Comments on: Is Beauty Really Skin Deep? http://justeatsmart.com/2009/03/is-beauty-really-skin-deep/ Life in My Words Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:08:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sava http://justeatsmart.com/2009/03/is-beauty-really-skin-deep/comment-page-1/#comment-76 Sava Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:59:52 +0000 http://www.justeatsmart.com/blog/?p=2181#comment-76 Julio, I agree with your comment about the potential (not all beauties are mean) ugliness that can come with beauty and the pain inflicted on the other people who love them. But I guess that’s where the “skin deep” part comes in. Seriously though, have you ever been out to a club or some event with a really hot woman or man and look at the way other people react to them? They do not have to do a thing to be noticed! I mean they don’t have to lift a finger to get things to come to them, or look in someone's direction, or even talk or pretend to be smart to be noticed. Let’s face it; beauty = more attraction! It is an added bonus bestowed upon an individual who was lucky enough to be chosen in the genetic lottery system. I say lucky because it is nice to not have to initially work too hard to show that you are a decent human being and that even though you may not be a stunner you are worthy of love. When it comes to keeping a mate however, oftentimes, the beauty does have to have something else going deeper to keep the attractee but we have seen in many instances that sometimes just being beautiful, in spite of the ugliness, can still keep a mate. Who is to blame? The beautiful who knows they can get away with anything or the weakling who is painfully unhappy on the inside but then shows off a happy face because they’re showing the world that they are worthy of such a beauty?

So no, it is not okay to be superficial. It is okay to enjoy your beauty, to strive for beauty and to appreciate beauty. But when beauty is the product of surgery, it isn't a sign of sign or good genes. When beauty is accompanied by arrogance, ego-centrism, stupidity, cowardice or sadism then beauty just masks ugly and being superficial nets you trophy spouse that only brings you loneliness, pain and unhappiness, unless of course you're just too superficial to care.
