A guy friend asked me why, he's noticed, the prettier some girls are, the more insecure they get...
Told him that the average guy doesn't get past skin... and pretty girls know that most guys won't even give them the time of day, or treat them like a princess, or put up with their crap... had they not been that good-looking...
Pretty girls also know that other pretty girls can easily entice their man away... and much as they know that they can easily replace any guy who gives them crap, they also know that having a man love her for who she really is just can't happen most of the time for them... there are, after all, other model-types out there who probably read more books than they do... who probably have more loving relationships... who probably eat real food on time and not saddled by dieting and exercising and make-up all the time...
Same principle, I guess, why average-looking or ugly girls compensate for their looks by putting up with so much crap from men... why they are usually ms. personality and charming and ms. household-helper all in one... especially if the guy is oh-so-cute or if he's from a prestigious background who drives an expensive car...
And yes, average-looking girls who are actually empowered and rich in personality... they get to play girlfriend substitutes a lot of the time, i think, being the perfect woman companion... but not exactly fitting the bill of the average man's standards...
What's the point of this ranting?
Try not to fall for the average man or woman... no matter how she looks like...
Everybody has been cautioned to fall in love with a person whose traits he/she was really looking for, and someone who complements his/her own dreams and values, personality and character...
But... it's so easy to be deluded into just feeling... it's so easy to be sidetracked in the superficial world we live in... it's so easy to forget that love need not cause thunders and fireworks...
And it's so easy to forget that happiness often lies with people we can just be ourselves with...
