on beauty and other stupid stuff...

Is there anyone out there that looks ordinary or especially if he or she has some visible flaws who wouldn't want to look pretty?
Of course, there are also the ones in denial, saying they prefer being smart rather than pretty, but we must admit that unfortunately, pretty people have it much easier. They always get what they want with a smile, they don't have to work as hard as ordinary plain people, they get pretty life partners and seem more important in everyday life because everyone looks up to them. Pretty in this case must also be agreeable, and once those two attributes are merged, the person we are talking about becomes irresistible. Couple that with a public image, someone who stands in the limelight, and you've got yourself a charismatic star.

...like him for example...

Everyone will love the star without really knowing him or her, assuming that beauty equals kindness, beauty is something like a spell drawn over our eyes. A pretty or beautiful person will charm us with a warm smile, we will act benevolent even without noticing it. That is the reason why beautiful people are always so successful, especially if that beauty is teamed up with a little amount of brains as backup.
But speaking of beauty, how about having it as well as a sharp mind? wouldn't that be a dangerous combo?
Wouldn't that mean that the magic would  be double? Who wouldn't want that? Wouldn't that mean the perfect manipulator? ...and the world is full of them...

isn't he just perfect for the role of ultimate manipulator? who could resist him?

I mean what is it about all of us wanting to be loved that makes us crave for beauty, a beauty that we could posses for the sole purpose of being loved for it alone?
And how strange is it that, once we grow older and older...this - as well as all the hopes coming with it - starts fading away, like we start loosing hope, old age means loosing beauty, we are no longer that precious once our beauty fades away....
There are also the pretty ones that are always on the lookout for the right partner, mostly as pretty as themselves, and who are searching...and searching....and searching...
Then there's the opposite, like people who think that they can conquer anyone, including beautiful people, and they often get rejected and hurt, but fail to understand why, so they just block the acknowledgement that they were rejected because they do not "rise up" to that standard...choosing to not accept the fact that they are pure and simply to plain for others.....

I'll have to think about this a little bit harder...

I know these ideas are strange even for me...I came up with these questions watching The Vampire Diaries (I know..I know...)...

...and seeing all these beautiful actors got me thinking far far away...up to the point where I wonder if everyone on this Earth would want to be pretty...or beautiful in fact... then how would life be for us?

 Doesn't it sound like a SF book, with a strange alien planet where every inhabitant is beautiful? But eventually they all turn out to be evil...must have read this somewhere...it sounds too familiar...right?

Maybe a strange consolation, but still a consolation for many of us is the fact that even beautiful people seem to have a hard time in finding a suitable partner; it looks like no matter how beautiful they are, they have the same troubles as us in finding the right partner, and most of all, in keeping him or her.
And then there's the flaws issue...no matter how beautiful one looks, there is always something that they don't like about themselves...so there is really not that easy to be perfect...unless you're a cold heartless bitch...

I think I'm gonna have a sexy haircut now...thank you all for dropping by...

Bisous!
