Why is it important to be beautiful to be acceptable in a society?

what is acceptable and what is beautiful? will you be respected from being beautiful? or will people try to take advantage of you? will you seem like a spoiled popular person in the eyes of the geeks, outsiders and though to take feelings and inside more seriously? Or will you seem unreachable to them?

Personally I am attracted to beautiful people, but I prejudge them hardly cause I have experienced really bad kind of people who had great looks, cause that’s the kind of appearence many good looking popular people have made for themselves, and I’d certainly not want to have anything to do with them if my prejudging is proven to me.

So what is acceptable and what is acceptance? It depends what kind of acceptance you want and from what kind of people… I am not saying I think you should go n’ be fair, cause just because I think fair is better, doesn’t mean it is, and beside you’ll probably agree with me that you need to decide for yourself.

My advice is go with what you feel comfortable and happy with… though if you wish to be accepted then work for it… don’t let your looks alone do the job for you… if you can do that, then you’re in my opinion an amazing person.

I noticed ajax’s reply and wanted to edit something… Ajax it’s true that everyone is accepted in society, but you can’t deny that not everyone in the society accepts each other… there are always some who doesn’t accept you for who you are or for how you look

hollywood and the mainstream media pushes that lie that to be successfull, to be wanted or to be accepted you have to be beautiful! and its a lie and unfortunately thats where you have many teenagers who get so self conscious and so aware about their body that there whole purpose on life is to keep changing there appearance to make it beautiful! which they will never accomplish! Now a days people read magazines and they see these celebrities, that even though they may look beautiful but sometimes they are bad people, and they wanna be just like them and from there its constantly worrying about the way you look and trying to anything to your body or outter appearence because they think that will somehow make them accepted. But its a lie and it only ends up hurting the person trying so hard! Every person on earth has flaws, but everyone has talents, brains, or beauty and you just have t accept who you are and not judge others. Then life wont feel like a losing battle.

Regardless of “hollywood” and the media as everyone is saying, there would still be a huge emphasis on physical perfection, hell it was even that way in victorian times where women would kill themselves with dangerous make-up in an attempt to look beautiful. It’s built into our psyches to appreciate beauty as we are afterall just animals, and all animals want to do is find the best possible candidate to produce offspring with, and that candidate must be as suitable as possible.
