No matter how long I live I will NEVER understand someone basing a foundation of roots into a friendship, relationship or anything else on appearance in the other person.
What does that say about your character? I don’t get it. I just don’t.
When I meet someone the first thing that catches my eye or my attention if you will, is the sense of humor they have at themselves, life, anything!
I honestly don’t think there has ever been a time where I based my wanting to get to know someone on their mere looks alone.
By looks I mean anything from their skin tone to their weight. I happen to think it’s a pretty shallow reason if you ask me. What happen to common interest?
An ability to laugh with each other?
There are so many people that get overlooked simply because they don’t flip the bill in the looks department and that’s really sad.
Not just for them but for the shallow mother fucker who could be loosing out on the most loyal friendship/relationship they may ever have.
It’s so true!
I guess I was raised better than most people 😉
I had good roots…My parents were honest and loving people who always taught us to look from the inside out.
You can’t measure a man’s worth by the outward appearance they have.
It doesn’t matter how gorgeous or sexy someone may be on the outside they could be ugly as sin on the inside.
I can almost understand where people say that looks is what attracts them but still, where is the foundation of your interest from there?
What if they are the sexiest person alive and you get together, stay together and once the physical attraction is gone what are you left with? If THAT was the basis for your attraction?
What if something happens God forbid, as in illness, accident or worse and those looks are GONE?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO FROM THERE?
I’m not talking about people who get together, find one another attractive and GENUINELY fall in love. I’m referring to people who there ONLY attraction for someone is wrapped up in an appearance?
And who the fuck decides what IS beautiful?
Attractive?
Pleasing to the eye?
The cast of Jersey Shore???
Yeah right….
I know men/women who have a REAL issue with their spouses gaining weight after years of marriage.
That is the most saddest, pathetic thing I have ever heard.
NOBODY is who they are from when they were first married. Weather it’s weight, attitude, opinion, financial, whatever…EVERYONE changes.
People grow apart sure…but due to the fact the other may not be “as pleasing” to the eye as before?
That’s REALLY sad.
And it doesn’t say much for them as a human being either.
That’s my opinion of course.
Now I get that some men/women completely allow themselves go…sloppy, nasty, whatever the case…But if you have a Spouse who works in the relationship, communicates, does THEIR PART for the home, children ect and still manages to keep prideful in their dress, hair ect I’m sorry, then to “loose interest” merely because of weight is a disgusting reason and quite frankly your shallow ass should be ashamed of yourself.
For someone to go through YEARS of encouragement, support, love, children, emotional stability all to be tossed aside because of a number on a scale?
Wow…
Pretty sick.
I can’t STAND shallow people like that.
When I fall in love with someone I see them from the complete inside out! When people start dating I think it should be a requirement to watch “Shallow Hal” before walking out into the world…The most beautiful things in life can be easily missed when merely looking through the eyes and not the heart.
