Ugly people don't completely exist.

I like how the first post starts out with "Not everyone is ugly. Beauty is subjective. Girls, just be yourselves! Etc..."
And then it's all "DEM FAKE BOOBS AN MAKEUP IS UGLEH."

There's nothing wrong with plastic surgery.
Lol.
I happen to like makeup and plastic surgery (though I'd never have enough money for the latter), while my fiance hates it. I just like it from a personal standard of aesthetic.
Also, to tell girls to stop doing anything society has told them needs to be done to "impress men," would be to also tell them to stop shaving, stop wearing bras, etc.

That just struck me as particularly funny, because it came off as "NO ONE IS UGLY. Except you plasticy makeupy bitches."

Also, what women's magazines are you buying? All of mine just show me a bunch of outfits and accessories that look good together, and tips for applying makeup to not have it be a smeary mess, and shit.

Ok, guise, listen up: I brought up "eye of the beholder" because it is an idiom describing how subjective beauty is. In other words, beauty is relative.

Also beauty magazines don't help, they fill girls heads full of bullshit, telling them "You should be doing bl;ahblah to look good for men cause this is what men want" bullshit, I want a real woman, not one with more colour on her face than a pack of crayola crayons, or fake pointy boobs, or surgery to keep their face looking young, I want real women. I think the only reason some girls feel ugly is because of these girly magazines driling it into their heads that they are.

I live in an all girls' floor in my dorm, and our CA posts magazine articles everywhere for us to read. These are things out of Shape, Cosmo, etc. So in bathrooms, on mirrors, on walls, and even doors there are these cut out pages of "The 10 things not to eat!" and "You need a better butt!", or the worst in my opinon, "The right make-up for your face!" which listed such things as $47 eye liner. Such things drive home that horrible image that women are only valuable to themselves and society if they are physically fit, immaculately make-uped, and expensively decorated. And of course it does nothing for the self-esteem that taped to the mirror next to your average face staring back is a Photoshopped model's, just to force the difference between what you are and what image you wish you were. In fact, I tried swapping out these magazine articles for articles on current world events, science, hell even travel. But they get taken down and replaced with this bullshit. There was one once that was so photoshpped I wrote a note and taped it next to the picture to point out how there was at least five different girls' faces glued together to create this "perfect" image. Any of those girls in the picture would have been beautiful, but it was so strikingly desolate to realize that they weren't considered good enough and needed to be hacked together by computers (a nose from one, the eyes from another, and such). Awful.

I'm pretty sure that we all knew this thread was gonna turn into a circlejerk at one point or another.

Well, people are generally considered to be more attractive the more symmetrical their faces are.

So there is a trend.

This is fucking dumb, what the hell.

I also find those stereotypical images of beauty not very attractive. I think people who look like, well, people are far more attractive then photoshopped perfect women who looks like a goddamn barbie doll.

The only people who objectively are ugly are those ugly on the inside. If a woman's is rotten to the soul, fuck no.

I have my personal likes, but that's my likes. I can't stand people like snooki and by that I mean fake tans, fake breasts and that fuckin jersey accent.
