On a scale of 1-10, when I was 20, I was an 8 in body shape and a 4 face wise. So, when I hitchhiked I wore my bigger brother's holey-denim jacket (definitely a guy's jacket), lose-fitting trousers (still my preference), and buttoned up shirt buttoned to the neckline. (Only top button left unbuttoned.)

Five guys picked me up. Out of the five guys, the ugliest was only an 8. Some of them were 20-year-old Brad Pitt and George Clooney gorgeous. (I also thought gorgeous guys would never rape anyone because they could get all the girls they wanted -- except me.)

I was raped.

Don't keep passing on this old wive's tale, it's not true and it's very harmful.

(Not angry, or even upset, but I do ache for any woman who believes it.)
Terribly sorry for the pain you went through with those men, but I saw the pic you posted in the women preacher thread and I take exception with your 4 designation for your face. I know it's not important but I think you need to bump that up a few numbers. The hand holding the ciggy might be a 4 though!

I must have missed that post. Do you know the number?

Pretty is as pretty does. I raised my daughter on that saying. She was a very cute little girl but she was a mean selfish little brat sometimes too! I tried to teach her that looks are only skin deep. Its the heart that matters.

Being born with good looks is not a bad thing until you make it your focus. I have a feeling it is not your looks that gets you in trouble but it is your inability to say no or perhaps it is a self worth issue. You may as well learn right now while you are so young that people will treat you how you teach them to treat you.

Lay low and commit yourself to really reading Gods word.Get to know your KING who wants you to live a peaceful and joyous life!
[h=1]Romans 12:2[/h] [SUP]2 [/SUP]Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.



Ask The Lord what is in your heart that needs changing like David did. Psalms 139:23

I hope this helps.
Blessings to you

Lol are you still carrying this on today?
You wanna see beautiful...that my heart is going to cry for?
Try looking at Jesus on the cross!
Better yet...if your beauty makes you so sad.
Why don't you visit the childrens burn unit at your local hospital.

Today is about the beauty of Christ.

Best wishes to your posting the fact that your beautiful, but doing it in a deceiving waym
Like you don't like it.

I know...I know

You are going to offer prayer to my unkindness
Please do....
I'm so worried about where I'm going...rollseyes
I think this thread came out totally not the way i want people to see me.no im not deceiving im actually frustrated a bit about it because i feel vain and all that bad stuff at times still so i fight it and i dont wanna think let me lure men in with my looks or i look better than you.. So yea it may not actually be a big problem but isnt this what this site is for ? Theres worst threads out there.. But i guess people who really dont know god criticise and think theyre connected to god LOL.. And i actually would love to help children in need ive been thinking about going to my local hospital and volunteering for some time.. I also was thinking that if i geta job soon i might go to greece or other countries that are having refugee problems to help the refugees and the children .. So yea im not just some girl complaining about my looks to get men im actually doing it for myself because i was very egotistical before.. Good day sister

This had me thinking. Nothing bad with fishing compliments at that age. I mean, I think it's part of growing up. But it doesn't end there. Anyway, before I get derailed.

If you needed us to affirm your identity, godsslife, who you are and if you matter or valuable, no harm in admitting that. No judgement. But if you haven't realised yet, that that's what you're needing, maybe this is a good time to reflect?

And if it is, then there IS a solution.
Im not! .. Only the lord knows my true feelings about me and how i feel of myself.. I shall not explain myself no longer when i have to many others ..

lol well dont look at a reponsabiility as a burden. Your not alone on that topic but you shouldnt be so negative. Many people here also just read and hear what they wanna hear. I think your thread is just silly because of your mindset to it. Be glad that your pretty. and men will lure if your pretty or not, people will pick and be jealous if your pretty or not, if your skinny or chubby. Stop worrying about others but start working on yourself. The work repentance used in the New Testament literally means ''to change the way you think''

You simply have more problems when you're beautiful. You have to watch out with rapists and people that try to take advantage of you and you get more temptation if you're open for that. One girl who went to our church is so stunningly beautiful. She's gonna do the Miss Holland contest this year. Have her as a Facebook friend. She doesn't go to church anymore. Every time another beautiful pic and those eeeww guys responding, that whole world she's in. She lets herself be treated like a piece of meat. Such a pity. She's really lovely. It's not always a blessing. Guess it's like money. A poor person will say what are you complaining about to a millionair, but it can be a snare.
Try to look more plain, put a knot in, don't use make up, wear guy's clothes and less guys will bother or tempt you.
Yea.. I have logic and an amazing protective mother thank you

godsslife....wow...talk about focus upon SELF....I am not condemning you...JESUS tells us that you can tell a tree by it's fruits. This site is not for anything made of vanity at all. JESUS gets all the glory and praise here..or should. We see none of that in your posts. We can only read what your mind has produced. We see nothing at all about JESUS here. We see a teenage picture of a young female who is voicing her thoughts and opinions of her SELF...and by saying "THere's worse threads out there" is no justification for this. You even admit that you were very egotistical....but it's still lingering. Once the Holy Spirit had gotten into your MIND....your posts will change entirely....and until then...you have our prayers that GOD will offer every opportunity for you to refocus upon His Son JESUS CHRIST...in whom is no vanity.

I at one time was very beautiful and took great care of myself and yes did dis sinful things with my mind and body because i did not respect myself. I understand that being beautiful and having every guy hit on you and looking at you as a sex object etc... I found myself living a very sinful life because I did not have respect for my own body and self and i was young and just living it up. I am now 43 years old and have two beautiful children and I am trying to regain respect for myself and for the lord. I have also lived a life that has wore me out and made me look old etc,, so now I look just like a regular person but my heart is healing from all my choices I made early in life. I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It does not matter if you are regular looking or beautiful If you have the respect for yourself and guys are being distasteful and showing you negative attention then you need to be strong enough to say you deserve better then that and walk away. while it is nice to get attention at times to make yourself feel good dont get me wrong. I feel that one you should be thankful for the beauty you have both on the outside and the inside even beautiful people can be ugly on the inside. So take time and thank GOD for what you have and pray that God will help you find positive people to be around and not people that are fake and use woman for their looks and not their inner beauty and I think you will be fine.
Thank you for your story. God bless

Okay are you really this blinded by yourself and don't notice you're doing the exact same thing to quite a few people or are you a troll looking for attention? Because the person putting down the most people on this thread is you.

I think i should stop explaining myself to wannabe smart ppl

I don't recommend going to a children's burn unit to avoid beauty. I've seen enough sick kids to see beauty often in them no matter what they look like.
Youre very ignorant

I hate that god gave me beauty because it has given me the wrong decisions in life and even made me sin.. I sometimes wish I was a regular looking person or a person most men dont give attention to i know this is a stupid post or whatever but its a random thought ... Im grateful for it but the same time I don't enjoy it that much .. I dont mean to sound conceited or anything
God gave everyone beauty because we are all made in His image. :) What you're saying is that you have been conditioned to believe your outward man (the flesh) is what makes you beautiful. In fact, that type of beauty is deceptive because it is of the flesh and not the spirit.

We are instructed not to acknowledge anyone according to the flesh anymore, not even Jesus Himself. But we are to recognize one another in the Spirit. [2 Corinthians 5:16]

Look at Caitlyn Jenner. She was on the cover of a magazine as a woman who is beautiful according to the world. Anyone can make themselves look like something the world wants. But that's not beauty. Don't believe that lie.

If someone's heart is focused on themselves and what they can receive from others, that is not beautiful. That is pride and it's ugly and destructive. Jealousy is related to it as well because the world is full of people competing for attention with whatever they can do to get into the spotlight. The devil even tried to do that. He tried to compete with God's glory.

Don't view yourself through the eyes of the world. The Lord paid a price for us all to be set free of that and has allowed us to live freely in His light and perfect love. Your outward man has been crucified with Christ; it's now Christ Jesus living in you as His vessel of honor. \:D/

"Be of good cheer... I have overcome the world." Jesus says. :) You have been lied to. Your value is not based on the outward. Believe the Lord when He tells you that you are a new creation, a spiritual child of God.
