With all the "Do you think I'm pretty" questions do you think people these days care more about whats on the outside then within youself?

do i think i look like prtty or not prtty

THE STORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS REAL ONLY THE NAMES CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR TO YEAR .

Most definitely!!! If those people did care more about what is on the inside they woul dnot be asking...SELF ESTEEM and CONFIDENCE is what they lack!!!

I feel like there will always be people who apply too high a value on appearance based judgement... Of course, I think that there will always be people who ignore appearances :) Our generation does not value appearances more than other generations or time periods, in my opinion. It is incredibly hard (for me, at least) to find somewhere perfect in between these two extremes. I strive to ignore appearances and looks, but how far can you take that before your hygiene suffers?

if people weren't picky about looks it would be better.

things have changed in the past 5 years and people are becoming more health consious. so with that little bit of change..yes, people do care about their appearence..their health..and as they make these adjustments..what they look like.

they're not being shallow..they're trying to better themselves..for who?..hey! for themselves first..then whoever is important in their lives. improvement doesnt have to be because you've gained weight...but think about it..people ask questions to help better themselves...they want to know how..and why..and who..and when..and what can i do about myself to make myself better.

it's a different formula for each individual even though many parts may be the same..but self awareness and self improvement is on the rise :-))

It does matter if you are pretty or not. Its alright for you to say does it really matter when you're completely stunning but as river rat puts it not everyone is so fortunate. People are bullied and frowned upon if they do not fit conventional beauty! Some people have commited suicide over such . So really nowadays if you are not somewhat attractive you are basically screwed...

First impressions are very important. You are pretty so you don't have to worry about your first impression. What about those girls who aren't so fortunate. They may be beautiful on the inside but not many people take the time to get to know them because of a negative first impression. People are concerned about their looks with good reason.

Looks will get you far, but they're nothing to rely on. Girls asking, "Am I pretty?" makes me want to say (I don't feel like being clever) "No, you look like crap"

True

Even the most beautiful girl may have doubts at times about their appearance. Being a smart a$$ doesn't help anybody and reflect negatively on you.

Maybe so, but if all they want to do is bitch at the people that say no, even though they let them down gently, then you kind of lose the obligation to be nice.

Your obligation to be nice shouldn't be determined by someone else being an a$$. It should be part of you.

I see what you're saying, but it does get frustrating when people just don't accept something as an opinion. I've seen it happen a lot on here alone.

You will run into a lot of frustrating things in life. How you deal with them will help determine how successful you are in life and how happy you will be. Don't let somebody else rain on your parade.

Working on that. Easier said than done, but still not impossible.

Good for you. Good luck!
