Keeping Up Appearances

I'll never know why people are so hung up on appearances.

I have had my fair share of crushes on both physically attractive and unattractive guys; jerks and sweeties. In my own personal experience, its mostly the attractive guys who turn out to be complete assholes. They are full of themselves and think that less than perfect (aka me) is not good enough for them. And God forbid they ever take the time to actually get to know me! Well I have my flaws, everyone does, and I would prefer my flaw to be physical rather than something else.

Physical imperfections can usually be fixed, but extreme personality flaws cannot. For example, really hot girls that have nothing intelligent to say. I don't blame them though, they probably grew up being told how pretty they are and never really aspired to be more than something to be looked at. And there are those really hot girls who are complete bitches. Why is it that a guy would choose to be with a girl who is a huge bitch just because she's hot rather than go out with a girl who is super sweet and caring who is overweight? And don't even get me started on those girls who get fake boobs and plastic surgery. Those hot girls won't be as hot someday and when they need a personality to fall back on many of them won't find one, which is sad.

I'm not a huge fan of Chris Crocker (aka "Leave Britney Alone!" guy) because he is very controversial. However, he posted a video on youtube called Judging Covers... and it really spoke to me. He said a lot of meaningful things like "some books have empty pages" and "if you don't want to be bothered by people judging you by your cover, write the pages to your book." I'd like to say it doesn't bother me when people judge me by the way I look, but it does. I had to fight my own thoughts for 20 years before I was able to consider myself worth far more than what people see.

Appearance will always be important, its stupid, but thats the way most people are.
