[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All women with a good heart are beautiful.  End of story.[/quote]

But not pretty.  And you know it. You  know exactly what we're talking about here. Nobody looks at pictures of women on "People of Wal-Mart" and thinks "She has a good heart, so she's beautiful."[/quote]
So what -- it's about changing the perception of beauty, and it starts with how you see yourself.
For years, you did not see many black women considered as the hallmark of beauty, does not mean they weren't it was they were not being appreciated and being ignored. Change the paradigm.[/quote]

Again, you completely miss the point. The point is that it's okay to NOT be pretty.  It's not about making other people appreciate your differences or "changing the paradigm."

Beauty is nice to have, if you have it. If you don't, it's fine to rely on other strengths.  Women who don't choose to pursue "being appreciated" are not sad or missing out or doing something wrong or insecure. They are choosing to pursue other things.

It's okay to be ugly. Really.  You don't have to chase this standard. Women who aren't beautiful have worth, even if others don't appreciate it. If you know it, you don't have to "change the paradigm."

Fuck beauty. There is so much more to living.[/quote]

Totally agree.  Why not focus on what you have control over?  I've always been in the sort of "above average" category, going to legit pretty during some years of life, but I find that aging is freeing because I no longer am really concerned about it.  It's nice to not define yourself by your looks.  I stay healthy and active (and clean and dress appropriately) but I don't care if people think I'm pretty or not.  I have daughters, and I really hope they think of their physical appearance as something WAY down low on the list of what's important/valuable about them.[/quote]
