A Question Answered
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Why do females compare themselves to supermodels, actresses, and music stars?
|
|
|
|
The answer to that question has transpired to myself today, and I am going
|
|
to share that with you this night.
|
|
|
|
Earlier today I came home from work. No one was really around to do
|
|
anything with so I figured I might as well check out a friends web page
|
|
that had just been re-done. Going through the different pages, I found one
|
|
that held pictures (images) of different females that he thinks are
|
|
beautiful, or what he finds attractive. No wonder him and I never amounted
|
|
to anything more then friends.
|
|
|
|
Even though he is not one to only be with girls that look a certain way,
|
|
going through the page, and looking through the pictures, I started doing
|
|
something that I have not done in a long time - compare myself. Of course
|
|
the pictures are re-touched, buffed, airbrushed, or perhaps some of them
|
|
actually manage to be real - either way though, I look nothing close to how
|
|
they do. Some of them, there are flaws or things I can see that I like
|
|
better about myself, or at least that I do not like about them. However,
|
|
for the majority, I wish I could look that good to someone else.
|
|
|
|
There are two things I pride myself on, though I rarely get the chance to
|
|
show off as I would like to and that is my hair and my ass. I know I have
|
|
great hair, and I have a great little ass. Though that does not catch the
|
|
eyes usually like a girl that has a great set of eyes, or whatever. The
|
|
rest of me is in great shape. I know this. As time goes by, it will
|
|
continue to get in better and better shape as I continue to work out and
|
|
keep with my new way of living.
|
|
|
|
The last few months though, I have not been able to work out like I
|
|
promised myself I would (which I had stuck to fairly well, up until then).
|
|
My stress and tension has been building up inside of me, and has not only
|
|
resulted in headaches more frequently (usually I never get headaches),
|
|
scattered thoughts (not so much writing), inability to concentrate as much
|
|
as I should, and now troubled sleep. All of those put together, for this
|
|
length of time turns out a very unhappy sort of girl. One that is crabby
|
|
or snappy, one that does not smile as much, and one that sighs now more
|
|
then talks. I hate how I have allowed myself to come. What can I do?
|
|
|
|
Tomorrow I will be going to a doctor, and hopefully will get the go ahead
|
|
to being able to work out again. If not, I better get a damn quick remedy
|
|
to the reason that has been keeping me from being able to do my usual
|
|
routine. Three months is _too_ long of a time!
|
|
|
|
"I like you when you're angry", "You're cute when you're upset." Oh,
|
|
that's a _great_ reason to push my buttons. If it wasn't for the fact that
|
|
I knew the person was just trying to get to me, because they think I get
|
|
cute that way, I would beat them. Goodness knows I have beaten others, why
|
|
should they be any different? Because they are just trying to lighten up
|
|
my mood.
|
|
|
|
A question answered ... "Why do girls always compare themselves?" Hate to
|
|
say it, but it's not just media such as television, movies, and music, it's
|
|
how males and females alike react to the ones that are in the media. The
|
|
'media' and 'society' are just as guilty of it as the ones of us that are
|
|
reading this file. We have all done it. Thought, spoken, gesture, etc.
|
|
first instinct or impulse, thinking someone is awesome looking, great, or
|
|
wanting to get to know them based off of how they look or act - not based
|
|
off of what we know.
|
|
|
|
Going through the links on the page, there are little titles with the
|
|
pictures, saying what he likes about the different pictures. I would say I
|
|
would think it would make them feel like a goddess having someone do that
|
|
to them, though I know better than that, too.
|
|
|
|
Having yourself dissected in front of however many people is not a
|
|
compliment, but a way to rip apart someone from their very spirit. It
|
|
hurts more then compliments. It can be laughed off, shrugged away, or
|
|
forgotten, but somehow heard or seen enough it seeps in - leaving an effect.
|
|
|
|
When males (or females for that matter) glamorize the other (stars of some
|
|
sort), how can we not look at ourselves and compare? It's only natural.
|
|
|
|
Natural ways though are not always the most uplifting, and there must be
|
|
some way of snapping out of it. Not letting yourself be dragged through
|
|
the mud. Each of us are created looking slightly different and some of us
|
|
greatly different from others. That should be a plus not a strike against us.
|
|
|
|
Yet, there I was, comparing myself to them. How they had their hair, wore
|
|
make-up (which I do not even wear, though maybe I should?), dressed, and
|
|
just overall looked. It's not healthy, it's not wise, and it^Òs not good.
|
|
Though how could I help myself. Thoughts started slowly slipping into my
|
|
mind "No wonder he didn't like my eyes." in reaction to seeing how the
|
|
girls eyeliner seemed to be almost a 1/4 inch thick around her eyes. "My
|
|
hair looks like that and I'm told I look too submissive for anyone's
|
|
liking." Yeah right.
|
|
|
|
Maybe my attitude is a bit large, or overwhelming, though when I have not
|
|
had it at times, people miss it and encourage me to have it again. If it
|
|
weren't for how I am, I would not be me. There is no one else that I would
|
|
rather be, yet I find myself wondering what it would be like to be someone
|
|
that this person would find beautiful.
|
|
|
|
"I'm not beautiful to some people." "Isn't it the point of the person doing
|
|
the picture to show your true beauty?"
|
|
|
|
Cut the hair, dye the hair, buy new lipstick, start doing heavy eye makeup.
|
|
All things that I could do, and have done. Is it worth it in the end? No.
|
|
|
|
The pictures are just what he found to be beautiful; it's not limited to or
|
|
all-inclusive. Remembering though, that numerous people have often
|
|
wondered what makes a girl think less of herself, or why they sometimes
|
|
compare themselves to others, I figured I might as well help Answer that
|
|
Question. Since I finally realized I held a piece of the answer, tell me -
|
|
is the Question Answered?
