THE KEEPING IT REAL POLL

(Give me a few minutes to finish the poll, then you know what to do. We won't know how you voted, so please be honest.)

A couple of years ago I was watching a television show in an office setting. A VERY attractive woman was being repremanded by her male supervisor in a professional manner, as she should have been under the circumstances; but, she turned to him and asked, "Did you just talk to me like I'm UGLY????".

We all say that outward appearances don't matter, but actions speak far louder than words, huh?

Being ugly sucks. A lot!

I suspect some people feel their appearance dictates their lives, and I would not be foolish to say that the attitudes of our current culture do influence our lives. Still, most of our lives are either the result of our choices or God's grace.

Leo is ironing, so, your argument is invalid Ymmot.

The sad thing about our culture is that it's almost a given that to die young and attractive is much more revered than to grow old but rich in wisdom and experience.

Case in point: Marilyn Monroe and James Dean--our world with forever see them as young, idealistic icons. Then we have people like Marlon Brando (or even Patrick Swayze) and Elizabeth Taylor--they grew up and older in the public eye... and when they died, they were remembered for their youthful looks back in the day, not the people whom they became.

The most beautiful women I know are in their 60's and above because they have so much life experience to share with others.

I think your right there soulsearch. Beauty in a woman for me is what comes from inside, this is far more important! whats on the inside of the cup and not the outside. However, you still need to be attracted to someone, but that doesn't mean what the culture says is attractive.

Why is it that George Clooney trades in his used girlfriend for a new one every couple months?

Should make a poll about "Ladies would you be willing to date a George Clooney if you knew you were going to be swapped out in a short amount of time?"

I wonder why God made varying degrees of attractive people? If everyone just was variations of the same build the world would be a better place.

As i said in annother thread no mater how attractive the person is on the outside, inner beauty to me is more important.. Not even george clooney would persuade me to date him if i knew i was going to be traded in pretty quickly, used and abused

Who knows why God made people verying degrees of attractivness and talents, i guess the world would be a better place but it would be pretty dull, each person liking similar people or have similar gifts and talkents... God made each and every one of us unique , we only have to look at these forums , we all like different things, find different things interesting, were all different,.. What makes us unique is what makes us attractive to one person and not to annother...It hwo we deal with the differences whats important..

Because he can.

Everyone would be attractive if everyone took great care of their bodies and their health (unless they had elephant man disease or something).

For what it's worth, I've never seen the fascination with George Clooney... and I do have to admit that men whom other women find to be extremely attractive intimidate me. I am a bookwormish, indoors-type nerd to the fullest, and I doubt I could ever keep someone like that.

And I most likely would never trust a guy to be faithful if women were making passes at him every place we went!

 

[Jullianna]

I have joked around about liking George Clooney for his looks and sense of humor, but, to be honest, his lifestyle would be a deal breaker. But, since he doesn't even know I'm alive, it's kind of a moot point. haha

I know this poll was pretty long, but I find that people tend to be more honest with their answers if they can answer anonymously, and many of these questions are questions that have been posed in different ways in other threads. I thought some honest answers might be helpful.

Its that fact that each one of is so "unique" that there are so many hurting lonely people. If everyone were on some Par, there wouldn't be so many people posting here about their total inability to find someone to love them

Take a look at the bibles description of people in heaven, sex-less, indistinguishable, un-married people. Apparently that is Gods only way of keeping people happy for eternity. Removing all the things that make them unlovely to each other.

Looks are important because attraction has it's part on a relationship. And profesionally, you have to look neat and clean to give a good impression at your boss or clients, well depending of the job. If you work in a reggae music store you'd look ridiculous in a suit or a fancy dress. But even in a reggae music store they would expect you to look in a specific way of dressing ( a hawaian shirt, and some baggy pants? )

In reality, looks matter, because they are the first impression you give to the world and you want to give the correct impression. However, personally, I wouldn't like to have a close and human relationship with an egg shell. I want the yolk that's inside. Without the yolk, the shell is pointless.
I don't know why I'm comparing people with eggs sorry...just came to my mind haha.

OK, ladies...tell me if I am right or wrong:

The whole attraction to George Clooney thing began because he played a caring, heroic pediatrician (kid's doctor) on ER.

 

[Jullianna]

I barely remember him in that show, but, for me, it's the twinkle in his eye, a killer smile and his sense of humor. It would take a miracle of the Lord for me to actually want to DATE someone like him, but I still find those things attractive. I think we all know that there are people we find attractive, but we wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole because of our God-given good sense.

Unfortunately, my beauty has been nothing but a curse for me.

So he has kinda like a charming, sweet, boy-next-door type of thing going?

Yea I hate it when that happens.

I think you better pray for Him first, and ask God for wisdom and if he really is meant for you

I kinda agree with that statement.
