Just because I occasionally wear a hoodie (to stay warm) doesn’t mean I pay homage to Thug Nation hotwater
what if you explain your opinions while shaking it for me? i promise to listen. just uh...don't quiz me afterwards.
last time i got arrested i was in the front seat and the cop looked over to me and asked me if i was goth or what? because i was wearing a black and silver corset dress. im not goth! its just a pretty dress. what a dick.
^I think it all depends on the degree of how people know you. At first looks CAN be VERY important. But I'm telling you, I've beat out some "much better" looking people then me at some crazy things for other reasons....
It is more about how you present yourself. Your charisma if you will. Or your 'aura' or 'vibes' to keep it in hippie terms.
I typed out a long sentence and then realized it could be better said in a simple "yep". (ive realized the correct (often kinda warm and also kinda mischevious and knowing) type of smile, mixed with the right eye movement and BRIGHT eyes can show an aura that surpasses.... (i gave up.. im high and tired... sigh....))))))) where you at now bird?
I have fake charisma for when I'm teaching-- I actually manage to be patient, generous, kind, confident and considerate. It disappears the second I'm out of the classroom, and then I revert back to my mean, depressing, sarcastic self. But I think a lot of how good you look has to do with how you present yourself. If you're just flat out fat and ugly, then you probably can't redeem yourself, but if you're somewhere in the middle you can compensate by having a good sense of style or by being outgoing or smiling a lot. Or you could move to a country where people actually think your features are attractive. If you're a white person in certain parts of Korea or Japan, everyone will think you look like a movie star, or maybe not think it but say it anyways-- so I get told I'm handsome a lot and I've even heard that I look like a movie star, but none of it is true. Then again, I've also had people tell me I look like the child molester in 'Hard Candy'.
(to heywood floyd) I loved Hard Candy. And I agree with your post. As sad as it is, if you're too far on the ugly side- it's hard to redeem by smiling a lot and having a winning personality.. possible but not probable. The beautiful people... well, study after study has shown are percieved as having more winning personalities, whether they actually do or not. The people in the middle looks wise have room to let personality and the various traits entailed - including and maybe espiecially how they present themseles, make a shift in how they are percieved looks wise. Bird... where to? I'm saving up to travel to the Dominican Republic as you may have read. I'm sure I won't be gone as long as you but yeah... looking forward to going somewhere different. And then after that, a few months later, somewhere else... etc...
I wish more people (women I should specify) would give me a chance at being a friend instead of snubbing me, assuming that I'm either a bitch or not worth giving the time of day due to their own personal insecurities. Because dammit, I do have a good heart. I don't consider myself beautiful, pretty maybe, in good physical shape because I work damn hard at it, but I hardly feel like I should be a threat. But for some reason, I'm almost always viewed as one. That being said, I don't have very many female friends.
