I was thinking the other day about our society and all the pressures people face. I mean, I have no problem with women dressing up and looking good if it makes them feel great (which it does), that's the whole point of makeup and stuff. But the fact that most women only dress up and put makeup on to attract guys is stupid. Even in all those chick lit novels which I do enjoy for the true love ideal the protagonist is normally pretty.

And I'm no saint, I wouldn't enjoy the books so much if the lead character wasn't gorgeous or secretly pretty. But that's the whole point. Even someone like me, who tries really hard not to judge women by their looks, find myself doing so. Of course this may just be me and others who consider themselves against judging women on looks are able to prevent themselves from doing so.

The fact is that these people are rare. If I see an ugly, fat woman on the street most people would be less inclined to approach or help them. And we all love the movies where the girl gets a makeover, is now pretty, and gets a guy.

It's all the media's fault. (and ours because the media gives us what we want).

More later.
