One More Thing
SURE, "looks", in a very scientific sense, matter. And I mean, scientifically. We are wired, by nature, to accept certain things. It's been proven that symmetrical are more pleasing, thus more in demand, than asymmetrical faces. Men are wired to look for a healthy waist to hip ratio. Women are wired to look for healthy hair and skin, for this lets our "bodies" know who will be best to "perpetuate the species".
Also, women think differently than men. We cannot punish men for being left brain thinkers (more facts and figures based) as opposed to us being right brained (more lingual, emotional, and thought based). BUT, what I actually hate more is the rampant shallowness that is permeating our society.
I am going to take a moment and self-boast: I think I am very intelligent, damn funny, cute, kind, passionate, and an overall well rounded woman. BUT, because I weighed almost 500 lbs, no man would get passed that. Honestly, I can't blame them....totally. No one is cookie cutter, no one looks the same. But, for goodness sake's, you don't have to be attracted to someone to be a friend.
There in lies my gripe. This is not everyone's issue, but I find that the more looks obsessed you are, the more likely you are to filter friends via the same criteria you filter lovers. That's a problem that I want to devote my life to resolving!
