Real Beauty

I've seen this before and was amazed......... but it totally reaffirms my love for "imperfect" women.
 
Like I said somewhere before, that girl was really pretty to begin with, looked her best maybe 1/3 into the applying of make-up (just before they started messing with the hair), and looked really grotesque after the photoshopping (right near the end, which Youtube is not loading for me now).

But besides that, they make a good point.
 
I think it's just pathetic. Why do we tell our children that they have to look like this to be desirable? I tell my daughter every day that I love her the way she is, but I know it will just take one ignorant boy telling her she's not pretty enough (or not physically appealing) and she'll want to change herself. It truly disturbs me.

It's funny because I swear it effects women more than it effects men. Most men I talk to don't mind stretch marks or how the shape of a breast changes after you've nursed two babies, or whatever. But women seem to soak this stuff up like osmosis, as some sort of expectation for perfection.
 
I have always loved a mother who looks like a mother and not like a model. Stretch marks, saggy breasts a little tummy bulge just below the navel, woman are not perfect, all us men know this, all you women know this, so why does Hollywood feel the need to beautify a woman. Sure it may be, in someones distorted mindseye, beautiful but I would rather the look at the not so perfect ladies at the grocery store.

I tried to morph my pic like they did this girl. It's suitable only to post on www.uglypeople.com :eek:

That's cause you tried morphing into Oscar the Grouch. We've seen snippets of the real you... you are way sexier than Oscar ;)

No way, Jose'. I'm rapidly turning into a middle aged old bag :rolleyes:

Paper or plastic?

Sorry I couldn't resist :D

Well the last pic I saw of you was hot, so I refuse to believe this "middle aged old bag" nonsense. You can't be middle aged and old.

But, unfortunately, gravity always wins :(

Hey, I like middle aged**! The maturity, wisdom and beauty that comes with age is amazing to behold.

True, young "girls"* have the tight skin and don't sag in the right places, but a woman of maturity carries herself in such a way that she glides across the floor as she approaches you.

* over eighteen under thirty
** thirty on up to fifty
 
A very good video. Because of the Hollywood stereotyping our teens are suffering an epidemic of Anorexia and Bulimia. If they could only understand the concept expressed in this video.

Neat video, more compelling than I actually expected it to be. Especially the photoshopping stuff.

Men tend to focus on what we find attractive in women. Women tend to focus on what they find least attractive about themselves. Like, if a woman has gorgeous eyes but a slightly imbalanced nose, my attention is going to be focused on her eyes.

But the nose can make the face even more attractive ...

... if "slighty imbalanced" doesn't mean broken two times in different directions or something :).
