the human condition

Some women definitely try too hard to be beautiful. Let me explain... the excessive makeup, the needless accessorization of the body, strutting around in heels to accentuate body parts, and the list goes on. Now I'm not saying its wrong to pierce your body in 15 different places or scar your body with meaningless tattoos or to painstakingly walk around in uncomfortable footwear. I just think its pointless, all religious beliefs aside. Perhaps I'm just speaking out of utter confusion in the need to express oneself in those ways. What happened to the purity in women I used to idiolize as a kid? Photoshopped pictures, surgical modifications, extreme dieting... now these aren't new issues but what are we doing about it? We men fuel this type of behavior. Then we wonder why some women are bitches and its because they haven't eaten anything for 12hrs and they just got their nipples pierced. I can imagine we as a gender are to blame for some of the things that women put themselves through but its not just us. Women do it to themselves. Let me stop myself before I stray too off topic... I think the most beautiful women are those that are comfortable in their own skin. Those who are aware that they have flaws and that it makes em unique not odd. Those women who don't need to follow conventions only because other women are doing it. Women who keep their mirrors at home, and women who know that one can never be beautiful if only judging by the standards of others. Its superfluous to alter your body to be part of something or to impress another. And its definitely redundant to wear things that are designed to emphasize body parts. If you are being fake, in this case, in the way you attract attention then well can you seriously expect something honest in return?

What a rant... all because of a girl I saw at the bar the other day.
