The Evolution of Beauty

I used to hang out in 'asian' online communities and there's a line of rhetoric which tends to complain that either there's an anti-asian sentiment, albeit not explicit, or that they lack pop-culture...exposure (ie there are very few pop-culture stars of asian descent and/or such people are not as predominant). I tend to think of such rhetoric as defeatist, so I am a pretty terrible person to qualify what I'm saying :p

That doesn't change that I feel I have to try harder to maintain the same social standing. I don't care much any more, but it was a pretty odd wall I ran into since I had thought after all this time in Canada we're over all this asian negativity. Bleh.

I'd start a thread but it would be flamebait no matter how I did it.

Anyway what I said was just a reaction to the 'Beauty Debate', since yes I felt the pressure, well honestly even up until now, of not even remotely looking caucasian.xD The beauty of caucasian women are the standard of what most are dying to follow.
I don't have pretty gray- green eyes and a strong jawline, or defined cheekbones and all other stuff that faces of magazines are showing me. I feel really awkward, knowing that what's beautiful for others I don't even have.

And everybody here loves American women! And also, you American bombshells stop seducing our men.xD lol its bad enough as it is. xDDDDD

Stop making stuff up. I still haven't found somebody to date, so that I can find out after a month that dating somebody is teh sux.

:cry:

xD no seriously, what the hale?

Its terrible sometimes growing up as a teenage girl, girls can be bitches, so everyone competes to look the best. I know of girls who are buliemic, and some who'll eat a burger and then say "right, im not eating all weekend" just so they can get thin. Its horrid, but it happens. The most Ive gone without food was without breakfast, I just got too hungry and gave in.

You see women in mass media looking thin and gorgeous, and it makes you feel like crap pretty much.

Funny. When I have to look at pictures of rugged, tall men with perfect figures and feel completely inadequate and detest myself intensely, people just tell me to stop being so silly. Evidently possessing a Y-chromosome makes you immune to physical criticism and self-deprecation.

I would talk about this whole "Campaign for beauty" rubbishy trash trash, but I'd probably be shouted down by every womans here, so I won't. I will say I find it as shallow as the model-based campaigns, deceptively more underhanded and outright more despicable.

Deffinately
We still live in a time when "big boys don't cry."

sometimes its terrible growing no matter who you are.

BoB Wins.
Skinny skinny girls are disgusting and not attractive in the least.
I like my girls with a little meat. Healthy looking.
I hate how girls feel pressured to think they should look like nicole ritchie, or paris hilton. It's disgusting. Hollywood sucks.

I love these sorts of things.

Wow, that is seriously messed up.

for a woman not to feel pretty, thats just torture! ive never obsessed about my looks. i have a pudge, i would change that if i didnt love food and mountain dew so much, but i dont mind. i think extremely skinny girls are disgusting! ive always been comfortatble in my own skin. im naturally pretty, and i hardly ever wear makeup (expecially in the summer. foundation + sweat + restaurant grease (work) = clogged pours = zits!) i am starting a diet tomorrow, but its only because im worried about my eligibility for the air force. im tall, so its distributed :)

stressing out about how other people find you only destroys your teenage years. i hang out w/ girls (and boys) who dont really care and they just seem happier than the girls who weigh 110 pounds and think they need to lose some. i know im sexy :P and i dont care if i have a couple extra pounds. its not like im fat. sure, i dont wear bikinis, i do have some self respect, but seriously. its the personality that counts. i dont wear makeup often, im not anorexic, i dont look like paris hilton, but i still have tons of guys after me. confedence is what attracts most guys i found out.

fashion, dont get me started. im a jeans, t-shirt, chucks kinda gal and i love it! comfy, practical, matches no matter what, and its just awesomeness!!! i go to school still, and i see all the girls walking around, practically clones of eachother. wheres the individuality? the character? every one has the same dooney and bourke bag, designer shoes, chanel glasses, hollister clothes. jeez, no people, just clones! and all their clothes are so tight! they could be suffocating! i like to be comfy. im there to get a good (well, as best as i could get anyway) education. i dont care about fashion. its superfluous.
