Way back when, the definition of "beautiful" was not what it was today. I remember looking at some old magazines. The women didn't look like sticks. It used to be that what attracted men to women was the ability to bear children. Hence why some men are attracted to hips and breasts. But now, with all the anorexia we're seeing the definition of "sexy" change.

low self esteem...the fact that we dont look like jessica alba or whomever else. i get embarrassed when people compliment me. dont ask me why...

can't use just regular bait....nope, no regular worms here; gotta drop in some big worms, and hit the bottom with em....womins like that

That is so true. We have our down days too. And how much does an ego boost cost anyway?

capt'n bob's 12" feelers are $5.oo for a dozen

$6.50 + tax.

women understand very well the nature of their looks
and of the vast number of beautiful people out there
they need to be loved for who they are
and not solely for their looks.

i honestly believe from my experience that many of
the women whom i have met who are truly beautiful
do not consider themselves unusually attractive and
so they enjoy hearing an explanation of what it is
that makes them particularly attractive to you

i find a lot of things attractive about people i meet
and, i enjoy trying to figure out what it is that
gets my attention and draws me to them. but i am told
that i am *different*. maybe it's true.

nite casting works good too, just drop a few jello shooters and set the hook quick like and you'll won't go home ugly early

I am not attractive & I have accepted that. I have many good qualities that should be more important. I value honesty above all else. I hate it & get angry when a guy says "you are beautiful" because it is bull. However if he says "you have pretty hair" I can except that. I prefer hearing, "you are so smart' becauseI know that is true.

So why not lash back at the same society that has made you feel like your less of a person because you don't look a certain way? Rise against the ideal woman, create a new ideal image. I know what your saying is true, but hear me out.

The main problem with society is we as a society already have the image of what is and isn't and aren't willing to look into anything further, but if something blurs this atypical image it creates a kink in which the reaction for awhile will be "what the?!?". I've spent most of my life blurring these atypical images, I'm not what you call "socially accepted" but to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way. It's the same with women and men alike, the difference is women are targeted far more than men (e.g. America's Next Top Model). Do what I do, do your thing and only your thing...as long as it makes you happy.

haha, I'm different in my own way. I'm confident enough in my appearance, for what it's worth.

I'm just saying what I know based on experience and conversation with many friends and family members. I'm not defending those who feel as though they're not attractive, but neither am I attacking them.

There are days when I don't feel pretty. there are days when I feel like everyone should bow before my magnificence (albeit very rarely). I personally don't hold to the ideals that society has imposed upon us, I just do my own thing and let come what may.

Just wait...high def tv is about to fix that problem. Oh my gosh. The people that I thought was so perfect. Aren't! It shows everything that we all have in real life. No air brushing on tv.
