   I was looking through one of those magazines yesterday and found myself a bit jealous of a beautiful girl I found in there. She was stunning! She was also 18 and I am now 35. I reminded myself that although I am far from ugly now, I was also in my prime at about 18 and that I could now easily be that girls mother. I had my CUTE days. And to tell you the truth, when I was that age I wasn't at all happy. I was totally miserable. I like being in my skin now much more then I did then even though this skin is older. Why? because I feel smarter, wiser. I like the person I have become. Back then I didn't know who I was. I was introverted, confused and couldn't connect to people. Now I can feel a connection to just about anyone. All that stuff has nothing to do with LOOKS. Also I have fallen for men who I thought were gorgeous in the beginning only to end up finding them ugly later (because of their personality). All in all, I try to keep well groomed and showered. But my outward appearance isn't all that important to me. I feel sexy because I know I am a good decent person.

   As a muslim, I dont uncover my body but I do like to wear light makeup and to look neat and presentable, plus I always wear nice headscarves. I think outward appearances are important definately, people need to appreciate both and to admit that they are important.Inside counts though as beauty fades after time and a person only has their charisma and personality left..which more than compensates if you really think about it

   When we are young and nature calls to us loudly to ensure the continuity of humanity, then the outer self appeals strongly, naturally enough, but as we age, so increasingly the inner person overtakes the outer form in terms of importance..However, the eyes ARE the windows of the Soul and it is possible to completely lose one*s self in the eyes of our love irrespective of our age in years..

   I say looks aren't everything but they are part of the package. It's nothing wrong with looking nice or looking presentable. It's what we see before we meet the person.

   yeah you're right. we all say looks aren't everything but we strive to look the best. i guess we're hypocrites.i admit i waste a lot of cash on just makeup. if i go to school with no makeup i feel strange and plain/empty. i'm fine with wearing sweats and a sweater to school though. i just have a problem with using makeup as a crutch which i'm trying to stop. makeup is just an enhancement. i know it's wrong and i'm trying to stop how much i rely on it. i would say i'm pretty attractive on the outside (starting to do modeling)and on the inside. i'm not snobby or self centered. i'd like to think i'm kind, caring etc.everyone SAYS it's whats on the inside that counts but then they turn around and judge the next person they see appearance wise. people need to check if what they are doing and what they are saying match up 'cause it doesn't.
