Speaking of beauty, my best friend and I often argue about this subject :
SHE always goes after ugly guys, or at best VERY mediocre. Whenever I ask her WHY the heck she wants to hook up with a ...err...not particularly good-looking guy, her answer is always the same : "Cos if I date a hot guy, all women are gonna be running after him and I'll have to fight them off !" .
WHAT THE .....????! So, you just wanna date/be with an ugly guy just so you can be sure no-one will try to steal him from you ??! What kinda logic is that ?!
Seriously, her logic is driving me nuts ! Everytime she says "Oh, look, there's a gorgeous guy !" she just means he's not butt-ugly . As long as he'sot 5 ft tall, 800 pounds and has five legs and on eye, she's gonna say he's good looking !!!! Like there is no in-between ? If he's not fugly he's "hot" ???! You know, he can be neither-nor ! He doesn't have to be either, he can just be plain normal. She's brought everything down to black or white, she has !
Or another time when her other best (female) friend and I were trying to talk to her about her weird logic, she just kept saying "Good-looking guys are all either in love with themselves and complete snobs, or have too high expectations. If I hook up with a good-looking guy he won't let me eat anything so I don't get fat, he won't let me get out of the house without make-up " etc...
She just somehow thinks that looks always have to balance out somebody's inner qualitites. So when she sees someone good-looking, she immediately thinks because they're good-looking, something has to be wrong with them on the inside ! Is that reasonable ??? There are plenty good-looking AND nice guys out there ! From my experience, at least ! She thinks it's gonna be either looks or character, and she opts for character .
Don't get me wrong, I think the inner qualities are important too, but (at least for me) they're equally important to good looks. Not MORE . I can't possibly fall in love with someone who I find unattractive just because they're nice, funny etc.
What do you guys think ? Is she crazy or am I shallow ??? I know when you say you like good-looking people everybody calls you shallow, but I think they're hypocrites ! Everybody likes good looks !! Or else, noboy would look after themselves and just be like "Oh, I don't care how I look, my TRUE LOVE will love me even if I'm unattractive "...
