[quote=Anonymous]I once read that the best possible "path" for a woman was to be awkward or unattractive as a child/teenager, because then they learn to develop compassion and humor and sweetness and all the things that people desire. They're not full of themselves because they're the "prettiest" one in 7th grade. They learn to be good people. Later, when they outgrow their awkward stage and fill out and grow and are no longer gawky, but attractive, they are still the kind, humorous and smart people they learned to be when they couldn't rely on their looks. I wish my daughter a long awkward stage. I wish her gawkiness and braces and bushy eyebrows. Because I wish her sweetness and kindness and generosity and compassion, and all the things she might fail to develop if she is convinced that beauty is her most important asset. Let her be beautiful later, after she learns the important stuff. I feel sorry for all of you in this thread who have not found genuine female companionship and support in the world- whether due to your looks or not. There is nothing better than a handful of women who support you no matter what. I have many acquaintances and friends, but a circle of 4 other women who comprise my tightest circle. No jealousy, no competition- they are truly salt of the earth. All women should have that. [/quote]
