It is so true! I have never run faster than from guys I dated who would be considered "Gods" in every sense of the physical word.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yes, there are physically magnificent people out there whose pretty outer shells conceal true putridity, or at least an utter void. I myself discovered this truth the hard way.

That's were we see things DRASTICALLY differently.

I never said idolizing them.
I never said placing any MORE value on these folks than what is due to them.


There is a strong different between admiring and using someone as your inspiration, and idolizing them to the point of starving yourself through anarexia, bulemia, etc.

The problem with America is that we are so out of balance with our spirtiual and emotional wellbeing that we slip into a downward spiral of placing too much value in superficial things.

I'm saying, ONCE AGAIN, that I know I will never look like Tyson Beckford. But I can atleast admire the way he looks. I can at least use his beauity and image as inspiration.



I think it's alot less healthy to just assume one can develope an "I am happy with myself" attitude, if they are overweight and suffer from health problems. No--that person was me circa 1999. That person needs to get out of that rut. Otherwise, they'll be miserable, no matter what they say on the outside, and tell themselves on the inside.

is putridity a word?

WillyWonka said:

YOU'RE spats!!!!!

Kidding! I agree. I just can't say it as nice as u.

WillyWonka said:

Do you have an accurate perception of what you look like? Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but how much of the image you see in the mirror is influenced about how you feel about yourself? How much is it influenced by what others say? Do you think you see yourself as you truly are?

This thread headed exactly the way I knew it would.

Dan, I agree with everything you said.

I see what you're saying...and I do agree with some of it. For example, I admire Monica Bellucci for her looks, but I do not think she's a better person or more valuable or deserving of love than me or another average-looking person.

JustErin said:

Which is why, I would also like to see you naked too.

applekisses said:

Yes.... And a genius isn't more valuable or deserving of love than a person of average intelligence.

Exactly...and I know that makes me a socialist...so be it.

Thanks, Richard and Dansa, but you know me and like me, so it doesn't count.

As for fat lazy twinkie-eating couch potatoes. . .

I've decided to embrace the stereotype! I mean, I'm still going to be an obese, active, vegan, healthy type (with the recent exception of a rather large quantity of banana laffy taffy . . . thanks again, WW ). But since everybody is going to assume that I'm actually a lazy slob, I think I'm going to go with it. I'm going to get Hostess-brand gym clothes, and when I finally buy my own kayak ( ) I'm going to have a big long couch painted on the side. Just so people don't see me out there and accidentally think my fat ass is doing something athletic. Wouldn't want to ruin my image.

Or, wait. . . would I be ruining THEIR image? Their ignorant, self-serving, hateful image . . . ?

Whatever. I'm not gonna think too hard about it. I'm just gonna GO for it.

Thanks, guys.

some people just big-boneded, you know.

i've known many people who are on the zaftig side and who were/are incredibly active and healthy. why should they be looked down on because of whatever the hell their glands or genes or whateverthefuck dictate for that person's bodyshape? that's just MEAN MEAN MEAN.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yes!

Omigawd, I would so do it.

You know what I could do? Get a bunch of potato chip and twinkie wrappers (from my skinny friends who actually eat tons of that shit, I guess ) and glue them to the top so I'm surrounded by them. It'll be the paddling snack couch.

I'm so gonna do it. I'll post pics.
