Honestly...i dont get it...So many people fret about thier appearence, a lot. Understandable, but i mean the "Im not pretty enough for him" or "There are better looking guys" ect. ect. Why do looks matter. Cant we love each other as we are? Im a bit confused and just wondering why.

Jamer70 agony aunti think we can all stand here and blame the media etc

But the only person who can let things bother you, is YOU

if you stand there with your head high from then start and love yourself , it wont get to you. If you let it get to you, it will.

Looks decide things between individuals, not the mass. One mans petite blonde is anothers curvy redhead? But its true personality does matter, but in a relationship chemistry does matter and that includes sexual attraction

Um, have you even see the world we live in?

Princess Diana dies - a bulemic mentally ill divorcee who used to be married to a royal. She was pretty so there was world wide mourning.

Mother Theresa dies the same week - she dedicated her life to amazing acts of kindness - she hardly got a mention because she was a wrinkly old lady.

Looks decide EVERYTHING in life. Yes personality is important but looks come well before that.

Good Luck!! xx

Sexual attractiveness is based HEAVILY on looks for both genders. More so during youth. And very much so for guys at all ages.

It's nature. It's not something that everyone sits around and decides to care about because they like being cruel to others. People can decide to try as best they can not to care, but they don't control their body's own hormones so there's only so much they can do.

The physical features that attract the other gender are the ones that are desirable for healthier childbearing. Also for higher social status. (Social status matters a lot for the same reason. It indirectly gives a much better chance for the kids to make it to adulthood.)

The body shapes that we like are totally governed by this. Tall muscular bodies in guys and round curvy bodies in women.

Even faces too. Face shaping is a subtle-but-powerful indicator about the underlying symmetry of person's whole skeleton.

there are alot of people out there who are very shallow,this means that they have very high expectations of how a person should look. People just dont realise whats inside which mean this person could not be very handsome but will know how to treat a woman, people have just got to think whats going on in this world before they even think of how good they look.

I hope this informtion has giving you an idea of why people act the way they do.
