My parents have always told me that I was beautiful and praised me, even in my awkward years and I really appreciate that. They grew up in such large families that they did not receive much attention from their parents. They have always wanted my sisters and myself to feel loved and I know that when I have children, I will be the same way. | |

When I was growing up, my Mother never told me I was pretty. Instead she took joy in reminding me that I wasn't a full blooded mexican girl. Now that I am grown, and I hear or see people say I am beautiful, it's very hard for me to believe. It's taking me most of my life to accept me for who I am. That is why I tell my 3 kids that not only are they beautiful/handsome, but they are wonderful kids, and that I love them with all my heart.

My parents never told me I was good looking, but they never much payed attention to me either. 
But schoolmates, and the like would always say I was ugly. Mostly becuase I was Asian, and during the 80's being Asian insufferably difficult in the deep south. While others laughed at Long Duck Dong or the various other sexless Asian comedic characters in the movies, I would cringe becuase it would only be seconds before the jokes went my way. I imagine for my sister it was difficult to grow up with "Me so hooonnneey". But I know exactly what it means to grow up thinking that your ugly. And moreover to think that your features are not as important as those of another race. It wasn't until my first blowjob that I realized I must be worth something. Thank goodness I was 11. 
I keed I keed. People who think asians are ugly need their heads examined. Asian guys are sexy as fuck. But I think all men are beautiful regardless of gender/ethnicity/nationality. That shit trips me out because being a black man is kinda like being the black sheep in the dating world, and a lot of time people only want to date us JUST because of our physical attributes, which is sad. There was a time when I used to pray for God to put my soul in a non-black body so someone could love me   
But now I can't keep da hoes off my dick. [Edited 7/10/07 20:19pm] http://prince.org/msg/100/263154?&pg=2

Here's a little twist to this- I have 3 daughters. A 14 yr old, 9 yr. old and a 4 year old. My oldest and youngest are adorable, cute as can be. But my middle child is beyond beautiful, she is stunning! She has huge almond shaped green eyes, hair that looks like it get's highlights, with blonde streaks, and a golden color skin tone. She looks just like one of my grandmothers (at her age). While my other two girls look more like me, brown hair, brown eyes, and dimples. Problem is..strangers will go out of there way to acknowledge how cute my 9 year old is, not a day goes by when someone at the store, on the street etc. will comment on her looks. It makes me feel bad for my other two girls, so my husband and I go out of our way to tell them they are beautiful. It's very rude when you see 3 little girls, and go all crazy about just one. I'd rather people say nothing. | |

My sister in law has the same problem with her 2 daughters. Her oldest has dark hair and eyes..but her youngest, has this golden blond hair, and huge blue eyes, and these dimples to die for. Both girls are beautiful, but the younger one just stands out more. So my sister in law always trys to make the older one feel special too, when someone notices her little sister.

A quote by Marilyn Monroe. Sometimes adults can be very cruel. I was told I was pretty as a young girl, but I was never really praised when I grew up. WOW!!! U2, huh? And, I don't exactly mean pretty in my case, but I mean at least gorgeous or handsome. I find it rare when others can "HandSome" compliments to me; other than my mommy.  Ignore me. You know I'm a fool.  | |

I've heard that I am ugly all my life so when people tell me they find me attractive, I find it very hard to believe them. | |

[Edited 7/10/07 20:19pm] I think that happens to everyone and someone else just happens to date that person because they appear to be "exotic" from everyone else and might want to impress friends by dating someone that looks different from themselves and friends. I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

I've been called pretty and praised for my looks my whole life. It's fucked me up in a big way, it's made me hate myself if I wasn't considered perfect by everyone (which is exactly what I am feeling right now even as a 33 year old woman).
My weight goes up and down and because of being labeled the pretty one growing up when my weight goes up high (like now) I feel like shit and totally worthless. Commenting on a child's beauty can be just as destructive as commenting on their unattractiveness. | |

Commenting on a child's beauty can be just as destructive as commenting on their unattractiveness. Well, then I guess, on the good side, the best way to have it would be to have it moderate. Somewhere like having only your mother thinking your handsome, while everyone would/will just stare at you, having you wonder just what in the hell they are thinking. I used to be overweight (I weighed about 270 pounds at 5'11. Now, I am about 185lbs. and 6'1 1/2), but now I am at an average weight and I would like to tone up. But damnit, does it ever seem impossible. Man, I have got flab on the ass, stretch marks from there to here, and I look twice my age. Aw, man! I went off on a tangent. Sorry. I guess what I was trying to say is that, I guess there are a lot of instance where either being complimented or not, it could be seen as negative. | |

Seriously though, my wife and I made it a point to tell my daughter she was the most beautiful girl in the world everyday when she was growing up....but it was a test because of the absolute meanness of the girls she was growing up with....she is very light skinned, so she got hit with the racial shit from both sides (ugly cuz you're not white/black enough)....and since she has the lineage that she does, she started developing earlier than most of her stick figure acquaintances....so she went from being ugly to them to being fat....now that she's a teen, her self esteem is getting stronger as she is starting to see her "friends" for what they are.....mean spirited little hater fucks....instead of hiding behind big skater clothes so no one could see her figure, shes now "girling up" a bit....still a mountain of attitude, but no longer ashamed of her looks or figure....
