in their own way. it's just that some tend to care and notice more the physical aspect of beauty. we can't help it, we judge according to what we see on tv, magazines, billboards, and other stuff. we should learn to value more our inner beauties because it's what matters most.

I once attended a seminar which taught something that was to be engraved in my heart forever: We all are beautiful men and women of God. I agree that beauty goes beyond what's physical and that what's deep within enhances the beauty of what is outside.

How many of us are really beautiful, That is so true Cudamani, real beauty does lie in the heart. I had a dream that Tyra Banks showed up in the other night and she told me that I was the selection for her new show b/c I had everything they were looking for. I begin to think, but I'm not tall enough to be a model like most places look for. Then it was as if she said, it's okay........ In essense I felt like God had used her in my dream to say that I'm okay just as I am. I don't need to look like a supermodel at all in order to be beautiful...... and neither do you. We were all made in God's image and we are all just fine just the way we are.All people have at least one or two flaws, even Tyra Banks....... and I'm not trying to hate on Tyra b/c I think she has a beautiful spirit ...I just get tired of being fed the line that we must all fit into the old stereotypical patterns in order to be accepted by society. I think that more real women and men need to start doing whatever is possible to put the truth out there. None of us are perfect by any means but we are all still beautiful.

for me all human's created by God are Handsome and Beautiful and no one is created to be ugly. my concept in determining a person weather she is beautiful or she is ugly is her Characteristic. I don't mind for a person External Appearance and i don't have a traits to describe a person the positive aspect of something that is not physically observable or it has a inner beauty. It is useless for a girl that she has a inner beauty but she don't have a good characteristic. Actually in the real life set up mostly they preferred to choose a person that she has a inner beauty because it represents a standard comparison, and it can cause resentment dissatisfaction when not achieved that's the effect to the society.

I admit to looking in the mirror a couple of time a day. But I do not worry overly about my looks. I am simply happy that I have lost over 90 pounds and am getting healthy now. It took me 30 years to get in that kind of shape, but has taken me almost three years to get where I am now. So next year when I reach 50 I should be at my final goal weight. I look in the mirror to check to make sure my hair is not standing on end and when I put makeup or lipstick on. I agree that this society as a whole is to centered on looks. What is inside that is the important thing. We should be more worried that we are raising children that can go forth in this world and support themselves and their families and be productive citizens. The worth you feel inside is so much more important than what you see in the mirror.
