I think itz because people dont see the person's good heart.....only looking at the body figure.After all it is the present generation?

It isn't even that. To a large extent society determines what people find attractive. Not too long ago men went wild over a woman's legs, now it is breasts, soon it will be nostrils. In harder times overweight women were considered particularly attractive. Far too few people are willing to work to see the innate beauty of a person; they'd rather take the easy way out and only see what they think they should see.

I think it's because people are basically egocentric.  Also self-preservation is rather high on the list of the instincts.

This is just an example of teenage expermentation.  Every teenager goes through a point where they are something they are not in search for who they really are.  I know it's fustrating to see people poseing, but it's a way for them to grow and understand the world around them.\n\nI too was very depressed as a teenager and even was hospitalized.  Somehow people around you don't understand that it is a deep seeded problem, not just a fad or a phase.  Ignore those who don't give you any respect and understand that you will eventually start feeling better, although you may have to change your life to do so.

Many were raised to beleive that material things makes the person. Others are pressured at school and work, and think in order to fit in that they have to have the best of everything. Others just don't plain care about anything but themselves and what they can do for themselves. So many people are just lost in this world. When we die and cross over, noone will be taking their Ipods or any material possesions with them..only their soul and the memories of what they did while they were on Earth...Unfortunately, too many people just live for the now, and others don't believe in the afterlife at all which gives them free reign to be selfish and self centered.

I think they do it to get your views.  Your views may help them to shape their own character.  Also, they do it to make themselves feel better about who they are at the moment.  There are so many reasons.  Remember, always say, "There must be something good about that person."  I didn't know it was your they were talking about.  Don't beat her up anymore.  She's not worth it.  Let the people believe whatever they choose to believe.  O.k?, o.k.

funny you should mention this, I was just thinking the same thing last night. I dont see anything wrong with it,  but maybe what others are looking at is her lifestyle. People have a way of seeking out negative instead of looking at positive. My opinion, good on her she has love to give so why not give it.

unfortunately,nowadays,if it doesn't fall into the "instant gratification" catagory,people forget......\nsociety has no moral stamina.

maybe its bc people have more lust than when they show their qualities! like i mean, try to get to know them more, and maybe you'll find that they do have good qualities

So do you want people to walk around in burlap sacks looking like they just rolled out of bed?  Most people are not born looking the way that expresses who they are.  So they put on make-up, dye their hair, etc.  I think the problem is not that people are fake, but they are reveling a side of them self that can be unpleasant.  We've all vain, deal with it.

I agree with you. People that think money is more important than how they treat people get what's coming to them.... They're probably trying to attract the best looking female they can, but very shallow if you ask me

Well to be perfectly frank people in this day and age are jerks.\nPeople seem to be involved with themselves caring little about anyone or anything else. They are a product of the fast paced world we live in today. Don't get me wrong not everyone is like this. You are obviously old school (a very good trait), but most people in the world today weren't raised like you. Don't give up keep being yourself (even though it may piss you off sometimes). Believe it or not by being the way you are you are most definitely making a difference in the lives of others, even though you may never know it. Good Luck. And by the way good afternoon!!!

Aesthetical presence is not everything, they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Just because someone does not necessarily look pleasing to the eye does not mean that they are not beautiful in their own way

The media and marketing glorify it, as do movies, music, and the general entertainment industry. It is portrayed as the way to be wanted, glamorous, rich and happy. The downside is rarely shown. Society will have to change as a whole, including individual personalities, for this not to be 'in demand.' I agree with you.

It is because they are too full of themselves that they judge others. I have also noted at times that they fear those who are different in appearance and thinking. I judge people by how they treat others and not how they look.

Because it's human nature. Plus, when we see someone, we only see their appearance before we get to talk to them and get to know them. After talking to a person, we are able to judge them based on their personality. I think in middle school or high school, looks matter much more than later in life. When we are younger, we are more immature and superficial.

Well, because our society doesn't see black people that way anymore. Times have changed and those growing up now didn't get bombarded with negative images/comments like those before us did. I also think it has a bit to do with women finally saying something about how "beautiful women" are portrayed in movies and print. (i.e. The Dove commercials)\n\nI just hope it becomes even more popular, I'm tired of skinny waifs being seen as beautiful. It's time for people to see real women as beautiful. No matter race and "flaws" like freckles.\n\nRain said it best!

It is all part of the unfortunate society we live in today.  People judge everyone based upon outside looks, and they demand change of others before they are accepted.  This of course seems wrong, but it has become more accepted, since people believe that it really does not do any harm.  Instead, they think it does good, case in point the girl on Oprah that looked amazing after the surgery.  But truth of the matter is that she is not truly her after-surgery self.  She was who she was before the surgery, and that is the way others should have learned to love and accept her.  This requires a fundamental change in society, one that I am afraid will not come about anytime soon.  It will certainly gets worse before it gets any better.
