Why do people that don't look attractive get treated differently sometimes by people that look way better than them?
Because humans have ego's,and then there's douchebags. Now mix the two,that's the kind of people that mock others that are "uglier" in perspective than them.
Whoever told those nasty people they were good-looking was taking the piss!
Beauty shines through and ugly hate hardens the person's features!
I like people who like to laugh, regardless of age or appearance or race or sex....
Urgh... people like this just annoy me so much. I would just love it if nobody even cared how anyone else looked; that "ugly" wasn't even a word; that there was no "heirachy of appearence". If there was no percieved "good" or "bad" of appearence, just acceptence, it would be such a great thing.
When people even say that someone else is ugly, even if it isn't in a mean way, it just makes me so sad. Argh! I've made myself angry! Or rather, society and the media has.
I'd try to avoid judging people on anything as much as possible. I subconciously judge people on personality, but I even try and control that as much as possible. Humour goes down well as well, of course, but if you are shallow I'll still see through you.
Because we've been informed that being attractive is the most important thing in the world. Logically, it's obviously true, isn't it? Like, if more people got nose jobs then maybe we'd become clever enough to stop having wars, cure cancer, reverse global warming.
It's all about the nose jobs. Or, here's a thought. Maybe there's another value system that's important? Wow. What a thought!
Thank you, thank you. I looked at a blank page for an hour and had no idea what to write, so I went back to tubthumping about the environment. Lifetime ambition to persuade just one person to give up their car. If everyone persuaded just one person, nobody would have them.
Consider your ambition half fulfilled. It's a hard thing to do when there are no alternatives. But also know that, on average, I talk to about three people a month who tell me they have given up their car for a car free life. Not because they can't afford it, and not because they are old, but because they want to. It makes me very happy to know these people do exist, and they talk to their friends about it.
I don’t think we’ll ever eliminate cars, but we surely can drastically reduce our reliance on them. There is absolutely no reason why - in some communities - cars outnumber the residents. We need to start seriously supporting and investing in mass transit solutions that will lead people to CHOOSE that option, rather than being a means of transportation for the transit dependent. The United States, I’m ashamed to say, is so far behind other modern nations with this. But, no country is doing all that it could to implement environmentally responsible alternatives. We listen to right-wing blowhards talking about how investing in public transit provides an unfair subsidy to those who use it and discriminates against those who don’t. Yet, they fail to acknowledge that the most heavily subsidized form of transportation is the private automobile. Investment of public funds in highway infrastructure outweighs investment in transit exponentially. You really strike a nerve with me on this, but I’m not going to rant anymore since this post was originally about unattractive people. So, I’ll try and tie the two together and say that environmentally irresponsible people are ugly.
I was saying to someone earlier this week that America almost seems determined to design cities in such a way that it makes it necessary to own a car. It'd take decades to change that, by which time I don't think we'll be using petrol/gasoline to power engines anyway.
What we need is either a vast leap forward in battery technology (minimal charging times, and low weight) or a way of getting more energy from less hydrogen (and a way of producing the hydrogen that isn't environmentally dodgy).
That's not universally true. I'm fiendishly handsome, yet people avoid me.
I think people should be treated based on how they act, not how they appear. Ugly people who act like they're hot are the ones who really piss me off. Get the hell away from me and go find an ugly person to try and convince you're good-looking. But, the ones who are ugly and knowingly acknowledge it deserve some respect.
as if you were beautiful, behind this computer you might someone ugly pretending to be hot =="
Because as humans we're taught to look down on those that are different. Being ugly, at least what the media tells us is ugly,constitutes as being different.
I'm pretty guilty of this, more so when I've been drinking than when I'm sober but whenever I see one of my guy friends hitting on a fat or ugly girl, I make fun of them in front of the girl and make comments that aren't directly related to the girls ugliness, but definitley get the point across, I might say something like "Nothing better to do tonight?" Or something. I'm not really sure why. I don't really do this to unattractive guys unless they are really, really ugly. But I will do this to any girl who isn't as pretty as me.
You know what? I love beauty, and I despise ugliness. I also think excessive make-up (not much by my standards) is ugly. And you know what? I do treat people who are exceptionally ugly, fat, etc. differently. If they have a good character my attitude changes but until proven otherwise I judge people in how the look and act. Unlike most people, I judge others this way consciously and am completely okay with it. I like be surrounded by other good looking people. Most of my friends are good looking people (with some notable exceptions).
