[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has a different opinion of beauty but some kids are just naturally more attractive.

We are Asian. My daughter is an Asian beauty. Who knows if her little blonde friends think she is pretty?[/quote]

If other Asians besides mom & dad think that she's beautiful, then so would the blondes. The fundamentals of beauty are more cross-cultural than you would think.

NP. That's not what that article says at all.

I was going to come here and immediately say "blonde hair and blue eyes." That is very clearly an OVERSTATEMENT, but if I had a nickel for every rather plan white kid who was mooned over by adults because they had light eyes and hair, I could quit my job for at least six months. Yes blah blah it's getting better, and more kids of color are being recognized as beautiful by even white people, but I basically don't know a blue-eyed blonde who isn't gushed over, no matter their facial symmetry or literally any of their other features, assuming no disfigurement or visible disability (another issue).

I don’t think this is true at all. Not all blondes are beautiful. There are some who are but definitely not all. There are several who are super plain. I actually think some Hispanic little girls are beautiful and mixed race kids. I feel style, money and grooming may matter more as they get older but when they are young, I think these girls are the most beautiful.[/quote]

Oh I totally disagree. I have regular white lady brown hair and brown eyes, and somehow birthed a long legged curly blonde headed kid with blue eyes and my dark eyelashes. I'm going to be honest, she was a super rolly polly baby and looked bloated with baby fat, but people still fawned over her like crazy. Now she's a nice looking (IMO), but not striking kindergartener and still gets a TON of attention about her appearance everywhere we go. We're out with her friends or cousins and SHE gets the comments about what a beautiful girl she is, and the other same aged girls get ignored. And she's my kid, I think she's the best, but she's definitely not the best looking one in the bunch. It's her coloring, plain and simple, and I can see already how it makes her life easier. She knows to be polite and say thank you, and we talk about how being kind is more important than being pretty, etc., but at some point she'll notice she gets more attention than other kids and we'll have to address why that is exactly.

Your daughter could absolutely be beautiful. I don’t doubt that.

Just because you have blonde hair and fair skin doesn’t make you beautiful though. [/quote]

You miss my point. I, her mother, don’t think she’s beautiful. Cute and nice looking, sure, but not a beauty like some kids. I say that because I’m looking a lot more closely at her features than the random people we encounter. It’s her blonde hair and blue eyes that gets her the constant comments and attention. The world sees those features and calls her a beauty, not me.[/quote]
