I think it is because it helps boost confidence. For me, Anyone can be beautiful even if they are not physically perfect. As long as you know ow to carry yourself well and you are confident, you will be beautiful. Just carry your clothes well and add some colors.

I am not always in the fashion but we can still be beautiful even just by wearing the simplest clothes we have. It's not just the clothes but on how you wear them.

Nobody is ugly in the eyes of the Lord and in the eyes of your parents. Even in the eyes of your friends or any other guy in the street, everybody and everything is beautiful. When somebody says otherwise, it is his mind and heart that is filty ugly. So no matter how you look, you are still beautiful. Being overweight doesn't mean you look bad, what you need is a little discipline in your lifestyle, and you will be ok.

It is because people judge by appearances and seldom want to look deeper as it takes time. We all prefer to be surrounded by prettier people than by ugly faces. Pretty means nice and good, although often it is not good in fact. However, if you are overweight, you can still be handsome. Usually obese people are a funny company to be with. Wish you all the best, and don't worry, first appearance does not last long or forever, what is inside you will show up sooner or later..

Beauty is important as it is an indication of how a person is. Beauty does not necessarily mean pretty. For me, beauty is when you can say this person is really someone you can look and be with without getting bored and someone you can stay inspired with. Being overweight does not mean that you are not beautiful. In fact, there are a lot of beautiful people who are overweight. Although, you should still keep your self on a diet for health reasons.

beauty is important bcs when we dont know someone deeply you know how the person really is we also care for how she looks like. like if you see a guy that looks cute you might ohh he seems a sweet guy but if you see like those guys that dont even take a shower or are punks or emos you think maybe they are not good i dont know but the way we look like matters for the first impression you know. i know is not fair bcs sometimes someone doesnt look pretty outside and is so sweet inside and sometimes we lose the opportunity to meet someone so sweet bcs the way she looks but the truth is beauty matters no matter what people say as the first impression it matters. but you know there are few people that still dont care much for looks but care more for the inside^^ thats one of good things in internet. we dont know sometimes how the person looks like near but still we like to talk with him or her is like doesnt really matter how the person looks like^^ anyway dont say you are ugly bcs you are overweight many people are like that and they dont look ugly^^ and if you feel bad bcs you are overweight try to consult a doctor that tells you what to eat to lose some weight^^ but dont say you are ugly bcs everyone has a beauty thing even if is the eyes or the lips but everyone has a good thing^^

Thank you for the king words! So true, internet is proof that someone can be appreciated without being beautiful. I have lots of virtual friends and I can't say how some of them look like, but yet love them!!

Because many people are hollow inside, I dated a guy or two that my girlfriends would say "Yech", but I didn't care, I really liked the way they were. I also dated this gorgeous guy but not because of his facial and physical beauty, but fell in love, in two months I was finding him ugly. There were also girlfriends that were asking if I was crazy to do that.

People are so shallow... Jesus, if you date or break up with someone, you got your reasons for doing it! Thank you, dear!

Beauty is important because it is candy to the eyes. The sight of something beautiful makes one happy and inspired. Anything that does not please repulses, so I think we all should do our best to be as beautiful as we can be.
